Definitions
- Breast cancer is the most common non-cutaneous cancer in women in the Western world; the lifetime risk of developing invasive breast cancer in the United States is 12.6 percent (one in eight women). Jemal et al. (2008) CA Cancer J Clin 58:71-96. Two-thirds of breast cancer patients are estrogen receptor (ER)-positive and candidates for tamoxifen therapy, the drug used most worldwide for the prevention and treatment of hormone receptor- positive breast cancer. Aromatase inhibitors have become the first choice for adjuvant therapy in post-menopausal women with ER-positive breast cancer.
- tamoxifen is the only hormonal agent approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the prevention of breast cancer, the treatment of ductal carcinoma in situ, and the treatment of pre-menopausal breast cancer.
- FDA United States Food and Drug Administration
- Tamoxifen is also the hormonal agent most commonly employed in the treatment of early and advanced male breast cancer.
- Tamoxifen (Z-l-(p-Dimethylaminoethoxyphenyl)-l,2-diphenyl-l-butene) is a prodrug that is converted to its therapeutically active metabolites, E-, Z- and Z' -4-hydroxy-N- desmethyltamoxifen (endoxifen) isomers and E-, Z- and Z' -4-hydroxy-tamoxifen (4-OH- Tam) isomers.
- tamoxifen is demethylated by the cytochrome (CYP) P450 enzyme CYP3A4/5 to N-desmethyl-Tam, which is then hydroxylated to Z-endoxifen by CYP2D6 and to Z' -endoxifen by an unknown hepatic enzyme ( Figure 1).
- Z-endoxifen and Z-4-OH-Tam both have an approximately 100-fold greater affinity for the ER and a 30- to 100-fold greater potency in suppressing estrogen-dependent cell proliferation.
- the anti-estrogenic activities of the Z isomers of endoxifen and 4-OH-Tam are equivalent, while the Z' ⁇ endoxifen and Z' -4-OH-Tam are estimated to have about 10% of their Z isomer activity based upon in vitro studies.
- the anti-estrogenic effects of endoxifen and 4-OH-Tam and presumably their Z and Z' isomers are suppression of ER-dependent proliferation of breast cancer cells, modulation of ER-mediated global gene expression, and ER degradation Lim et al. (2006) J Pharmacol Exp Ther 318:503-512.
- the CYP2D6 gene is highly polymorphic, with more than 100 alleles having been identified to date (htt ://www .cypalleles .ki.se; Algeciras-Schimnich et al., 2008, Clin. Lab. Med. 28:553-567).
- normal functional alleles include CYP2D6*1 , *2 and *35.
- Homozygous normal individuals are classified phenotypically as extensive metabolizers (EM).
- Duplicated normal alleles are classified as ultra-rapid metabolizers (UM).
- Inactive alleles include CYP2D6*3-*8, * 11-* 16, *18-*21, *31, *38, *40, *42 and *44.
- PM poor metabolizer
- Reduced function alleles include CYP2D6*9, *10, *17, *29, *41 and *69.
- Individuals having genotypes with one active and one inactive allele, or one inactive and one reduced function allele, or two reduced function alleles are classified phenotypically as intermediate metabolizers (IM), although those with one inactive and one reduced function allele also may be considered poor metabolizers (PM).
- IM intermediate metabolizers
- each CYP2D6 allele is assigned a value that reflects its expected enzymatic activity.
- Fully functional CYP2D6 alleles (*1, *2, *2A) have a score of 1, and duplication of any of these alleles are given a score of 2.0.
- Alleles associated with reduced enzyme activity (*9, *10, *17 and *41) are scored as 0.5, and CYP2D6 null alleles (*3-*8 ,*11, *12, *14 and *15) and their duplications are scored a 0.
- the MPA score for and individual is the sum of their scores for both CYP2D6 alleles, which ranges between 0 and 3.0.
