小克银汉霉菌对萘普生的微生物转化

目的：通过分离和鉴定萘普生由真菌转化生成的代谢产物,研究微生物转化和哺乳动物体内药物代谢之间的相似性．方法：选用3种小克银汉霉菌对萘普生进行微生物转化研究．采用液相色谱—质谱联用法检测代谢产物,并通过半制备高效液相色谱法分离出主要代谢物,经质谱和核磁共振光谱确证其结构．结果：萘普生被转化成去甲萘普生和去甲萘普生硫酸结合物,这两种代谢产物都是已知的哺乳动物代谢产物．其中去甲萘普生硫酸结合物是首次在微生物转化样品中发现．结论：小克银汉霉菌对萘普生的转化结果与哺乳动物的体内代谢有某些相似性,有可能成为一种新的体外模型进行药物代谢研究,用于预测和制备可能的药物代谢产物．

Microbial transformation of naproxen by Cunninghamella species

AIM: The metabolites of naproxen produced by Cunninghamella species were isolated and identified, and further to compare the similarities between microbial transformation and mammalian metabolism. METHODS: Naproxen was transformed by three strains of Cunninghammella species(Cunninghamella blakeslesna AS 3.153, Cunninghamella echinulata AS 3.2004, and Cunninghamella elegans AS 3.156). The metabolites of naproxen were separated and assayed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method. Semi-preparative HPLC was used to isolate the major metabolite, and the structure was identified by nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) and mass spectrometry. RESULTS: Naproxen was transformed into 2 metabolites, desmethylnaproxen and desmethylnaproxen-6-O-sulfate, both were the known mammalian metabolites. The conjugated metabolite was newly detected in microbial transformation samples. CONCLUSION: The microbial transformation of naproxen has some similarities with the metabolism of naproxen in mammals. The fungi belonging to Cunninghamella species could be used as complementary in vitro models for drug metabolism to predict and produce the metabolites of drugs in mammals.
