Identification of the rat liver cytochrome P450 enzymes involved in the metabolism of the calcium channel blocker dipfluzine hydrochloride

This study aimed to identify the specific cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes involved in the metabolism of dipfluzine hydrochloride using the combination of a chemical inhibition study, a correlation analysis and a panel of recombinant rat CYP450 enzymes. The incubation of Dip with rat liver microsomes yielded four metabolites, which were identified by liquid chromatography-coupled tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). The results from the assays involving eight selective inhibitors indicated that CYP3A and CYP2A1 contributed most to the metabolism of Dip, followed by CYP2C11, CYP2E1 and CYP1A2; however, CYP2B1, CYP2C6 and CYP2D1 did not contribute to the formation of the metabolites. The results of the correlation analysis and the assays involving the recombinant CYP450 enzymes further confirmed the above results and concluded that CYP3A2 contributed more than CYP3A1. The results will be valuable in understanding drug–drug interactions when Dip is coadministered with other drugs.     

Changes in cytochrome P450 enzymes by 1,1-dichloroethylene in rat liver and kidney

We examined the effect of 1,1-dichloroethylene (1,1-DCE) on microsomal cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes in rat liver and kidney. Rats were treated intraperitoneally with 1,1-DCE daily for 4 days, at doses of 200, 400, and 800 mg/kg. Among the P450-dependent monooxygenase activities in liver microsomes, testosterone 2α-hydroxylase (T2AH), which is associated with CYP2C11 activity, was remarkably decreased by 800 mg/kg 1,1-DCE. The level relative to control activity was <10%. Furthermore, immunoblotting showed that 1,1-DCE (≥400 mg/kg) significantly decreased CYP2C11/6 protein levels in liver microsomes. In addition, 7-methoxyresorufin O-demethylase (MROD), 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase (ECOD), benzphetamine N-demethylase (BZND), chlorzoxazone 6-hydroxylase (CZ6H), and testosterone 6β-hydroxylase (T6BH) activities were significantly decreased by the highest dose of 1,1-DCE (by 40–70%). However, the activities of other P450-dependent monooxygenases, namely 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD), 7-benzyloxyresorufin O-debenzylase (BROD), aminopyrine N-demethylase (APND), erythromycin N-demethylase (EMND), lauric acid ω-hydroxylase (LAOH), and testosterone 7α-hydroxylase (T7AH) were not affected by 1,1-DCE at any dose. Immunoblotting showed CYP1A1/2, CYP2B1/2, CYP2E1, and CYP3A2/1 protein levels were significantly decreased by 60–66% by 1,1-DCE (800 mg/kg), whereas that of CYP4A1/2 was not affected by any dose of 1,1-DCE. By contrast, among the P450-dependent monooxygenase activities in kidney microsomes, only CZ6H activity was increased by 1,1-DCE (1.6-fold at 800 mg/kg). Also, it was␣observed that 1,1-DCE (800 mg/kg) significantly increased CYP2E1 protein levels by immunoblotting (∼1.5-fold). These results suggest that 1,1-DCE changes the constitutive P450 isoforms in the rat liver and kidney, and that these changes closely relate to the toxicity of 1,1-DCE.

Suppression of male-specific cytochrome P450 isoforms by bisphenol A in rat liver

We examined the effect of bisphenol A (BPA) on microsomal cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes in rats. Rats were treated intraperitoneally with BPA daily for 4 days, at doses of 10, 20, and 40 mg/kg. Among the P450-dependent monooxygenase activities, testosterone 2α-hydroxylase (T2AH) and testosterone 6β-hydroxylase (T6BH) activities, which are associated with CYP2C11 and CYP3A2 respectively, were remarkably decreased by 40 mg/kg BPA. The levels of the control activities were 13 and 50%, respectively. Furthermore, immunoblotting showed that BPA (20 or 40 mg/kg) significantly reduced CYP2C11/6 and CYP3A2/1 protein levels in rat liver microsomes. In addition, estradiol 2-hydroxylase (ED2H) and benzphetamine N-demethylase (BZND) activities were significantly decreased by BPA at 20 and 40 mg/kg (by 19–73%). The K _m values for T2AH and T6BH in 20 and 40 mg/kg BPA-treated rats were significantly high compared with that in control rats. The V _max for T2AH was dose-dependently decreased by BPA treatment, whereas that of T6BH was only decreased by BPA at 40 mg/kg. On the other hand, lauric acid ω-hydroxylase (LAOH) activity was significantly increased by BPA at 20 and 40 mg/kg (1.5- and 1.7-fold, respectively). Immunoblot analysis showed that 20 and 40 mg/kg BPA induced CYP4A1/2 protein expression. However, the activities 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD), 7-methoxyresorufin O-demethylase (MROD), 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase (ECOD), 7-benzyloxyresorufin O-debenzylase (BROD), aminopyrine N-demethylase (APND), chlorzoxazone 6-hydroxylase (CZ6H), erythromycin N-demethylase (EMND), and testosterone 7α-hydroxylase (T7AH) were not affected by BPA at any dose. These results suggest that BPA affects male-specific P450 isoforms in rat liver, and that these changes closely relate to the toxicity of BPA.

Identification of cytochrome P450 isoforms involved in the metabolism of loperamide in human liver microsomes

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the cytochrome P450 (P450) isoform(s) involved in the metabolism of loperamide (LOP) to N-demethylated LOP (DLOP) in human liver microsomes. Methods: Three established approaches were used to identify the P450 isoforms responsible for LOP N-demethylation using human liver microsomes and cDNA-expressed P450 isoforms: (1) correlation of LOP N-demethylation activity with marker P450 activities in a panel of human liver microsomes, (2) inhibition of enzyme activity by P450-selective inhibitors, and (3) measurement of DLOP formation by cDNA-expressed P450 isoforms. The relative contribution of P450 isoforms involved in LOP N-demethylation in human liver microsomes were estimated by applying relative activity factor (RAF) values. Results: The formation rate of DLOP showed biphasic kinetics, suggesting the involvement of multiple P450 isoforms. Apparent K_m and V_max values were 21.1 M and 122.3 pmol/min per milligram of protein for the high-affinity component and 83.9 M and 412.0 pmol/min per milligram of protein for the low-affinity component, respectively. Of the cDNA-expressed P450 s tested, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4 catalyzed LOP N-demethylation. LOP N-demethylation was significantly inhibited when coincubated with quercetin (a CYP2C8 inhibitor) and ketoconazole (a CYP3A4 inhibitor) by 40 and 90%, respectively, but other chemical inhibitors tested showed weak or no significant inhibition. DLOP formation was highly correlated with CYP3A4-catalyzed midazolam 1-hydroxylation (r_s=0.829; P<0.01), CYP2B6-catalzyed 7-ethoxy-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin O-deethylation (r_s=0.691; P<0.05), and CYP2C8-catalyzed paclitaxel 6-hydroxylation (r_s=0.797; P<0.05). Conclusion: CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4 catalyze LOP N-demethylation in human liver microsomes, and among them, CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 may play a crucial role in LOP metabolism at the therapeutic concentrations of LOP. Coadministration of these P450 inhibitors may cause drug interactions with LOP. However, the clinical significance of potential interaction of LOP metabolism by CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 inhibitors should be studied further.     

Inhibition of cytochrome P450 enzymes by thymoquinone in human liver microsomes

The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential effect of thymoquinone (TQ) on the metabolic activity of four major drug metabolizing enzymes in human liver microsomes, namely cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4. The inhibition of CYP enzymatic activities by TQ was evaluated by incubating typical substrates (phenacetin for CYP1A2, tolbutamide for CYP2C9, dextromethorphan for CYP2D6, and testosterone for CYP3A4) with human liver microsomes and NADPH in the absence or presence of TQ (1, 10 and 100?µM). The respective metabolite of the substrate that was formed was measured by HPLC. Results of the presented study presented that the metabolic activities of all the investigated CYP enzymes, viz. CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4, were inhibited by TQ. At 1?µM TQ, CYP2C9 enzyme activity was maximally inhibited by 46.35%, followed by CYP2D6 (20.26%)?>?CYP1A2 (13.52%)?>?CYP3A4 (12.82%). However, at 10?µM TQ, CYP2C9 enzyme activity was maximally inhibited by 69.69%, followed by CYP3A4 (23.59%)?>?CYP1A2 (23.51%)?>?CYP2D6 (11.42%). At 100?µM TQ, CYP1A2 enzyme activity was maximally inhibited by 81.92%, followed by CYP3A4 (79.24%)?>?CYP2C9 (69.22%)?>?CYP2D6 (28.18%). The IC₅₀ (mean?±?SE) values for CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 inhibition were 26.5?±?2.9?µM, 0.5?±?0.4?µM, >500?µM and 25.2?±?3.1?µM, respectively. These findings suggest that there is a high probability of drug interactions resulting from the co-administration of TQ or herbs containing TQ with drugs that are metabolized by the CYP enzymes, particularly CYP2C9.     

Identification of P450 enzymes involved in metabolism of verapamil in humans

Summary The calcium channel blocker verapamil[2,8-bis-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-2-isopropyl-6-azaoctanitrile] is widely used in the treatment of hypertension, angina pectoris and cardiac arrythmias. The drug undergoes extensive and variable hepatic metabolism in man with the major metabolic steps comprising formation of D-617 [2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-5-methylamino-2-isopropylvaleronitrile] and norverapamil [2,8-bis-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-isopropyl-6-azaoxtanitrile]. The enzymes involved in metabolism of verapamil have not been characterized so far. Identification of these enzymes would enable estimation of both interindividual variability in verapamil metabolism introduced by the respective pathway and potential for metabolic interactions. We therefore characterized the enzymes involved in formation of D-617 and norverapamil.The maximum rate of formation of D-617 and norverapamil was determined in the microsomal fraction of 21 human livers which had been previously characterized for the individual expression of various P450 enzymes (CYP1A2, CYP2C, CYP2D6, CYP2E1 and CYP3A3/4) by means of Western blotting. Specific antibodies directed against CYP3A were used to inhibit formation of D-617 and norverapamil. Finally, formation of both metabolites was investigated in microsomes obtained from yeast cells which were genetically engineered for stable expression of human P450.Formation of D-617 was correlated with the expression of CYP3A (r=0.85; P<0.001) and CYP1A2 (r=0.57; P<0.01) in the microsomal fraction of 21 human livers after incubation with racemic verapamil. Formation of norverapamil was correlated with the expression of CYP3A (r=0.58; P<0.01) and CYP1A2 (r=0.5; P<0.05) in the same preparations after incubation with racemic verapamil. Antibodies against CYP3A reduced maximum rate of formation of D-617 (to 37.1±11% and 40.6±6.801o of control after incubation with S- and R-verapamil, respectively) and norverapamil (to 38.2±4.5% and 29.2±5.5% of control after incubation with S- and R-verapamil, respectively). Both D-617 and norverapamil were formed by stable expressed CYP3A4 (16.6 pmol/mg protein/min and 22.6 pmol/mg protein/min, respectively). In summary, formation of D-617 and norverapamil is catalyzed mainly by CYP3A4. D-617 is also formed by CYP1A2. Veraparnil therefore has the potential to interact with other drugs which are substrates or inducers of CYP3A and CYP1A2.Part of this work has been presented at the 32 Annual Spring Meeting of the German Society for Pharmacology and Toxicology, 1991, The abstract was published in Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology (1991) 343:R124 Correspondence to H.

Effect of 4-tert-octylphenol on cytochrome P450 enzymes in rat liver

The effects were studied of 4-tert-octylphenol (OP) on hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes in rats. Rats were treated intraperitoneally with OP twice, at doses of 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg. Among the cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenase activities, testosterone 2α-hydroxylase activity, which is associated with CYP2C11, was significantly decreased by OP at all doses. The level relative to control activity was 67–22%. CYP3A2-dependent monooxygenase, testosterone 6β-hydroxylase activity was also decreased by 51% by OP at 20 mg/kg. Furthermore, immunoblotting showed that OP (10 or 20 mg/kg) significantly decreased CYP2C11/6 and CYP3A2/1 protein levels. However, the reduction ratio of CYP2C11/6 and CYP3A2/1 protein levels by OP treatment was lower than that of testosterone 2α-hydroxylase and testosterone 6β-hydroxylase activities. The Cl _int (V _max/K _m) value for testosterone 2α-hydroxylase was significantly decreased by OP at all doses, whereas the Cl _int value for testosterone 6β-hydroxylase was only decreased by OP at 20 mg/kg. In addition, 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase activity was significantly decreased by 32% by the highest dose of OP. By contrast, CYP1A1-, CYP1A2-, CYP2A1-, CYP2B1/2-, CYP2D1-, CYP2E1- and CYP4A1/2/3- dependent monooxygenase activities were not affected by OP at any dose. These results suggest that OP changes the male-specific cytochrome P450 isoforms in rat liver, and that these changes closely relate to the toxicity of OP.

Metabolism and effect of para-toluene-sulfonamide on rat liver microsomal cytochrome P450 from in vivo and in vitro studies

AIM: To study the in vivo and in vitro metabolism and the effect of para-toluene-sulfonamide (PTS) on cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP450). METHODS: Total CYP450 and microsome protein content were determined after iv pretreatment of rats with PTS. CYP-specific substrates were incubated with rat liver microsomes. Specific CYP isoform activities were determined by using HPLC. CYP chemical inhibitors added to the incubation mixture were used to investigate the principal CYP isoforms involved in PTS metabolism. The effect of PTS on CYP isoforms was investigated by incubating PTS with specific substrates. RESULTS: The groups treated with 33 and 99 mg/kg per d PTS, respectively, had a total CYP content of 0.66+/-0.17 and 0.60+/-0.12 nmol/mg. The K(m) and V(max) were 92.2 micromol/L and 0.0137 nmol/min per mg protein. CYP2C7, CYP2D1 and CYP3A2 might contribute to PTS metabolism in the rat liver. The inhibitory effects of sulfaphenazole and ketoconazole on PTS metabolism were shown to have a mixed mechanism, whereas PTS metabolism was inhibited noncompetitively by quinidine. PTS had little effect on the activities of the selected CYP isoforms. CONCLUSION: Generally speaking, it is relatively safe for PTS to be co-administered with other drugs. However, care should be taken when administering PTS with CYP inhibitors and the substrates of CYP2C, CYP2D and CYP3A.     

Characterization of the cytochrome P450 isoenzymes involved in the in vitroN-dealkylation of haloperidol

Aims The present study was carried out to identify the cytochrome P450 isoenzyme(s) involved in the N-dealkylation of haloperidol (HAL). Methods In vitro studies were performed using human liver microsomes and c-DNA-expressed human P450 isoforms. N-dealkylation of HAL was assessed by measuring the formation of 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-hydroxypiperidine (CPHP). Results There was a tenfold variation in the extent of CPHP formation amongst the nine human liver microsomal preparations. The CPHP formation rates as a function of substrate concentration, measured in three livers, followed monophasic enzyme kinetics. K_m and V_max values ranged respectively from 50 to 78 μm and from 180 to 412 pmol mg⁻¹ min⁻¹. CPHP formation rates in the nine liver preparations were significantly correlated with dextromethorphan N-demethylase activity (a marker of CYP3A4 activity), but not with the activity of dextromethorphan O-demethylase (CYP2D6), phenacetin O-deethylase (CYP1A2) or tolbutamide hydroxylase (CYP2C9). Ketoconazole, an inhibitor of CYP3A4, inhibited competitively CPHP formation (K_i=0.1 μm ), whereas sulphaphenazole (CYP2C9), furafylline (CYP1A2) and quinidine (CYP2D6) gave only little inhibition (IC₅₀>100 μm ). CPHP formation was, moreover, enhanced by α-naphtoflavone, an effect common to CYP3A4 mediated reactions. Anti-CYP3A4 antibodies strongly inhibited CPHP formation, whereas no inhibition was observed in the presence of CYP2D6 antibodies. Among the recombinant human CYP isoforms tested, CYP3A4 exhibited the highest activity with respect to CPHP formation rate, with no detectable effect of other CYP isoforms (CYP1A2, CYP2D6 and CYP2C9). HAL inhibited dextromethorphan O-demethylase (CYP2D6) with IC₅₀ values between 2.7 and 8.5 μm, but not (IC₅₀>100 μm ) dextromethorphan N-demethylase (CYP3A4), phenacetin O-deethylase (CYP1A2) or tolbutamide hydroxylase (CYP2C9). Conclusions These results strongly suggest that the N-dealkylation of HAL in human liver microsomal preparations is mediated by CYP3A4.

多氯联苯诱导的六种鼠肝微粒体细胞色素P450重组酶系A_1,A_2,B,C_1,C_2和D对33种外来化合物代谢的催化速率不同,其中以C_1酶系和C_2酶系催化活力最强,其次为A_1酶系,B酶系催化活力最弱,外来化合物的种类不同,经重组酶系催化的途径也不同,如卤代烷烃,卤代烯烃,苯及其同系物,亚硝胺类等化合物主要经P450C_1酶系代谢,而大多数有机磷酸酯,氨基甲酸酯类化合物及多环芳烃类致癌物则以P450 C_2酶系代谢为主。
