Abstract excerpt
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are highly effective agents for the treatment of gastric acid-related disorders. They are metabolized by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) system, mainly via the enzyme CYP2C19. A genetically determined defect in this pathway results in impaired metabolism of PPIs, giving rise to three distinct phenotypes: rapid extensive (fast), extensive (medium), and poor (slow) metabolizers. These...
