Omeprazole sulfone is the major metabolite of the gastric proton pump inhibitor, omeprazole [1]. The Proton Pump Inhibitor, Omeprazole, is a metabolism-dependent inhibitor of CYP2C19 with a relatively low incidence of adverse events and pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions (DDIs) [1]. Omeprazole sulfone is produced by cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A4 sulfoxidation of esomeprazole and has been found in plasma [2]. Cytochrome P450 was once believed to be mainly a hepatic drug detoxication system, but is now understood to include a myriad of enzymic reactions implicated in important life processes. Mutations in many CYP genes cause inborn errors of metabolism and lead to many clinically relevant diseases [3].

In vitro: Omeprazole sulfone has been shown to act as a reversible direct-acting and metabolism-dependent inhibitor of CYP2C19 in pooled human liver microsomes with an IC50 of 18 μM [1].

In vivo: Three hours after intake of 20 mg omeprazole only, the geometric mean plasma concentration of omeprazole sulfone were 106 nmol/l in 22 samples from subjects known to be extensive CYP2C19 metabolizers (EM) and 672 nmol/l in the five subjects known to be poor CYP2C19 metabolizers (PM). The mean log10(omeprazole/omeprazole sulfone) ratio was 0.18 [4].
