Identification
- Summary
Phenytoin is an anticonvulsant drug used in the prophylaxis and control of various types of seizures.
- Brand Names
- Dilantin, Phenytek
- Generic Name
- Phenytoin
- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB00252
- Background
Phenytoin is classified as a hydantoin derivative and despite its narrow therapeutic index, it is one of the most commonly used anticonvulsants.12,6,8 Since it's introduction about 80 years ago, phenytoin has not only been established as an effective anti-epileptic, but has also been investigated for several other indications such as bipolar disorder, retina protection, and wound healing.7,6
Clinicians are advised to initiate therapeutic drug monitoring in patients who require phenytoin since even small deviations from the recommended therapeutic range can lead to suboptimal treatment, or adverse effects.8,10 Both parenteral and oral formulations of phenytoin are available on the market.8

Phenytoin is an anticonvulsant with a narrow therapeutic index.5 Although the recommended therapeutic range is cited to be between 10-20 mg/L, differences in albumin levels, genetics, comorbidities, and body composition can make achieving an ideal phenytoin dose challenging.5 For example, studies have confirmed that phenytoin metabolism is impacted by CYP2C9 genotype polymorphisms and possibly by CYP2C19 genotype polymorphisms (the latter has not been as extensively studied).5
It is worth nothing that although phenytoin is highly protein bound, only the fraction unbound is able to exert a pharmacological effect.17 Therefore, factors that reduce or increase the percentage of protein bound phenytoin (for example: concomitant administration of drugs that can cause displacement from protein binding sites) can have a marked impact on phenytoin therapy.4,17
- Mechanism of action
Although phenytoin first appeared in the literature in 1946, it has taken decades for the mechanism of action to be more specifically elucidated.7 Although several scientists were convinced that phenytoin altered sodium permeability, it wasn’t until the 1980’s that this phenomenon was linked to voltage-gated sodium channels.7
Phenytoin is often described as a non-specific sodium channel blocker and targets almost all voltage-gated sodium channel subtypes.7 More specifically, phenytoin prevents seizures by inhibiting the positive feedback loop that results in neuronal propagation of high frequency action potentials.5,8,9

Given its narrow therapeutic index, therapeutic drug monitoring is recommended to help guide dosing.8,10 Phenytoin is completely absorbed.8 Peak plasma concentration is attained approximately 1.5-3 hours, and 4-12 hours after administration of the immediate release formulation and the extended release formulation, respectively.3,8 It should be noted that absorption can be markedly prolonged in situations of acute ingestion.8
- Volume of distribution
The volume of distribution of phenytoin is reported to be approximately 0.75 L/kg.11
- Protein binding
Phenytoin is roughly 90% protein bound.4
- Metabolism
Phenytoin is extensively metabolized and is first transformed into a reactive arene oxide intermediate.12 It is thought that this reactive intermediate is responsible for many undesirable phenytoin adverse effects such as hepatotoxicity, SJS/TEN, and other idiosyncratic reactions.12 The arene oxide is metabolized to either a hydroxyphenytoin or phenytoin dihydrodiol metabolite, although the former accounts for about 90% of phenytoin metabolism.12
Interestingly, two stereoisomers of the hydroxyphenytoin metabolite are formed by CYP2C9 and CYP2C19: (R)-p-HPPH and (S)-p-HPPH.12 When CYP2C19 catalyzes the reaction, the ratio of stereoisomers is roughly 1:1, whereas when CYP2C9 catalyzes the reaction, the ratio heavily favours the "S" stereoisomer.12 Since the metabolism of phenytoin is in part influenced by genetic polymorphisms of CYP2C9 and CYP2C19, this ratio can be utilized to identify different genomic variants of the enzymes.5,6,12
EPHX1, CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2C19, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, CYP2E1 and CYP3A4 are responsible for producing the phenytoin dihydrodiol metabolite.12
Hydroxyphenytoin can be metabolized by CYP2C19, CYP3A5, CYP2C9, CYP3A4, CYP3A7, CYP2B6 and CYP2D6 to a phenytoin catechol metabolite or undergo glucuronidation by UGT1A6, UGT1A9, UGT1A1, and UGT1A4 to a glucuronide metabolite that can be eliminated in the urine.12 On the other hand, the phenytoin dihydrodiol entity is only transformed to the catechol metabolite.12
The catechol metabolite can undergo methylation by COMT and be subsequently eliminated in the urine, or can spontaneously oxidize to a phenytoin quinone (NQO1 can transform the quinone back to the catechol metabolite).12
Of note, although CYP2C18 is poorly expressed in the liver, the enzyme is active in the skin and is involved in the primary and secondary hydroxylation of phenytoin.12,13 This CYP2C18 mediated bioactivation may be linked to the manifestation of adverse cutaneous drug reactions associated with phenytoin.12

- Route of elimination
The majority of phenytoin is excreted as inactive metabolites in the bile.14,16 An estimated 1-5% of phenytoin is eliminated unchanged in the urine.8
- Half-life
Oral administration: The half-life of phenytoin ranges from 7 to 42 hours, and is 22 hours on average.11,14
Intravenous administration: The half-life of phenytoin ranges from 10-15 hours.16
- Clearance
The clearance of phenytoin is non-linear.10 At lower serum concentrations (less than 10 mg/L), elimination is characterized by first order kinetics.3 As plasma concentrations increase, the kinetics shift gradually towards zero-order, and finally reach zero-order kinetics once the system is saturated.3

The experience of phenytoin toxicity is not limited to situations of acute ingestion, but may also occur due to drug interactions or due to physiological circumstances that impact serum albumin (ie. kidney disease) or drug metabolism.3 Other changes that may result in phenytoin toxicity include pregnancy, malnutrition and malignancy.3
Phenytoin toxicity most often affects the cardiovascular and nervous systems.3 The most common presentation of toxicity depends on the route of administration.3 Cardiovascular adverse effects are most commonly linked to intravenous phenytoin administration, whereas neurological adverse effects are more common with oral phenytoin administration.3
Neurotoxicity is usually dependent on serum concentrations.3 When concentrations range from 10-20 mg/L, mild nystagmus and lateral gaze may occur, while more significant nystagmus is associated with concentrations ranging from 20-30 mg/L.3 At concentrations of 30-40 mg/L, slurred speech, tremor, nausea, vomiting and ataxia have been reported.3 In more serious cases where serum levels range from 40-50 mg/L patients are at risk of lethargy, confusion and hyperactivity, and at levels beyond 50 mg/L, coma and seizures may occur.3
Phenytoin is classified as an antiarrhythmic and can cause SA and AV nodal blocks as well as dysrhythmias due to its effect on voltage-gated sodium channels.3 Further, since phenytoin is poorly soluble, the parenteral form is administered with propylene glycol, which is a cardiac depressant.3 The infusion rate of parenteral phenytoin should not exceed 50 mg per minute due to the risk of hypotension, bradycardia, and asystole.3
Treatment for phenytoin toxicity is non-specific and centres around supportive care.3 One dose of activated charcoal may be used to prevent phenytoin absorption in cases of acute ingestion.3
Although hemodialysis is moderately effective at removing phenytoin, it is not normally recommended due to the risks associated with the procedure, and the general effectiveness of supportive care.3

- Pore-forming subunit of Nav1.5, a voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channel that directly mediates the depolarizing phase of action potentials in excitable membranes. Navs, also called VGSCs (voltage-gated sodium channels) or VDSCs (voltage-dependent sodium channels), operate by switching between closed and open conformations depending on the voltage difference across the membrane. In the open conformation they allow Na(+) ions to selectively pass through the pore, along their electrochemical gradient. The influx of Na(+) ions provokes membrane depolarization, initiating the propagation of electrical signals throughout cells and tissues (PubMed:1309946, PubMed:21447824, PubMed:23085483, PubMed:23420830, PubMed:25370050, PubMed:26279430, PubMed:26392562, PubMed:26776555). Nav1.5 is the predominant sodium channel expressed in myocardial cells and it is responsible for the initial upstroke of the action potential in cardiac myocytes, thereby initiating the heartbeat (PubMed:11234013, PubMed:11804990, PubMed:12569159, PubMed:1309946). Required for normal electrical conduction including formation of the infranodal ventricular conduction system and normal action potential configuration, as a result of its interaction with XIRP2 (By similarity)

- Mediates the voltage-dependent sodium ion permeability of excitable membranes. Assuming opened or closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane, the protein forms a sodium-selective channel through which Na(+) ions may pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient (PubMed:14672992). Plays a key role in brain, probably by regulating the moment when neurotransmitters are released in neurons. Involved in sensory perception of mechanical pain: activation in somatosensory neurons induces pain without neurogenic inflammation and produces hypersensitivity to mechanical, but not thermal stimuli

Channel properties are modulated by cAMP and subunit assembly (PubMed:10837251). Characterized by unusual gating kinetics by producing relatively small outward currents during membrane depolarization and large inward currents during subsequent repolarization which reflect a rapid inactivation during depolarization and quick recovery from inactivation but slow deactivation (closing) during repolarization (PubMed:10219239, PubMed:10753933, PubMed:10790218, PubMed:10837251, PubMed:11997281, PubMed:12063277, PubMed:18559421, PubMed:22314138, PubMed:22359612, PubMed:26363003, PubMed:27916661, PubMed:9230439, PubMed:9351446, PubMed:9765245). Channel properties are modulated by cAMP and subunit assembly (PubMed:10837251). Forms a stable complex with KCNE1 or KCNE2, and that this heteromultimerization regulates inward rectifier potassium channel activity (PubMed:10219239, PubMed:9230439)

Mediates influx of calcium ions into the cytoplasm, and thereby triggers calcium release from the sarcoplasm (By similarity). Plays an important role in excitation-contraction coupling in the heart. Required for normal heart development and normal regulation of heart rhythm (PubMed:15454078, PubMed:15863612, PubMed:17224476, PubMed:24728418, PubMed:26253506). Required for normal contraction of smooth muscle cells in blood vessels and in the intestine. Essential for normal blood pressure regulation via its role in the contraction of arterial smooth muscle cells (PubMed:28119464).

- Regulatory subunit of multiple voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels directly mediating the depolarization of excitable membranes. Navs, also called VGSCs (voltage-gated sodium channels) or VDSCs (voltage-dependent sodium channels), operate by switching between closed and open conformations depending on the voltage difference across the membrane. In the open conformation they allow Na(+) ions to selectively pass through the pore, along their electrochemical gradient. The influx of Na+ ions provokes membrane depolarization, initiating the propagation of electrical signals throughout cells and tissues (PubMed:14622265, PubMed:15525788, PubMed:18464934, PubMed:19710327, PubMed:29992740, PubMed:36696443, PubMed:8125980, PubMed:8394762). The accessory beta subunits participate in localization and functional modulation of the Nav channels (PubMed:15525788, PubMed:19710327, PubMed:29992740). Modulates the activity of SCN1A/Nav1.1, SCN2A/Nav1.2, SCN3A/Nav1.3, SCN4A/Nav1.4, SCN5A/Nav1.5, SCN8A/Nav1.6, SCN9A/Nav1.7 and SCN10A/Nav1.8 (PubMed:14622265, PubMed:15525788, PubMed:18464934, PubMed:30765606, PubMed:36696443, PubMed:8125980, PubMed:8394762)

- Pore-forming subunit of Nav1.3, a voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channel that directly mediates the depolarizing phase of action potentials in excitable membranes. Navs, also called VGSCs (voltage-gated sodium channels) or VDSCs (voltage-dependent sodium channels), operate by switching between closed and open conformations depending on the voltage difference across the membrane. In the open conformation they allow Na(+) ions to selectively pass through the pore, along their electrochemical gradient. The influx of Na+ ions provokes membrane depolarization, initiating the propagation of electrical signals throughout cells and tissues (PubMed:24157691, PubMed:28235671, PubMed:29466837, PubMed:35277491). In some secretory cell types, it also participates in cell excitability through membrane depolarization and regulates cells responsiveness to stimuli triggering secretion. For instance, it controls the release of serotonin/5-hydroxytryptamine by enterochromaffin cells and is required for both glucagon- and glucose-induced insulin secretion in pancreatic endocrine cells (By similarity)

- Alpha subunit of the heteropentameric ligand-gated chloride channel gated by Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain (PubMed:23909897, PubMed:25489750, PubMed:29950725, PubMed:30602789). GABA-gated chloride channels, also named GABA(A) receptors (GABAAR), consist of five subunits arranged around a central pore and contain GABA active binding site(s) located at the alpha and beta subunit interface(s) (PubMed:29950725, PubMed:30602789). When activated by GABA, GABAARs selectively allow the flow of chloride anions across the cell membrane down their electrochemical gradient (PubMed:23909897, PubMed:29950725, PubMed:30602789). Alpha-1/GABRA1-containing GABAARs are largely synaptic (By similarity). Chloride influx into the postsynaptic neuron following GABAAR opening decreases the neuron ability to generate a new action potential, thereby reducing nerve transmission (By similarity). GABAARs containing alpha-1 and beta-2 or -3 subunits exhibit synaptogenic activity; the gamma-2 subunit being necessary but not sufficient to induce rapid synaptic contacts formation (PubMed:23909897, PubMed:25489750). GABAARs function also as histamine receptor where histamine binds at the interface of two neighboring beta subunits and potentiates GABA response (By similarity). GABAARs containing alpha, beta and epsilon subunits also permit spontaneous chloride channel activity while preserving the structural information required for GABA-gated openings (By similarity). Alpha-1-mediated plasticity in the orbitofrontal cortex regulates context-dependent action selection (By similarity). Together with rho subunits, may also control neuronal and glial GABAergic transmission in the cerebellum (By similarity)

- A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the biosynthesis of adrenal corticoids (PubMed:12530636, PubMed:1518866, PubMed:1775135, PubMed:18215163, PubMed:23322723). Catalyzes a variety of reactions that are essential for many species, including detoxification, defense, and the formation of endogenous chemicals like steroid hormones. Steroid 11beta, 18- and 19-hydroxylase with preferred regioselectivity at 11beta, then 18, and lastly 19 (By similarity). Catalyzes the hydroxylation of 11-deoxycortisol and 11-deoxycorticosterone (21-hydroxyprogesterone) at 11beta position, yielding cortisol or corticosterone, respectively, but cannot produce aldosterone (PubMed:12530636, PubMed:1518866, PubMed:1775135, PubMed:18215163, PubMed:23322723). Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate for hydroxylation and reducing the second into a water molecule. Two electrons are provided by NADPH via a two-protein mitochondrial transfer system comprising flavoprotein FDXR (adrenodoxin/ferredoxin reductase) and nonheme iron-sulfur protein FDX1 or FDX2 (adrenodoxin/ferredoxin) (PubMed:18215163). Due to its lack of 18-oxidation activity, it is incapable of generating aldosterone (PubMed:23322723). Could also be involved in the androgen metabolic pathway (Probable)

- Flavin-containing quinone reductase that catalyzes two-electron reduction of quinones to hydroquinones using either NADH or NADPH as electron donors. In a ping-pong kinetic mechanism, the electrons are sequentially transferred from NAD(P)H to flavin cofactor and then from reduced flavin to the quinone, bypassing the formation of semiquinone and reactive oxygen species (By similarity) (PubMed:8999809, PubMed:9271353). Regulates cellular redox state primarily through quinone detoxification. Reduces components of plasma membrane redox system such as coenzyme Q and vitamin quinones, producing antioxidant hydroquinone forms. In the process may function as superoxide scavenger to prevent hydroquinone oxidation and facilitate excretion (PubMed:15102952, PubMed:8999809, PubMed:9271353). Alternatively, can activate quinones and their derivatives by generating redox reactive hydroquinones with DNA cross-linking antitumor potential (PubMed:8999809). Acts as a gatekeeper of the core 20S proteasome known to degrade proteins with unstructured regions. Upon oxidative stress, interacts with tumor suppressors TP53 and TP73 in a NADH-dependent way and inhibits their ubiquitin-independent degradation by the 20S proteasome (PubMed:15687255, PubMed:28291250)

- Binds water, Ca(2+), Na(+), K(+), fatty acids, hormones, bilirubin and drugs (Probable). Its main function is the regulation of the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood (Probable). Major zinc transporter in plasma, typically binds about 80% of all plasma zinc (PubMed:19021548). Major calcium and magnesium transporter in plasma, binds approximately 45% of circulating calcium and magnesium in plasma (By similarity). Potentially has more than two calcium-binding sites and might additionally bind calcium in a non-specific manner (By similarity). The shared binding site between zinc and calcium at residue Asp-273 suggests a crosstalk between zinc and calcium transport in the blood (By similarity). The rank order of affinity is zinc > calcium > magnesium (By similarity). Binds to the bacterial siderophore enterobactin and inhibits enterobactin-mediated iron uptake of E.coli from ferric transferrin, and may thereby limit the utilization of iron and growth of enteric bacteria such as E.coli (PubMed:6234017). Does not prevent iron uptake by the bacterial siderophore aerobactin (PubMed:6234017)

- Mediates the Na(+)-independent high affinity transport of organic anions such as the thyroid hormones L-thyroxine (T4), L-thyroxine sulfate (T4S), and 3,3',5'-triiodo-L-thyronine (reverse T3, rT3) at the plasma membrane (PubMed:12351693, PubMed:18566113, PubMed:19129463). Regulates T4 levels in different brain regions by transporting T4, and also by serving as an export pump for T4S, which is a source of T4 after hydrolysis by local sulfatases (PubMed:18566113). Increases the access of these substrates to the intracellular sites where they are metabolized by the deiodinases (PubMed:18566113). Other potential substrates, such as triiodothyronine (T3), 17-beta-glucuronosyl estradiol (17beta-estradiol 17-O-(beta-D-glucuronate)), estrone-3-sulfate (E1S) and sulfobromophthalein (BSP) are transported with much lower efficiency (PubMed:12351693, PubMed:19129463). Transports T4 and E1S in a pH-insensitive manner (PubMed:19129463). Facilitates the transport of thyroid hormones across the blood-brain barrier and into glia and neuronal cells in the brain (PubMed:30296914)

- Translocates drugs and phospholipids across the membrane (PubMed:2897240, PubMed:35970996, PubMed:8898203, PubMed:9038218). Catalyzes the flop of phospholipids from the cytoplasmic to the exoplasmic leaflet of the apical membrane. Participates mainly to the flop of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, beta-D-glucosylceramides and sphingomyelins (PubMed:8898203). Energy-dependent efflux pump responsible for decreased drug accumulation in multidrug-resistant cells (PubMed:2897240, PubMed:35970996, PubMed:9038218)

- ATP-dependent transporter of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family that binds and hydrolyzes ATP to enable active transport of various substrates including many drugs, toxicants and endogenous compound across cell membranes. Transports a wide variety of conjugated organic anions such as sulfate-, glucuronide- and glutathione (GSH)-conjugates of endo- and xenobiotics substrates (PubMed:10220572, PubMed:10421658, PubMed:11500505, PubMed:16332456). Mediates hepatobiliary excretion of mono- and bis-glucuronidated bilirubin molecules and therefore play an important role in bilirubin detoxification (PubMed:10421658). Mediates also hepatobiliary excretion of others glucuronide conjugates such as 17beta-estradiol 17-glucosiduronic acid and leukotriene C4 (PubMed:11500505). Transports sulfated bile salt such as taurolithocholate sulfate (PubMed:16332456). Transports various anticancer drugs, such as anthracycline, vinca alkaloid and methotrexate and HIV-drugs such as protease inhibitors (PubMed:10220572, PubMed:11500505, PubMed:12441801). Confers resistance to several anti-cancer drugs including cisplatin, doxorubicin, epirubicin, methotrexate, etoposide and vincristine (PubMed:10220572, PubMed:11500505)
