Influence of CYP2D6, CYP3A5, ABCB1, APOE polymorphisms and nongenetic factors on donepezil treatment in patients with Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aims to evaluate the influence of genetic polymorphisms of CYP2D6, CYP3A5, ABCB1, and APOE genes and nongenetic factors on steady-state plasma concentrations (Cpss) of donepezil and therapeutic outcomes in Thai patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VAD).

Patients and methods

Eighty-five dementia patients who received donepezil for at least six months were recruited. CYP2D6, CYP3A5, ABCB1, and APOE polymorphisms were genotyped. Cpss of donepezil was measured. Association of genetic and non-genetic factors with Cpss and clinical outcomes of donepezil (cognitive function as measured by the Thai Mental State Examination score; TMSE) were determined by using univariate and multivariate analysis.
