Abstract
One of the biggest obstacles to the treatment of diseases, particularly serious conditions like cancer, is therapeutic resistance. The process of drug resistance is influenced by a number of important variables, including MDR genes, drug efflux, low-quality medications, inadequate dosage, etc. Drug resistance must be addressed, and new combinations based on the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK-PD) characteristics of the partner pharmaceuticals must be developed in order to extend the half-lives of already available medications. The primary mechanism of drug elimination is hepatic biotransformation of medicines by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes; of these CYPs, CYP3A4 makes up 30-40% of all known cytochromes that metabolize medications. Induction or inhibition of CYP3A4-mediated metabolism affects the pharmacokinetics of most anticancer drugs, but these details are not fully understood and highlighted because of the complexity of tumor microenvironments and various influencing patient related factors. The involvement of CYPs, particularly CYP3A4 and other drug-metabolizing enzymes, in cancer medication resistance will be covered in the current review.
期刊介绍:
Current Drug Metabolism aims to cover all the latest and outstanding developments in drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and drug disposition. The journal serves as an international forum for the publication of full-length/mini review, research articles and guest edited issues in drug metabolism. Current Drug Metabolism is an essential journal for academic, clinical, government and pharmaceutical scientists who wish to be kept informed and up-to-date with the most important developments. The journal covers the following general topic areas: pharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics, toxicology, and most importantly drug metabolism.
More specifically, in vitro and in vivo drug metabolism of phase I and phase II enzymes or metabolic pathways; drug-drug interactions and enzyme kinetics; pharmacokinetics, pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modeling, and toxicokinetics; interspecies differences in metabolism or pharmacokinetics, species scaling and extrapolations; drug transporters; target organ toxicity and interindividual variability in drug exposure-response; extrahepatic metabolism; bioactivation, reactive metabolites, and developments for the identification of drug metabolites. Preclinical and clinical reviews describing the drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics of marketed drugs or drug classes.
