Data from: Developmental expression of drug metabolizing enzymes: impact on disposition in neonates and young children

Profound changes in drug metabolizing enzyme expression occurs during development that impacts drug efficacy and the risk of adverse events in the neonate and young child. A review of our current knowledge suggests individual hepatic drug metabolizing enzymes can be categorized into one of three classes based on developmental trajectories. The time frame for the perinatal changes observed for both Class 1 and Class 3 enzymes varies considerably between different enzymes. However, for a given enzyme, significant interindividual variation is observed in the timing of the perinatal changes, creating windows of hypervariability. Genetic variation clearly impacts drug disposition in children. However, developmental factors can dominate pharmacogenetic factors. Thus, a major challenge in applying pharmacogenomics to improve pediatric drug safety is determining at what age functional genetic variants identified in adults become a major determinant of expression in children. Developmental and genetic data on drug metabolizing enzyme ontogeny, as well as age-dependent changes in other physiological factors impacting drug disposition, can be integrated into physiologically-based pharmacokinetic models. Such models have proven useful in predicting the range of expected metabolic capacities at a given age.Xenobiotic Metabolizing Enzyme Ontogeny Master DatabaseA Microsoft Excel file containing three data sheets of individual donor data: Enzyme Specific Content, Enzyme Specific Activity, GenotypeXME Ontogeny Master Database.xlsxXenobiotic Metabolizing Enzme Specific ContentA comma separated format file containing individual enzyme specific content donor dataXME Specific Content.csvXenobiotic Metabolizing Enzyme Specific ActivityA comma separated file containing individual enzyme specific activity donor dataXME Specific Activity.csvXenobiotic Metabolizing Enzyme GenotypeA comma separated format file containing individual genotype information for individual donors.XME Genotype.cs
