10-hydroxylation of nortriptyline in white persons with 0, 1, 2, 3, and 13 functional CYP2D6 genes*

Abstract: The results of this study show the quantitative importance of the CYP2D6 genotype, especially the presence of multiple functional CYP2D6 genes for the pharmacokinetics of nortriptyline and 10-hydroxynortriptyline. Genotyping of subjects with multiple copies of functional genes may be of great value for differentiating ultrarapid metabolizers from patients who do not comply with the prescription and for assuring adequate drug choice and dosage for these patients.

“…On the contrary, multiple copies of *2 gene result in increased activity of CYP2D6 and clearance of nortriptyline. The apparent oral clearances of nortriptyline were increased in the subjects with two or three functional CYP2D6 genes (Dalén et al, 1998). However, those with *2 allele did not result in increased or decreased activity of CYP2D6 at least in our data.…”

“…CYP2D6 gene is highly polymorphic; hitherto more than one hundred allelic variants were identified, a number of [3,4]. Due to the wide range of CYP2D6 enzyme activity within the population, the patients can be divided into four metabolizer groups: poor (PM), intermediate (IM), extensive (EM) and ultra-rapid metabolizers (UM) [5].…”

“…Indeed, gender was a stronger predictor of nortriptyline concentration than was CYP2D6 genotype. Dalen et al (1998) gave 21 healthy Caucasian subjects, ages 18 to 48, single doses of nortriptyline (other medications unspecified) and measured pharmacokinetics over the next 168 hours. They found significant corrrelations between CYP2D6 genotype and nortriptyline clearance.…”

“…However, there are numerous CYP2D6 mutations that affect drug metabolism, and genotyping using conventional methods such as restriction isotyping is labor intensive involving multiple polymerase chain reactions, restriction enzyme digestions, and separations of digested DNA fragments by gel electrophoresis (Sachse et al 1997). Further, all prior studies of CYP2D6 genotype and nortriptyline levels have utilized single dose pharmacokinetic designs or clinical samples of predominantly younger patients taking few concurrent medications (Dahl et al 1996;Dalen et al 1998;Yue et al 1998;Morita et al 2000). Results from these prior studies may not be applicable to geriatric patients prescribed nortriptyline in clinical settings where large numbers of concurrent medications are also utilized that may alter debrisoquine hydroxylase activity.…”
