Article Abstract
Background: Hypertension is a result of complex factors including multiple genetic polymorphisms.
Objective: This study aims to check for the association of genetic polymorphisms of the cytochrome P450 2J2 (CYP 2J2) and beta-2-adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) genes with hypertension among Saudi subjects.
Subjects And Methods: This study included 116 cases with documented hypertension of at least 1 year duration. Their data were compared to that of 250 unrelated healthy nonhypertensive subjects from the same locality. For all participants, DNA was extracted and analyzed using real time polymerase chain reaction technique for the identification of genotypic and allelic variants of the CYP2J2 -50 G/T and ADRB2 G46A genes.
Results: Hypertensive cases showed a significantly higher frequency of mutant CYP2J2 -50 T allele carriage (TT and GT genotypes) compared with controls (odds ratio [OR]=3.7, p=0.0003). The same was observed among subgroups of hypertension associated with diabetes and obesity (OR=3.6, p=0.007) and cases with isolated hypertension (OR=8.4, p=0.0002). On the other hand, hypertensive cases, whether being isolated or associated with obesity and/or diabetes, showed a nonsignificant difference from controls in relation to all genotypic variants related to the ADRB2 G46A polymorphism (p>0.05).
Conclusion: This study showed positive association of CYP2J2 gene polymorphism with hypertension among Saudi cases.

Substrate inhibition potential of arachidonic acid on 14,15-epoxidation, a biological drug developmental target, mediated by recombinant human cytochrome P450 2J2 and 2C8 enzymes.

Arachidonic acid is metabolized to biologically active (±)14(15)-epoxy-5Z,8Z,11Z-eicosatrienoic acid (14,15-EET), and suppression of this step is believed to be a drug developmental target in cancer treatment. Although the key 14,15-epoxidation mediated by human cytochrome P450 (P450 or CYP) 2J2 has been demonstrated, inconsistencies in reported in vitro reaction kinetics have been observed worldwide. The purpose of this study was to clarify the detailed kinetics of arachidonic acid 14,15-expoxidation by recombinant human CYP2J2 and CYP2C8 using precise liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Introduction: One of the novel strategies in cancer treatment is the combination of conventional chemotherapeutic drugs and natural products. In a previous study, co-treatment of the anti-cancer drug cyclophosphamide (CP) with honey from giant honey bee () resulted to a dose-dependent increase in its cytotoxic effect in human lung carcinoma (A549) cells. However, the molecular mechanism of this combinatorial effect remains unknown.

Cannabichromene (CBC) is a nonpsychoactive phytocannabinoid well-known for its wide-ranging health advantages. However, there is limited knowledge regarding its human metabolism following CBC consumption. This research aimed to explore the metabolic pathways of CBC by various human liver cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes and support the outcomes using data from mice.

Background: There are evidence indicating that some metabolites of arachidonic acid produced by cytochromes P450 (CYP) and epoxide hydroxylase (EPHX2), such as hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs), epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) or dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (DHETEs), play an important role in blood pressure regulation and they could contribute to the development of hypertension (HT) and kidney damage. Therefore, the main aim of the study was to evaluate whether the genetic polymorphisms of CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2J2, CYP4F2, CYP4F11 and EPHX2, responsible for the formation of HETEs, EETs and DHETEs, are related to the progression of impaired renal function in a group of patients with hypertension.
Methods: 151HT patients from a hospital nephrology service were included in the study.

Herein, we aimed to determine the significance of drug interactions (DIs) between ritonavir and direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and identify the involved cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzymes. Using an in vitro cocktail method with human liver microsomes (HLM), we observed that ritonavir strongly inhibited CYPs in the following order: CYP3A, CYP2C8, CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2B6, and CYP2J2 (IC: 0.023-6.
