A novel polymorphism in ABCB1 gene, CYP2B6*6 and sex predict single‐dose efavirenz population pharmacokinetics in Ugandans
7 Aug 2009
Abstract excerpt
WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS SUBJECT • Efavirenz is metabolized by highly polymorphic enzymes, CYP2B6 and CYP3A. The effect of the different variant alleles on efavirenz population pharmacokinetics has not yet been fully explored. • CYP2B6*6 influences efavirenz steady‐state pharmacokinetics. Together with sex it explains 11% of the between‐subject variability in apparent oral clearance, but predictions could...
