代谢
美沙酮在首次通过肝脏时会发生相当广泛的代谢。细胞色素P450酶,主要是CYP3A4、CYP2B6和CYP2C19,以及较少程度的CYP2C9、CYP2C8和CYP2D6,负责将美沙酮转化为EDDP(2-乙基-1,5-二甲基-3,3-二苯基吡咯烷)和其他无活性代谢物,这些代谢物主要通过尿液排出。美沙酮首先经历N-去甲基化,形成一个高度不稳定的化合物,通过环化和脱水自发转化为EDDP。EDDP然后转化为2-乙基-5-甲基-3,3-二苯基-1-吡咯烷(EDMP)。EDDP和EDMP都是无活性的。CYP同种酶也对代谢美沙酮对映异构体表现出不同的亲和力:CYP2C19、CYP3A7和CYP2C8优先代谢(R)-美沙酮,而CYP2B6、CYP2D6和CYP2C18优先代谢(S)-美沙酮。CYP3A4没有对映异构体偏好。细胞色素P450酶中的单核苷酸多态性(SNPs)可能会影响美沙酮的药代动力学,并导致对美沙酮治疗反应的个体间差异。特别是,CYP2B6多态性已被证明影响个体对美沙酮的反应,因为它是美沙酮N-去甲基化、清除和代谢比[methadone]/[EDDP]的主要决定因素。SNPs CYP2B6*6、*9、*11、CYP2C19*2、*3、CYP3A4*1B和CYP3A5*3导致美沙酮血浆浓度增加,N-去甲基化减少和美沙酮清除减少,而CYP2B6*6/*6纯合子携带者显示美沙酮的代谢和清除减弱。有关更多信息,请参阅药物基因组学部分。
药物基因组学对CYP酶的影响可能是显著的,因为美沙酮的长半衰期可能导致一些个体的血药水平高于正常治疗水平,这使他们有剂量相关副作用的风险。例如,(R)-美沙酮水平升高可能会增加呼吸抑制的风险,而(S)-美沙酮水平升高可能会增加由于QTc间期延长而导致严重心律失常的风险。
Methadone undergoes fairly extensive first-pass metabolism. Cytochrome P450 enzymes, primarily CYP3A4, CYP2B6, and CYP2C19 and to a lesser extent CYP2C9, CYP2C8, and CYP2D6, are responsible for conversion of methadone to EDDP (2-ethyl-1,5-dimethyl-3,3-diphenylpyrrolidine) and other inactive metabolites, which are excreted mainly in the urine. Methadone first undergoes N-demethylation to form a highly unstable compound that spontaneously converts to EDDP through cyclization and dehydration. EDDP is then converted to 2-ethyl5-methyl-3,3-diphenyl-1-pyrroline (EDMP). Both EDDP and EDMP are inactive. The CYP isozymes also demonstrate different affinities for metabolizing the different methadone enantiomers: CYP2C19, CYP3A7, and CYP2C8 preferentially metabolize (R)-methadone while CYP2B6, CYP2D6, and CYP2C18 preferentially metabolize (S)-methadone. CYP3A4 does not have an enantiomer preference. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the cytochrome P450 enzymes can impact methadone pharmacokinetics and contribute to the interindividual variation in response to methadone therapy. In particular, CYP2B6 polymorphisms have been shown to impact individual response to methadone as it is the predominant determinant involved in the N-demethylation of methadone, clearance, and the metabolic ratios of [methadone\]/[EDDP]. The SNPs CYP2B6\*6, \*9, \*11, CYP2C19\*2, \*3, CYP3A4\*1B, and CYP3A5\*3 result in increased methadone plasma concentrations, decreased N-demethylation, and decreased methadone clearance, while homozygous carriers of CYP2B6\*6/\*6 demonstrate diminished metabolism and clearance of methadone. See the pharmacogenomics section for further information. Pharmacogenomic effects on the CYP enzymes can be significant as the long half-life of methadone can result in some individuals having higher than normal therapeutic levels which puts them at risk of dose-related side effects. For example, elevated (R)-methadone levels can increase the risk of respiratory depression, while elevated (S)-methadone levels can increase the risk of severe cardiac arrhythmias due to prolonged QTc interval.
