Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The effects of CYP2C9*1/*3 and *3/*3 genotypes on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of meloxicam were evaluated in healthy Korean subjects. METHODS: After oral administration of 15 mg meloxicam, the plasma concentrations of meloxicam were assessed in 11 CYP2C9*1/*1 individuals, eight CYP2C9*1/*3 individuals, and three CYP2C9*3/*3 individuals. The pharmacodynamic effects were determined by measuring thromboxane B2 generated in blood. RESULTS: A nine-fold lower apparent oral clearance and an eight-fold higher AUC0-∞ of single-dose meloxicam were observed in CYP2C9*3/*3 individuals when compared with CYP2C9*1/*1 individuals. CYP2C9*3/*3 individuals also showed markedly increased inhibition of thromboxane B2 generation by meloxicam. CONCLUSION: These results indicate that CYP2C9*3/*3 individuals may be at a higher risk for concentration-dependent adverse effects during long-term treatment with standard doses of meloxicam.
