Protein Family Cytochrome P450 family
Protein Function
A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of fatty acids, steroids and retinoids (PubMed:18698000, PubMed:19965576, PubMed:20972997, PubMed:21289075, PubMed:21576599). 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:18698000, PubMed:19965576, PubMed:20972997, PubMed:21289075, PubMed:21576599). Catalyzes the epoxidation of double bonds of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) (PubMed:19965576, PubMed:20972997). Metabolizes endocannabinoid arachidonoylethanolamide (anandamide) to 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid ethanolamide (20-HETE-EA) and 8,9-, 11,12-, and 14,15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid ethanolamides (EpETrE-EAs), potentially modulating endocannabinoid system signaling (PubMed:18698000, PubMed:21289075). Catalyzes the hydroxylation of carbon-hydrogen bonds. Metabolizes cholesterol toward 25-hydroxycholesterol, a physiological regulator of cellular cholesterol homeostasis (PubMed:21576599). Catalyzes the oxidative transformations of all-trans retinol to all-trans retinal, a precursor for the active form all-trans-retinoic acid (PubMed:10681376). Also involved in the oxidative metabolism of drugs such as antiarrhythmics, adrenoceptor antagonists, and tricyclic antidepressants.

      Mechanism Description
  • Decreased metabolism of Eliglustat caused by Terbinafine mediated inhibition of CYP450 enzyme

Recommended Action
      Management The use of eliglustat in combination with one or more drugs that may result in moderate or potent inhibition of both CYP450 2D6 and 3A4 is considered contraindicated in CYP450 2D6 intermediate metabolizers (IMs) and extensive metabolizers (EMs). In the absence of a concomitant CYP450 3A4 inhibitor, eliglustat may be prescribed at a reduced dosage of 84 mg once daily to IMs and EMs treated with a potent or moderate CYP450 2D6 inhibitor. Poor metabolizers are not affected by CYP450 2D6 inhibition (since they already have minimal functional levels of the isoenzyme) and may also receive the reduced dosage of eliglustat, so long as they are not treated with a CYP450 3A4 inhibitor.
