Cytochrome P450 Enzymes in Oxygenation of Prostaglandin Endoperoxides and Arachidonic Acid: Cloning, Expression and Catalytic Properties of CYP4F8 and CYP4F21. Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from Faculty of Pharmacy 231 50 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91-554-4784-8. Cytochrome P450 (P450 or CYP) is an enzyme system involved in the oxygenation of a wide range of endogenous compounds as well as foreign chemicals and drugs. This thesis describes investigations of P450-catalyzed oxygenation of prostaglandins, linoleic and arachidonic acids. The formation of bisallylic hydroxy metabolites of linoleic and arachidonic acids was studied with human recombinant P450s and with human liver microsomes. Several P450 enzymes catalyzed the formation of bisallylic hydroxy metabolites. Inhibition studies and stereochemical analysis of metabolites suggest that the enzyme CYP1A2 may contribute to the biosynthesis of bisallylic hydroxy fatty acid metabolites in adult human liver microsomes. 19R-Hydroxy-PGE and 20-hydroxy-PGE are major components of human and ovine semen, respectively. They are formed in the seminal vesicles, but the mechanism of their biosynthesis is unknown. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction using degenerate primers for mammalian CYP4 family genes, revealed expression of two novel P450 genes in human and ovine seminal vesicles.

  • Inhibition of Cytochrome P450 2C8-Mediated Drug Metabolism by the Flavonoid Diosmetin

Diosmetin and hesperetin inhibited 6¡-hydroxy- paclitaxel production in a concentration-dependent manner, diosmetin being about 16-fold more potent than hesperetin (mean IC50 values 4.25 « 0.02 and 68.5 « 3.3 µM for diosmetin and hesperetin, respectively). Due to the low inhibitory potency of hesperetin, we characterized the mechanism of diosmetin-induced inhibition only. This flavonoid proved to be a reversible, dead-end, full inhibitor of CYP2C8, its mean inhibition constant (Ki)being3.13« 0.11 µM. Kinetic analysis showed that diosmetin caused mixed-type inhibition, since it significantly decreased the Vmax (maximum velocity) and increased the Km value (substrate concentration yielding 50% of Vmax) of the reaction. The results of kinetic analyses were consistent with those of molecular docking simulation, which showed that the putative binding site of diosmetin coincided with the CYP2C8 substrate binding site. The demonstration that diosmetin inhibits CYP2C8 at concentrations similar to those observed after in vivo administration (in the low micromolar range) is of potential clinical relevance, since it may cause pharmacokinetic interactions with co- administered drugs metabolized by this CYP.

Current methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) is yet to ensure 100% successful treatment as the optimum dosage has yet to be determined. Overdose leads to death while lower dose causes the opioid withdrawal effect. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in cytochrome P450s (CYPs), the methadone metabolizers, have been showen to be the main factor for the interindividual variability of methadone clinical effects. In this study, we investigated the effect of SNPs in three major methadone metabolizers ∗ ∗ ∗ (CYP2B6, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4) on methadone binding affinity.

Overuse of medications, especially in patients with chronic diseases, carries major health risks. One common consequence of polypharmacy is the increased emergence of adverse drug events, mainly from drug–drug interactions. The majority of currently available drugs are metabolized by CYP450 enzymes. Interactions due to shared CYP450-mediated metabolic pathways for two or more drugs are frequent, especially through reversible or irreversible CYP450 inhibition. The magnitude of these interactions depends on several factors, including varying affinity and concentration of substrates, time delay between the administration of the drugs, and mechanisms of CYP450 inhibition. Various types of CYP450 inhibition (competitive, non-competitive, mechanism-based) have been observed clinically, and interactions of these types require a distinct clinical management strategy. This review focuses on mechanism-based inhibition, which occurs when a substrate forms a reactive intermediate, creating a stable enzyme–intermediate complex that irreversibly reduces enzyme activity.

Multiple hydroxylation reactions in several tissues including liver and small intestine produce different forms of vitamin D3. Low serum vitamin D levels is a global problem which may origin from differential absorption following supplementation. The objective of the present study was to estimate the physicochemical properties, metabolism, transport and pharmacokinetic behavior of vitamin D3 derivatives following oral ingestion. GastroPlus software, which is an in silico mechanistically-constructed simulation tool, was used to simulate the physicochemical and pharmacokinetic behavior for twelve vitamin D3 derivatives. The Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion and Toxicity (ADMET) Predictor and PKPlus modules were employed to derive the relevant parameters from the structural features of the compounds. The majority of the vitamin D3 derivatives are lipophilic (log P values > 5) with poor water solubility which are reflected in the poor predicted bioavailability. The fraction absorbed values for the vitamin D3 derivatives were low except for calcitroic acid, 1,23S,25-trihydroxy-24-oxo-vitamin D3, and (23S,25R)-1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-26,23-lactone each being greater than 90% fraction absorbed.

Liggett Received: 7 October 2017; Accepted: 27 November 2017; Published: 1 December 2017 Abstract: The cytochrome P450 2A6 (CYP2A6) enzyme metabolizes several clinically relevant substrates, including nicotine—the primary psychoactive component in cigarette smoke. The gene that encodes the CYP2A6 enzyme is highly polymorphic, resulting in extensive interindividual variation in CYP2A6 enzyme activity and the rate of metabolism of nicotine and other CYP2A6 substrates including cotinine, tegafur, letrozole, efavirenz, valproic acid, pilocarpine, artemisinin, artesunate, SM-12502, caffeine, and tyrosol. CYP2A6 expression and activity are also impacted by non-genetic factors, including induction or inhibition by pharmacological, endogenous, and dietary substances, as well as age-related changes, or interactions with other hepatic enzymes, co-enzymes, and co-factors. As variation in CYP2A6 activity is associated with smoking behavior, smoking cessation, tobacco-related lung cancer risk, and with altered metabolism and resulting clinical responses for several therapeutics, CYP2A6 expression and enzyme activity is an important clinical consideration. This review will discuss sources of variation in CYP2A6 enzyme activity, with a focus on the impact of CYP2A6 genetic variation on metabolism of the CYP2A6 substrates.

In vitro studies to investigate the involvement of these enzymes are cumbersome because of the volatile nature of the intermediate metabolite tetrahydrothiophene (THT) and the lack of sensitive quantitation methods. This study explored the association between the CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2B6 and FMO3 genotypes and sulfolane (Su, a water soluble metabolite of Bu) plasma levels in children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The relationship between these genotypes and the effectiveness of myeloablative conditioning was also analyzed. Sixty-six children receiving an intravenous Bu-based myeloablative conditioning regimen were genotyped for common functional variant alleles in CYP2C9 (*2 and *3), CYP2C19 (*2 and *17), FMO3 (rs2266780, rs2266782 and rs1736557) and CYP2B6 (*5 and *9). The plasma levels of Bu and its metabolite Su were measured after the ninth Bu dose in a subset of 44 patients for whom plasma samples were available. The ratio of Bu to Su was considered the metabolic ratio (MR) and was compared across the genotype groups.

  • Recent Advances in P450 Research
    The Pharmacogenomics Journal (2001) 1, 178–186 2001 Nature Publishing Group All rights reserved 1470-269X/01 $15.00 www.nature.com/tpj REVIEW Recent advances in P450 research JL Raucy1,2 ABSTRACT SW Allen1,2 P450 enzymes comprise a superfamily of heme-containing proteins that cata- lyze oxidative metabolism of structurally diverse chemicals. Over the past few 1La Jolla Institute for Molecular Medicine, San years, there has been significant progress in P450 research on many fronts Diego, CA 92121, USA; 2Puracyp Inc, San and the information gained is currently being applied to both drug develop- Diego, CA 92121, USA ment and clinical practice. Recently, a major accomplishment occurred when the structure of a mammalian P450 was determined by crystallography.

Finally, the recent accomplishments towards constructing P450 null animals have afforded determination of the role of these enzymes in toxicity. Moreover, advances have been made towards the construction of humanized transgenic animals and plants. Overall, the outcome of recent developments in the P450 arena will be safer and more efficient drug ther- apies.
