Abstract
Theophylline is a medicine with narrow therapeutic index. This implies that a small change in dosage would cause side effects. Theophylline is metabolized by CYP1A2 and CYP2E1. The aim of this review is to know the impact of CYP1A2 and CYP2E1 genes polymorphism on theophylline response. The review was done by searching literature in Pubmed and Science Direct databases with keywords 'polymorphism', 'pharmacogenetic', 'CYP1A2', 'CYP2E1' and 'theophylline'. There were 5 research articles from Pubmed and 65 articles (21 research articles, 23 review articles and 21 book chapters) from Science Direct. The exclusion criteria were - articles discussing about polymorphism but not CYP1A2 or CYP2E1, the ones with a mention of theophylline but not about its metabolism, articles on CYP1A2 and/or 2E1 polymorphism but not on the effect on theophylline. Thus, 33 articles were reviewed due to their suitability. The review discusses the influence of polymorphism of CYP1A2 and CYP2E1 genes on theophylline response.Entities:
