Present Scenario in drug therapy
Optimal therapy for major illness: Still elusive
Schizophrenia: 30 % do not respond
Hypertension: 27 % adequately controlled
ADR: 1 lakh patients die every year in USA
Cost of drug development : $ 500 – 700 million
for each drug …… 80% fails in clinical trial
This can be improved by
At
Giving the right drug
Right Dose
To the Right Patient
At the Right Time
Patient specific selection of medication and their dosage
PHARMACOGENOMICS
Right Drug
Right Gene
Individualized medicine
Pharmacogenetics: Study of the
effect of variation in a single gene
Pharmacogenomics: Study of the
effect of variation in multiple genes
DNA sequence of all human beings is 99.9% identical
Our DNAs differ by 0.1%.
Does it make a difference ?
Yes
0.1% difference translates into 3 million
separate “spelling” differences in a
genome of 3 billion bases
What is Genetic Polymorphism?
A genetic polymorphism is any
mutant or variant gene that
occurs with a frequency of more
than 1% in the normal population

DRUG TRANSPORTERS
There are 7 different ABC transporters
MDR1 is important among them.
MDR1 encodes a P-glycoprotein that
mediates ATP-dependent efflux of drugs.

CYP2C9 and ADR of Warfarin
Subjects who are carriers of at least one
mutant allele (*2 or *3) are 4 times more
susceptible to bleeding complications
in spite of low dose administration
TPMT polymorphism induced ADR
Patients
having TPMT*2, *3A and *3C

They
are at risk for excessive toxicity,
especially fatal myelosuppression,
