| Sumario: | Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are involved in the biotransformation of chloroquine (CQ), but the role of the different profiles of metabolism of this drug in relation to Plasmodium vivax recurrences has not been properly investigated. To investigate the influence of the CYP genotypes associated with CQ metabolism on the rates of P. vivax early recurrences, a case-control study was carried out. The cases included patients presenting with an early recurrence (CQ-recurrent individuals), defined as a recurrence during the first 28 days after initial infection and plasma concentrations of CQ plus desethylchloroquine (DCQ; the major CQ metabolite) higher than 100 ng/ml. A control group with no parasite recurrence over the follow-up (the CQ-responsive group) was also included. CQ and DCQ plasma levels were measured on day 28. CQ-metabolizing CYP (CYP2C8, CYP3A4, and CYP3A5) genotypes were determined by real-time PCR. An ex vivo study was conducted to verify the efficacy of CQ and DCQ against P. vivax isolates. The frequency of alleles associated with normal and slow metabolism was similar between the cases and the controls for the CYP2C8 (odds ratio [OR] = 1.45, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.51 to 4.14, P = 0.570), CYP3A4 (OR = 2.38, 95% CI = 0.92 to 6.19, P = 0.105), and CYP3A5 (OR = 4.17, 95% CI = 0.79 to 22.04, P = 1.038) genes. DCQ levels were higher than CQ levels, regardless of the genotype. Regarding the DCQ/CQ ratio, there was no difference between groups or between those patients who had a normal genotype and those patients who had a mutant genotype. DCQ and CQ showed similar efficacy ex vivo CYP genotypes had no influence on early recurrence rates. The similar efficacy of CQ and DCQ ex vivo could explain the absence of therapeutic failure, despite the presence of alleles associated with slow metabolism. |
