No significant influence of OCT1 genotypes on the pharmacokinetics of morphine in adult surgical patients

We investigated the impact of genetic variants in OCT1 (SLC22A1) on morphine, morphine-3-glucuronide (M3G) and morphine-6-glucuronide (M6G) pharmacokinetics in adult patients scheduled for major surgery. Blood samples were taken before and 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90 min after a bolus of morphine (0.15 mg/kg). Patients were genotyped for the genetic variants (rs12208357, rs34059508, rs72552763 and rs34130495) in OCT1. Eighty-six patients...
