## Abstract ## Objective Angiotensin II (Ang II) is known to have proinflammatory actions, and Ang II type 1 (AT~1~) receptors are upβregulated in the rheumatoid synovium, suggesting that this receptor could be a therapeutic target. The purpose of this study was to investigate the antiinflammatory

β¦ Synopsis
Pharmacogenomics is a revolution in molecular medicine, especially in view of the development of microarray technologies and proteomics to monitor gene and protein expression. The ability to monitor up to 60,000 potential parameters in a clinical setting gives a whole new meaning to 1) toxic effects, 2) side effects, 3) primary and secondary targets, and 4) drug resistance and nonresponders during a clinical trial. Pharmacogenomics may set a new standard to monitor the effects of drugs such as NSAIDS or disease-modifying drugs in diseases such as arthritis. The present article outlines a pharmacogenomics clinical protocol that is in progress, a study that will address some of the above questions. Drug Dev. Res.
