Uptake of orally administered drug proceeds after the
stomach passage via the small intestine.
In the liver, a series of metabolic transformation occurs.

Cytochrome P450
The super-family of cytochrome P450 enzymes has a
crucial role in the metabolism of drugs.
Almost every drug is processed by some of these enzymes.
This causes a reduced bioavailability.
Cytochrome P450 enzymes show extensive structural
polymorphism (differences in the coding region).

Cytochrome P450 metabolisms (I)
During first liver passage: First pass effect
extensive chemical transformation of lipophilic or heavy
(MW >500) compounds. They become more hydrophilic
(increased water solubility) and are therefore easier to
excreat.

The majority of CYPs is found in the liver, but certain CYPs
are also present in the wall cells of the inestine
The mammalian CYPs are bound to the endoplasmic reticulum,

Cytochrome P450 polymorphisms
„Every human differs (more or less) “
The phenotype can be distinguished by the actual
activity or the amount of the expressed CYP enzyme.
The genotype, however, is determined by the individual
DNA sequence. Human: two sets of chromosomes
That mean: The same genotype enables different
phenotypes
Depending on the metabolic activity, three major cathegories
of metabolizers are separated: extensive metabolizer
(normal), poor metabolizer, and ultra-rapid metabolizer
(increased metabolism of xenobiotics)

caucasian and 15-20 % of the asian population)
CYP 2D6 poor metabolizers in 5-8 % of the european,
10 % of the caucasian, and <1% of the japanese
population. Over expression (gene duplication) among
parts of the african and oriental population.
CYP 3A4 only few mutations

Genotyping for P450 alleles
Affymetrix (US) has developped microarrays (gene chips)
using immobilized synthetic copies of P450 nucleotides, that
allow the identification of all clinically relevant allelic variants.

Induction and regulation of CYP3A (I)
A series of xenobiotics have been identified, that lead to
increased expression of enzymes of the CYP3A family.

These bind to the pregnane X receptor (PXR) which is the
transcription factor for the regulation of the CYP3A gene
expression.
Lit: T.M. Wilson et al. Nature Rev. Drug Disc. 1 (2002) 259
26
Induction and regulation of CYP3A (II)
The PXR receptor functions together with the retinoid X
receptor (RXR) as a heterodimer.
CYP3A induction leads to an increased metabolism of the
administered substance due to upregulated enzymes.
This can cause adverse reactions, like inflammation of the
liver (hepatitis).
27
RXR and other nuclear receptors (I)
As a specific, endogen activator of RXR, 5β-pregnane3,20-dione has been identified.
In contrast, PXR is much less specific and is activated
by glucocorticoids as well as by anti-glucocorticoids.
Conversely, the unspecific constitutive androgen receptor
(CAR) is found in the cytoplasm and dimerizes with PXR in
the nucleus. Analog to PXR, the CYP2B gene is regulated.
Likewise high sequence homology has been found for the
vitamine D receptor (VDR) that regulates CYP27, and for the
arylhydrocarbon receptor (AHR) (dioxin receptor).
28
RXR and other nuclear receptors (II)
These nuclear receptors all belong to a family of
transcription factors. Each one possess a double zinkfinger DNA-binding domain (DBD), and a larger ligand
binding domain (LBD) which is carboxy terminal.
They have been called orphan nuclear receptors as
their ligands have been found later.
