Abstract: As one of major cytochrome P450s, CYP2D6 is responsible for many important drugs' metabolism.The genetic polymorphism of CYP2D6 is the basis of significant individual variability in the metabolism of drugs.Meanwhile, many drugs can influence the activity of CYP2D6 by competitive inhibition or induction, which is easy to cause interaction in coadministration.So we will investigate the relations of genetic polymorphism of CYP2D6 to drug interactions from such aspects as phenotype, competitive inhibition of substrates, induction or inhibition of CYP2D6.

Key words: CYP2D6, genetic polymorphism, drug interactions, inhibition, induction
