The purpose of this literature review is to comprehensively summarize changes in the expression of phase II drug-metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters in both the pregnant woman and the placenta. Using PubMed®, a systematic search was conducted to identify literature relevant to drug metabolism and transport in pregnancy. PubMed was searched with pre-specified terms during the period of 26 May 2023 to 10 July 2023. The final dataset of 142 manuscripts was evaluated for evidence regarding the effect of gestational age and hormonal regulation on the expression of phase II enzymes (n = 16) and drug transporters (n = 38) in the pregnant woman and in the placenta. This comprehensive review exposes gaps in current knowledge of phase II enzyme and drug transporter localization, expression, and regulation during pregnancy, which emphasizes the need for further research. Moreover, the information collected in this review regarding phase II drug-metabolizing enzyme and drug transporter changes will aid in optimizing pregnancy physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models to inform dose selection in the pregnant population.
