Abstract
Objectives: The authors have demonstrated that a plasma lamotrigine concentration of 12.7 μmol/L may be a threshold for a good therapeutic response to lamotrigine augmentation therapy in treatment-resistant depressed patients. Lamotrigine is a substrate of P-glycoprotein, breast cancer resistant protein and organic cation transporter 1, which are encoded by ABCB1 , ABCG2 , and SLC22A1 , respectively. There have been several polymorphisms that affect its function. The present study investigated the relationship between these polymorphisms and the steady-state plasma concentrations (Css) of lamotrigine in treatment-resistant depressed patients receiving lamotrigine as augmentation therapy.
Methods: One hundred twenty-nine treatment-resistant depressed patients were included in this study. Treatment resistance is defined as lack of therapeutic response to at least 3 psychotropics despite adequate doses and duration. Their diagnoses were as follows: major depressive disorder (n = 58), bipolar II disorder (n = 52), and bipolar I disorder (n = 19). Lamotrigine augmentation therapy for 8 weeks was conducted. The final lamotrigine doses were 75 mg/d for 39 patients with valproate and 100 mg/d for 90 without it. Blood was sampled at 8:00 am after the 8th week of treatment. Plasma lamotrigine levels were quantified by using LC/MS/MS. The polymorphisms of ABCB1 1236C>T, 2677G>T/A, 3435C>T, ABCG2 421C>A, and SLC22A1 1222G>A were detected by polymerase chain reaction analyses.
Results: No significant relationships were observed between these polymorphisms and the Css of lamotrigine in the patients with or without valproate.
Conclusions: The present study suggests that these genetic polymorphisms do not play a role in controlling the Css of lamotrigine in treatment-resistant depressed patients treated with lamotrigine augmentation therapy.
期刊介绍：
Clinical Neuropharmacology is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to the pharmacology of the nervous system in its broadest sense. Coverage ranges from such basic aspects as mechanisms of action, structure-activity relationships, and drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, to practical clinical problems such as drug interactions, drug toxicity, and therapy for specific syndromes and symptoms. The journal publishes original articles and brief reports, invited and submitted reviews, and letters to the editor. A regular feature is the Patient Management Series: in-depth case presentations with clinical questions and answers.
