Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Calcineurin inhibitor (cyclosporine, CsA) and mTOR inhibitors (sirolimus, SRL) - immunosuppressants used to prevent allograft rejection after renal transplantation - have a narrow therapeutic index and show considerable inter-individual pharmacokinetic differences. Differences in expression and activity of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 and 3A5 affect these pharmacokinetics; cytochrome activity differences...
