Summary

The cytochrome P450 iso-enzyme system plays a key role in the biotransformation of many drugs, including psychotropics. Its activity is determined by both genetic and environmental factors. The most important iso-enzymes for psychiatry in general are P450 IID6, 3A4 and 1A2. Knowledge about the involvement of these enzymes and biotransformation processes is mandatory because of the individual variability in their metabolic capacity. Regular measurement of plasmaconcentrations of (psycho)pharmacological compounds is therefore essential. In addition, the potential value of pheno- and/or genotyping has to be investigated.
