1 Interindividual variation in the pharmacokinetics of Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol as related to genetic polymorphisms in CYP2C9. Dronabinol cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily C member 9 Homo sapiens
2 The impact of the CYP2C9 polymorphism on the pharmacokinetics of orally administered 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) was studied in 43 healthy volunteers. Dronabinol cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily C member 9 Homo sapiens
3 However, the median area under the curve of THC was threefold higher and that of 11-nor-9-carboxy-9-tetrahydrocannabinol was 70% lower in CYP2C9*3/*3 homozygotes than in CYP2C9*1/*1 homozygotes. Dronabinol cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily C member 9 Homo sapiens
4 CYP2C9*3 carriers also showed a trend toward increased sedation following administration of THC. Dronabinol cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily C member 9 Homo sapiens
5 Therefore, the CYP2C9*3 variant may influence both the therapeutic and adverse effects of THC. Dronabinol cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily C member 9 Homo sapiens
