Effect of iguratimod on diclofenac metabolism by CYP2C9 in rats and human recombinant CYP2C9 yeast cells

Effects of CYP2C9*3 and CYP2C9*13 on Diclofenac Metabolism and Inhibition-based Drug-Drug Interactions.

Cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) is a polymorphic enzyme responsible for the metabolism of many important drugs, including diclofenac. CYP2C9*3 and CYP2C9*13 are the principal variant alleles found in the Chinese population. CYP2C9*3 has been reported to reduce the metabolism of diclofenac and alter the extent of drug-drug interactions (DDIs). The effects of CYP2C9*13 on diclofenac metabolism are n...

Role of CYP2C9 and its variants (CYP2C9*3 and CYP2C9*13) in the metabolism of lornoxicam in human

Role of CYP2C9 and its variants (CYP2C9*3 and CYP2C9*13) in the metabolism of lornoxicam in humans.

CYP2C9 is an important member of the cytochrome P450 enzyme superfamily with some 12 CYP2C9 alleles (*1-*12) being previously reported. Recently, we identified a new CYP2C9 allele with a Leu90Pro mutation in a Chinese poor metabolizer of lornoxicam [Si D, Guo Y, Zhang Y, Yang L, Zhou H, and Zhong D (2004) Pharmacogenetics 14:465-469]. The new allele, designated CYP2C9*13, was found to occur in ...

Polymorphic variants (CYP2C9*3 and CYP2C9*5) and the F114L active site mutation of CYP2C9: effect on atypical kinetic metabolism profiles.

CYP2C9 wild-type protein has been shown to exhibit atypical kinetic profiles of metabolism that may affect in vitro-in vivo predictions made during the drug development process. Previous work suggests a substrate-dependent effect of polymorphic variants of CYP2C9 on the rate of metabolism; however, it is hypothesized that these active site amino acid changes will affect the kinetic profile of a...

In vitro inhibition of CYP2C9-mediated warfarin 7-hydroxylation by iguratimod: possible mechanism of iguratimod-warfarin interaction.

Iguratimod is a novel disease-modifying antirheumatic drug. A blue letter (safety advisory) for drug interaction between iguratimod and warfarin was issued by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan in May 2013. Iguratimod may affect warfarin metabolism catalyzed by CYP. However, it is not clear whether iguratimod inhibits warfarin oxidation. This study was performed to investigate ...
