CYP3A Mediated Ketamine Metabolism is Severely Impaired in Liver S9 Fractions from Aging Sprague Dawley Rats

چکیده
Ketamine is widely used in veterinary medicine and in medicine. Ketamine is metabolized to its active metabolite norketamine principally by liver CYP3A. Drug metabolism alterations during aging have severe consequences particularly in anesthesiology and very few studies on older animals were conducted for ketamine. The objective of the present study is to assess the influence of aging on CYP3A metabolism of ketamine. Liver S9 fractions from 3, 6, 12 and 18 month old male Sprague Dawley rats were prepared and Michaelis-Menten parameters were determined for primary metabolic pathways. The derived maximum enzyme velocity (i.e. V max) suggests a rapid saturation of the CYP3A enzyme active sites in liver S9 fractions of 18-month old rats. Observed V max for Liver S9 fractions from 3, 6 and 12 month old male Sprague Dawley rats were 2.39 fractions from 18 month old male Sprague Dawley rats. Interestingly, we observed a 6 to 7 fold change in the derived K m when comparing Liver S9 fractions from 18 month old male Sprague Dawley rats with Liver S9 fractions from younger rats. Our results suggest that rat CYP3A enzyme undergoes conformational changes with age particularly in our geriatric group (e.g. 18 month rats) leading significant decrease in the rate of formation of norketamine. Moreover, our results strongly suggest a severe impairment of CYP3A ketamine mediated metabolism.

متن کاملDown-regulation of hepatic CYP3A and CYP2C mediated metabolism in rats with moderate chronic kidney disease.
Expression and activity of drug-metabolizing enzymes are decreased in severe kidney disease; however, only a small percentage of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at the final stage of the disease. This study aimed to determine the changes in drug-metabolizing enzyme function and expression in rats with varying degrees of kidney disease. Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to surgic...
متن کاملDifference in the Pharmacokinetics and Hepatic Metabolism of Antidiabetic Drugs in Zucker Diabetic Fatty and Sprague-Dawley Rats.
The Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rat, an inbred strain of obese Zucker fatty rat, develops early onset of insulin resistance and displays hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. The phenotypic changes resemble human type 2 diabetes associated with obesity and therefore the strain is used as a pharmacological model for type 2 diabetes. The aim of the current study was to compare the pharmacokinetics an...

The recently characterized environmental mutagen and potential carcinogen 1-nitropyrene (NP) is known to bind DNA in Salmonella typhimurium, and also in anaerobic incubations catalyzed by purified xanthine oxidase. In this study we show that rat liver S9 supernatant, microsomal and cytosolic subcellular fractions are also able to catalyze the binding of 1-nitropyrene labeled with 14C to calf th...

Irisin is a myokine secreted mostly by muscles after exercise, and its secretion level changes in metabolic disorders. The aim of present study was to investigate the effect of metformin on changes in the levels of plasma irisin, blood glucose and insulin resistance in male Sprague-Dawley rats receiving a high-fat emulsion diet. Twenty-four rats were divided into a normal control group (n = 8) ...
