ABSTRACT

We describe a new simple, selective and sensitive micromethod based on HPLC and fluorescence detection to measure debrisoquine (D) and 4-hydroxydebrisoquine (4-OHD) in urine for the investigation of xenobiotic metabolism by debrisoquine hydroxylase (CYP2D6). Four hundred µl of urine was required for the analysis of D and 4-OHD. Peaks were eluted at 8.3 min (4-OHD), 14.0 min (D) and 16.6 min for the internal standard, metoprolol (20 µg/ml). The 5-µm CN-reverse-phase column (Shimpack, 250 x 4.6 mm) was eluted with a mobile phase consisting of 0.25 M acetate buffer, pH 5.0, and acetonitrile (9:1, v/v) at 0.7 ml/min with detection at lexcitation = 210 nm and lemission = 290 nm. The method, validated on the basis of measurements of spiked urine, presented 3 ng/ml (D) and 6 ng/ml (4-OHD) sensitivity, 390-6240 ng/ml (D) and 750-12000 ng/ml (4-OHD) linearity, and 5.7/8.2 percent (D) and 5.3/8.2 percent (4-OHD) intra/interassay precision. The method was validated using urine of a healthy Caucasian volunteer who received one 10-mg tablet of Declinax®, po, in the morning after an overnight fast. Urine samples (diuresis of 4 or 6 h) were collected from zero to 24 h. The urinary excretion of D and 4-OHD, Fel (0-24 h), i.e., fraction of dose administered and excreted into urine, was 6.4 percent and 31.9 percent, respectively. The hydroxylation capacity index reported as metabolic ratio was 0.18 (D/4-OHD) for the person investigated and can be compared to reference limits of < 12.5 for poor metabolizers (PM) and < 12.5 for extensive metabolizers (EM). In parallel, the recovery ratio (RR), another hydroxylation capacity index, was 0.85 (4-OHD: SD + 4-OHD) versus reference limits of RR < 0.12 for PM and RR > 0.12 for EM. The healthy volunteer was considered to be an extensive metabolizer on the basis of the debrisoquine test.

ABSTRACT

El estudio de los factores genéticos que determinan la respuesta a los medicamentos se denomina farmacogenética. En la década del 70 se describió el polimorfismo genético de la debrisoquina-hidroxilasa, un hallazgo de gran relevancia dado que muchos fármacos utilizados en terapéutica se oxidan por la misma vía metabólica. Esto explica gran parte de la variabilidad individual que se observa en las concentraciones plasmáticas de estos agentes terapéuticos lo cual determina tanto la falta de efecto como las reacciones adversas, tóxicas o ambas. El dextrometorfano es un derivado opiáceo sintético que se metaboliza por la misma vía que la debrisoquina siendo su uso más seguro, por lo cual se lo utilizó como sonda farmacogenética para explorar la vía metabólica oxidativa del citocromo P-450 2D6 mediante su metabolito O-demetilado, el dextrorfano. En el presente artículo se estudia la distribución fenotípica de la O-demetilación del dextrometorfano en la población uruguaya mediante el cociente metabólico (CM). Este se calcula dividiendo la concentración urinaria el dextrometorfano sobre la concentración urinaria del dextrofano (metabolito O-demetilado). Se caracterizaron fenotípicamente 302 voluntarios en condiciones casi basales y se encontró una variabilidad interindividual diez veces superior a la intraindividual. El examen del fenotipo muestra una distribución trimodal con 13,9 por ciento de metabolizadores rápidos, 78,8 por ciento de metabolizadores intermedios y 7,3 por ciento de metabolizadores lentos. El histograma de frecuencias del CM maestra algunas peculiaridades que se discuten en el texto
