Preclinical Drug Metabolism in the Age of High-Throughput Screening: An Industrial Perspective

With the advent of genomics, combinatorial paradigms and high-throughput screen (HTS)-based pharmacological testing, the number of compounds flowing through the discovery pipeline is likely to escalate. At the same time, with increased knowledge of the human drug-metabolizing enzymes and the availability of in vitro absorption-metabolism (AM) models, Preclinical Drug Metabolism is poised to meet the challenges of HTS. In order to be successful, however, a rational HTS strategy (vs. serendipitous HTS) has to be employed. Such a strategy is based on automation, validation and integration of in vitroAM models and database management (AVID). A generalized strategy for rational (AVID-based) HTS in Preclinical Drug Metabolism is described briefly.

The effect of interleukin-1 on iron metabolism in rats

The effect of interleukin-1 on iron metabolism in rats was evaluated. Plasma iron decreased from 184 +/- 16 micrograms/dl (mean +/- SE) to 24 +/- 12 at 6 hours after interleukin-1 intramuscular administration in non-fasting rats and 109 +/- 6 micrograms/dl to 12 +/- 1 micrograms/dl in fasting rats, which was significantly lower than in control rats. Ferrokinetic studies showed a more rapid disappearance rate and lower iron turnover in interleukin-1-injected rats. The release of iron from the mononuclear phagocyte system to plasma was studied at 3 h after interleukin-1 administration. Although the percent of radioactivity in plasma of the total injected dose was 3.2 +/- 0.6% in interleukin-1, which was significantly lower than in the control rats (5.4 +/- 0.6%) at 9 h after intravenous injection of 59Fe chondroitin ferrous sulfate, there was no difference between the amount of 59Fe released from the mononuclear phagocyte system over the first 9 h in interleukin-1 and control rats. These data appear to imply that iron release is unimpaired but that, for some reason, there is an enhanced rate of clearance of the 59Fe once it has been released from the mononuclear phagocyte system into the plasma.     

Hepatic reticuloendothelial function during parenteral nutrition including an MCT/LCT or LCT emulsion after liver transplantation – a double-blind study

It has been demonstrated that total parenteral nutrition (TPN) modulates the function of the hepatic reticuloendothelial system (RES). The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of two different TPN lipid emulsions on the recovery of allograft RES function after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLTx). In a prospective, double-blind study, OLTx patients were randomly assigned to two treatment groups. Group I ( n=13) received a TPN regimen that included long-chain triglycerides (LCT). Group II ( n=9) received a TPN regimen that included a fat emulsion consisting of both medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) and LCT. At baseline, i.e., on days 2 or 3 after OLTx ( t1), before lipids for TPN were started, hepatic RES function was determined using the human serum albumin millimicrosphere technique (K-value, 1/min). A second measurement ( t2) was obtained after 7 days of TPN, including one of the study's two fat emulsions. The mean (+/- SD) K-value (1/min) was 0.48+/-0.16 in the LCT group and 0.55+/-0.28 in the MCT/LCT group at t1, and it improved to 0.62+/-0.21 in the LCT group and to 0.86+/-0.32 in the MCT/LCT group at t2. RES function recovery was significantly better in the MCT/LCT group ( P< or = 0.05). MCT/LCT emulsion appears to be the TPN fat emulsion of choice after OLTx as it seems to have less impact on hepatic RES recovery.     

Oxidative metabolism of lung macrophages exposed to sodium arsenite

Arsenic pollution has become increasingly severe. It occurs as the result of geological processes and different human activities. Arsenic toxicity at the respiratory level occurs mainly by inhalation of products of coal combustion. The aim of this study was to evaluate sodium arsenite (As³⁺) toxicity in murine alveolar macrophages (AMs) in vitro and its association with the alterations in cell metabolism.

No changes in viability, apoptosis or cell area were detected in AMs treated with As³⁺ concentrations up to 2 μM for 24–96 h. A marked decrease in these end-points was observed for As³⁺ concentrations ranging from 2.5 μM to 10 μM.

Regarding the dynamics of the endo-exocytic process triggered by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) cell incorporation, no variations were detected for As³⁺ concentrations lower than 2 μM while higher concentrations markedly modified this response.

MTT specific activity, as a measure of cell metabolic activity, was not modified irrespective of the As³⁺ concentration assayed. However, nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) specific activity, as a measure of superoxide anion generation, is responsive but only to low As³⁺ doses.

Although this study focuses on lung macrophages, the effects of As³⁺ described herein may also apply to the response of macrophages residing in other organs.

Arsenite modifies the metabolic and the oxidative status of AMs in vitro. When macrophages are in an As³⁺ rich medium, they exhibit a reduction in respiratory burst levels and lose their intrinsic capacity to respond to toxicants.

目的了解窒息新生儿在听觉刺激诱发脑神经活动时的脑氧合代谢和脑血流量的改变。 方法1998~2003年北京中日友好医院儿科选择窒息新生儿34例为窒息组，健康新生儿40名为对照组。使用近红外光谱仪，观察听觉刺激试验诱发的脑氧合血红蛋白\[Hb O2\]、还原血红蛋白\[Hb H\]和总血红蛋白\[Hb tot\]浓度的变化，并比较两组脑氧合代谢和脑血流量的改变。根据\[Hb O2\]、\[Hb H\]和\[Hb tot\]不同的变化，将氧合代谢曲线分为A(\[Hb O2\]、\[Hb H\]和\[Hb tot\]均增加)； B(\[Hb O2\]和\[Hb tot\]增加,\[Hb H\]降低)；C(\[Hb O2\]和\[Hb tot\]降低,\[Hb H\]增加)3种曲线类型。 结果窒息组中25例(25/34、73.5%)显示C型变化，对照组中28例(28/40、70.0%)显示A型变化，两组中A、C两型例数比较差异显著(P<0.05)。两组\[Hb O2\]和\[Hb tot\]数值变化幅度比较差异显著(P<0.05)。 结论窒息新生儿听觉刺激诱发相应皮层的神经活动时，显示局部脑血流量下降、氧合代谢降低，重度窒息儿更明显。
