To improve the metabolic stability of 3, which exhibited both in vitro antitumor activity and in vivo efficacy by both iv and po administration, we designed and synthesized new taxane analogues. Most of the synthetic compounds maintained excellent antitumor activity and were scarcely metabolized by human liver microsomes. And some compounds exhibited potent antitumor effects against B16 melanoma BL6 in vivo by both iv and po administration similarly to 3. 相似文献

The mutagenic compound derived from the pyrolysis of tryptophan, 3-amino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido-[4,3b]indole (Trp-P-2) was metabolized by rat liver microsomes to more than four metabolites, separable by high performance liquid chromatography. Among these metabolites, two metabolites, M-3 and M-4 were directly active in increasing the frequency of mutation in Salmonella typhimurium TA98. Treatments of rats with polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) or 3-methylcholanthrene dramatically induced the activity of liver microsomes to form these active metabolites, while treatment with phenobarbital was without effect. A major active metabolite (M-3) formed the pentacyano-ammine ferroate, which is known to be formed by reaction of sodium pentacyano-ammine ferroate with some hydroxylamines. Further this metabolite was oxidized to the minor active metabolite (M-4) with potassium ferricyanide or γ-manganese dioxide, and was reduced back to Trp-P-2 with titanium trichloride. These results indicated that the major active metabolite of Trp-P-2, which is formed by cytochrome P-450, is the 3-hydroxyamino derivative. 相似文献

Aroclor 1254-induced rat liver homogenate supernatant (liver S-9) is routinely used as an exogenous metabolic activation system for the evaluation of mutagenicity of xenobiotics. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether results obtained with Aroclor 1254-induced liver microsomes would be relevant to human. Aroclor 1254-induced and uninduced rat liver microsomes were compared to human liver microsomes in the metabolism of substrates which are known to be selectively metabolized by the major human cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms. The activities studied and the major CYP isoforms involved were as follows: phenacetin O-deethylation (CYP1A2); coumarin 7-hydroxylation, (CYP2A6); tolbutamide 4-hydroxylation (CYP2C9), S-mephenytoin 4'-hydroxylation (CYP2C19); dextromethorphan O-demethylation (CYP2D6); chloroxazone 6-hydroxylation (CYP2E1); and testosterone 6beta-hydroxylation (CYP3A4). We found that both induced and uninduced rat liver microsomes were active in all the pathways studied with the exception of coumarin 7-hydroxylation. Coumarin 7-hydroxylation was observed with human liver microsomes but not the rat liver microsomes. Aroclor-1254 was found to induce all activities measured, with the exception of coumarin 7-hydroxylation. Dextromethorphan O-deethylation activity was higher in the rat liver microsomes than the human liver microsomes. Testosterone 6beta-hydroxylation activity was found to be similar between the human liver microsomes and the induced rat liver microsomes. Our results suggest that experimental data obtained with Aroclor 1254-induced rat liver microsomes may not always be relevant to human. 相似文献

The antitumor activity of shikonin derivatives is largely dependent on the generation of superoxide radicals and the alkylation activity of their naphthoquinone moiety. However, our recent study showed that 1,4-dioxime-5,8-dimethoxynaphthalene (DMAKO-05), a novel shikonin derivative, displayed more potential antitumor activity and less toxicity compared to fluorouracil (5-FU) both in vitro and in vivo, even though the hydroxyl and carbonyl groups of its naphthoquinone structure were shielded. To understand the underlying mechanisms, we investigated the metabolism of DMAKO-05 in rat liver microsomes. The kinetic analysis indicated that DMAKO-05 underwent a biphasic metabolism in rat liver microsomes. The inhibition experiments showed that CYP1A and CYP3A were the major enzymes in the metabolism of DMAKO-05, along with partial contribution from CYP2A. In addition, the structures of eight DMAKO-05 metabolites, which were characterized by accurate mass and MS/MS fragmentograms, implied that DMAKO-05 was mainly metabolized through the oxygenation of its naphthoquinone nucleus and the hydrolysis of its side chain, instead of the oxidation of hydroxyimine to ketone. Therefore, DMAKO-05 should not be considered as a traditional naphthoquinone prodrug.KEY WORDS: antitumor, LC-TOF-MS/MS, metabolism, method validation, rat hepatic microsomes, shikonin oxime 相似文献

The aim of the current study was to investigate the metabolism of (-)-menthone by liver microsomes of humans. (-)-Menthone (1) was metabolized to (+)-neomenthol (2) (3-reduction) and 7-hydroxymenthone (3) by human liver microsomes. The metabolites formed were analyzed on GC and GC-MS. Kinetic analysis showed that K(m) and V(max) values for the metabolized (-)-menthone to respective (+)-neomenthol and 7-hydroxymenthone by liver microsomes of human sample HG70 were 0.37 mM and 4.91 nmol/min/mg protein and 0.07 mM and 0.71 nmol/min/mg protein. 相似文献

Antibodies to mouse liver cytochrome P3-450 (anti-P3-450) and antibodies to rat liver cytochrome P-450d (anti-P-450d-c) inhibit the 0-deethylation of 7-ethoxyresorufin (ER) in liver microsomes of benz(a)pyrene-induced (BP) mice but do not inhibit the 0-deethylase activity in liver microsomes of BP-induced rats. Anti-P3-450 and anti-P-450c inhibit BP-hydroxylation in BP-induced mouse liver microsomes by 20%, but they do not inhibit this reaction at all in BP-induced rat liver microsomes. In a reconstituted monooxygenase system isolated cytochrome P3-450 metabolized 7-ER and BP. In contrast, its homologue, cytochrome P-450d, did not metabolize these substrates. The fraction containing cytochrome P1-450 metabolized 7-ER at a low rate and BP at a rate of 3.6 nmol product/min/nmol cytochrome. Western blot analysis with anti-P-450c + d revealed two bands in SDS-PAGE gels containing BP-induced mouse liver microsomes. The interaction of mouse liver BP-microsomes with anti-P3-450 and anti-P-450d-c was accompanied by the appearance of a single band (cytochrome P3-450). 相似文献

Metabolism of 3H-labeled (+)-(S,S)- and (-)-(R,R)-1,2-dihydrodiols of triphenylene by rat liver microsomes and 11 purified isozymes of cytochrome P450 in a reconstituted monooxygenase system has been examined. Although both enantiomers were metabolized at comparable rates, the distribution of metabolites between phenolic dihydrodiols and bay-region, 1,2-diol 3,4-epoxide diastereomers varied substantially with the different systems. Treatment of rats with phenobarbital (PB) or 3-methylcholanthrene (MC) caused a slight reduction or less than a twofold increase, respectively, in the rate of total metabolism (per nanomole of cytochrome P450) of the enantiomeric dihydrodiols compared to microsomes from control rats. Among the 11 isozymes of cytochrome P450 tested, only cytochromes P450c (P450IA1) and P450d (P450IA2) had significant catalytic activity. With either enantiomer of triphenylene 1,2-dihydrodiol, both purified cytochrome P450c (P450IA1) and liver microsomes from MC-treated rats formed diol epoxides and phenolic dihydrodiols in approximately equal amounts. Purifed cytochrome P450d (P450IA2), however, formed bay-region diol epoxides and phenolic dihydrodiols in an 80:20 ratio. Interestingly, liver microsomes from control or PB-treated rats produced only diol epoxides and little or no phenolic dihydrodiols. The diol epoxide diastereomers differ in that the epoxide oxygen is either cis (diol epoxide-1) or trans (diol epoxide-2) to the benzylic 1-hydroxyl group. With either purified cytochromes P450 (isozymes c or d) or liver microsomes from MC-treated rats, diol epoxide-2 is favored over diol epoxide-1 by at least 4:1 when the (-)-enantiomer is the substrate, while diol epoxide-1 is favored by at least 5:1 when the (+)- enantiomer is the substrate. In contrast, with liver microsomes from control or PB-treated rats, formation of diol epoxide-1 relative to diol epoxide-2 was favored by at least 2:1 regardless of the substrate enantiomer metabolized. This is the first instance where the ratio of diol epoxide-1/diol epoxide-2 metabolites is independent of the dihydrodiol enantiomer metabolized. Experiments with antibodies indicate that a large percentage of the metabolism by microsomes from control and PB-treated rats is catalyzed by cytochrome P450p (P450IIIA1), resulting in the altered stereoselectivity of these microsomes compared to that of the liver microsomes from MC-treated rats. 相似文献

Hepatic P450s, named M-3 and M-4 were purified from phenobarbitone pretreated rhesus monkey. These demonstrated polypeptide molecular mass of 50 and 52.5 kDa and specific content of 12 and 20 nmol P450/mg protein, respectively. Both the isozymes demonstrated low spin state of heme. Antibodies raised against M-3 inhibited the activity of aminopyrine, erythromycin and ethylmorphine N-demethylase in the microsomes obtained from PB pretreated rhesus monkey by 76, 40 and 35%, respectively. M-4 did the same by 69, 85 and 79%, respectively. These observations indicated M-3 and M-4 to be the members of CYP2C and 3A subfamilies, respectively. These results were substantiated by the observations that M-3 metabolized aminopyrine whereas M-4 metabolized aminopyrine, erythromycin and ethylmorphine in the reconstituted system. Microsomal lipids and cytochrome b5 enhanced the rate of these reactions. Further confirmation to the identity of these isozymes was provided by N-terminal amino acid sequences. The first 10 N-terminal amino acid residues of M-3 were 90% similar to CYP2C20 and 2C9 and that of M-4 were 100 and 90% similar to CYP3A8 and 3A5, respectively. In conclusion, two isozymes of hepatic P450 purified from PB pretreated rhesus monkey belong to CYP2C and 3A subfamilies. 相似文献

Six alkyl ethers of 7-hydroxycoumarin, ranging from methoxy- to hexoxycoumarin, were studied for their NADPH-dependent metabolism by liver microsomes of male rats treated with phenobarbital (PB) or 3-methyl-cholanthrene (MC). The six alkyl ethers were metabolized by both types of microsomes, forming 7-hydroxycoumarin as the major product. Among the test compounds, 7-methoxycoumarin was unusual in that its dealkylation was inducible only by PB and not by MC. PB increased 7-methoxycoumarin-O-demethylase (MOCD) activity about four- to eightfold. Metyrapone strongly inhibited MOCD in PB-treated microsomes but not in MC-treated microsomes. Similarly, monoclonal antibodies directed toward PB-induced cytochrome P450s selectively suppressed MOCD in PB-treated microsomes. MOCD activity was observed in preparations of SD1 cells containing only cytochrome P450IIB1, while it was not found in preparations of XEM1 cells containing only cytochrome P450IA1. Demethylation of 7-methoxycoumarin was also mediated by the constitutive cytochrome P450 form(s) of liver, lung, small intestine, and kidney (in decreasing order). PB increased MOCD activity of small intestine by 40% but was without effect on the dealkylation activity of lung and kidney. MOCD activity was also detectable in differentiated rat hepatoma lines H4IIEC3 and 2sFou. The studies indicate that dealkylation of 7-methoxycoumarin is a highly sensitive, simple, and practical assay for estimating constitutive and PB-inducible cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenase activities. 相似文献

Leukotriene B4 metabolism by hepatic cytochrome P-450 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Leukotriene B4 (LTB) was found to be metabolized by suspensions of rat liver microsomes in the presence of NADPH and oxygen. The rate of LTB metabolism was also measured in reconstituted systems of both micelles and phospholipid vesicles containing cytochrome P-450-LM2, NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase, and cytochrome b5. A 1 microM concentration of LTB was metabolized by rat hepatic microsomes at a rate of 4 pmol LTB/min/nmole P-450, and by vesicle and micelle reconstituted systems at 3 pmole/min/nmole P-450-LM2. At this rate a 10 g rat liver exposed to 1 microM LTB can metabolize 30 micrograms per hour. In that the leukotrienes are pharmacologically active at nanomolar concentrations, hepatic metabolism may be an important pathway of leukotriene inactivation. 相似文献

Purification and characterization of three male-specific and one female-specific forms of cytochrome P-450 from rat liver microsomes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Three forms of cytochrome P-450, tentatively designated P-450(M-1), P-450(M-2), and P-450(M-3), and one form of cytochrome P-450, P-450(F-1), were purified from the liver microsomes of untreated male and female rats, respectively. Each purified form of the cytochrome showed a single protein band on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and gave a minimum molecular weight of 51,000 for P-450(M-1), 48,000 for P-450(M-2), 49,000 for P-450(M-3), and 50,000 for P-450(F-1). The carbon monoxide-difference spectra of reduced P-450(M-1), P-450(M-2), P-450(M-3), and P-450(F-1) showed an absorption maximum at 451, 451, 448, and 449 nm, respectively. Judging from the absolute absorption spectra, the four forms of cytochrome P-450 were of low-spin type in the oxidized forms. The antibodies against P-450(M-2) did not crossreact with the other forms in the Ouchterlony double diffusion test, whereas the immunodiffusion test showed immunocrossreactivity between P-450(M-1) and P-450(F-1), P-450(M-1) and P-450(M-3), and P-450(M-3) and P-450(F-1). The NH2-terminal amino acid sequences of the four forms confirmed that they were different molecular species, although significant homology was noticed among P-450(M-1), P-450(M-3), and P-450(F-1). The quantitation of P-450(M-1) and P-450(F-1) in liver microsomes by quantitative immunoprecipitation confirmed that these two forms of cytochrome P-450 were developmentally induced in male and female rats, respectively. P-450(M-2) was also developmentally induced in male rats. In a reconstituted system containing NADPH and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, P-450(M-1) oxidized benzphetamine at a high rate, whereas the other forms had low activity toward benzphetamine. None of the four forms showed high activity toward benzo(a)pyrene. P-450(M-1) catalyzed the hydroxylation testosterone at the 16 alpha and 2 alpha positions, whereas P-450(M-2) catalyzed the 15 alpha hydroxylation of the same substrate. 相似文献

Alveolar macrophcges of rabbits acetylated p-aminobenzoic acid to the same extent as did lung parenchyma and liver. However, microsomes isolated from macrophages lacked detectable activity of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase, even in animals treated with 3-methylcholanthrene, an inducer of this enzyme in liver and lung. Similarly, bromobenzene was metabolized by microsomes prepared from liver and lung but not from alveolar macrophages. 相似文献

Phospholipase A1, A2 and lysophospholipase activities in microsomes of Novikoff hepatoma host rat liver and regenerating rat liver were compared using 1-[9', 10'-3H2]palmitoyl-2-[1'-14C] linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, 1-[1' -3H-]hexadecyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, and 1-[9', 10'-3H2]palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine as substrates. 1. Microsomes of all three tissues showed two pH dependent peaks of hydrolytic activity, one at pH 7.5 and another at pH 9.5. 2. Phospholipid hydrolytic activity in microsomes from host liver and regenerating liver require Ca2+ for hydrolysis at pH 9.5, but not at pH 7.5. Hepatoma microsomes require Ca2+ for activity at both pH values. 3. Phospholipase A1 activity, stimulated by addition of Triton X-100 to the incubation mixtures, was detected in both host liver and regenerating liver microsomes. There was no evidence of phospholipase A1 activity in hepatoma microsomes. 4. Phospholipase A2 was detected in microsomes of all three tissues using 1-[1'-3H] hexadecyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine as a substrate. The activity required calcium and was inhibited by Triton X-100. 5. Lysophospholipase activity was evident in the microsomes from all three tissues. The activity was inhibited by both Ca2+ and Triton X-100. 6. Differences were also detected between host liver and hepatoma microsomal phospholipid hydrolase activities with respect to the effect of increasing protein concentration, apparent Michaelis-Menten constants, and time course of the reaction. 相似文献

We have designed and synthesized new 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors, fluorinated 3,4-dihydroxychalcones, and evaluated their biological activities with respect to antiperoxidation activity and in vitro antitumor activities. All fluorinated chalcones tested showed 5-lipoxygenase inhibition on rat basophilic leukemia-1 (RBL-1) cells and inhibitory action on Fe(3+)-ADP induced NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes. The potencies were comparable or better to that of the lead 3,4-dihydroxychalcone. 6-Fluoro-3,4-dihydroxy-2',4'-dimethoxy chalcone (7) was the most effective compound in the in vitro assay using a human cancer cell line panel (HCC panel) consisting of 39 systems. 相似文献

Samples of two human livers taken during operation of kidney donor patients were processed for microsome fractions and used for metabolization of cyclophosphamide (CP) and dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) in combination with the NADPH-generating system. Rat-liver microsomes were checked for comparison. Induction of chromatid aberrations and sister-chromatid exchanges in a newly isolated clone of Chinese hamster fibroblasts served as indicators of activity. Human S-9 fractions standardized on protein content showed strong variations of CP and DMN activation. Whereas liver microsomes of one patient (who also suffered from Gaucher's disease) were highly active for both pre-carcinogens and metabolized DMN at the same level as the uninduced rat-liver microsomes, the S-9 fraction from the second patient failed to activate CP, but was distinctly positive for DMN. It is suggested that samples of liver and other organs of renal transplant donors might be a practicable source of freshly prepared human microsome fractions usable in biochemical, genetic and carcinogenetic studies. Problems concerning the extrapolation of results are discussed. 相似文献

1. Liver microsomes from rats were considerably more active in metabolizing benzo[f]quinoline (B f Q) than those from brown bullheads (Ictalurus nebulosus). 2. The main B f Q metabolites formed by both rat and brown bullhead liver microsomes were qualitatively similar and included B f Q-7,8-dihydrodiol, B f Q-9,10-dihydrodiol, B f Q-N-oxide, 7-hydroxy B f Q, and 9-hydroxy B f Q. 3. The liver microsomes from control brown bullheads and rats metabolized B f Q primarily at the 7,8-and 9,10-positions, respectively, whereas in the case of microsomes from 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC)-treated rats or brown bullheads, the major site of metabolic attack was the 7,8-position. 4. A 3-MC-type of cytochrome P-450 appears to be primarily responsible for the oxidation of B f Q by control brown bullhead liver microsomes, whereas a phenobarbital-inducible type of cytochrome P-450 seems to be involved in the metabolism of B f Q by control rat liver microsomes. 相似文献

We measured rates of oxidative metabolism of two tetrachlorobiphenyl (TCB) congeners by hepatic microsomes of two marine mammal species, beluga whale and pilot whale, as related to content of selected cytochrome P450 (CYP) forms. Beluga liver microsomes oxidized 3,3',4,4'-TCB at rates averaging 21 and 5 pmol/min per mg for males and females, respectively, while pilot whale samples oxidized this congener at 0.3 pmol/min per mg or less. However, rates of 3,3',4,4'-TCB metabolism correlated with immunodetected CYP1A1 protein content in liver microsomes of both species. The CYP1A inhibitor alpha-naphthoflavone inhibited 3,3',4,4'-TCB metabolism by 40% in beluga, supporting a role for a cetacean CYP1A as a catalyst of this activity. Major metabolites of 3,3',4,4'-TCB generated by beluga liver microsomes were 4-OH-3,3',4',5-TCB and 5-OH-3,3',4,4'-TCB (98% of total), similar to metabolites formed by other species CYP1A1, and suggesting a 4,5-epoxide-TCB intermediate. Liver microsomes of both species metabolized 2,2',5,5'-TCB at rates of 0.2-1.5 pmol/min per mg. Both species also expressed microsomal proteins cross-reactive with antibodies raised against some mammalian CYP2Bs (rabbit; dog), but not others (rat; scup). Whether CYP2B homologues occur and function in cetaceans is uncertain. This study demonstrates that PCBs are metabolized to aqueous-soluble products by cetacean liver enzymes, and that in beluga, rates of metabolism of 3,3',4,4'-TCB are substantially greater than those of 2,2',5,5'-TCB. These directly measured rates generally support the view that PCB metabolism plays a role in shaping the distribution patterns of PCB residues found in cetacean tissue. 相似文献

Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) is a serum enzyme closely associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL), which may protect against atherosclerosis by hydrolyzing lipid peroxides and several organophosphorus compounds. The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that lipid peroxidation modifies the activity and protein mass of PON1 in humans and rats. Our findings revealed that the bulk of the activity monitored by the hydrolysis of paraoxon and phenyl acetate was confined to liver intracellular endoplasmic reticulum-derived microsomes and was mostly recovered in circulating HDL3. Confirmation was obtained by the determination of PON1 expression by Western blot. It is noteworthy that PON1 levels were consistently decreased in human sera, HDL, and liver microsomes compared with rat counterparts. Concomitant with iron-ascorbate-mediated lipid peroxidation, there was a decline in PON1 activity and protein in both HDL3 and microsomes, which was attenuated by butylated hydroxytoluene antioxidant treatment. The current data indicate that PON1 localization in microsomes and HDL3 could represent a selective cellular and lipoprotein response to oxidative stress. This was tested by the iron-ascorbate oxygen-radical generating system. It is also proposed that the increased PON1 level may have a function related to the well-known atherosclerosis resistance of rats. 相似文献

1. The isolation and partial purification of 11beta-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase from rat and guinea-pig liver microsomes has been achieved by conventional methods. 2. The efficiency of different 11-oxygenated steroids as substrates has been examined. The relative efficiencies confirm in the main the stereochemical theory of the enzyme-coenzyme-substrate complex that was proposed earlier on the basis of studies in vivo. Delta(4)-3-Ketones and 5alpha-hydrogen steroids are readily metabolized by the enzyme. 5beta-Hydrogen steroids and Delta(4)-3-ketones with certain large alpha-substituents are metabolized to a limited extent or not at all. Halogen substitution in the 9alpha-position enhances the rate of reduction of 11-ketones but blocks the oxidation of the related 11beta-ols. 3. 9alpha-Fluorocortisol is a competitive inhibitor of the oxidation of cortisol, but 9alpha-fluorocortisone is reduced at five to ten times the initial velocity of cortisone. 4. 11beta-Hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase activity has been found in liver microsomes of rat, guinea pig, rabbit and calf. 5. Relative substrate efficiencies and K(m) values are similar in whole (debris-free) homogenates, washed microsomes and acetone-dried powders of washed microsomes. 6. A variety of conditions have been examined for the observation of 11beta-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase activity. NADP(H) is an efficient and NAD(H) a very poor coenzyme for the reaction. 相似文献
