25
Q

What is the enzyme that metabolizes Codeine?

26
Q

What is the relationship between CYP2C19 and omeprazole/lansoprazole?

A

Poor metabolizers have higher cure rates–do not clear drugs as fast

27
Q

What is the drug that CYP2C9 metabolizes?

28
Q

What enzyme clears warfarin? What does it turn it into?

A

CYP2C9

Hydroxywarfarin

29
Q

What is the MOA of warfarin?

A

inhibits Vitamin K epoxidase (VKORC1)

30
Q

What is the relationship between CYP2C9 and warfarin?

A

Slow metabolizers need a lower dose, o/w risk of bleeding

31
Q

What are the two enzymes that can change the efficacy of warfarin? How does each do this?

A

CYP2C9 = pharmacokinetics

VKORC1 = pharmacodynamics

32
Q

What is the least active polymorphisms of VKORC1?

A

VKOR1AA has the lowest activity

33
Q

What is the use of dasatinib? Target?

A

CML– phili chromosome

34
Q

What is the use or imatinib? Target?

A

CML – phili chromosome

35

A

HER2

Breast Ca

37
Q

What is the use of cetuxiamb? Target?

A

EGFR

Metastatic colorectal CA

38
Q

What are the enzymes that metabolize 5FU?

A

DPD (dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase)

TYMS (thymidylate synthetase)

39
Q

What is the enzyme that metabolizes 6MP?

A

TPMT (thiopurine methyltransferase)

40
Q

What is the adverse effect of not screening for DPD or TYMS prior to giving 5FU? MOA?

A

Severe myelosuppression

Causes DNA damage by decreasing dTTP levels

41

A

Inactivates it

Changes pharmacokinetics

44
Q

What is the relationship between 5-FU and TYMS? How can polymorphisms affect this?

A

TYMS is what 5FU inhibits

Changes pharmacodynamics of 5FU

45
Q

What is the relationship between 6-MP and TPMT? Changes in TMPT cause what?

A

TMPT inactivates 6-MP

Pharmacokinetics change

49
Q

What are the three different genotypes of SLCO1B1?

A 
T/T = normal
T/C = Decreased transport
C/C = low transport
50
Q

Polymorphisms in what part of the estrogen receptor leads to varying effects? What effects are seen?

A

Between the 1st and 2nd exons of the ER-alpha gene

This causes a greater increase in HDL level following HRT

51
Q

What is the gene that changes albuterol use? What does this change?

A

ADRB2

Will decrease response to albuterol due to changes in responsiveness of B2 receptor

52
Q

Passive smoking has what effect on ADRB2?

A

Appears to augment the down regulate the effect of metabolism in the weak metabolizers

53
Q

What are the two common genetic changes in the coagulation cascade that can increase thromboembolisms?

A

Factor V and prothrombin

54
Q

What allele causes a hypersensitivity reaction against abacavir? Does this affect the pharmacokinetics/dynamics?

A

HLA-B 57:01

No effect

55
Q

Pts with the HLA-B 57:01 polymorphism should not receive what drug? Why?

A

Abacavir

Hypersensitivity–steven johnson syndrome

56
Q

Absence of certain alleles in what gene correlate with better therapeutic success for alzheimer’s disease with tacrine?

57
Q

Absence of certain APOE alleles improves what part of Alzheimers treatment?

A

Better success with Tacrine

58
Q

What is the common treatment for HBC and HBV? What is the genome that has a highly predictive response to treatment?

A

IFN-alpha

IL-28

59
