Newer antidepressants and the cytochrome P450 system
CB Nemeroff, CL DeVane and BG Pollock
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA 30322, USA.
OBJECTIVE: This review evaluates the in vitro and in vivo evidence for
inhibition of cytochrome P450 enzymes by the newer antidepressants and
provides clinical recommendations for avoiding and managing drug
interactions. METHOD: The international literature on the cytochrome P450
system and related drug interactions from 1966 to 1995 was reviewed. In
vitro studies, pharmacokinetic trials in human subjects, and case reports
were assessed. RESULTS: The newer antidepressants each inhibit a different
cluster of cytochrome P450 enzymes, which are of relevance to the potential
for drug interactions. Cytochrome P450 1A2 is inhibited by fluvoxamine and
is implicated in drug interactions with theophylline, clozapine, and
others. Fluoxetine, norfluoxetine, sertraline, and paroxetine are potent in
vitro inhibitors of cytochrome P450 2D6 and are capable of causing marked
elevations in plasma desipramine and nortriptyline concentrations.
Fluoxetine, sertraline, and fluvoxamine are believed to inhibit cytochrome
P450 2C because of observed interactions with phenytoin, diazepam, and
other drugs metabolized by these enzymes. Cytochrome P450 3A4 metabolizes
terfenadine, astemizole, carbamazepine, alprazolam, triazolam, and other
benzodiazepines. Plasma concentrations of these drugs have increased when
they are administered with fluvoxamine, nefazodone, fluoxetine, and
sertraline. CONCLUSIONS: The majority of the newer antidepressants are
associated with a risk for clinically significant drug interactions. A
rapidly growing body of literature provides evidence for a distinct profile
of cytochrome P450 inhibition and drug interaction risks by individual
antidepressants. These findings underscore the need for definitive in vivo
interaction studies of plasma from phenotyped patients treated with
clinically effective antidepressant doses of medication, for direct
comparative clinical studies, and for studies assessing the utility of
phenotyping in clinical practice.
