Description

Background: Among depressed patients, escitalopram plasma levels differed between those who were considered as extensive metabolizers and poor metabolizers of CYP2C19. However, the majority of research utilized the dose-response relationship. Consequently, we investigated the effect of variations in the CYP2C19 gene on the levels of drug in the bloodstream of individuals suffering from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in south India.

Methods: A total of 109 individuals with MDD who were prescribed escitalopram at doses of 5, 10, 15, or 20 mg daily participated in this research. We used HPLC with SPD-10AVP UV-Visible detector to measure the escitalopram concentrations in the blood. The polymorphisms of the CYP2C19 were determined by employing the PCR techniques.

Results: Our study found that 55% of the subjects were intermediate metabolizers, followed by extensive (19.3%), poor (17.4%), and ultra-rapid (8.3%). The significant correlation is identified between the steady state plasma concentration and Sex with (P - Value < 0.05), insignificant correlation was seen in Age and BMI with (P - Value > 0.05). The majority of gene variants seen in the study population were CYP2C19*1/*2, accounting for 49 individuals (44.9%).

Conclusion: These findings showed that sex had a substantial impact on the CYP2C19 genetic variation. Medication administration to individuals with CYP2C19 PM requires special caution.
