Blood samples were collected from volunteers for CYP3A4 genotyping using a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism （PCR-RFLP） assay. A pharmacokinetic study was then carried out in three groups with CYP3A4＊1/＊1 （n = 6）, CYP3A4＊1/＊18 （n = 6） and CYP3A4＊18/＊18 （n = 6） genotypes. Plasma levels of zolpidem were determined by HPLC-FLD method before and after a single oral dose of 10 mg zolpidem tartrate tablet. Significant differences were observed in the pharmacokinetic parameters of zolpidem among the three genotype groups （P〈0.05）. Compared with the CYP3A4＊1/＊1 group, the Cm,x of zolpidem in ＊1/＊18 and ＊18/＊18 groups （mean, 95% CI） was 0.89 （0.65-1.12） and 0.57 （0.47-0.66）, respectively, and the AUC0-1 in the ＊1/＊18 and ＊18/＊18 groups （mean, 95% CI） was 0.74 （0.22-1.26） and 0.61 （0.24-0.98）, respectively. There was a significant trend towards lower Cmax and AUC0-1 values of zolpidem in individuals with more CYP3A＊ 18 alleles, suggesting a gene-dosage effect. The study demonstrated that the CYP3A4＊ 18 allele played an important role in the pharmacokinetics of the zolpidem after oral administration.展开更多
