title: Association of the CYP3A4*1B 5'-flanking region polymorphism with cyclosporine pharmacokinetics in healthy subjects.
abstract: To determine the relationship between CYP3A4*1B polymorphism and cyclosporine pharmacokinetic parameters among healthy volunteers, the oral cyclosporine pharmacokinetic study was performed in 14 healthy subjects. Blood cyclosporine concentrations were measured by a high performance liquid chromatography. Concentration-time data were analyzed by a non-compartmental method using WinNonLin, and the blood samples were genotyped for the CYP3A4*1B 5'-promotor region using the polymerase chain reaction and a restriction digest. Each cyclosporine pharmacokinetic parameter was compared using the one-way ANOVA test according to his or her CYP3A4*1B genotype. There were four (4) homozygous A/A (wild-type), four (4) homozygous G/G (variant) and six (6) heterozygous A/G genotypes for CYP3A4*1B in these 14 healthy volunteers. The mean AUC/D (ng.hr/mL/mg) of CsA were 21.5 +/- 6.0 (A/A), 11.7 +/- 3.2 (G/G) and 19.2 +/- 2.3 (A/G), P = 0.0103 and the mean CL/F (L/hr) were 49.4 +/- 13.9 (A/A), 83.5 +/- 16.0 (G/G), and 52.5 +/- 5.6 (A/G), P = 0.0024. All other parameters were not significantly different among the three genotypes.
