Abstract excerpt
CYP2B6 is a highly polymorphic isoenzyme involved in the metabolism of many drugs including cyclophosphamide, bupropion, and efavirenz. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in CYP2B6 (516G>T) resulted in decreased expression and function associated with the CYP2B6*6 haplotype. Among the clinical implications of this phenotype, decreased activation of cyclophosphamide and increased plasma levels of efavirenz...
