- Abstract
Aims: To identify pharmacogenetic and demographic variables that influence the systemic exposure to metformin in an admixed Brazilian cohort. Methods: The extreme discordant phenotype was used to select 106 data sets from nine metformin bioequivalence trials, comprising 256 healthy adults. Eleven single‐nucleotide polymorphisms in SLC22A1, SLC22A2, SLC47A1 SLC47A2 and in transcription factor SP1 were genotyped and a validated panel of ancestry informative markers was used to estimate the individual proportions of biogeographical ancestry. Two‐step (univariate followed by multivariate) regression modelling was developed to identify covariates associated with systemic exposure to metformin, accessed by the area under the plasma concentration–time curve, between 0 and 48 h (AUC0–48h), after single oral doses of metformin (500 or 1000 mg). Results: The individual proportions of African, Amerindian and European ancestry varied widely, as anticipated from the structure of the Brazilian population The dose‐adjusted, log‐transformed AUC0–48h's (ng h ml−1 mg−1) differed largely in the two groups at the opposite ends of the distribution histogram, namely 0.82, 0.79–0.85 and 1.08, 1.06–1.11 (mean, 95% confidence interval; P = 6.10−26, t test). Multivariate modelling revealed that metformin AUC0–48h increased with age, food and carriage of rs12208357 in SLC22A1 but was inversely associated with body surface area and individual proportions of African ancestry. Conclusions: A pharmacogenetic marker in OCT1 (SLC22A1 rs12208357), combined with demographic covariates (age, body surface area and individual proportion of African ancestry) and a food effect explained 29.7% of the variability in metformin AUC0–48h.
