Influence of CYP3A and MDR1 genetic polymorphisms on the pharmacokinetics of ciclosporin A / 国际药学研究杂志

ABSTRACT

Ciclosporin A (CsA). an immunosuppressive macrolide antibiotics, is widely applied to prevent rejections after organ transplants. CsA is mainly transported by P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP450) 3A.Genetic polymorphisms of CYP3A and MDRl probably influence the expressions and bioactivity of CYP3A and P-gp.and may affect the pharmacokinetics of CsA.This issue summarizes the correlation between genetic polymorphisms of CYP3A and MDRl and the pharmacokinetics of CsA to guide the rational and individualized medication.
