Metoprolol ?-hydroxylation is a poor probe for debrizoquine oxidation (CYP2D6) polymorphism in Jordanians

Abstract: The frequency distribution of the 8-h urinary ratio of log metoprolol/alpha-hydroxymetoprolol was assessed in 65 healthy, unrelated Jordanian volunteers. There was no apparent bimodality in the frequency distribution of this ratio among the subjects studied. The frequency of the poor metabolizer phenotype of metoprolol alpha-hydroxylation was 1.5% (one subject). There was a significant correlation (r = 0.61, P < 0.05, n = 39) between the log metoprolol/alpha-hydroxymetoprolol and the log debrisoquine/4-hydroxy… Show more

“…Sedation, rapid S ‐mephenytoin metabolism, and questionable urinary stability of individual enantiomers have limited the utility of mephenytoin as a CYP2C19 probe 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 . Several studies have suggested that metoprolol α‐hydroxylation may not cosegregate with the metabolism of other CYP2D6 probes in some nonwhite populations, questioning its value as a CYP2D6 probe 32 , 33 , 34 . Debrisoquin, a valid CYP2D6 probe, is not approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration and, as a result, has limited availability in the United States.…”

“…Failure to take account of variability in urine pH may explain some of the discrepancies observed when using MRs to compare enzyme activity across racial groups. For example, although strong correlations have been observed between enzyme activity assessed using different CYP2D6 probes in Caucasians 10,19–25 and Orientals, 24,26 consistency between the probes has been less in black Africans 22,24,25,27–31 and Arabs 32,33 . This may be explained partly by genetic variants of CYP2D6 that influence the relative docking of substrates at the active enzyme site 25 and that occur at different frequencies in different racial groups 24,34–39 .…”

“…This dissociation between the log DMlDRP and log D/4-0H-D metabolic ratios observed in this group of Jordanian subjects has not been reported in other ethnic groups. The dissociation between log D/4-0H-D and log metoprolol/alpha-hydroxymetoprolol reported among Jordanians (22), Zambians (23) and Nigerians (24) has suggested that CYP2D6 might not be the only cytochrome P450 isoenzyme involved in the alpha-hydroxylation of metoprolol. Likewise, the dissociation of the log DMlDRP and log D/4-0H-D metabolic ratios reported in this study might also suggest that CYP2D6 is not the only isoenzyme involved in both the O-demethylation of dextromethorphan and the 4-hydroxylation of debrisoquine.…”
