Metabolism of Clozapine by cDNA-Expressed Human Cytochrome P450 Enzymes

Kristian Linnet and Ole V. Olesen

Institute for Basic Psychiatric Research, Department of Biological Psychiatry, Psychiatric Hospital in Aarhus, Aarhus University Hospital

The metabolism of clozapine was studied in vitro using cDNA-expressed human cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes 1A2, 3A4, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 2E1. CYP1A2, 3A4, 2C9, 2C19, and 2D6 were able to N-demethylate clozapine. N-Oxide formation was exclusively catalyzed by CYP3A4. CYP2E1 did not metabolize clozapine. With regard to quantitative relationships, CYP1A2, 2C9, 2C19, and 2D6 displayed KM values ranging from 13 to 25 µM, whereas CYP3A4 had a 5-10 times higher KM value. CYP2C19 and 2D6 had the highest Vmax values (149-366 mol/hr/mol CYP). Taking into account the typical relative distribution of amounts of CYP enzymes in the liver, a simulation study suggested that at therapeutic concentrations CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 each accounted for about 35% of the metabolism. At toxic concentrations, the relative importance of CYP3A4 increased.
