Abstract [sv]

Människans hjärna, centrala nervsystem (CNS), består av ett antal mycket olika strukturer, men naturligtvis med vissa gemensamma drag på till exempel cellulär nivå, strukturer som på grund av både olikheter men också vissa likheter trots allt inte sällan har mycket specialiserade CNS-funktioner. I praktisk biologi och sjukvård skiljer man därför gärna mellan neurologi, psykiatri (inklusive psykologi) och neuropsykiatriska tillstånd. Typiskt för neuropsykiatrisk sjukdom är kroniskt kognitiva störningar på vävnadsstrukturell grund, det vill säga olika typer av demensutveckling som kan hanteras både inom neurologin och psykiatrin men vanligen inom geriatriken.

Abstract [en]

P-glycoprotein (P-gp), encoded by the ABCB1/MDR1 gene, is a drug transporter at the blood–brain barrier. Several polymorphisms in the ABCB1 gene are known to affect the activity and/or expression of P-gp, thereby influencing the treatment response and toxicity of P-gp substrates like citalopram and venlafaxine. In this study, we aimed to investigate the frequency of ABCB1 genotypes in forensic autopsy cases involving these two antidepressants. Further, the distribution of ABCB1 genotypes in deaths related to intoxication was compared to cases not associated to drug intoxication. The study included 228 forensic autopsy cases with different causes and manners of deaths. The ABCB1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) G1199A, C1236T, C3435T and G2677T/A for these individuals were determined. The SNPs C1236T and C3435T in venlafaxine-positive cases were significantly different between the intoxication cases and non-intoxications. This was not seen for cases involving citalopram, indicating that the effect of genetic variants might be substrate specific. This novel finding should, however, be confirmed in future studies with larger number of cases.

Abstract [en]

Background: According to both in vitro and in vivo data P-glycoprotein (P-gp) may restrict the uptake of several antidepressants into the brain, thus contributing to the poor success rate of current antidepressant therapies. The therapeutic activity of citalopram resides in the Senantiomer, whereas the R-enantiomer is practically devoid of serotonin reuptake potency. To date, no in vivo data are available that address whether the enantiomers of citalopram and its metabolites are substrates of P-gp.

Methods: P-gp knockout (abcb1ab (-/-)) and wild-type (abcb1ab (+/+)) mice underwent acute (single-dose) and chronic (two daily doses for 10 days) treatment with citalopram (10 mg/kg) or escitalopram (5 mg/kg). Serum and brain samples were collected 1-6 h after the first or last i.p. injection for subsequent drug analysis by an enantioselective HPLC method. Results: In brain, 3-fold higher concentrations of S- and R-citalopram, and its metabolites, were found in abcb1ab (-/-) mice than in abcb1ab (+/+) mice after both acute and chronic citalopram treatments. After escitalopram treatment, the S-citalopram brain concentration was 3-5 times higher in the knockout mice than in controls.

Conclusions: The results provide novel evidence that the enantiomers of citalopram are substrates of P-gp. Possible clinical and toxicological implications of this finding need to be further elucidated.

Abstract [en]

Venlafaxine (VEN) is an antidepressant drug mainly metabolized by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme CYP2D6 to the active metabolite O-desmethylvenlafaxine (ODV). VEN is also metabolized to N-desmetylvenlafaxine (NDV) via CYP3A4. ODV and NDV are further metabolized to N,O-didesmethylvenlafaxine (DDV). VEN is a racemic mixture of the S- and R-enantiomers and these have in vitro displayed different degrees of serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibition. The aim of the study was to investigate if an enantioselective analysis of VEN and its metabolites, in combination with genotyping for CYP2D6, could assist in the interpretation of forensic toxicological results in cases with different causes of deaths. Concentrations of the enantiomers of VEN and metabolites were determined in femoral blood obtained from 56 autopsy cases with different causes of death. The drug analysis was done by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) and the CYP2D6 genotyping by PCR and pyrosequencing. The mean (median) enantiomeric S/R ratios of VEN, ODV, NDV and DDV were 0.99 (0.91), 2.17 (0.93), 0.92 (0.86) and 1.08 (1.03), respectively. However, a substantial variation in the relationship between the S- and R-enantiomers of VEN and metabolites was evident (S/R ratios ranging from 0.23 to 17.6). In six cases, a low S/R VEN ratio (mean 0.5) was associated with a high S/R ODV ratio (mean 11.9). Genotyping showed that these individuals carried two inactive CYP2D6 genes indicating a poor metabolizer phenotype. From these data we conclude that enantioselective analysis of VEN and ODV can predict if a person is a poor metabolizer genotype/phenotype for CYP2D6. Knowledge of the relationship between the S- and R-enantiomers of this antidepressant drug and its active metabolite is also important since the enantiomers display different pharmacodynamic profiles.

Abstract [en]

Pharmacokinetics of antidepressant drugs (ATDs), in terms of steady-state and trough values, in patients from Child and Adolescent Psychiatry centers in the midsouth-eastern part of Sweden, were evaluated, and the use of ATDs in this population were described. Patients to be prescribed an ATD were studied between 2002 and 2004. Two hundred eleven children, 64% girls and 36% boys (ages 8-20 years) were evaluated. The primary indication for the antidepressant treatment was depression in 69% of subjects. The median body mass index was 20.2 kg/m(2) (range, 12.4-38.6 kg/m(2)). Suspected adverse drug reactions were spontaneously reported in 31% (no serious). Monotherapy was indicated in 49% of request forms. The most common drug combination with the ATD was oral contraceptives. The concentrations of drugs in the patient evaluated population to referenced data for adults from the dose administered were as expected in 63%, higher than expected in 26% and lower than expected in 11%. The most prescribed ATD was sertraline (SERT). Dose-concentration relationships for SERT and metabolite desmethylsertraline (DSERT) were seen, r(s) = 0.48 and r(s) = 0.5, respectively. No relationship was found between dose and ratio DSERT/SERT. The median daily dose was 50 mg (range, 12.5-150 mg), SERT concentration 16 ng/mL (range, 3-88 ng/mL), and DSERT 33 ng/mL (range, 0-253 ng/mL). CYP2D6*4 was the most common poor metabolizer allele. Therapeutic drug monitoring may provide support to prescribing physicians to individual dose optimizing and to assess drug compliance, above all when ATDs are not well studied in pediatric patients before approval for general prescription.

Abstract [en]

The female Sprague-Dawley (SD) and Dark Agouti (DA) rats are considered the animal counterparts of the human extensive and poor metabolizer cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 phenotypes, respectively. The aim of this work was to study possible rat strain differences in the steady-state pharmacokinetics of the (+)-(S)- and (-)-(R)-enantiomers of citalopram and its demethylated metabolites. A chronic drug treatment regimen (15 mg/kg daily) was implemented for 13 days in separate groups of SD (n 5 9) and DA (n 5 9) rats by using osmotic pumps. The concentrations of citalopram and two major metabolites in serum and two brain regions were analyzed by an enantioselective high-performance liquid chromatography assay. Higher serum and brain levels of citalopram and demethylcitalopram, but lower levels of didemethylcitalopram, were observed in DA rats when compared with SD rats. The enantiomeric (S/R) concentrations ratios of citalopram were lower in the DA rats when compared with the SD rats (0.53 +/- 0.05 vs. 0.80 +/- 0.03, P andlt; 0.001), indicating a possibly decreased capacity in the metabolism of the (-)-(R)-enantiomer in the DA rats. This study shows that CYP2D deficiency results in steady-state pharmacokinetic differences of the enantiomers of citalopram and its metabolites.

Abstract [en]

Our results show that P-gp at the blood-brain barrier plays an important role in limiting brain entry of the enantiomers of venlafaxine and its metabolites after chronic dosing. Taken together, the present pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic findings offer the possibility that the expression of P-gp in patients may be a contributing factor for limited treatment response.

Abstract [en]

According to in vitro studies the enantiomers of venlafaxine display different degrees of serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibition. Therefore, clarification of the enantiomeric drug distribution between serum and brain is highly warranted. To elucidate if P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in a stereoselective manner transports venlafaxine and its metabolites out of the brain we used abcb1ab double-knockout mice that do not express P-gp. A single dose of racemic venlafaxine (10 mg/kg bw) was intraperitoneally injected to knockout (-/-) and wildtype (+/+) mice. Serum and brain samples were collected 1, 3, 6 and 9 h following drug administration for analysis by LC/MS/MS. One to six hours post-dose, the brain concentrations of venlafaxine, O-desmethylvenlafaxine and N-desmethylvenlafaxine were 2-3, 2-6 and 3-12 times higher in abcb1ab (-/-) mice compared to abcb1ab (+/+) mice, respectively. No major differences in the serum and brain disposition of the S- and R-enantiomers of venlafaxine and its metabolites were found between the groups. We conclude that P-gp decreases the penetration of the S- and R-enantiomers of venlafaxine and its major metabolites into the brain. No evidence of a stereoselective P-gp mediated transport of these substances was observed.

Abstract [sv]

Då kolesterolhypotesen nyligen ifrågasatts har en uppdatering gjorts av kolesterolets roll i aterogenesen hos människa.

Genetiska, epidemiologiska, cellbiologiska, molekylärbiologiska och kliniska skäl som anförs visar entydigt på en viktig roll för low-density lipoprotein (LDL) i aterosklerosutvecklingen.

Behandlingsstudier med olika typer av LDL-sänkande behandling styrker ytterligare att kolesterol har stor betydelseför uppkomsten av atero­skleros.

Fortfarande kvarstår en stor risk för hjärt–kärlsjukdom i Sverige. Nya hypoteser kring orsaken till ateroskleros är därför välkomna.

Nya tankar kan vara att optimal LDL-nivå ännu inte uppnåtts och/eller att andra lipoproteiner, såsom high-density lipoprotein (HDL) eller triglycerider också måste tas med som viktiga aterogena faktorer.
