The human cytochrome P450 (CYP) metabolizes more than 100 structurally diverse exogenous and endogenous molecules. The CYP3A5 is a major P450 enzyme in the liver and represents 50% of the total hepatic CYP3A content in people expressing CYP3A5. The single nucleotide polymorphisms in CYP3A5*3 and CYP3A5*6 that resulted in the absence of CYP3A5 from tissues were noted in some people. Polymorphisms of potential relevance to leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) have been described for various CYP. The bone marrow and/or peripheral blood from 188 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, 101 chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), 40 MDS, and 270 normal controls were analyzed by a PCR-RFLP assay to evaluate the association of the CYP3A5 polymorphisms with myeloid leukemia. Our data showed that 15/188 (8%), 8/101 (7.9%), and 3/40 (7.5%) of the patients (i.e., 188 AML, 101 CML, 40 MDS) were CYP3A5*1/*1; 88/188 (46.8%), 47/101 (46.5%), and 20/40 (50%) were CYP3A5*1/*3; and 85/188 (45.2%), 46/101 (45.5%), and 17/40 (42.5%) carried the CYP3A5*3/*3 genotype, respectively. CYP3A5*6 was not found in any of the patients' specimens. Similar frequencies of CYP3A5*3 were observed in the leukemic patients and normal controls. Consequently, the finding suggests that the CYP3A5 polymorphism was not associated with the risk of myeloid leukemia.

Imatinib mesylate, licensed to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia and gastrointestinal stromal tumors, is metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A and undergoes little renal excretion, but its biliary excretion by humans is uncharacterized. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to quantitate imatinib and its metabolite CGP 74588 in the bile of two patients with biliary stents; the ratio of imatinib:CGP 74588 in each was approximately 9:1. In the first patient, who was receiving long-term therapy with imatinib 400 mg/day and had normal liver function tests, biliary imatinib accounted for 17.7% of the daily dose and CGP 74588 accounted for 2.1%. In the second patient, who had elevated liver function tests and was studied after his first dose of imatinib 300 mg, biliary imatinib accounted for only 1.8% of the daily dose and CGP 74588 accounted for 0.2%. These data show both the qualitative similarities and the quantitative variability in biliary excretion of imatinib and its principal metabolite.

Imatinib is a potent and selective inhibitor of the protein tyrosine kinase Bcr-Abl, platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRalpha and PDGFRbeta) and KIT. Imatinib is approved for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) and gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST), which have dysregulated activity of an imatinib-sensitive kinase as the underlying pathogenetic feature. Pharmacokinetic studies of imatinib in healthy volunteers and patients with CML, GIST and other cancers show that orally administered imatinib is well absorbed, and has an absolute bioavailability of 98% irrespective of oral dosage form (solution, capsule, tablet) or dosage strength (100 mg, 400 mg). Food has no relevant impact on the rate or extent of bioavailability. The terminal elimination half-life is approximately 18 hours. Imatinib plasma concentrations predictably increase by 2- to 3-fold when reaching steady state with 400mg once-daily administration, to 2.6 +/- 0.8 microg/mL at peak and 1.2 +/- 0.8 microg/mL at trough, exceeding the 0.5 microg/mL (1 micromol/L) concentrations needed for tyrosine kinase inhibition in vitro and leading to normalisation of haematological parameters in the large majority of patients with CML irrespective of baseline white blood cell count. Imatinib is approximately 95% bound to human plasma proteins, mainly albumin and alpha1-acid glycoprotein. The drug is eliminated predominantly via the bile in the form of metabolites, one of which (CGP 74588) shows comparable pharmacological activity to the parent drug. The faecal to urinary excretion ratio is approximately 5:1. Imatinib is metabolised mainly by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 or CYP3A5 and can competitively inhibit the metabolism of drugs that are CYP3A4 or CYP3A5 substrates. Interactions may occur between imatinib and inhibitors or inducers of these enzymes, leading to changes in the plasma concentration of imatinib as well as coadministered drugs. Hepatic and renal dysfunction, and the presence of liver metastases, may result in more variable and increased exposure to the drug, although typically not necessitating dosage adjustment. Age (range 18-70 years), race, sex and bodyweight do not appreciably impact the pharmacokinetics of imatinib.

Imatinib mesylate, licensed to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia and gastrointestinal stromal tumors, is metabolized by means of cytochrome P450 3A and excreted primarily in the bile. Although the bioavailability of imatinib mesylate is more than 97%, the exact gastrointestinal site of its absorption is unknown. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to quantitate imatinib and its metabolite CGP74588 in the plasma and jejunostomy output of a patient with newly diagnosed chronic myelogenous leukemia. She had previously lost most of her small bowel and all of her colon as a result of mesenteric artery thrombosis and radiation-induced colitis and/or proctitis. Imatinib pharmacokinetics in plasma indicated that approximately 20% of the patient's 400-mg dose was absorbed. The jejunostomy output contained 338 mg of imatinib, which was consistent with 320 mg of a nonabsorbed dose plus approximately 23% of the absorbed dose being excreted unchanged in the bile. These data indicate the importance of considering gastrointestinal anatomic abnormalities or disease states when oral imatinib is dosed.

Imatinib is a highly selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and is used for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) and gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) in humans. The aim of this study is to determine the in vitro and in vivo pharmacokinetics of imatinib in dogs and which cytochrome P450 (CYPs) contribute to its metabolism. Imatinib was administered orally or intravenously to dogs and the time of the peak concentration (T(max)) of imatinib was 4-9 h. The mean half-life was 622 +/- 368 min, and the AUC was 1256 +/- 809 microM * min after oral administration. The range of C0 of intravenously injected dogs was 12-24 microM. The half-life and AUC after intravenous injection were 206 +/- 112 min and 1026 +/- 371 microM * min, respectively. Recombinant system of dog CYP3A12 and CYP2C21 showed that CYP3A12 contributed to the metabolism of imatinib. The inhibition of CYP3A-dependent activity using a rat anti-CYP3A antibody or ketoconazole revealed that CYP3A12 plays a major role in the metabolism of imatinib in dog liver microsomes.

The genetic polymorphisms of biotransformation phase I enzymes, cytochrome P450 (CYP1A1 and CYP2D6), and phase II enzymes, glutathione S-transferase (GSTM1 and GSTT1), were analyzed in 204 healthy persons and 348 leukemia patients, who suffered from also acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute nonlymphoblastic leukemia (ANLL) chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), from the Han ethnic group in Changsha City of Hunan Province of China. Our results showed that the frequencies of polymorphisms of CYP1A1, CYP2D6 and GSTT1 among the groups including acute lymphoblastic leukemia, ANLL, chronic myelogenous leukemia and healthy control have no significant differences. The variation of GSTM1-null genotype alone correlated with the development of ANLL. The combined genotypes of GSTM1-null with GSTT1-null, or GSTM1-null with CYP1A1 heterozygous mutant, or GSTM1-null with CYP1A1 heterozygous mutant and CYP2D6 heterozygous mutant, or GSTM1-null with CYP1A1 heterozygous mutant, CYP2D6 heterozygous mutant and GSTT1-null were found in individuals with high risk of ANLL. All these findings suggest that GSTM1-null genotype alone or in coordination with the relevant genotypes of other metabolic enzymes might be susceptibility factors in the etiology of ANLL.

Nilotinib is a second-generation, oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor that provides specific inhibition of KIT, platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRs) alpha and beta, as well as breakpoint cluster region Abelson. Studies in healthy volunteers and patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia or gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) have shown that the pharmacokinetics (PK) of nilotinib are similar to those of imatinib and well suited to twice-daily administration of a 400-mg dose. These studies show that the maximum plasma concentration of nilotinib is reached 3 to 4 hours after oral administration, with an elimination half-life of 17 hours through metabolism via oxidation and hydroxylation. Bioavailability of nilotinib is increased if administered with a high-fat meal or with cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitors, but consumption of high-fat meals to allow lower doses of nilotinib is not recommended. Proton pump inhibitors have not been shown to have a clinically significant impact on nilotinib PK. Several studies have demonstrated preliminary evidence that nilotinib provides clinical benefit and can be safely administered to imatinib-resistant GIST patients.

Imatinib mesylate is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used as first-line treatment in Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML) and metastatic or unresectable gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) for imatinib has been suggested to improve efficacy, assess compliance, and evaluate drug-drug interactions. Imatinib has proven efficacy in improving treatment response and survival in patients with Ph+ CML and GIST. Several analytical methods are available to quantify total plasma imatinib concentrations. A good relationship exists between total imatinib plasma concentrations and pharmacologic response. Clinical evaluation of pharmacologic response to imatinib alone may be insufficient given the long duration of therapy before clinical response in patients with Ph+ CML and GIST. Thus, the authors have used a previously published 9-step decision-making algorithm to evaluate the utility of TDM for imatinib. The suggested trough concentrations for improved complete cytogenetic or major molecular response in patients with Ph+ CML and improved time to progression for patients with GIST are >1000 and >1100 ng/mL, respectively. Imatinib exhibits interindividual pharmacokinetic variability. Increased apparent clearance of imatinib has been observed in chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia and increased body weight. Decreased apparent clearance has been observed in renal impairment and patients on concomitant medications with potent inhibition of cytochrome P450 3A4. Duration of therapy in patients with Ph+ CML and GIST is lifelong. Based on the available evidence, TDM for imatinib may provide additional information on efficacy, compliance, and safety than clinical evaluation alone. Patients with suboptimal response to treatment, treatment failure, rare adverse events, drug interactions, or suspected nonadherence will attain the greatest benefit from TDM.

In the spite of the impressive results achieved with imatinib in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients, differences in patient's response are observed, which may be explained by interindividual genetic variability. It is known that cytochrome P450 enzymes play a major role in the metabolism of imatinib. The present study aimed to understand the functional impact of CYP2B6 15631G>T polymorphism on the response of imatinib in CML patients and its relation to CML susceptibility. We have genotyped CYP2B6 G15631T in 48 CML patients and 64 controls by PCR-RFLP. CYP2B6 15631G>T was not found to be a risk factor for CML (OR 95 % CI, 1.12, 0.6-2, p > 0.05). Hematologic response loss was higher in patients with 15631GG/TT genotype when compared with 15631GT (36.8 vs. 13.8 %; X (2) = 3.542, p = 0.063). Complete cytogenetic response was higher in 15631GG/GT genotype groups when compared with 15631TT (X (2) = 3.298, p = 0.024). Primary cytogenetic resistance was higher in patients carrying 15631GG/TT genotype when compared with 15631GT carriers (52.6 vs. 17.2 %; X (2) = 6.692, p = 0.010). Furthermore, side effects were more common for patients carrying 15631GG genotypes when compared with GT/TT carriers (36 vs. 13.8 %; X (2) = 8.3, p = 0.004). In light of our results, identification of 15631G>T polymorphism in CML patients might be helpful to predict therapeutic response to imatinib.

In the present study, we investigated the associations of polymorphisms in cytochrome P450 gene (CYP1A1), glutathione S-transferase genes (GSTM1 and GSTT1) with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). A total of 126 patients with CML and 172 healthy volunteers were genotyped, and the DNA was isolated from their blood samples. The polymorphisms were assessed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) restriction fragment length polymorphism-based methods and multiplex PCR. Logistic regression analyses showed significant risk of CML associated with CYP1A1 Val allele [odds ratio (OR) 3.3, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 1.96-5.53], (p < 0.0001) while CYP1A1 Val/Val homozygotes were observed only in the CML patients. There was statistically significant difference in the frequency of GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes. The GSTT1-null genotype was slightly higher in 27% of CML cases and 16.7% of controls (OR 1.98, 95% CI 1.12-3.5) (p < 0.020). The GSTM1 null was higher in 42.8% of CML cases and 22.7% of controls (OR 2.55, 95% CI 1.54-4.22) (p < 0.00024). The individuals carrying CYP1A1 Ile/Val (AG) and GSTM1 null genotype have 9.9 times higher risk to be CML than those carrying CYP1A1 Ile/Ile (AA) and GSTM1 present genotype (OR 9.9, 95% CI 2.7-36.3) (p < 0.0001). This suggests that the association of the GSTM1 null genotype, either alone or in combination with GSTT1 null, with CYP1AI heterozygous leads to the CML risk.
