Protein Function
A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) (PubMed:18577768, PubMed:19965576, PubMed:20972997). Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate, and reducing the second into a water molecule, with two electrons provided by NADPH via cytochrome P450 reductase (NADPH--hemoprotein reductase) (PubMed:18577768, PubMed:19965576, PubMed:20972997). Catalyzes the hydroxylation of carbon-hydrogen bonds. Hydroxylates PUFA specifically at the omega-1 position (PubMed:18577768). Catalyzes the epoxidation of double bonds of PUFA (PubMed:20972997, PubMed:19965576). Also metabolizes plant monoterpenes such as limonene. Oxygenates (R)- and (S)-limonene to produce carveol and perillyl alcohol (PubMed:11950794). Responsible for the metabolism of a number of therapeutic agents such as the anticonvulsant drug S-mephenytoin, omeprazole, proguanil, certain barbiturates, diazepam, propranolol, citalopram and imipramine. Hydroxylates fenbendazole at the 4' position (PubMed:23959307).

      Mechanism Description
  • Decreased metabolism of Phenytoin caused by Ticlopidine mediated inhibition of CYP450 enzyme

Recommended Action
      Management Given their narrow therapeutic index, caution is advised if phenytoin or other hydantoins must be used concomitantly with ticlopidine. Hydantoin levels and pharmacologic effects should be closely monitored and the dosage adjusted accordingly, particularly following initiation, discontinuation or change of dosage of ticlopidine in patients who are stabilized on their anticonvulsant regimen. Patients should be advised to contact their physician if they develop signs of phenytoin toxicity such as ataxia, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and visual disturbances.
