The X-Ray Crystal Structure of the Human Mono-Oxygenase Cytochrome P450 3A5-Ritonavir Complex Reveals Active Site Differences between P450s 3A4 and 3A5.

MOL #109744 The X-ray Crystal Structure of the Human Monooxygenase Cytochrome P450 3A5-Ritonavir Complex Reveals Active Site Differences between P450s 3A4 and 3A5

Differential oxidation of mifepristone by cytochromes P450 3A4 and 3A5: selective inactivation of P450 3A4.

The principal enzyme involved in the oxidation of mifepristone is cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), which undergoes mechanism-based inactivation by the drug. However, no information is available on the interaction with CYP3A5, the second most abundant CYP3A enzyme in adult human liver. Oxidation of mifepristone by recombinant CYP3A4 produced mono- and didemethylated products and one C-hydroxylated ...

Metabolism of sirolimus in the presence or absence of cyclosporine by genotyped human liver microsomes and recombinant cytochromes P450 3A4 and 3A5.

Sirolimus is an immunosuppressive drug currently used alone or in combination with cyclosporine. Both drugs undergo extensive metabolism by the CYP 3A enzymes. This study aimed at comparing the activity of recombinant CYP (rCYP) 3A4 and 3A5 toward sirolimus, investigating the effect of cyclosporine on the metabolic rate of these two cytochromes P450 (P450s), as well as the impact of the CYP 3A5...

Role of human hepatic cytochrome P450 1A2 and 3A4 in the metabolic activation of estrone.

The metabolic activation of estrone (E1), a potent estrogen was investigated using recombinant human cytochrome P450 enzymes, 1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C9R144C, 2E1, 3A4, 3A5 and liver microsomes from 14 human organ donors. At least five products of E1 were detected and quantitated by HPLC and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Among these metabolites, 16alpha-OH-E1, 2-OH-E1 and 4-OH-E1, ...

Inactivation of cytochrome P450 (P450) 3A4 but not P450 3A5 by OSI-930, a thiophene-containing anticancer drug.

An investigational anticancer agent that contains a thiophene moiety, 3-[(quinolin-4-ylmethyl)-amino]-N-[4-trifluoromethox)phenyl] thiophene-2-carboxamide (OSI-930), was tested to investigate its ability to modulate the activities of several cytochrome P450 enzymes. Results showed that OSI-930 inactivated purified, recombinant cytochrome P450 (P450) 3A4 in the reconstituted system in a mechanis...
