Background: Omeprazole is mainly metabolized in the liver by CYP2C19, a genetically determined enzyme, whereas rabeprazole reduced non‐enzymatically and partially CYP2C19. The therapeutic effects of are therefore assumed to be less affected an individual’s CYP2C19 status. Aim: To investigate acid inhibitory plasma levels omeprazole with reference different genotypes. Methods: Fifteen healthy volunteers took daily dose 20 mg or for 8 days. On post‐dose days 1 8, 24‐h profiles intragastric pH...

Background: Clobazam (CLB) is a 1,5-benzodiazepine with antiepileptic properties. More than 70% of administered CLB dealkylated to yield N-desmethylclobazam (N-CLB), pharmacologically active metabolite, by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 and CYP2C19. The subsequent inactivation N-CLB primarily catalyzed Meanwhile, oxidoreductase (POR) the obligatory electron donor all microsomal CYP enzymes. aim this study was evaluate impact CYP2C19 POR genotypes on pharmacokinetic parameters N-CLB.

Mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) plays a key role in removing toxic aldehydes. Deficient variant ALDH2*2 genotype is prevalent up to 40% of the East Asians and reported be associated with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
