Abstract

This study aimed to understand the effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in UGT1A1, SLCO1B3, ABCB1, ABCC2, ABCG2, and ORM1 on the pharmacokinetics (PK) (plasma concentration) and pharmacodynamics (PD) (blood pressure) of telmisartan in Chinese patients. 58 Han Chinese patients (aged 45 - 72 years) with mild to moderate essential hypertension were included and received 80 mg/day telmisartan for 4 weeks. The plasma concentration and genetic variants were determined by LC/MS/MS and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, respectively. Multivariable linear analysis was used to examine the relationships between PK/PD and genetic variants. Females showed a significantly higher AUC<sub>last</sub> than males (n = 22, 4,879.48 ± 3,449.33 h×ng/mL vs. n = 36, 2,715.59 ± 2,223.77 h×ng/mL, p = 0.047). Amongst all genetic variants investigated, the patients with UGT1A1 rs4124874 AA (n = 11, 1,730.51 ± 1,325.79 h×ng/mL) had a significantly lower AUC<sub>last</sub> compared with patients with UGT1A1 rs4124874 CC+AC (n = 19 + 28, 4,177.44 ± 3,222.11 h×ng/mL and 3,810.82 ± 2,960.43 h×ng/mL, p = 0.027). None of the SNPs investigated was associated with the PD responses to telmisartan. Variation of UGT1A1 (rs4124874) affects PK of telmisartan in ...Continue Reading

Anthelmintics

Anthelmintics or antihelminthics are a group of antiparasitic drugs that expel parasitic worms (helminths) and other internal parasites from the body by either stunning or killing them and without causing significant damage to the host. Discover the latest research on anthelmintics here.
