Protein Function
A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of various endogenous substrates, including fatty acids and steroids (PubMed:7574697, PubMed:9866708, PubMed:9435160, PubMed:12865317, PubMed:15766564, PubMed:19965576, 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:7574697, PubMed:9866708, PubMed:9435160, PubMed:12865317, PubMed:15766564, PubMed:19965576, PubMed:21576599). Catalyzes the epoxidation of double bonds of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) (PubMed:7574697, PubMed:15766564, PubMed:19965576, PubMed:9866708). Catalyzes the hydroxylation of carbon-hydrogen bonds. Metabolizes cholesterol toward 25-hydroxycholesterol, a physiological regulator of cellular cholesterol homeostasis (PubMed:21576599). Exhibits low catalytic activity for the formation of catechol estrogens from 17beta-estradiol (E2) and estrone (E1), namely 2-hydroxy E1 and E2 (PubMed:12865317). Catalyzes bisallylic hydroxylation and hydroxylation with double-bond migration of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) (PubMed:9866708, PubMed:9435160). Also metabolizes plant monoterpenes such as limonene. Oxygenates (R)- and (S)-limonene to produce carveol and perillyl alcohol (PubMed:11950794). Contributes to the wide pharmacokinetics variability of the metabolism of drugs such as S-warfarin, diclofenac, phenytoin, tolbutamide and losartan (PubMed:25994031).

      Mechanism Description
  • Increased metabolism of Propofol caused by Dabrafenib mediated induction of CYP450 enzyme

Recommended Action
      Management Caution is advised when dabrafenib is prescribed with drugs that undergo metabolism by CYP450 3A4 and/or 2C9. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring may be appropriate for some drugs whenever dabrafenib is added to or withdrawn from therapy. Significantly reduced plasma concentrations and loss of efficacy may occur with sensitive substrates of CYP450 3A4 or 2C9 such as hormonal contraceptives, immunosuppressants (cyclosporine, everolimus, sirolimus, tacrolimus), ivacaftor, and warfarin-type anticoagulants. alternatives to these medications should be considered if possible.
