Influence of CYP2C9 and CYP2D6 polymorphisms on the pharmacokinetics of nateglinide in genotyped healthy volunteers.

BACKGROUND: The oral hypoglycaemic drug nateglinide is eliminated from the human body via hepatic biotransformation and renal tubular secretion. According to in vitro data, about 70% of nateglinide intrinsic clearance may be mediated by cytochrome P450 ( CYP) 2C9 and a smaller fraction by CYP3A4 and CYP2D6. OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of CYP2C9 polymorphisms and of the CYP2D6 poor metaboliser genotype on the pharmacokinetics of nateglinide and its effects on insulin, glucose and glucagon in plasma. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS: A prospective clinical study in 26 healthy volunteers chosen for their CYP2C9 and CYP2D6 genotype was conducted with individuals carrying wild-type genotype as reference group. METHODS: Serial plasma nateglinide, glucose, insulin and glucagon concentrations were measured over 34 hours after a 180 mg dose of nateglinide under challenge with 75 g of oral glucose at 0, 4 and 8 hours after nateglinide intake. Kinetics were evaluated by nonparametric methods and by population pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modelling. RESULTS: Significantly reduced oral nateglinide clearance was found in carriers of CYP2C9*3 alleles, (p < 0.01), whereas carriers of CYP2C9*2 alleles had kinetic parameters similar to those of carriers of the wild-type allele (p = nonsignificant). Median total clearances were 7.9, 8.4, 6.5, 6.9, 5.8 and 4.1 L/h in carriers of the CYP2C9 genotypes *1/*1, *1/*2, *2/*2, *1/*3, *2/*3 and *3/*3. Median clearance in three carriers of two deficient CYP2D6 alleles was 9.4 L/h. These differences in nateglinide kinetics due to CYP2C9 genotypes did not result in statistically significant differences in plasma glucose, insulin and glucagon. Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modelling revealed a minor effect of CYP2C9 genotype on insulin and glucose, and extrapolations indicated that carriers of the CYP2C9*3/*3 genotype may be at a slightly higher risk of hypoglycaemia compared with carriers of CYP2C9*1, particularly when taking nateglinide doses above 120 mg. CONCLUSION: The effect of CYP2C9 polymorphisms on nateglinide kinetics may cause a slightly increased risk for hypoglycaemia, which may become relevant in diabetic patients.[1]
