Impact of CES1 Genotype on Metabolism of Methylphenidate
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether differences in the gene coding for the liver enzyme carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) means differences in the metabolism of methylphenidate, a CES1 dependent drug.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Plasma concentration of methylphenidate and ritalinic acid [Predose and 3 hours post-dose]
We are looking at the ratio of methylphenidate to ritalinic acid (metabolite) 3 hours post-dose as a measure of CES1 activity.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Metabolomic Profile [Predose/pre-meal, predose/post-meal and 3 hours post-dose]
Three samples for each participant during the trials (as indicated above). Metabolomics will be assessed with focus on lipids (lipid platform) and with use of usual concentration measures (eg nanomolar (nM))
