`
`Genetic factors contribute to the phenotype of drug response. We systematically analyzed all
`available pharmacogenetic data from Medline databases (1970-2003) on the impact that
`genetic polymorphisms have on positive and adverse reactions to antidepressants and
`antipsychotics. Additionally, dose adjustments that would compensate for genetically caused
`differences in blood concentrations were calculated. To study pharmacokinetic effects, data
`for 36 antidepressants were screened. We found that for 20 of those, data on polymorphic
`CYPZD6 or CYP2C19 were found and that in 14 drugs such genetic variation would require at
`least doubling of the close in extensive metabolizers in comparison to poor metabolizers. Data
`for 38 antipsychotics were examined: for 13 of those CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 genotype was of
`relevance. To study the effects of genetic variability on pharmacodynamic pathways, we
`reviewed 80 clinical studies on polymorphisms in candidate genes, but those did not for the
`most part reveal significant associations between neurotransmitter receptor and transporter
`genotypes and therapy response or adverse drug reactions. In addition associations found in
`one study could not be replicated in other studies. For this reason, it is not yet possible to
`translate pharmacogenetic parameters fully into therapeutic recommendations. At present,
`an
`outcome of complex systems that interact at multiple levels. In spite of these limitations,
`combinations of polymorphisms in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic pathways of
`relevance might contribute to identify genotypes associated with best and worst responders
`and they may also identify susceptibility to adverse drug reactions.

`The need for predictive pharmacogenetics-based

`
`Major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, and related
`disorders are among the most important causes of
`death and disability worldwide? These disorders are
`highly prevalent, chronic or recurrent conditions with
`a substantial impact on public health. Antidepressant
`drugs are the standard of care for clinical depression;
`likewise, antipsychotics are the standard treatment for
`schizophrenia. Despite the availability of a wide range
`of different drug classes. about 30-50% of patients
`will not respond sufficiently to acute treatment.

`trials in major depressive disorder, after 6-8 weeks,
`only 35-45% of the patients treated with standard
`doses of the most commonly prescribed antidepres-

`
`Large genetic variability has been described in drug

`of the response to drug treatment. However, it is not
`yet possible to use genetic tools to identify an
`individual’s likelihood of responding to a treatment

`ing the best medication and dosage. While faster and

`may serve as an analogy of how specific therapeutic
`products are administered after being specifically
`guided by a laboratory genetic test. Similarly, specific
`clinical guidelines in psychopharmacology have to be
`developed to clarify in which situations and with
`which consequences the results of individual phar-
`macogenetic tests may be applicable for therapy.
`This review covers methods for data extraction
`
`from pharmacogenetic studies and for aggregating
`such information into concise and usable therapeutic
`recommendations. This concept is nearly established
`with respect to polymorphisms in pharmacokinetic
`pathways, but use of genetic testing of neurotrans-
`mitter transporter and receptor variants for therapeu-
`tic decisions,
`is still incipient. Rapid advances in
`molecular analytical tools will soon allow very rapid
`and inexpensive genotyping; however, pharmacoge-
`netics will only be used as a diagnostic tool in clinical

`guidelines based on genetic testing can be provided.
`
`Methods of pharmacogenetics data extraction and
`dose calculation
`
`Literature research
`
`Data on antidepressant and antipsychotic genotype-
`dependent pharmacokinetics published in Medline and
`Embase databases were searched using word combina-
`tions of ‘cytochrome’, ‘debrisoquine’, ‘sparteine’, ‘dex-
`tromethorphan’, ‘mephenytoin’, ‘polymorph*’,
`‘meta-
`bolizer’, ‘ultrarapid’, ‘antidepressant’, ‘antipsychotic’ in
`combination with 36 generic names of commonly used
`antidepressants and 38 antipsychotics. Data on ther-
`apeutic response and adverse drug reactions of anti-
`depressants and antipsychotics in relation to genetic
`parameters were retrieved from current Medline using
`search combinations ‘antidepressant’, ‘polymorphism’,
`‘antipsychotic’, ‘genetic’, ‘response’, ‘tardive dysk1ne-
`sia’, and ‘adverse drug reactions’. Studies on inherited
`susceptibility factors for depression and schizophrenia
`were not included, because the focus of this work was
`on the phenotype of drug response, not on the
`elucidation of the genetic basis of disease susceptibility.
`Data were classified according to gene polymorphisms

`“lith respect to pharmacokinetically relevant poly-
`morphisms, only data from human studies with
`healthy volunteers or patients were included. Data
`on the in Vitro biotransformation of antidepressants
`and antipsychotics have been reviewed elsewhere."’12
`Studies were restricted to those providing data on
`effects
`of genetic
`polymorphisms
`in CYPZD6,
`CYP2C19, or CYP2C9. The functional impact of other
`polymorphisms in drug-metabolizing enzymes includ-

`some other antipsychotics;‘” however,
`it
`remains
`questionable how much of the interindividual varia-
`bility in CYP1A2 activity is explained by genetic
`polymorphisms.13’15 Some data exist on higher drug
`concentrations and higher risks for tardive dyskinesia
`in schizophrenic patients who are smokers and carriers
`of CYP1A2 genotypes with reduced inducibility (C/A
`polymorphism at position 734 in intron 1 and G/A
`polymorphism at position -2964 in the 5’-flanking
`region of CYP1A2), but those results have not been
`fully replicated.“5’“’ Polymorphisms in CYPZB6 might
`be relevant for the antidepressant bupropion, but the
`differences due to genotype are small.” Polymorph-
`isms in the CYP3A enzyme family were not consid-
`ered, since CYP3A4 genetic variants have little effects
`on function or are rare in most populations.” Whether
`or not the polymorphisms in CYP3A5 and CYP3A7
`play a nredically
`expression levels are low and a psychotropic drug
`selectively metabolized by either CYP3A5 or CYP3A7,
`but not by CYP3A4, still remains to be identified.“
`Studies using CYP inhibiting substances such as
`quinidine to mimic poor metabolizer status were not
`included. Studies were classified based on whether
`
`they were conducted in patients or healthy volun-
`teers, single or multiple dosage, existence of data on
`am
`size, and available pharmacokinetic parameters. For
`dose adjustments, dose-related pharmacokinetic para-
`meters such as trough concentrations at steady state
`(Ctss), area under the concentration—time curve (AUC),
`or
`total drug clearance (Cl) were used. Data on
`metabolic ratios (MR) in urine or plasma could not
`be used since these parameters are not
`linearly
`correlated with dose.
`
`As many psychotropic drugs are metabolized to
`equally active metabolites,
`some studies provide
`data on both metabolite and parent drug, and thus the
`whole active moiety was taken into consideration. In
`Tables 2 and 3, data of all studies are shown and the
`substances measured in the respective studies are
`indicated. In Figures 2-4, dose adjustments calcu-
`lated as the weighted mean from the single studies
`were depicted for each substance and data of the
`active moiety were taken if available.

`
`When DEM is obtained, DPM and DIM can be calculated

`and (3).
`If no data on intermediate
`metabolizer are available,
`linear gene—dose effects
`were
`assumed and CIIM was estimated as 0.5
`(CIPM + CIE-M).
`For CYPZD6, gene duplications lead to the so-called
`ultrarapid metabolizer type (UM). Only few studies
`were found concerning UMs and these were mostly
`single case reports. We usually assumed a linear
`gem—do%efied.Thus,meHM
`active alleles would be correctly dosed with the EM-

`dose adjustments should be based on the active drug
`compound (active enantiomers or isomer plus de-
`methylated metabolite].
`An extremely high clearance was described for a
`few CYPZDG ultrarapid metabolizers from studies
`with nortriptyline and desipramine. For nortriptyline,
`one ultrarapid metabolizer carrying 13 active CYPZD6
`genes was included, which caused the very high
`mean of clearance in this group.‘“’123 However, the 1-
`10% carriers of a CYPZD6 gene-amplification allele
`found in Caucasian populations usually carry only
`one gene duplication and should get moderately
`higher doses as calculated above and as illustrated
`in Figures 2 and 3.
`In Figure 1, dose adjustments calculated from the
`data of Table 2 of all studies on tricyclic antidepres-
`sants and CYPZD6 polymorphisms are depicted in

`
`There are contradictory data regarding the effects
`of CYPZDG polymorphisms on metabolism of the
`tetracyclic antidepressant maprotiline: while in a
`patient group receiving monotherapy with 150 mg
`maprotiline, no differences in steady-state concen-
`trations were
`detected

`to
`the
`debriso-

`Volunteers receiving 100 mg maprotiline over 7 days,
`revealed differences similar to those detected in
`
`tricyclics.7"
`For mianserin, CYPZDG mediates enantioselec-
`tive hydroxylation of the more active S—( +] mianser-
`in. For dose adjustments,
`the sum of S—(+]—mian—
`serin and the active desmethylmianserin was taken
`(Table 2].
`For the racemic drug mirtazapine, S—(-l—]—mirtaza—
`pine clearance significantly depends from CYPZD6
`
`clearance was found?” Achiral analysis did not
