  6. 4. Interindividual variation in drug metabolism with focus on polymorphic cytochrome P450 2C9

    Author : Mia Sandberg Lundblad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cytochromes P450 (CYP) are enzymes, mainly catalysing the oxidation of xenobiotics, in order to facilitate their excretion from the body. CYP2C9 is a polymorphic enzyme, which is responsible for the metabolism of about 10 % of all known drugs, e. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cytochrome P450 pharmacogenetics : implications for anticancer and warfarin therapy

    Author : Mi-Young Lee; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : There is a pronounced interindividual variability in the drug disposition, response and toxicity. Pharmacogenetics aims at identifying genetic biomarkers that could help to increase the drug efficacy, reduce adverse drug reactions and contribute to the development of personalized medicine.
