Individual and Combined Associations of Genetic Variants in CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and SLCO1B1 With Simvastatin and Simvastatin Acid Plasma Concentrations.

ABSTRACT: Our objective was to evaluate the associations of genetic variants affecting simvastatin (SV) and simvastatin acid (SVA) metabolism [the gene encoding cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A, polypeptide 4 (CYP3A4)*22 and the gene encoding cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A, polypeptide 5 (CYP3A5)*3] and transport [the gene encoding solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1 (SLCO1B1) T521C] with 12-hour plasma SV and SVA concentrations. The variants were genotyped, and the concentrations were quantified by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in 646 participants of the Cholesterol and Pharmacogenetics clinical trial of 40 mg/d SV for 6 weeks. The genetic variants were tested for association with 12-hour plasma SV, SVA, or the SVA/SV ratio using general linear models. CYP3A5*3 was not significantly associated with 12-hour plasma SV or SVA concentration. CYP3A4*1/*22 participants had 58% higher 12-hour plasma SV concentration compared with CYP3A4*1/*1 participants (P = 0.006). SLCO1B1 521T/C and 521C/C participants had 71% (P < 0.001) and 248% (P < 0.001) higher 12-hour plasma SVA compared with SLCO1B1 521T/T participants, respectively. CYP3A4 and SLCO1B1 genotypes combined categorized participants into low (<1), intermediate (?1), and high (>1) SVA/SV ratio groups (P = 0.001). In conclusion, CYP3A4*22 and SLCO1B1 521C were significantly associated with increased 12-hour plasma SV and SVA concentrations, respectively. CYP3A5*3 was not significantly associated with 12-hour plasma SV or SVA concentrations. The combination of CYP3A4*22 and SLCO1B1 521C was significantly associated with SVA/SV ratio, which may translate into different clinical SV risk/benefit profiles.

Project description:ObjectiveSimvastatin is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4. A combined CYP3A4/5 genotype classification, combining the decrease-of-function CYP3A4*22 and the loss-of-function CYP3A5*3, has recently been reported. We aim to determine whether CYP3A4*22 and CYP3A5*3 alleles are associated with increased plasma concentrations of simvastatin lactone (SV) and simvastatin acid (SVA). This is the first report evaluating associations between in-vivo simvastatin concentrations and CYP3A4*22, alone or in a combined CYP3A4/5 genotype-defined classification.Participants and methodsGenotypes and simvastatin concentrations were determined for 830 participants (555 Whites and 275 African-Americans) in the Cholesterol and Pharmacogenomics clinical trial with 40 mg/day simvastatin for 6 weeks. Concentrations were determined in 12-h postdose samples. Associations between simvastatin concentrations and CYP3A4*22 and CYP3A5*3 alleles were tested separately and in a combined CYP3A4/5 genotype-defined classification system.ResultsIn Whites, CYP3A4*22 carriers (n=42) had 14% higher SVA (P=0.04) and 20% higher SV (P=0.06) compared with noncarriers (n=513). CYP3A5*3 allele status was not significantly associated with SV or SVA in Whites. In African-Americans, CYP3A4*22 carriers (n=8) had 170% higher SV (P<0.01) than noncarriers (n=267), but no significant difference was detected for SVA. African-American CYP3A5 nonexpressors (n=28) had 33% higher SV (P=0.02) than CYP3A5 expressors (n=247), but no significant difference was detected for SVA. For both races, SV appeared to decrease across the rank-ordered combined CYP3A4/5 genotype-defined groups (poor, intermediate, and extensive metabolizers); however, similar trends were not observed for SVA.ConclusionGenetic variation in CYP3A4 was associated with plasma simvastatin concentrations in self-reported Whites. Genetic variations in CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 were associated with plasma simvastatin concentrations in self-reported African-Americans.

Project description:Atorvastatin, prescribed for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, demonstrated overwhelming benefits in reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, many patients discontinue therapy due to adverse reactions, especially myopathy. The Dutch Pharmacogenetics Working Group (DPWG) recommends an alternative agent to atorvastatin and simvastatin or a dose adjustment depending on other risk factors for statin-induced myopathy in SLCO1B1 rs4149056 CC or TC carriers. In contrast, the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) published their guideline on simvastatin, but not on atorvastatin. In this work, we aimed to demonstrate the effect of SLCO1B1 phenotype and other variants (e.g., in CYP3A4/5, UGT enzymes or SLC transporters) on atorvastatin pharmacokinetics. For this purpose, a candidate-gene pharmacogenetic study was proposed. The study population comprised 156 healthy volunteers enrolled in atorvastatin bioequivalence clinical trials. The genotyping strategy comprised a total of 60 variants in 15 genes. Women showed higher exposure to atorvastatin compared to men (p = 0.001), however this difference disappeared after dose/weight (DW) correction. The most relevant pharmacogenetic differences were the following: AUC/DW and Cmax /DW based on (a) SLCO1B1 phenotype (p < 0.001 for both) and (b) CYP3A5*3 (p = 0.004 and 0.018, respectively). As secondary findings: SLC22A1 *2/*2 genotype was related to higher Cmax/DW (ANOVA p = 0.030) and SLC22A1 *1/*5 genotype was associated with higher Vd/F (ANOVA p = 0.032) compared to SLC22A1 *1/*1, respectively. Finally, UGT2B7 rs7439366 *1/*1 genotype was associated with higher tmax as compared with the *1/*3 genotype (ANOVA p = 0.024). Based on our results, we suggest that SLCO1B1 is the best predictor for atorvastatin pharmacokinetic variability and that prescription should be adjusted based on it. We suggest that the CPIC should include atorvastatin in their statin-SLCO1B1 guidelines. Interesting and novel results were observed based on CYP3A5 genotype, which should be confirmed with further studies.
