چکیده

We previously reported that cytochrome P450 (P450) is a key enzyme of organic nitrate biotransformation and that P450 levels of the heart and its vessels markedly decreased at the development of nitrate tolerance. Although our attention was mainly focused on the circulatory organs, most organic nitrates, including nitroglycerin (NTG), are metabolized in the liver, where nitric oxide (NO) is concomitantly produced from the organic nitrates. NO reacts with various molecules such as superoxide, heme, thiols, and oxygen. This paper examined whether hepatic P450 levels are also affected after organic nitrate administration, since the liver is the major organ of P450 related metabolism. Male Wistar rats were intravenously administrated NTG or isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) for 24-96 h. We observed the level of hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1) as the functional marker of hepatic P450, since one of the acute phase target proteins of NO induction is an inducible type of HO-1. Hepatic P450 was drastically decreased after 48 or 72 h of continuous NTG or ISDN infusion, when nitrate tolerance was observed, but it recovered 48 h after cessation of the NTG administration. HO-1 was induced within 24 h of continuous NTG infusion, but it returned to normal levels 48 h after cessation of NTG. The administration of sodium nitroprusside, an agent to which the animals showed no tolerance, did not induce HO-1 or P450 depletion. Chronic administration of organic nitrates significantly decreased hepatic P450. These results suggest that P450-dependent drug metabolism may be drastically affected after continuous organic nitrate administration.

Characterization of the mechanism of cytochrome P450 reductase-cytochrome P450-mediated nitric oxide and nitrosothiol generation from organic nitrates.

Mammalian cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) and cytochrome P450 (CP) play important roles in organic nitrate bioactivation; however, the mechanism by which they convert organic nitrate to NO remains unknown. Questions remain regarding the initial precursor of NO that serves to link organic nitrate to the activation of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC). To characterize the mechanism of CPR-CP-mediate...

Metabolism and pathways for denitration of organic nitrates in the human liver.

Liver first-pass metabolism differs considerably among organic nitrates, but little information exists on the mechanism of denitration of these compounds in hepatic tissue. The metabolism of nitrooxybutyl-esters of flurbiprofen and ferulic-acid, a class of organic nitrates with potential therapeutic implication in variety of different conditions, was investigated in comparison with glyceryl tri...

Hepatic cytochrome P450 gene regulation during endotoxin-induced inflammation in nuclear receptor knockout mice.

Inflammatory agents such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) down-regulate the hepatic expression of many cytochrome P450 (P450) mRNAs and proteins. Previous studies suggested that suppression of some P450 mRNAs could involve the regulation or modulation of the nuclear receptors peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) or pregnane X receptor (PXR). To determine the involvement of th...

Endotoxin administration to humans inhibits hepatic cytochrome P450-mediated drug metabolism.

In experimental animals, injection of gram-negative endotoxin (LPS) decreases hepatic cytochrome P450-mediated drug metabolism. To evaluate this phenomenon in a human model of gram-negative sepsis, LPS was administered on two consecutive days to healthy male volunteers during which time a cocktail of antipyrine (AP-250 mg), hexobarbital (HB-500 mg), and theophylline (TH-150 mg) was ingested and...

Hepatic cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes are down-regulated during inflammation. In this study, an animal model of inflammatory bowel disease was subjected to characterization of hepatic P450 expression under inflammatory conditions. Rats were treated intracolonically with 100 mg/kg trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) dissolved in 30% ethanol, and homogenates of colonic mucosa and hepatic micros...
