Objective:
The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether plasma fluvoxamine (FV) concentration is associated with CYP2D6*10 allele polymorphisms.
Methods:
Subjects were 46 Japanese patients (21 males) carrying neither *3, *4 nor *5 alleles and treated orally using FV. Venous blood was obtained from each patient for determination of FV concentration/dose (C/D) ratio (plasma concentration of FV divided by daily dose of FV per body weight) and CYP2D6 genotyping.
Results:
No significant differences in FV C/D ratio were found between subjects with no (n=13), one (n=18) or two (n=15) *10 alleles.
Conclusion:
Our results indicate that CYP2D6*10 genotypes do not exert significant effects on FV C/D ratio. As CYP2D6 genotypes differ with ethnic background, further studies should be conducted in different populations.
