CYP1A2 induction

A variety of medications and environmental factors may induce CYP1A2.

Medications. Certain medications may induce CYP1A2, including carbamazepine, phenytoin, rifampin, and primidone.

Cigarette smoking. A significant increase in smoking after 1 to 3 weeks may decrease drug levels, whereas a significant decrease in smoking after 1 to 3 weeks may result in elevated drug levels.3 Nicotine is not the causative agent of induction, but rather hydrocarbons found in cigarette smoke.11

Diet. An increase in daily dietary intake of certain vegetables for 6 days has been shown to result in induction.3 Brassica (Cruciferae) vegetables such as broccoli (2 cups), cauliflower (1 cup), cabbage (1 cup), and radish sprouts (1/2 cup) have been found to increase CYP1A2 activity by 18% to 37%.10 Grilled meat also plays a role in induction.10
