Profile of the inhibitory effects of gefitinib on CYP2D6 variants in vitro 
.

CONCLUSION: The intrinsic clearance of dextromethorphan (Vmax/Km) for CYP2D6.2, CYP2D6.10, and CYP2D6.39 were 0.565-, 0.0376-, and 0.470-fold of that for wild type, respectively. For all variants, the mixed inhibition model was better at explaining the nature of the inhibitory effects of gefitinib than the competitive inhibition model. However, the inhibitory potency of gefitinib varied among the CYP2D6 genetic variants. The Ki values for CYP2D6.2, CYP2D6.10, and CYP2D6.39 were 1.4-, 2.5- and 1.5-fold higher than that for wild type, respectively, implying that these variants are less susceptible to the inhibition by gefitinib. The genetic variations in CYP2D6 might be one of the factors responsible for inter-individual differences in the strength of CYP2D6-mediated drug interactions involving gefitinib.
