The fluoropyrimidines are the mainstay chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of many types of cancers. Detoxifying metabolism of fluoropyrimidines requires dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD, encoded by the DPYD gene), and reduced or absent activity of this enzyme can result in severe, and sometimes fatal, toxicity. We summarize evidence from the published literature supporting this association and provide dosing recommendations for fluoropyrimidines based on DPYD genotype (updates at http://www.pharmgkb.org).
氟嘧啶类药物是治疗多种癌症的主要化疗药物。氟嘧啶类药物的解毒代谢需要二氢嘧啶脱氢酶(DPD,由 DPYD 基因编码),而这种酶的活性降低或缺失可能导致严重甚至致命的毒性。我们总结了已发表文献中的证据,支持这种关联,并根据 DPYD 基因型为氟嘧啶类药物提供剂量建议(更新于 http://www.pharmgkb.org)。
