The present article provides an overview of the metabolism and disposition of flavour substances by identifying general applicable principles of metabolism to illustrate how information on metabolic fate is taken into account in their safety evaluation. The metabolism of the majority of flavour substances involves a series both of enzymatic and non-enzymatic biotransformation that often results in products that are more hydrophilic and more readily excretable than their precursors. Flavours can undergo metabolic reactions, such as oxidation, reduction, or hydrolysis that alter a functional group relative to the parent compound. The altered functional group may serve as a reaction site for a sub- sequent metabolic transformation. Metabolic intermediates undergo conjugation with an endogenous agent such as glucuronic acid, sulphate, glutathione, amino acids, or acetate.

Abstract There is a requirement for the characterisation of the metabolism of xenobiotics in zebrafish larvae, due to the application of this organism to toxicity testing and ecotoxicology. Genes similar to mammalian cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1, CYP2B6, CYP3A5 and UDP- glucuronosyl-transferase (UGT) 1A1 were demonstrated to be expressed during normal embryonic development, with increased expression post hatching in Wik strain zebrafish larvae (72 hours post fertilisation, hpf). Activities towards ethoxy-resorufin, 7-ethoxy- coumarin and octyloxymethylresorufin, using an in vivo larval assay, were also detected in 96 hpf Wik strain zebrafish larvae, indicative of oxidative and conjugative metabolism. The expression of the identified genes was modulated upon exposure to Aroclor 1254, and the metabolic activities towards ethoxy-resorufin, 7-ethoxy-coumarin and octyloxymethylresorufin were observed to be inducible by exposure to in vitro inhibitors of CYP activities.

  • Conformational Changes in Binding of Substrates with Human Cytochrome P450 Enzymes
    Book of oral abstracts 100 Conformational changes in binding of substrates with human cytochrome P450 enzymes F. Peter Guengerich, Clayton J. Wilkey, Michael J. Reddish, Sarah M. Glass, and Thanh T. N. Phan Department of Biochemistry, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, TN, USA Introduction. Extensive evidence now exists that P450 enzymes can exist in multiple conformations, at least in the substrate-bound forms (e.g., crystallography). This multiplicity can be the result of either an induced fit mechanism or conformational selection (selective substrate binding to one of two or more equilibrating P450 conformations). Aims. Kinetic approaches can be used to distinguish between induced fit and conformational selection models. The same energy is involved in reaching the final state, regardless of the kinetic path. Methods. Stopped-flow absorbance and fluorescence measurements were made with recombinant human P450 enzymes. Analysis utilized kinetic modeling software (KinTek Explorer®). Results. P450 17A1 binding to its steroid ligands (pregnenolone and progesterone and the 17-hydroxy derivatives) is dominated by a conformational selection process, as judged by (a) decreasing rates of substrate binding as a function of substrate concentration, (b) opposite patterns of the dependence of binding rates as a function of varying concentrations of (i) substrate and (ii) enzyme, and (c) modeling of the data in KinTek Explorer. The inhibitory drugs orteronel and abiraterone bind P450 17A1 in multi-step processes, apparently in different ways. The dye Nile Red is also a substrate for P450 17A1 and its sequential binding to the enzyme can be resolved in fluorescence and absorbance changes. P450s 2C8, 2D6, 2E1, and 4A11 have also been analyzed with regard to substrate binding and utilize primarily conformational selection models, as revealed by analysis of binding rates vs.

Based on the experience of the scientists involved, a thorough survey of the literature on metabolically competent long-term culture models was performed. Following this, a prevalidation proposal for the use of the collagen gel sandwich hepatocyte culture system for drug metabolising enzyme induction was designed, focusing on the induction of the cytochrome P450 enzymes as the principal enzymes of inter- est. The ultimate goal of this prevalidation proposal is to provide industry and academia with a metabolically competent in vitro alternative for long-term studies.

  • Functional Genomics of the Bacterial Degradation of the Emerging Water Contaminants: 1,4-Dioxane and N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA)
    Functional genomics of the bacterial degradation of the emerging water contaminants: 1,4-dioxane and N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) by Christopher Michael Sales A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering-Civil and Environmental Engineering in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Lisa Alvarez-Cohen, Chair Professor Kara L. Nelson Professor Mary K. Firestone Spring 2012 Functional genomics of the bacterial degradation of the emerging water contaminants: 1,4-dioxane and N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) Copyright 2012 By Christopher Michael Sales Abstract Functional genomics of the bacterial degradation of the emerging water contaminants: 1,4-dioxane and N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) by Christopher Michael Sales Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering - Civil & Environmental Engineering University of California, Berkeley Professor Lisa Alvarez-Cohen, Chair The emerging water contaminants 1,4-dioxane and N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) are toxic and classified as probable human carcinogens. Both compounds are persistent in the environment and are highly mobile in groundwater plumes due to their hydrophilic nature. The major source of 1,4-dioxane is due to its use as a stabilizer in the chlorinated solvent 1,1,1-trichloroethane. The presence of NDMA as a water contaminant is related to the release of rocket fuels and its formation in the disinfection of water and wastewater. Prior studies have demonstrated that bacteria expressing monooxygenases are capable of degrading 1,4-dioxane and NDMA. While growth on 1,4-dioxane as a sole carbon and energy source has been reported in Pseudonocardia dioxanivorans CB1190 and Pseudonocardia benzenivorans B5, it is also co-metabolically degradable by a variety of monooxygenase-expressing strains.
