Olanzapine metabolism and the significance of UGT1A448V and UGT2B1067Y variants

Abstract

The UGTs 1A4 and 2B10 glucuronidate olanzapine and functional variants of these UGTs significantly alter olanzapine glucuronidation in vitro. These data suggest that the UGT1A4*3 and UGT2B10*2 alleles contribute significantly to interindividual variability in olanzapine metabolism.
