Gene Name CYP2A6
Uniprot ID CP2A6_HUMAN
KEGG Pathway hsa:1548
Protein Family Cytochrome P450 family
Protein Function
Exhibits a high coumarin 7-hydroxylase activity. Can act in the hydroxylation of the anti-cancer drugs cyclophosphamide and ifosphamide. Competent in the metabolic activation of aflatoxin B1. Constitutes the major nicotine C-oxidase. Acts as a 1,4-cineole 2-exo-monooxygenase. Possesses low phenacetin O-deethylation activity.

      Mechanism Description
  • Decreased metabolism of Acetaminophen caused by Fenofibrate mediated inhibition of CYP450 enzyme

Recommended Action
      Management Until more information is available, caution is advised if fenofibrate is used concomitantly with drugs that are substrates of CYP450 2C19, 2A6, or 2C9 isoenzymes, particularly those with a narrow therapeutic range. Dosage adjustments as well as clinical and laboratory monitoring should be considered whenever fenofibrate is added to or withdrawn from therapy with these drugs. Patients should be monitored for the development of adverse effects.
