Abstract
Pharmacometabolomics is a new and rapidly growing field in life science, which use metabolomics for studying drug effects and variation in drug response. Recently, it has been widely used in individualized medicine research. The research process of pharmacometabolomic can be divided into three parts: metabolomic study of baseline samples, drug response analysis after drug administration and statistical analysis. By combining the baseline information on metabotype of an individual with the drug response phenotype after drug exposure, pharmacometabolomic method can be used to predict the efficacy and toxicity of drugs, which providing the theoretical basis for individualized medical treatment. In this paper, we give an overview of present studies in the application of pharmacometabolomics for predicting the individualized drug response. Besides, we also summarized the specific research processes and pharmacometabolomic methods.
