Résumé
In vitro work shows CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 contribute to the metabolism of escitalopram to its primary metabolite, N-desmethylescitalopram. We report the effect of CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 genotypes on steady state morning concentrations of escitalopram and N-desmethylescitalopram and the ratio of this metabolite to the parent drug in 196 adult patients with depression in GENDEP, a clinical pharmacogenomic trial. Subjects who had one CYP2D6 allele associated with intermediate metabolizer phenotype and one associated with poor metabolizer (i.e. IM/PM genotypic category) had a higher mean logarithm escitalopram concentration than CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers (EMs) (p=0.004). Older age was also associated with higher concentrations of escitalopram. Covarying for CYP2D6 and age, we found those homozygous for the CYP2C19*17 allele associated with ultrarapid metabolizer (UM) phenotype had a significantly lower mean escitalopram concentration (2-fold, p=0.0001) and a higher mean metabolic ratio (p=0.0003) than EMs, while those homozygous for alleles conferring the PM phenotype had a higher mean escitalopram concentration than EMs (1.55-fold, p=0.008). There was a significant overall association between CYP2C19 genotypic category and escitalopram concentration (p=0.0003; p=0.0012 Bonferroni corrected). In conclusion, we have demonstrated an association between CYP2C19 genotype, including the CYP2C19*17 allele, and steady state escitalopram concentration.

Funding Information:The GENDEP clinical pharmacogenomics study was part of an integrated project funded by a European Commission Framework 6 grant, EC Contract Ref.: LSHB-CT-2003-503428. Nader Perroud was funded by the Swiss National Science foundation: PASMA-118605. Lundbeck provided both nortriptyline and escitalopram free of charge for GENDEP. Roche Molecular Systems (USA) supplied the AmpliChip CYP450 Test® microarrays and some associated support. GlaxoSmithKline and the Medical Research Council (UK) contributed by funding add-on projects in the London centre. In its latter stages, GENDEP received additional funding at the Institute of Psychiatry site from the Biomedical Research Centre for Mental Health at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London (National Institute for Health Research, Department of Health, UK). However, the authors’ work was independent of the funders, with the legal sponsor of the study being the Institute of Psychiatry at King’s College London. The funders had no role in the design and conduct of the study, in data collection, analysis, interpretation or writing of this report.
