Abstract: P450 2C9 is the most important drug metabolizing enzymes in humans.Polymorphisms in P450 2C9 gene produce variants at amino acid including P450 2C9 *2 and P450 2C9 *3.Metabolic capacities for P450 2C9 substrates are diminished by individuals of homozygous.P450 2C9 substrates mainly include tolbutamide, phenytoin, S-warfarin, fluoxetine, and losartan.P450 2C9 can be induced by rifampin and inhibited by amiodarone and fluconazole.

Key words: P450 2C9, genetic polymorphism, drug metabolism, pharmacogenetics
