Oxetane Substrates of Human Microsomal Epoxide Hydrolase.
Oxetanyl building blocks are increasingly used in drug discovery because of the improved drug-like properties they confer on drug candidates, yet little is currently known about their biotransformation. A series of oxetane-containing analogs was studied and we provide the first direct evidence of oxetane hydrolysis by human recombinant microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH). Incubations with human ...
متن کاملPolymorphisms in human soluble epoxide hydrolase.
Human soluble epoxide hydrolase (hsEH) metabolizes a variety of epoxides to the corresponding vicinal diols. Arachidonic and linoleic acid epoxides are thought to be endogenous substrates for hsEH. Enzyme activity in humans shows high interindividual variation (e.g., 500-fold in liver) suggesting the existence of regulatory and/or structural gene polymorphisms. We resequenced each of the 19 exo...
متن کاملA Photorhabdus Natural Product Inhibits Insect Juvenile Hormone Epoxide Hydrolase
Simple urea compounds ("phurealipids") have been identified from the entomopathogenic bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens, and their biosynthesis was elucidated. Very similar analogues of these compounds have been previously developed as inhibitors of juvenile hormone epoxide hydrolase (JHEH), a key enzyme in insect development and growth. Phurealipids also inhibit JHEH, and therefore phurealipi...
متن کاملMicrosomal epoxide hydrolase polymorphisms.
Microsomal epoxide hydrolase plays a dual role in the activation and detoxification of carcinogenic compounds. Two polymorphic sites have been described in exons 3 and 4 of the microsomal epoxide hydrolase gene that change tyrosine residue 113 to histidine (Tyr113His) and histidine 139 to arginine (His139Arg), respectively. The exon 3 polymorphism reduces enzyme activity by approximately 50%, w...
متن کاملCholesterol epoxide hydrolase and cancer.
Cholesterol epoxide hydrolase (ChEH) catalyzes the hydration of cholesterol-5,6-epoxides (5,6-EC) into cholestane-3β,5α,6β-triol. ChEH is a hetero-oligomeric complex called the anti-estrogen binding site (AEBS) comprising 3β-hydroxysterol-Δ(8)-Δ(7)-isomerase (D8D7I) and 3β-hydroxysterol-Δ(7)-reductase (DHCR7). D8D7I and DHCR7 regulate cholesterol biosynthesis, fetal development and growth, tumo...
