Short Communication STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF IN VIVO RAT GLUTATHIONE ADDUCTS AND A HYDROXYLATED METABOLITE OF SIMVASTATIN HYDROXY ACID

چکیده
Simvastatin hydroxy acid (SVA), the pharmacologically active form of simvastatin (SV), is a potent inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl (HMG)-coenzyme A reductase and is formed on hydrolysis of the orally administered SV. In this article, we report the structural characterization of two new dihydroxy glutathione adducts and a trihydroxy derivative of SVA, all found in rat bile. Metabolite I is 5 ,6 -dihydroxy-4 a -glutathione-SVA, and metabolite II is a pentanoic acid derivative of metabolite I. The two identified GSH conjugates accounted for 16 and 9% in males and 11 and 5% in females of the total radioactivity (metabolites I and II, respectively). Metabolite III is 3 ,5 ,6 -dihydrotriol-SVA and accounts for 2% (male) and 4% (female) of the total dose in rats. Of these three newly identified metabolites, only metabolite III was also observed

متن کاملEffect of glutathione depletion on the hepatotoxicity and covalent binding rat liver macromolecules of N-hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene.
Glutathione plays an important role in the protection of the liver against several hepatotoxins. The hepatocarcinogen N-hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene is converted in the rat in vivo to reactive metabolites that bind covalently to cellular macromolecules. These metabolites may also react with glutathione, resulting in the formation of glutathione conjugates and in the detoxification of reactive ...
متن کاملComparative adduct formation of 4-aminobiphenyl and 2-aminofluorene derivatives with macromolecules of isolated liver parenchymal cells.
Isolated parenchymal cells of rat liver have been used in a study of the metabolic activation of derivatives of the carcinogens 4-aminobiphenyl and 2-aminofluorene. The formation of adducts of these compounds with cellular RNA and protein has been taken as evidence of their transformation to metabolites that are capable of spontaneous reaction with tissue macromolecules. The hydroxamic acid N-h...
متن کاملLack of Genotoxicity of Tamoxifen in Human Endometrium1
The potential for the anti-hreast cancer drug tamoxifen [(Z)-l-[4-[2(dimethylamino)ethoxy]phenyl]-l,2-diphenyl-l-butenel to induce genotoxic damage (DNA adducts) in the human endometrium was investigated in vivo and in vitro. Endometria from hysterectomy patients who were not on tamoxifen were sectioned and maintained in short-term organ culture. The cultures were treated with either solvent ve...
متن کاملSupporting data for characterization of the busulfan metabolite EdAG and the Glutaredoxins that it adducts
This article describes data related to a research article titled "The Busulfan Metabolite EdAG Irreversibly Glutathionylates Glutaredoxins" [1]. EdAG is an electrophilic GSH analog formed in vivo from busulfan, which is used in hematopoietic stem cell transplants. EdAG glutathionylates Glutaredoxins (Grx's) but not glutathione transferase A1-1 (GSTA1-1) in vitro. This article includes a complet...
