Pharmaco Flashcards
Pro drug
requires metabolism to become active for therapeutic affect
Example or prodrugs
Codeine, Clopidogrel
Active drug
already active for therapeutic effect; inactivated by metabolism
example of active drug
warafin
codeine gene
CYP2D6
Clopidogrel gene
CYP2C19
Wafarin gene
CYP2C9
Genes that are phase 1 metabolism (ox-redox rxn)
CYP genes
Somatic tumor specific variants
KRAS, BCR/ABL, EGFR, cKIT, BRAF, ALK
CYP450 catalyze
redox rxns
CYP450 are
predominately in liver
more than 90% of all common drugs are metabolized by enzymes encoded by 6 CYP450 Genes:
CYP1A1, CY1A2, CYP2C9, CYC2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4
Types of variants in pharm
SNPs, indels, CNVs
*1
no variant detected
Diplotype CYP2C191/17
Rapid metabolizer, 1 increased function, one normal copy
recommendations for high metabolizer of clopidogrel
no recommendation, use standard dose
CYP2C19
Located on 10q23.33
over 39 alleles
Clopidogrel medication
prevents platelet aggregation and inhibit blood clots
reduce risk of heart attack and stroke
recommendation for intermediate or poor metabolizers in CYP2C19 + Clopidogrel
recommend alternative anti-platelet therapy
