1
Q

In the 1950s, what did Succinylcholine show?

A

Discovered poor and ultraextensive metabolizers, which were heritable traits

2
Q

In the 1970s, what did Debrisoquine show?

A

Discovered poor and extensive metabolizers that had the abnormal and normal phenotypes respectively

3
Q

Poor metabolizers have (increased/decreased) parent drug concentration

A

increased

4
Q

Poor metabolizers have (increased/decreased) synthesis of CYP

A

decreased

5
Q

Carriers of one functional and defective allele is known as _______ metabolizers

A

Intermediate

6
Q

Carriers of two defective alleles is known as ________ metabolizers

A

Intermediate

7
Q

Carriers of tow functional alleles is known as __________ metabolizers

A

Extensive

8
Q

What kind of metabolizer is at higher risk for adverse effects?

A

Poor metabolizers

9
Q

What kind of metabolizer is more likely to have less of a therapeutic effect?

A

Ultra-rapid metabolizers

10
Q

Duplication of CYP___ is responsible for ultra-rapid metabolism

A

CYP2D6

11
Q

What are the variants of CYP2D6 that are made up in poor metabolism?

A

CYP2D63 thru CYP2D66

12
Q

Poor metabolizer + CYP2D6

If given codeine or tramadol, what happens?

A

Less analgesic relief from codeine or tramadol

Converts codeine to morphine + tramadol to an active metabolite

13
Q

Ultrarapid metabolizer + CYP2D6

If given codeine or tramadol, what happens?

A

Potential for much greater than average efficacy and AE

14
Q

What is the purpose of CYP2D6?

A

Metabolize 25-30% of all clinically used drugs

15
Q

What is the purpose of CYP2C19?

A

Metabolize benzos, some tricyclic antidepressants, and PPIs

16
Q

Do Tricyclic antidepressants have broad or narrow therapeutic window?

A

Narrow

17
Q

Do PPIs have broad or narrow therapeutic window?

A

Broad

18
Q

Poor metabolizers + CYP2C19

What happens if given a PPI?

A

Higher cure rates, correlates w/ higher plasma

19
Q

CYP___ metabolizes Clopidogrel to active metabolites

A

CYP2C19

20
Q

CYP2C19*2 + Clopidogrel

What happens?

A

Correlates w/ poor anti-platelet aggregating activity of Clopidogrel

21
Q

Which CYP is the most abundant and responsible for about 50% of marketed drug metabolism?

A

CYP3A

22
Q

Where is CYP3A commonly found?

A

Liver + Intestines

23
Q

Which CYP is responsible for fetal metabolism?

A

CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and CYP3A7

24
Q

What variant of CYP3A has splicing defects and are not expressed?

A

CYP3A53 and CYP3A56

25
Q

What is the purpose of CYP3A5*1?

A

Enzyme expression, just need 1 copy
