This study was designed to evaluate a comparative single dose (40mg) pharmacokinetics (PK) of Omeprazole (OMP) and its two metabolites, 5-hydroxy Omeprazole (5-OH-OMP) and Omeprazole sulphone (OMP-S) in poor (PM) and extensive (EM) metabolizer Pakistani healthy adult volunteers. The frequency of CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 varies widely in different populations. The present study was conducted to evaluate the PK of OMP and its two metabolites in Pakistani population and to review different studies conducted after administration of single dose of OMP. Twenty two subjects were enrolled in this study and divided into two groups. The CYP2C19 phenotyping was evaluated by the metabolic ratio of OMP to 5-OH-OMP. It was a single dose, open label study and the blood samples from subjects were collected at different time intervals until 24 hours. The PK parameters were calculated using the PK-summit software. The metabolic ratio of area under the plasma concentration-time curve AUCOMP/5-OH-OMP was 1.86 ± 0.572 and13.84 ± 2.504 for EM and PM, respectively; maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of OMP was increased by two folds for PM while the AUC∞ was increased by 3 folds; the Cmax and AUC∞ of 5-OH-OMP decreased for PM by 2 folds while there was 3 fold increase observed in the Cmax and AUC∞ of OMP-S. The PK of OMP and its metabolites in different populations were also discussed, and issues regarding CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 genotyping were also extensively reviewed. In EM of CYP2C19 the concentration of 5-OH-OMP is higher while that of OMP-S is lower. This study as well as reported studies reveals that in PM of CYP2C19 more drugs are available for CYP3A4 to be metabolized. A correlation between CYP2C19 EM and PM activity with CYP3A4 needs to be established.
