HUMAN GENOME
īļ30,000 genes
īļEach gene composed of sequence of
100s - 1000s of DNA
īļNucleotides those builds the DNA are:
Adenine (A)
Cytosine (C)
Guanine (G)
Thymine (T)
īļ They pair each other with specific rules:
A with T
C with G
9. Dr.RameshBhandari
HUMAN GENOME.....
īĸ Every Individual inherits two copies of most
gene, one from each parent.
īĸ Though 99 percent of nucleotides,
constituting human DNA are identical in any
two individuals, millions of variants in
nucleotides sequence still exist as the total
number of nucleotides in a DNA is so large,
approximately about 3 billion.
īĸ Variants that are found in more than one
percent of the population are defined as
âPolymorphismsâ.

CYTOCHROME ENZYMES
NOMENCLATURE
īąThe cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes
are chiefly involved in the phase I
metabolism of a large number of drugs.
īąThese enzymes are constituents of a
superfamily with 57 related (isoenzymes).
īąThe superfamily of CYP450 enzyme is
categorized into families and subfamilies
based on similarity in aminoacid
sequences.
15. Dr.RameshBhandari
īąThese are named by the root symbol
CYP (cytochrome P450), followed by a
number designating the family, e.g.
CYP2 (>40% similarity in aminoacid
sequence), a letter denoting the
subfamily, e.g. CYP2C (>55%
similarity in aminoacid sequence), and
a final number indicating the specific
isoenzyme, e.g. CYP2C19.
16. Dr.RameshBhandari
īą CYP2C19*1/*1 - Homozygous wild type
īą CYP2C19*1/*2 - Heterozygous mutant type
īą CYP2C19*2/*2 - Homozygous mutant type
īą CYP2C19*2/*3 - Heterozygous mutant type
CYP Genotype Nomenclature:
17. Dr.RameshBhandari
CYP450 DISTRIBUTION
īĸ Majority of CYPs is found in the liver, but certain
CYPs are also present in the cells of the intestine.
īĸ The mammalian CYPs are bound to the
endoplasmic reticulum, and are therefore
membrane bound.
19. Dr.RameshBhandari
PHASE I ENZYMES KNOWN TO
HAVE POLYMORPHISM
ī CYP2C9: Phenytoin, warfarin, NSAIDs etc
ī CYP2C19: Omeprazole, Diazepam etc
ī CYP2D6: >60 drugs like antidepressants.
ī CYP1A2: theophylline, clozapine etc.
20. Dr.RameshBhandari
PHASE II ENZYMES KNOWN TO HAVE
POLYMORPHISM
ī N Acetyltransferase: Isoniazid, hydralazine
ī Thiopurine S Methyl transferase: Azathioprine
ī UDP glucuronosyl transferase: Irinotecan
21. Dr.RameshBhandari
GENETIC POLYMORPHISM OF
CYP2C19
īĸ Highly polymorphic drug metabolizing enzyme.
īĸ 30 variant alleles of CYP2C19 reported.
īĸ CYP2C19*2 & *3 is the phenotype for poor
metabolizer.
īĸ Mainly found in asians 29-35% and 5-9% respectively.
īĸ Omeprazole results in higher plasma concentrations,
hence greater efficacy in lowering gastric pH than
extensive metabolizer.
īĸ CYP2C19*17 type results in ultra metabolizing
capacity.
īĸ This results in lack of efficacy of clopidogrel.
(clopidogrel activated by CYP2C19).
22. Dr.RameshBhandari
GENETIC POLYMORPHISM OF
CYP2D6
īĸ It is a large isozyme family that affects
metabolism of many drugs. It is highly
polymorphic.
īĸ >70 allelic variants have been reported.
īĸ Antidepressants, antiarrhythmics etc are
metabolized by CYP2D6.
īĸ 0-19% African and 1% Asian have poor
metabolizer phenotype of CYP2D6 resulting
in increased plasma concentration.
23. Dr.RameshBhandari
īĸ Genetic polymorphism of CYP2D6 was first
investigated with debrisoquine which results in
exaggerated hypotensive response.
īĸ If tricyclic antidepressants are administered in
PM phenotype then increase in plasma
concentration results CNS Depression.
īĸ If metabolism is required for a drug to have
activity, the patient with PM phenotype is more
likely to have therapeutic failure.(Tamoxifen)
īĸ UM phenotyping (Amitryptyline) therapeutic
failure.
24. Dr.RameshBhandari
īĸ Codeine is converted to morphine by a
CYP2D6- O- demethylation reaction to
provide analgesic effects. But if
administered with UM phenotype patient
morphine toxicity can occur.
25. Dr.RameshBhandari
GENETIC POLYMORPHISM OF
CYP2C9
īĸ 30 different allelic variants.
īĸ CYP2C9*2 & *3 most common.
īĸ Both of these variant result in reduced activity.
īĸ CYP2C9 is a major contributor of warfarin.
īĸ When the patient has one of those 2 polymorphism the
dose of warfarin should be reduced.
īĸ It the dose is not reduced then there is an increase risk of
bleeding.
īĸ NSAIDs, ARBs also affected by polymorphism of
CYP2C19 but due to high therapeutic indices wont show
any effect. (except phenytoin)
26. Dr.RameshBhandari
GENETIC POLYMORPHISM OF
CYP1A2
īĸ Responsible for metabolism of 5% drugs (Fluvoxamine,
clozapine, olanzapine and theophylline.
īĸ Approx. 15% of Japanese, 5% of the Chinese, and 5% of
the Australian populations are classified as poor
metabolizer.
īĸ Most frequent variant CYP1A2*1F allele â results in an
increased expression. Hence Enhanced level of enzyme
level clears the drug faster. Eg: Failures for Clozapine in
smokers.
īĸ CYP1A2*1C â Results in decreased expression and
seen in 25% of the Asian Populations.
27. Dr.RameshBhandari
GENETIC POLYMORPHISM OF
CYP3A4
īĸ Most abundantly found in the liver.
īĸ Metabolize 50% of the clinically used drugs.
īĸ 20 allelic variants known.
īĸ Limited data to show any clinical significance
for CYP3A4 substrate.
īĸ CYP3A4*1B â may influence gene expression.
īĸ CYP3A4*2 â decreased clearance of CCB
nifedipine.
28. Dr.RameshBhandari
GENETIC POLYMORPHISM OF
N-ACETYLTRANSFERASE
īĸ NAT1 and NAT2 genes â code for NAT
activity.
īĸ Both genes are highly polymorphic but NAT2
gene is related to fast and slow acetylators.
īĸ Several NAT2 alleles *5,*6,*7,*10,*14 & *17
are either null genes or encode of defective
enzymes results in slow acetylator phenotype.
īĸ Slow acetylators of isoniazid exhibit an
increased blood levels of the drug resulting
increase incidence of neurotoxicity.
30. Dr.RameshBhandari
DRUG TRANSPORTER
īĸTransporters are proteins that carry
either endogenous compounds or
xenobiotics across biological
membranes.
īĸTransporter can be either efflux or
influx proteins.
īĸGenetic variation such as SNPs of the
transporters can cause differences in
the efflux or influx of drugs.
31. Dr.RameshBhandari
īĸThere are 2 superfamilies of transport
proteins that have important effects on
the absorption, distribution and
excretion of drugs:
A.ATP Binding Cassette (ABC)
transporters
B. Solute carrier transporters.
32. Dr.RameshBhandari
ABC TRANSPORTERS
īĸ Present in cellular and intracellular membranes
and responsible for either importing or removing
the substances from cells and tissues.
īĸ Only the following three gene families are important
for drug transport and multiple drug resistance in
tumor cells:
1. ABCB1 gene, encoding MDR1 (P-
Glycoprotein)
2. ABCC family (ABCC1 through ABCC6) or
multidrug resistance proteins (MRP)
3. ABCG2 (breast cancer resistance protein)
33. Dr.RameshBhandari
1. MDR1 (P-GLYCOPROTEIN)
īĸThe MDR1 or ABCB1 gene code for
the efflux protein P-glycoprotein that is
frequently associated with drug
resistance to antineoplastic agents.
īĸAt lease 66 SNPs in ABCB1 gene
reported.
īĸAmong them 3 most studied SNPs
include 2 synonymous and 1 non
synonymous variants.
34. Dr.RameshBhandari
īĸThe synonymous variants results in
decreased expression of PGP due to
mRNA expression, unstable mRNA or
alteration in protein folding.
īĸEffects of these SNPs have been studied
with digoxin and docetaxel which shows
inconsistent with increased blood levels or
no change compared with wild type gene.
35. Dr.RameshBhandari
2. ABCC TRANSPORTER FAMILY
īĸ These are also known as multidrug resistance
associated proteins (MRPs).
īĸ Found in brain, liver, kidney, and intestine.
īĸ MRP1(ABCC1), MRP2(ABCC2), and
MRP3(ABCC3) are commonly known to effect the
drug disposition.
īĸ These transporters can be expressed in cancer cells
which confers resistance to the chemotherapeutic
agent tamoxifen.
īĸ Polymorphism is rare.
36. Dr.RameshBhandari
3. ABCG2 TRANSPORTER
īĸ ABCG2 is also known as Breast cancer resistance
protein (BCRP), Placenta specific ABC transporter
(ABCP), and mitoxantrone resistance protein
(MXR).
īĸ It is important in limiting bioavailability of
certain drugs, concentrating drugs in breast milk
and protecting fetus from drugs in maternal
circulation.
īĸ It is highly expressed in the GIT, liver, placenta
and influences the absorption and distribution of a
wide variety of drugs and organic anions.
37. Dr.RameshBhandari
SOLUTE CARRIER PROTEINS
īĸ Transport ions and organic substances across
biological membranes.
īĸ These includes organic cation transporter (OCT)
organic anion transporter protein (OATP).
īĸ Located througout the body.
īĸ OATP1B1 (coded by SLCO1B1 gene) is a hepatic
influx transporter with at least 40 SNP reported
that result in either altered expression or activity of
OATP1B1.
īĸ Among them one SNP (c.521T>C) has been
associated with an increased risk of simvastatin
induced myopathy due to lower plasma clearance.
39. Dr.RameshBhandari
DRUG TARGETS
īĸDrug targets include receptors,
enzymes, ion channels and
intracellular signalling proteins.
īĸGenetic polymorphisms occur
commonly for drug target proteins
including receptors, enzymes, ion
channels and intracellular signalling
proteins.
40. Dr.RameshBhandari
RECEPTOR GENOTYPES: DRUG
RESPONSE
īĸβ1 receptor: located in heart and kidney.
īĸ2 common non synonymous SNPs in the β1
receptor gene are located at codons 49
(Ser>Gly) and 389 (Arg>Gly).
īĸHypertensive patients who were homozygous
for both Ser49 and Arg389 had greater
reduction in diastolic BP with metoprolol
monotherapy compared with carriers of the
Gly49 and/or Gly389 alleles.
41. Dr.RameshBhandari
ENZYME GENES: DRUG
RESPONSE
īĸVitamin K epoxide reductase (VKOR) is
an typical example of genetic variation to
drug response.
īĸWarfarin exerts its anticoagulation effects
by inhibiting VKOR, thus preventing
carboxylation of clotting factors II, VII, IX
and X.
īĸVKORC1 gene encodes for VKOR
enzyme.
42. Dr.RameshBhandari
īĸPolymorphism in the VKORC1 coding
region cause rare case of warfarin
resistance.
īĸVKORC1*2,*3 & *4.
īĸCarriers of these polymorphism either
require high dose of warfarin or fail to
respond to any dose of warfarin.
