Abstract excerpt
Gefitinib is a first-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is metabolized extensively in the liver by enzymes encoded by CYP3A4, CYP2D6, and CYP3A5 and is the substrate of membrane transporters including ABCB1 and ABCG2. Evidence shows that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in these metabolizing and...
