Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate drug interactions between mycophenolic acid (MPA), the active metabolite of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and tacrolimus, as well as the impact of CYP3A5 and UGT2B7 genetic polymorphisms on these drug interactions in 71 Japanese renal transplant recipients.Methods: Recipients received combination immunosuppressive therapy consisting of tacrolimus and MMF. On day 28 after transplantation, the concentrations of MPA and tacrolimus were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography and microparticle enzyme immunoassay respectively.Results: Acute rejection was over twice more common in recipients with a total area under the observed plasma concentration-time curve (AUC(0-12)) of MPA < 70 mu g.h/mL than in those with higher values AUC(0-12) values (17% vs. 7%).Using this cut-off AUC value, sensitivity was 70.6% and specificity 55.6% for acute rejection (AR). There was no change in AUC(0-12), maximum plasma concentration, trough plasma concentration, or oral clearance of tacrolimus with variation in dosage or AUC of MPA. There were also no significant differences in the MPA pharmacokinetic parameters among three tacrolimus C-0 groups: 5
