Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacogenetics of Apixaban

Abstract: Apixaban is oral anticoagulant, it is widely used in prevention of stroke in non-valvular atrial fibrillation and treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Its main mechanism of action is through reversible inhibition of factor Xa. It specifically binds and inhibits both free and bound factor Xa which ultimately results in reduction in the levels of thrombin formation. Apixaban is mainly metabolized by CYP3A4 with minor contributions from CYP1A2, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP2J2 isoenzymes. S… Show more

“…By inhibiting factor Xa, apixaban reduces the formation of thrombin and the development of blood clots. It has no direct effect on platelet aggregation, but indirectly inhibits thrombin-induced platelet aggregation [ 64 ].…”

“…It should be noted that the frequency of CYP3A5 gene SNVs’ carriership varies significantly depending on patients’ ethnicity. For example, most Europeans are not expressors, while many people of African descent are CYP3A5 expressors [ 64 , 75 ]. Higher concentrations of the active component of drugs, metabolized with participation of isoenzyme CYP3A5, in blood plasma are higher in non-expressors of CYP3A5 compared with expressors [ 76 ].…”
