Cytochrome P450 Isoenzymes: Nursing Considerations

Maureen Applegate, RN, CS, MA, MS

The Indiana County Guidance Center, Suite 201, 699 Philadelphia St, Indiana, PA 15701.

Recent studies in pharmacology have focused on liver enzyme activity in the biotransformation of drugs. Among the 34 hepatic cytochrome P450 isoenzymes identifed to date, several have been found to be important in the metabolism of many psychoactive drugs and other agents. This article describes the role of cytochrome P450 isoenzymes in drug metabolism and potential drug-drug interactions and addresses nursing issues related to assessment, treatment, and patient education and safety.
