Irinotecan pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics and UGT1A genetic polymorphisms in Japanese: roles of UGT1A1*6 and *28
1 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: SN-38, an active metabolite of irinotecan, is detoxified by glucuronidation with UGT1A isoforms, 1A1, 1A7, 1A9, and 1A10. The pharmacogenetic information on UGT1A haplotypes covering all these isoforms is important for the individualized therapy of irinotecan. Associations between UGT1A haplotypes and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of irinotecan were investigated to identify pharmacogenetic...
