Pharmacogenetic Pathway Analysis of Irinotecan
16 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
Irinotecan, a chemotherapeutic agent against various solid tumors, is a prodrug requiring activation to SN-38. Irinotecan's complex pharmacokinetics potentially allow for many genetic sources of variability. We explored relationships between pharmacokinetic pathways and polymorphisms in genes associated with irinotecan's metabolism and transport. We fitted a seven-compartment pharmacokinetic model with...
