Interindividual differences in the pharmacokinetics of paclitaxel and its metabolites in Japanese ovarian cancer patients were investigated in relation to genetic polymorphisms of the CYP2C8, CYP3A4, and MDR1 genes. The area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) ratios of paclitaxel/6alpha-hydroxypaclitaxel and paclitaxel/3 -p-hydroxypaclitaxel calculated as the metabolic index of CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 showed 13- and 12-fold interindividual variations, respectively. No patient had any CYP2C8… CONTINUE READING
