Cytochromes P450 and P-Glycoprotein Phenotypic Assessment to Optimize Psychotropic Pharmacotherapy: A Retrospective Analysis of Four Years of Practice in Psychiatry.

ABSTRACT: Altered cytochromes P450 enzymes (CYP) and P-glycoprotein transporter (P-gp) activity may explain variabilities in drug response. In this study, we analyzed four years of phenotypic assessments of CYP/P-gp activities to optimize pharmacotherapy in psychiatry. A low-dose probe cocktail was administered to evaluate CYP1A2, 2B6, 2D6, 2C9, 2C19, 3A4, and P-gp activities using the probe/metabolite concentration ratio in blood or the AUC. A therapeutic adjustment was suggested depending on the phenotyping results. From January 2017 to June 2021, we performed 32 phenotypings, 10 for adverse drug reaction, 6 for non-response, and 16 for both reasons. Depending on the CYP/P-gp evaluated, only 23% to 56% of patients had normal activity. Activity was decreased in up to 57% and increased in up to 60%
