چکیده

In vitro studies were conducted to identify the cytochromes P450 (CYP) involved in the oxidative metabolism of celecoxib. The hydroxylation of celecoxib conformed to monophasic Michaelis-Menten kinetics (mean +/- S.D., n = 4 livers, K(m) = 3.8 +/- 0.95 microM, V(max) = 0.70 +/- 0.45 nmol/min/mg protein) in the presence of human liver microsomes, although substrate inhibition was significant at higher celecoxib concentrations. The treatment of a panel of human liver microsomal samples (n = 16 subjects) with antibodies against CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 inhibited the formation of hydroxy celecoxib by 72 to 92% and 0 to 27%, respectively. The presence of both antibodies in the incubation suppressed the activity by 90 to 94%. In addition, the formation of hydroxy celecoxib significantly correlated with CYP2C9-selective tolbutamide methyl hydroxylation (r = 0.92, P <. 001) and CYP3A-selective testosterone 6beta-hydroxylation (r = 0.55, P <.02). In contrast, correlation with activities selective for other forms of CYP was weak (r </= 0.46). Chemical inhibition studies showed that ketoconazole (selective for CYP3A4) and sulfaphenazole (selective for CYP2C9) inhibited the formation of hydroxy celecoxib in a concentration-dependent manner, whereas potent inhibitors selective for other forms of CYP did not show any significant effect over a range of 1 to 10 microM. In agreement, cDNA-expressed CYP2C9 catalyzed the formation of hydroxy celecoxib with an apparent K(m) value (microM) and a V(max) value (pmol/min/pmol recombinant CYP) of 5.9 and 21.7, whereas a higher K(m) value (18.2) and a lower V(max) value (1.42) were obtained with rCYP3A4. It is concluded that methyl hydroxylation of celecoxib is primarily catalyzed by human liver microsomal CYP2C9, although CYP3A4 also plays a role.

Substrate-dependent effect of acetonitrile on human liver microsomal cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) activity.

Acetonitrile is an organic solvent commonly used to increase the solubility of lipophilic substrates for in vitro studies. In this study, we examined its effect on four reactions (diclofenac hydroxylation, tolbutamide methyl hydroxylation, phenytoin hydroxylation, and celecoxib methyl hydroxylation) catalyzed by human liver microsomes and by the recombinant CYP2C9. In both cases, the effect of ...

Human biotransformation of bropirimine. Characterization of the major bropirimine oxidative metabolites formed in vitro.

Bropirimine (2-amino-5-bromo-6-phenyl-4-pyrimidinone) is a member of a class of antineoplastic agents known as aryl pyrimidinones. In human liver microsomal incubations, bropirimine oxidative metabolism is characterized by the formation of three metabolites. Mass spectrometric analysis of the incubation mixture revealed three bropirimine oxidative metabolites, identified as the bropirimine dihy...

Cytochrome P4502C9-derived epoxyeicosatrienoic acids induce the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 in endothelial cells.

OBJECTIVE Cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenases metabolize arachidonic acid to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs). CYP2C9-derived EETs elicit endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis, but the signaling pathways involved are incompletely understood. Because cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is involved in angiogenesis, we determined whether a link exists between CYP2C9 and COX-2 expression. METHODS A...

Reevaluation of the microsomal metabolism of montelukast: major contribution by CYP2C8 at clinically relevant concentrations.

According to published in vitro studies, cytochrome P450 3A4 catalyzes montelukast 21-hydroxylation (M5 formation), whereas CYP2C9 catalyzes 36-hydroxylation (M6), the primary step in the main metabolic pathway of montelukast. However, montelukast is a selective competitive CYP2C8 inhibitor, and our recent in vivo studies suggest that CYP2C8 is involved in its metabolism. We therefore reevaluat...

Membrane Position of Ibuprofen Agrees with Suggested Access Path Entrance to Cytochrome P450 2C9 Active Site

Cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) is a membrane-anchored human microsomal protein involved in the drug metabolism in liver. CYP2C9 consists of an N-terminal transmembrane anchor and a catalytic cytoplasmic domain. While the structure of the catalytic domain is well-known from X-ray experiments, the complete structure and its incorporation into the membrane remains unsolved. We constructed an atomist...
