چکیده

Bevirimat [BVM, PA-457, 3-O-(3',3'-dimethylsuccinyl)-betulinic acid], a new anti-human immunodeficiency virus drug candidate, is metabolized to two monoglucuronides [mono-BVMG (I) and mono-BVMG (II)] and one diglucuronide (di-BVMG) both in vivo and in vitro. UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) reaction screening, enzyme kinetics, and species differences for the glucuronidation of BVM in vitro were investigated with pooled human liver microsomes (HLMs) and human intestinal microsomes (HIMs), animal liver microsomes, and 12 recombinant human UGT isoforms. Glucuronidation of BVM with HLMs predominantly involved the formation of mono-BVMG (I) (V(max) = 61 pmol/min/mg protein, K(m) = 27 microM) and mono-BVMG (II) (V(max) = 48 pmol/min/mg protein, K(m) = 16 microM). Di-BVMG was also observed but was a minor metabolite. HIMs mainly revealed glucuronidation to form mono-BVMG (II) (V(max) = 90 pmol/min/mg of protein, K(m) = 8.3 microM). UGT1A3 predominantly formed mono-BVMG (I) (V(max) = 65 pmol/min/mg of protein, K(m) = 13 microM), whereas UGT1A4 is a less active isoform (V(max) = 1.8 pmol/min/mg of protein, K(m) = 5.6 microM). UGT2B7 was involved in the formation of both mono-BVMG (I) (V(max) = 6.1 pmol/min/mg of protein, K(m) = 6.0 microM) and mono-BVMG (II) (V(max) = 6.5 pmol/min/mg of protein, K(m) = 7.8 microM). Among the animal liver microsomes examined, all species (rat, mouse, dog, and marmoset) demonstrated conjugation to form both mono-BVMG (I) and mono-BVMG (II), with dog liver microsomes exhibiting a higher formation rate for mono-BVMG (I), whereas marmoset liver microsomes showed a higher formation rate for mono-BVMG (II). The data suggest a primary role of UGT1A3 for the glucuronidation of BVM.

Use of cloned and expressed human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases for the assessment of human drug conjugation and identification of potential drug interactions.

Glucuronidation is an important pathway for human drug metabolism. Four cloned and expressed human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT1A1, UGT1A6, UGT1A9, and UGT2B15) were used to screen a series of three potential drug substrates differing only in position of the phenol moiety. The meta and para phenols, UK-156,037 and UK-157,147, were found to be substrates for UGT1A1 with K(m) values of 256 a...

Identification and characterization of human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases responsible for the in vitro glucuronidation of salvianolic acid A.

Glucuronidation is an important pathway in the elimination of salvianolic acid A (Sal A); however the mechanism of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) in this process remains to be investigated. In this study, the kinetics of Sal A glucuronidation by pooled human liver microsomes (HLMs), pooled human intestinal microsomes (HIMs) and 12 recombinant UGT isozymes were investigated. The glucuronida...

Prominent but reverse stereoselectivity in propranolol glucuronidation by human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases 1A9 and 1A10.

Propranolol is a nonselective beta-adrenergic blocker used as a racemic mixture in the treatment of hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, and angina pectoris. For study of the stereoselective glucuronidation of this drug, the two propranolol glucuronide diastereomers were biosynthesized, purified, and characterized. A screen of 15 recombinant human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) indicated tha...

In vitro glucuronidation of thyroxine and triiodothyronine by liver microsomes and recombinant human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases.

Glucuronidation, which may take place on the phenolic hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, is a major pathway of metabolism for thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). In this study, a liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) method was developed to separate phenolic and acyl glucuronides of T4 and T3. The method was used to collect the phenolic glucuronide of T4 for definitive characterizati...
