    Study Notes

    Variability in Response to Medicines

    • Ethnic differences in drug response are significant, particularly with regards to CYP1A2 activity.

    CYP1A2 Importance and Substrates

    • CYP1A2 is an important drug metabolizing enzyme, responsible for metabolizing theophylline and olanzapine.
    • It plays a role in detoxification and activation of carcinogens.
    • CYP1A2 substrates, inducers, and inhibitors can alter intrinsic clearance, which is crucial for drugs with low hepatic extraction ratio.

    Effect of Diet and Lifestyle on CYP1A2 Activity

    • CYP1A2 activity is lower in South Asians.
    • Smoking induces CYP1A2 activity, while the oral contraceptive pill inhibits it.

    Ethnic Differences in CYP1A2

    • South Asians have significantly lower CYP1A2 activity than Europeans.
    • Oral contraceptive use inhibits CYP1A2 activity, while smoking induces it.
    • There are ethnic differences in CYP1A2 inducers.

    Warfarin - Variability in INR

    • Warfarin has a very narrow safety margin, and its response is highly variable between individuals.
    • Determinants of warfarin response include age, organ function, genetic influences, dietary influences, concomitant medicines, and other factors.

    Warfarin Drug Interactions

    • Warfarin drug interactions are clinically significant due to its narrow therapeutic range and low extraction ratio in the liver.
    • Hepatic metabolism by CYP2C9 is important for warfarin.
    • Warfarin drug interactions can affect pharmacokinetics of warfarin, vitamin K, and blood clotting mechanisms.

    Studentamine (New Anticoagulant)

    • Studentamine is predominantly metabolized in the liver, with 10% renally cleared.
    • It has a low extraction ratio, making hepatic clearance mainly determined by fraction unbound.
    • Genetic mutation is not significant, as only 7% of CYP2D6 is metabolized.
    • Grapefruit and pomelo juice can affect Studentamine metabolism through CYP3A4 inhibition.
    • Ethnic differences may not be significant due to low CYP1A2 involvement.
    • Age may affect Studentamine metabolism, as it is an anticoagulant.
