Determination of isoniazid acetylation patterns in tuberculosis patients receiving DOT therapy under the Revised National tuberculosis Control Program (RNTCP) in India

Isoniazid is the most commonly used drug for treatment of tuberculosis, and is administered individually or in combination with other drugs as standard first line therapy.

description Isoniazid is the most commonly used drug for treatment of tuberculosis, and is administered individually or in combination with other drugs as standard first line therapy. Offsetting its efficacy, severe adverse effects, especially peripheral neuropathy and hepatotoxicity, are associated with isoniazid therapy, limiting its use in tuberculosis. Isoniazid is acetylated in vivo producing hydrazine and acetyl hydrazine, which are responsible for hepatotoxicity. Marked pharmacogenetic differences in acetylation have been reported among different population across the globe. This study evaluates isoniazid acetylation patterns in tuberculosis patients receiving DOT therapy under the Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program (RNTCP) in a specialized tuberculosis hospital in north India. Of 351 patients from whom samples were taken for biochemical analysis of adverse events, 36 were assessed for acetylation patterns. Blood samples were taken 1 h after administration of a 600 mg dose of isoniazid, and plasma concentrations of isoniazid were determined using a validated HPLC method. Of these 36 patients, 20 (55.56%) were slow acetylators and 16 (44.44%) were fast acetylators. Our results are consistent with those of an earlier study conducted in a different region of India. Most biochemical changes produced during long-term isoniazid therapy resolve after therapy is terminated.
