About

Pharmacogenetics is an area of Pharmacology that studies the contribution of genetic factors to individual responses to drugs. This branch of science involves the variability in pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics through the study of polymorphisms in genes encoding receptors, as well as in drug metabolism, where this area of Pharmacology has been growing and achieving its first results with clinical use. The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDS) are metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) family, predominantly CYP2C9. The goal of this study is to evaluate the different gene haplotypes for the clinical efficacy of piroxicam after third lower molar surgery for pain, edema and trismus, adverse reactions, need of rescue medication, patient satisfaction regarding the drug and the pharmacokinetics of the drug between the different gene haplotypes for CYP2C9 that are found in this population. Therefore, 60 patients will be genotyped and phenotyped for this gene and their postoperative data will be confronted with the data found in the Brazilian population. For the analysis of the proposed gene, saliva will be collected and serve as a source of genomic DNA. For the molecular analysis, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with tests validated and produced by Applied Biosystems® will be performed. For the pharmacokinetics, saliva samples will be collected at various times according to protocols available in the literature, and piroxicam concentrations in the samples will be measured by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC MS/MS). The analysis of the results will be described with a significance level of 0.05.

Full description

Lower third molars (with high degree of difficulty) surgeries will be performed in Clinical Pharmacology Laboratory at the Bauru School of Dentistry - University of São Paulo (FOB-USP), which will be provided to patients daily doses of piroxicam 20 mg 4 days. Thus collect data related to pain, swelling, trismus, amount of rescue medication required by patients, overall assessment and satisfaction about taking medicine, saliva samples for the analysis of the pharmacokinetics of the drug, genotyping and phenotyping of the subjects of the research.

The global clinical evaluation along with genotyping and phenotyping these individuals can show us if there is an influence not only in adverse effects, but also in the therapeutic effects of the drug in the Brazilian population. Research of this nature are rare in this area of Clinical Pharmacogenetics and can be of great help in prescribing these drugs to control pain and inflammation.After the removal of third molars will make collecting 6 mL of saliva in several post-surgical moments for analysis of the pharmacokinetics of the drug piroxicam and 10 mL of saliva for the analysis of genetic material. It is noteworthy that this project will initiate the nucleation of a new line of research in college, the first in Pharmacogenetics area conducted in FOB / USP.Will be assessed the following parameters in all patients after surgery of at least a third lower molar with a high degree of difficulty (Annexes 1, 2 and 3): 1) onset and duration of surgery after the administration of the local anesthetic, 2) open mouth prior to surgery, on the 2nd day after the surgery and on the 7th day after surgery (removal of stitches); 3) measured the facial edema in the second day after surgery and on the 7th day after surgery (compared to the measurements obtained before surgery); 4) body temperature before surgery, on the 2nd day after the operation and on the 7th day after surgery (removal of stitches); 5) incidence, type and severity of adverse reactions, 6) plug pain (VAS - visual analog scale) filled by patients for 4 days after prescription Piroxicam; 7) amount of rescue medication required by patients.

The comparative analysis of the data, along with data on the pharmacokinetics of the drug, genotyping and phenotyping the CYP2C9 gene, provide the basis for evaluation of the influence of the gene in clinical efficacy, side effects and need for relief medication required by patients after surgery third- molars with a high degree of difficulty, which was prescribed as anti-inflammatory piroxicam.
