Abstract

Enzymes of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) subfamily 3A and 2C play a major role in the metabolism of taxane anticancer agents. While their function in hepatic metabolism of taxanes is well established, expression of these enzymes in solid tumors may play a role in the in situ metabolism of drugs as well, potentially affecting the intrinsic taxane susceptibility of these tumors. This article reviews the available literature on intratumoral expression of docetaxel- and paclitaxel-metabolizing enzymes in mammary, prostate, lung, endometrial, and ovarian tumors. Furthermore, the clinical implications of the intratumoral expression of these enzymes are reviewed and the potential of concomitant treatment with protease inhibitors (PIs) as a method to inhibit CYP3A4-mediated metabolism is discussed.
