          Abstract

          Aim

          Human cytochrome P450 3A4 is the most abundant isoform of P450 enzyme in the liver. It plays an important role in the metabolism of wide variety of xenobiotic and endogenous substrates. So far, there are few reports about the functional characterization of CYP3A4 variants in terms of specific substrates. The aim of this study was to systematically investigate the genetic polymorphisms of 23 CYP3A4 alleles and evaluate their catalytic activities on the metabolism of lidocaine in vitro.

          Methods and results

          The wild-type and 22 CYP3A4 variants were expressed in Spodoptera frugiperda 21 insect cells. Then the insect microsomes were incubated with the CYP3A4-specific substrate lidocaine. Reactions were performed with 50–3,000 µM for 60 min at 37°C. Lidocaine and its metabolite monoethylglycinexylidide were analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry system. Of the 23 CYP3A4 allelic variants tested, 2 variants ( CYP3A4*17 and CYP3A4*30) had no detectable enzyme activity; and 5 variants ( CYP3A4*2, CYP3A4*5, CYP3A4*9, CYP3A4*16 and CYP3A4*24) showed significantly decreased intrinsic clearance values compared with wild-type CYP3A4*1.

          Conclusion

          As the first study of all these CYP3A4 alleles for lidocaine metabolism, our results in vitro assessment may provide novel insights into the allele-specific and substrate-specific activity of CYP3A4 and may also offer a reference to the personalized treatment of lidocaine in a clinical setting.

          Functional pharmacogenetics/genomics of human cytochromes P450 involved in drug biotransformation.

          We investigated the elimination routes for the 200 drugs that are sold most often by prescription count in the United States. The majority (78%) of the hepatically cleared drugs were found to be subject to oxidative metabolism via cytochromes P450 of the families 1, 2 and 3, with major contributions from CYP3A4/5 (37% of drugs) followed by CYP2C9 (17%), CYP2D6 (15%), CYP2C19 (10%), CYP1A2 (9%), CYP2C8 (6%), and CYP2B6 (4%). Clinically well-established polymorphic CYPs (i.e., CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6) were involved in the metabolism of approximately half of those drugs, including (in particular) NSAIDs metabolized mainly by CYP2C9, proton-pump inhibitors metabolized by CYP2C19, and beta blockers and several antipsychotics and antidepressants metabolized by CYP2D6. In this review, we provide an up-to-date summary of the functional polymorphisms and aspects of the functional genomics of the major human drug-metabolizing cytochrome P450s, as well as their clinical significance.

            Identification of variants of CYP3A4 and characterization of their abilities to metabolize testosterone and chlorpyrifos.

            CYP3A4 is the most abundant isoform of cytochrome P450 (CYP) in adult human liver. It metabolizes numerous clinically, physiologically, and toxicologically important compounds. The expression of CYP3A4 varies 40-fold in individual human livers, and metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates varies at least 10-fold in vivo. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CYP3A4 were identified by direct sequencing of genomic DNA in 72 individuals from three different ethnic groups, including Caucasians, Blacks (African-Americans and African pygmies), and Asians. A total of 28 SNPs were identified, including five which produced coding changes M445T (CYP3A4*3), R162Q (CYP3A4*15), F189S (CYP3A4*17), L293P (CYP3A4*18), and P467S (CYP3A4*19). The latter four represent new alleic variants. Racial variability was observed for the frequency of individual SNPs. CYP3A R162Q was identified only in Black populations with an allelic frequency of 4%. CYP3A4 F189S and CYP3A4 M445T were identified in Caucasians with allelic frequencies 2% and 4%, respectively. L293P and P467S were only observed in Asians at allelic frequencies of 2%. The cDNAs for the F189S, L293P, M445T, and P467S mutant alleles were constructed by site-directed mutagenesis and expressed in an Escherichia coli expression system. Testosterone and the insecticide chlorpyrifos were used to assess the catalytic activities of the most common CYP3A4 allele (CYP3A4*1) and its allelic variants. CYP3A4 F189S exhibited lower turnover numbers for testosterone and chlorpyrifos, while CYP3A4 L293P had higher turnover numbers for both substrates. The turnover numbers of the CYP3A4 M445T and P467S alleles to metabolize these compounds were not significantly different from those of wild-type CYP3A4.
