Biotransformation of mirtazapine by Cunninghamella elegans.
The fungus Cunninghamella elegans was used as a microbial model of mammalian metabolism to biotransform the tetracyclic antidepressant drug mirtazapine, which is manufactured as a racemic mixture of R(-)- and S(+)-enantiomers. In 168 h, C. elegans transformed 91% of the drug into the following seven metabolites: 8-hydroxymirtazapine, N-desmethyl-8-hydroxymirtazapine, N-desmethylmirtazapine, 13-...
متن کاملBiotransformation of doxepin by Cunninghamella elegans.
A filamentous fungus, Cunninghamella elegans ATCC 9245, was used as a microbial model of mammalian metabolism to biotransform doxepin, a tricyclic antidepressant drug. Doxepin is produced as an 85:15% mixture of the trans- (E) and cis- (Z) forms. After 96 h of incubation in Sabouraud dextrose broth, 28% of the drug was metabolized to 16 metabolites. No change in the trans- (E) and cis- (Z) rati...
متن کاملBiotransformation of chlorpromazine and methdilazine by Cunninghamella elegans.
When tested as a microbial model for mammalian drug metabolism, the filamentous fungus Cunninghamella elegans metabolized chlorpromazine and methdilazine within 72 h. The metabolites were extracted by chloroform, separated by high-performance liquid chromatography, and characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance, mass, and UV spectroscopic analyses. The major metabolites of chlorpromazin...
متن کاملBiotransformation of fluorene by the fungus Cunninghamella elegans.
The metabolism of fluorene, a tricyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, by Cunninghamella elegans ATCC 36112 was investigated. Approximately 69% of the [9-14C]fluorene added to cultures was metabolized within 120 h. The major ethyl acetate-soluble metabolites were 9-fluorenone (62%), 9-fluorenol, and 2-hydroxy-9-fluorenone (together, 7.0%). Similarly to bacteria, C. elegans oxidized fluorene at the C-9 p...
متن کاملBiotransformation of bromhexine by Cunninghamella elegans, C. echinulata and C. blakesleeana
Fungi is a well-known model used to study drug metabolism and its production in in vitro condition. We aim to screen the most efficient strain of Cunninghamella sp. among C. elegans, C. echinulata and C. blakesleeana for bromhexine metabolites production. We characterized the metabolites produced using various analytical tools and compared them with mammalian metabolites in Rat liver microsomes...
