AIMS: To investigate the influence of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in exon 12 (C1236T), exon 21 (G2677T/A) and exon 26 (C3435T) of MDR1 gene on the absorption of valacyclovir after a single oral administration in the Chinese Han ethnic population. METHODS: Two hundred healthy Chinese subjects were genotyped for the SNPs of C1236T, G2677T/A and C3435T in the MDR1 gene using allele-specific polymerase chain reaction. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) was analysed. Twenty-four subjects derived from a large random sample (n = 200) received a single oral dose of 600 mg valacyclovir. Plasma concentrations of acyclovir were determined up to 14 h after administration to obtain a pharmacokinetic profile. RESULTS: LD existed between G2677T/A in exon 21 and C3435T in exon 26 (P < 0.001), between C1236T in exon 12 and C3435T (P < 0.001), but not between C1236T and G2677T/A (P > 0.05). C(max), AUC(0-1.5 h) and AUC(0-infinity) were used as indices of valacyclovir absorption. AUC(0-infinity) for the 2677TA genotype was 17.45 +/- 2.40 microg x h/ml, which was much higher compared with the 2677GG, GA and TT genotypes of 10.44 +/- 1.00, 11.84 +/- 2.83, 11.34 +/- 2.32 microg x h/ml, respectively (P < 0.05). Similarly, a statistically significant difference of AUC(0-infinity) was also observed for different linked genotypes at position 2677 vs. 3435, and 1236 vs. 3435 (P < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in valacyclovir absorptive pharmacokinetics between carriers and noncarriers of different haplotypes (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Three SNPs of MDR1 gene did not influence the absorption of a single oral dose of 600 mg valacyclovir in healthy Chinese Han ethnic subjects.
