Popis: Aim: To investigate the combined effects of SLCO1B1 and ABCB1 genotypes on the pharmacokinetics of simvastatin and its active metabolite simvastatin acid, in relation to CYP3A4 inhibition. Methods: We conducted a single-dose pharmacokinetic study of simvastatin in 26 healthy volunteers screened for their SLCO1B1 c.521T>C and ABCB1 c.1236C>T–2677G>T–3435C>T genotypes, with and without amlodipine pretreatment. The genetic effects and drug-interaction effect on simvastatin pharmacokinetic parameters were analyzed using a linear-mixed model. Results: The SLCO1B1 c.521T>C variant significantly increased exposure to simvastatin acid by around 40% (p < 0.05), similar to that caused by the amlodipine pretreatment. The ABCB1 gene showed no influence on exposure to simvastatin or simvastatin acid. Conclusion: Only SLCO1B1, not ABCB1 genotype, is likely to be associated with simvastatin-induced myopathy. SLCO1B1 genotyping may be particularly beneficial in simvastatin users who are co-administered CYP3A4 inhibitors.
