Characterization of hepatic and intestinal glucuronidation of magnolol: application of the relative activity factor approach to decipher the contributions of multiple UDP-glucuronosyltransferase isoforms.

چکیده
Magnolol is a food additive that is often found in mints and gums. Human exposure to this compound can reach a high dose; thus, characterization of magnolol disposition in humans is very important. Previous studies indicated that magnolol can undergo extensive glucuronidation in humans in vivo. In this study, in vitro assays were used to characterize the glucuronidation pathway in human liver and intestine. Assays with recombinant human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase enzymes (UGTs) revealed that multiple UGT isoforms were involved in magnolol glucuronidation, including UGT1A1, -1A3, -1A7, -1A8, -1A9, -1A10, and -2B7. Magnolol glucuronidation by human liver microsomes (HLM), human intestine microsomes (HIM), and most recombinant UGTs exhibited strong substrate inhibition kinetics. The degree of substrate inhibition was relatively low in the case of UGT1A10, whereas the reaction catalyzed by UGT1A9 followed biphasic kinetics. Chemical inhibition studies and the relative activity factor (RAF) approach were used to identify the individual UGTs that played important roles in magnolol glucuronidation in HLM and HIM. The results indicate that UGT2B7 is mainly responsible for the reaction in HLM, whereas UGT2B7 and UGT1A10 are significant contributors in HIM. In summary, the current study clarifies the glucuronidation pathway of magnolol and demonstrates that the RAF approach can be used as an efficient method for deciphering the roles of individual UGTs in a given glucuronidation pathway in the native tissue that is catalyzed by multiple isoforms with variable and atypical kinetics.

Contribution of the different UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) isoforms to buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine metabolism and relationship with the main UGT polymorphisms in a bank of human liver microsomes.
The goal of this study was to evaluate the specific contribution of individual UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) isoforms in the metabolism of buprenorphine (BUP) and norbuprenorphine (Nor-BUP), as well as the impact of their genetic variations. The glucuronidation of BUP and Nor-BUP was examined using human liver microsomes (HLMs) and heterologously expressed UGTs. The individual contribution ...
متن کاملIdentification of human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase isoform(s) responsible for the glucuronidation of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)- 5-(2-furyl)-4-oxazoleacetic acid (TA-1801A).
We characterized the hepatic and intestinal UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) isoform(s) responsible for the glucuronidation of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-(2-furyl)-4-oxazoleacetic acid (TA-1801A) in humans through several in vitro mechanistic studies. Assessment of a panel of recombinant UGT isoforms revealed the TA-1801A glucuronosyltransferase activity of UGT1A1, UGT1A3, UGT1A7, UGT1A9, and UGT2B7...
متن کاملGlucuronidation activity of the UGT2B17 enzyme toward xenobiotics.
UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 2B17 is one of the most important conjugating enzymes in androgen metabolism and shares more than 95% homology with UGT2B15. Although UGT2B15 has been fully characterized for its ability to conjugate drugs, environmental pollutants, and dietary components, UGT2B17 received less attention for its capacity to glucuronidate xenobiotics. In the present study, more ...

Glucuronidation of thyroxine is a major metabolic pathway facilitating its excretion. In this study, we characterized the glucuronidation of thyroxine in human liver, jejunum, and kidney microsomes, and identified human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) isoforms involved in the activity. Human jejunum microsomes showed a lower K(m) value (24.2 microM) than human liver (85.9 microM) and kidney (...
