Pharmacometabolomics Enables Real-World Drug Metabolism Sciences.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Pharmacogenomics (PGx) has revolutionized personalized medicine, notably by predicting drug responses through the study of the metabolic genotype of drug-metabolizing enzymes. However, these genotypes rely heavily on the availability and completeness of drug metabolism information and do not account for (all) "phenoconversion" factors, like drug-drug interactions and comorbidities. To address these limitations, a more phenotypic approach would be desirable, for which pharmacometabolomics (PMx) could be useful by studying and elucidating drug metabolism in patient samples, such as blood and urine. Methods: This study explored the potential of PMx to analyze real-world drug metabolite profiles of the extensively studied drug cyclosporine (CsA) using 24-h
