代谢
曲马多在肝脏经历广泛的首过代谢,包括N-和O-去甲基化和结合。从广泛的代谢中,已经鉴定出至少23种代谢物。有两个主要的代谢途径:曲马多的O-去甲基化产生O-去甲基曲马多(M1),由CYP2D6催化,以及N-去甲基化产生N-去甲基曲马多(M2),由CYP3A4和CYP2B6催化。患者之间药代动力学性质的广泛差异,部分可以归因于CYP2D6基因的多态性,这决定了其酶活性。CYP2D6*1被认为是与正常酶活性和“广泛代谢者”表型相关的野生型等位基因;90-95%的高加索人被认为是“广泛代谢者”(具有正常的CYP2D6功能),而剩下的5-10%被认为是“弱代谢者”,具有减少或无功能的酶。与无功能酶相关的CYP2D6等位基因包括*3、*4、*5和*6,而与降低活性相关的等位基因包括*9、*10、*17和*41。弱代谢者的CYP2D6酶活性降低,因此产生曲马多代谢物M1和M2的量减少,这最终导致镇痛效果降低,因为曲马多主要通过M1与μ-阿片受体相互作用。
这些等位基因在不同种族之间的频率也有很大差异:*3、*4、*5、*6和*41在高加索人中较为常见,而*17在非洲人中更为常见。与5-10%的高加索人相比,只有大约1%的亚洲人被认为是弱代谢者,然而亚洲人群中携带CYP2D6*10等位基因的频率要高得多(51%),这在高加索人群中相对罕见,导致曲马多的暴露量增加。
一些个体被认为是“超快速代谢者”,例如那些携带CYP2D6基因重复(CYP2D6*DUP)或倍增的个体。这些个体由于活性代谢物(M1)浓度较高,存在曲马多中毒或效果夸张的风险。这种表型的发生在大约1%至2%的东亚人(中国、日本、韩国)、1%至10%的高加索人、3%至4%的非裔美国人中可见,在某些种族/民族群体中可能超过10%(例如,大洋洲人、北非人、中东人、阿什肯纳兹犹太人、波多黎各人)。美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)标签建议避免在这些个体中使用曲马多。
Tramadol undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism in the liver by N- and O- demethylation and conjugation. From the extensive metabolism, there have been identified at least 23 metabolites. There are two main metabolic pathways: the O-demethylation of tramadol to produce O-desmethyl-tramadol (M1) catalyzed by CYP2D6 and the N-demethylation to N-desmethyl-tramadol (M2) catalyzed by CYP3A4 and CYP2B6. The wide variability in the pharmacokinetic properties between patients can partly be ascribed to polymorphisms within the gene for CYP2D6 that determine its enzymatic activity. CYP2D6\*1 is considered the wild-type allele associated with normal enzyme activity and the "extensive metabolizer" phenotype; 90-95% of Caucasians are considered "extensive metabolizers" (with normal CYP2D6 function) while the remaining 5-10% are considered "poor metabolizers" with reduced or non-functioning enzyme. CYP2D6 alleles associated with non-functioning enzyme include *3, *4, *5, and *6 while alleles associated with reduced activity include *9, *10, *17, and *41. Poor metabolizers have reduced activity of the CYP2D6 enzyme and therefore less production of tramadol metabolites M1 and M2, which ultimately results in a reduced analgesic effect as tramadol interacts with the μ-opioid receptor primarily via M1. There are also large differences in the frequency of these alleles between different ethnicities: \*3, \*4, \*5, \*6, and \*41 are more common among Caucasians while \*17 is more common in Africans for example. Compared to 5-10% of Caucasians, only ~1% of Asians are considered poor metabolizers, however Asian populations carry a much higher frequency (51%) of the CYP2D6\*10 allele, which is relatively rare in Caucasian populations and results in higher exposure to tramadol. Some individuals are considered "ultra-rapid metabolizers", such as those carrying CYP2D6 gene duplications (CYP2D6*DUP) or multiplications. These individuals are at risk of intoxication or exaggerated effects of tramadol due to higher concentrations of its active metabolite (M1). The occurrence of this phenotype is seen in approximately 1% to 2% of East Asians (Chinese, Japanese, Korean), 1% to 10% of Caucasians, 3% to 4% of African-Americans, and may be >10% in certain racial/ethnic groups (ie, Oceanian, Northern African, Middle Eastern, Ashkenazi Jews, Puerto Rican). The FDA label recommends avoiding the use of tramadol in these individuals.
