Introduction
• Pharmacogenomics:-Deals with the influence
  of genetic variation on drug response by co-
  relating gene expression or polymorphism
  with a drug’s efficacy or toxicity
History
1930s, Inability to taste phenylthiocarbamide
  and an autosomal recessive trait
1950s , A deficiency in plasma cholinesterase
  activity an inherited abnormality of
  succinylcholine metabolism.
Drug induced haemolysis, Glucose-6-phosphate
  dehydrogenase deficiency.(Africans)
• Pharmacogenetics- is often a study of the
  variations in a targeted gene, or group of
  functionally related genes.
• Pharmacogenomics , on the other hand is a
  much broader investigation of genetic
  variations at the level of the genome
 Pharmacogenomics includes Pharmacogenetics
Genetic polymorphism / mutation
• A difference in DNA sequence among
  individuals, groups, or populations. Sources
  include SNPs, sequence repeats, insertions,
  deletions and recombination.
• Changes in DNA sequence which have been
  conformed to be caused by external agents
  are also generally called "mutations" rather
  than "polymorphisms."
Single Nucleotide Polymorphism
               (SNP)
• DNA sequence variation that occurs when a
  single nucleotide in the genome sequence is
  altered.
   …CTAGATACGAACTGCATC…
    …CTAGATACGGACTGCATC…
• More than 14 million SNPs have been
  identified in the human genome. >60,000
  SNPs are located in the coding regions of the
  genes
CONSEQUENCES OF POLYMORPHISMS

• May result in a different amino acid or
  stop codon
• May result in a change in protein
  function or quantity
• No consequence
Human genetics
• Monogenic inheritance
   Bimodal
   Multimodal
   Broad
• Polygenic inheritance

Genetic polymorphism in drug
              targets
• Warfarin- Vit K epoxide reductase -VKORC1 --
  A41S, R58G, V66M, L128R and V45A
• ADRB2 gene- Beta receptors – Arg16/Arg16
ACE gene
• Angiotensin 1 –converting enzyme ,
  incertion(I)/deletion(D) polymorphism
  I/I homozygous -> susceptability to ACEI Rx
  D/D homozygous -> reduce the long-term
   benificial effect of ACEI, risk of accelerated loss of
   kidney function
Genetic polymorphism of drug
      metabolizing enzymes
• Enzymes involved in drug metabolism
CYP2D6*
• Metabolism of approximately 20-25% of marketing
  drugs. Beta-blockers, antidepressants,
  antiarrhythmic, antipsychotics




               The Pharmacogenomics Journal (2005) 5, 6–13
• Tomoxifen -> ER+ breast cancer
  CYP2D6*4 --- Poor metabolizer(7-10%)-
  frequent relapse , worse disease free survival
Selective substrates of CYP2D6
• Antidepressant

• in PM- users of TCA the risk of switching to
  any other antidepressant within 45 days,
• UM- therapeutical failure
CYP2C19
• CYP2C19*2, CYP2C19*3-- poor metabolizer




              Pharmacogenomics (2007) 8(9), 1199–1210
CYP2C19
    • Diazepam / omeprazole/ Phenytoin

                                                                             14%
                                                                             11%



    • Phenytoin / diazepam toxicity (is) more in
      poor metabolizer, further detailed studies
      required.


Br J Clin Pharmacol 2003; 56(3): 331-3   Clin Pharmacol Ther 1998; 63(4): 422-7.
CYP2C9
CYP2C9
• 16% of clinical drugs metabolized
• CYP2C9 * 2 and CYP2C9 * 3 variants are of
  significance- PM
• 80% of the pharmacologically more active S-
  enantiomer of warfarin is eliminated.
• CYP2C9 activity is rate-limiting in Phenytoin
  metabolic clearance
Amplichip CYP450
• Determine the genotype of the patient in
  terms of two CYPP450 enzymes: 2D6 and
  2C19
• FDA approved the test on December 24, 2004.
  The AmpliChip CYP450 test is the first FDA
  approved pharmacogenetic test.
CYP3A4/ CYP3A5
• Responsible for the metabolism of more than
  50% of clinical drugs
• More than 20 CYP3A4 variants have been
  identified
• Virtually all CYP3A4 substrates, with a few
  exceptions, are also metabolized by CYP3A5.
Other-drug metabolizing enzymes
• Thiopurine methyltransferase catalyzes the S-
  methylation of 6-mercaptopurine,
  azathioprine, and thioguanine, to inactivate
  the thiopurine drugs
• Patients exhibiting myelosuppression or bone
  marrow toxicity should be tested for (TPMT)
  enzyme deficiency. Continue withlower dose.
• Atypical butyrylcholinesterase
• N-Acetyltransferases slow Acetylators fast
  Acetylators
Genetic polymorphism of drugs
           transporters
• MDR1 and other ABC transporters play an
  important role in absorption, distribution, and
  elimination of many drugs and xenobiotics.
• PGP (ABCB1) serves as barrier against entry of
  compounds into the body, as well as from
  entering tissues.
• Cancer chemotheray – tumor cell over
  expressed with Pg- drug resistance
• The breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) is
  an ABCG2 transporter.

• ABCG2 C421A polymorphism influences the pk
  and therapeutic effect of Rosuvastatin.

• Reduced biliary exretion, Greater reduction in
  LDL cholesterol level in a gene-dose-
  dependent manner.
• SLC21A6 gene encodes OATP-C, a liver-specific
  transporter important for hepatic uptake of a
  variety of endogenous and therapeutic
  compounds.
Genetic Variables Affecting
       Adverse Drug Reactions
• Drug toxicity can result from the inhibition or
  activation of a therapeutic target by a drug.

• On-target toxicity -> excessive bleeding from
  high doses of warfarin.

• Off-target toxicity -> statin induced myopathy.
Drug induced liver injury
• Most common cause of clinical trial
  termination of new drugs (33%) and a main
  cause of the withdrawal of clinical drugs from
  the market.
• 80-fold higher risk of flucloxacillin DILI -SNP in
  the major histocompatibility complex (MHC),
  rs2395029, HLA-B*5701.
• Several SNPs from the MHC class II region that
  showed strong association with lumiracoxib
  hepatotoxicity.
• KCNE2 encodes MinK-related peptide 1, a
  subunit of the cardiac potassium channel.
• KCNE2 polymorphisms are associated with
  inherited long QT syndromes (LQTS) and some
  drug-induced LQTS
Drug hypersensitivity
    Drugs


                The hypersensitivity was strongly
  Abacavir      associated with the HLA polymorphism
                HLA-B*5701

                CBZ-induced hypersensitivity reactions
Carbamazepine   were also associated with a TNF
                promoter polymorphism 308TNF
                polymorphisms in 5q33 represent
Asparaginase    inherited variation in the risk of
                asparaginase allergy, and drug allergy and
                asthma
Principle of Pharmacogenomics:

                       TODAY’S DRUG




                   PHARMACOGENOMIC DRUG
Potential of Pharmacogenomics
• In today's world, only 30-60% of drugs work effectively to rid
  a patient's illness.
• However, with the application of pharmacogenomics, the
  success rate of drugs will increase to 100% (responders)

Drug target
• identification of a potential target at which
  the drug can act.
• Drugs which are based on targets showing
  wide polymorphisms can have variations in
  their effect. Can be avoided,
• Polymorphisms of P2Y 12 receptors in
  platelets increased risk of coronary artery
  disease - potential target
• Certain research subjects with particular
  genotypes is used as inclusion/ exclusion
  criteria.
• Prediction of safety of drug- avoiding PM
• Prediction of efficacy of drug- selecting a
  patients with HER2 expression
Cont… PGs in drug development

Imatinib inhibit BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase


    Mutations T315I and F359V directly
    affect the contact between Imatinib and
    the ABL kinase domain-> drug resistance


         Nilotinib, Nasatinib
FDA issued a black box notice
         clopidogrel
Drugs                Mechanism of action         Indications
Trastuzumab , 1998   HER2/neu receptors          Breast CA with HER2 over
                                                 expression
Imatinib , 2001      BCSR-ABL tyrosine kinase    CML, GIST
Gefitinib, 2003      EGFR tyrosine kinase        Locally advance NSCLC,
                     domine                      with EGFR expression
Irinotecan           Topoisomerase 1 inhibitor   Colon CA, In 2005, the FDA
                                                 changed the labeling to
                                                 add recommendations that
                                                 patients with
                                                 polymorphisms in UGT1A1
                                                 gene, particularly the
                                                 TA7/*28 variant, should
                                                 receive lower doses
Barriers
1. Complexity of finding gene variations that
  affect drug response.
Millions of SNPs must be identified and
  analyzed to determine their involvement (if
  any) in drug response.
Many genes are likely to influence responses
Limited knowledge of which genes are
  involved with each drug response
2. Disincentives for drug companies to make
  multiple pharmacogenomic products
Most pharmaceutical companies have been
  successful with their "one size fits all"
  approach to drug development
For small market- Pharmaceutical companies
  has to spend hundreds of millions of dollars
  on pharmacogenomics based drug
  development!----- “US Orphan Drug law”
Educating healthcare providers &
             patients
• Introducing multiple pharmacogenomic
  products to treat the same condition for
  different population subsets
• Complicates the process of prescribing and
  dispensing drugs
• Physicians must execute an extra diagnostic
  step to determine which drug is best suited to
  each patient
• Need for a better understanding of genetics by
  all physicians

Editor's Notes

  1. Much research is underway to understand how genomic information can be used to develop more personalized and cost-effective strategies for using drugs to improve human healthsome patients with depression respond to the first drug they are given, many do not, and doctors have to try another drug. Because each drug takes weeks to take its full effect, patients' depression may grow worse during the time spent searching for a drug that helps
  2. Is branch of pharmacology deals with thinflluence of genetic variation i.e gene polymophism either due to incersion , deletion SNP, repeated nucleotide , all these causes the change in drug response, that corelating this change with drug efficacy or toxicity, some genetic variation leads to reductiion in efficay of drugs , some poly causes increase in toxilty, Using a genetic information to predict whether the drug will help to make pateint well or ill
  3.  single gene pair, the tasters being homozygous or heterozygous for the dominant allele, the non-tasters homozygous for the recessive allele, first known example,  G6PD / NADPH pathway is the only source of reduced glutathione in red blood cells sulfanamides,premaquine, chloquine,
  4. PGt is often a study of the variations in a targeted gene, or group of functionally related genes. PGx, on the other hand is a much broader investigation of genetic variations at the level of the genome.
  5. Genetic muiation is a type of genetic polymorphism
  6. SNP is probably the most common variation. More than 90% of human genes contain at least one SNP, More than 14 million SNPs have been identified in the human genome. More than 60,000 SNPs are located in the coding regions of the genes, Most SNPs seem to have no apparent effect on gene function. Nonetheless, some SNPs do have profound impact on the function of associated genes.
  7. N-acetyltransferase NAT1 NAT2, 4-hydroxylation of debrisoquine (guanathedine ) anti hypertensive by CYP2D6 fallow mono genicmultimodel , poor metabolizers (PM) who have inactive CYP2D6, ultrarapidmetabolizers (UM) who have multiple copies of CYP2D6 and very high activities of 2D6, intermediate metabolizers who have reduced activities of CYP2D6, and extensive metabolizers (EM) who have a normal rate of metabolismBroad/poly--many drugs metabolized by CYP3A5 are also substrates of CYP3A4, the clinical effects of the CYP3A5*3 polymorphism may well be obscured by the presence of functional CYP3A4, or vice versa.
  8. 1950s , population variability, intrapetient variability, human genome sequence, recent progress genetic polymorphism of targets……… Pharmacogenetics involves the study of single gene mutations and their effect on drug response. The term pharmacogenomics is much broader and it involves surveying the entire genome to assess several determinants of drug responses,

  10. Patients with hypertension and albuminuria with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus were particularly susceptible to ACE inhibition treatment if they carried thehomozygous I/I genotype. the deletion polymorphism of ACE, particularly D/D homozy-gote, is a risk factor for an accelerated loss of kidneyfunction that reduces the long-term beneficial effect ofACE inhibition on progression of diabetic and nondiabetic kidney diseasesIn patients with essential hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy who participated in a long-term ACE inhibitor therapy, the magnitudes of regression of septal wall thickness and left ventricular mass index during the therapy were less in the D/D group than in the I/I group

  13. CYP2D6*4/*4 genotype (PM) had shorter relapse- free time and worse disease-free survival compared with patients with either one or no *4 alleles, On the other hand, higher incidence of moderate or severe hot flashes were found in patients with one or no *4 alleles (20%) compared with homozygotes of the *4 allele (0%). On Oct 18, 2006 the Subcommittee for Clinical Pharmacology recommended relabeling tamoxifento include information about this gene in the package insert, 7-10% of women with breast cancer may not receive the full medical benefit from taking tamoxifen due to their unique genetic make-up
  14. Ondensetron ineffective.. study demonstrated that in users of TCA the risk ofswitching to any other antidepressant within 45 days issignificantly higher in PMs than in EMs. But not seen in with SSRI,

  25. Irinotecan is a potent DNA topoisomerase I inhibitorused for the treatment of colorectal and lung cancers. Irinotecan is converted to its active metabolite, SN-38, by carboxylesterase in the liver. However, high levels of SN-38 lead to severe side effects, including severe myelosuppression in 15 to 20% and severe delayed-type diarrhea in 20 to 25%Patients ho- mozygous or heterozygous for the UGT1A1*28 allele have elevated levels of SN-38 and consequently are susceptible to bone marrow and gastrointestinal side effects of SN-38 if treated with a normal dose of irinotecan for cancer therap

In the future, this can be a potentialtarget for a drug compound produced against coronary artery disease.
  28. The efficacy of a drug, to a great extent, is determined by appropriate target selection, which can be guided by pharmacogenomic methods. HER2 Trastuzumab in breastcance in HER2 expression
  29. INR=(PTtest/PTn) ISI
  30. generation of active metabolite from clopidogrel depends on the enzymatic balance be- tweenbioactivation by P450s and bioinactivation by he- patic carboxyl esterase 1 and esterase,  The drug specifically and irreversibly inhibits the P2Y12 subtype of ADP receptor, which is important in activation of platelets and eventual cross-linking by the protein fibrin, APIXABAN highly selective inhibitor of factor Xa
  31. Patients with this variant express fewer UGT1A1 enzymes in their liver and are not able to clear the drug during chemotherapy as effectively as others, thus resulting in a larger dose.
  32. The costs associated with treating a bleeding event average $13,500 and a stroke is $39,000, suggesting that an annual net health care savings of as much as $1 billion per year could be realized by integrating genetic testing in the administration of Warfarin therapy
  33. market for certain drugs might be too small to justify costs that are incurred by the pharma- ceutical industry in R&D and regulatory approva, US Orphan Drug Law- 1983 — an‘orphan disease’ is a condition that affects fewer than200,000 people in the United States,
