چکیده

Recent observations revealed that humanUDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 2B10 catalyzes N-glucuronidation of amine-containing compounds. Knowledge of the substrate specificity and clinical significance of UGT2B10 is still limited. The purpose of this study was to expand the knowledge of UGT2B10 substrates and to evaluate its significance in drug clearance. Using recombinant UGT2B10, we found that it catalyzes the N-glucuronidation of amitriptyline, imipramine, ketotifen, pizotifen, olanzapine, diphenhydramine, tamoxifen, ketoconazole, and midazolam. These are drugs that were previously reported to be substrates for UGT1A4 or UGT1A3, and that contain in their structure either tertiary aliphatic amines, cyclic amines, or an imidazole group. UGT2B10 was inactive in the glucuronidation of desipramine, nortriptyline, carbamazepine, and afloqualone. This group of drugs contains secondary or primary amines, and these results suggest that UGT2B10 preferably conjugates tertiary amines. This preference is partial because UGT2B10 did not conjugate the tertiary cyclic amine in trifluoperazine. Kinetic analyses revealed that the affinity and clearance of UGT2B10 for amitriptyline, imipramine, and diphenhydramine are significantly higher than the corresponding values of UGT1A4 and UGT1A3, although the Vmax values of UGT1A4 toward these drugs are considerably higher. These findings suggest that UGT2B10 plays a major role in the N-glucuronidation of these drugs at therapeutic concentrations. These results are also supported by inhibition studies with nicotine and hecogenin. In conclusion, this study expands the understanding of the substrate specificity of UGT2B10, highlighting its preference for tertiary amines with higher affinities and clearance values than those of UGT1A4 and UGT1A3.

Factors influencing mortality estimates in post-release survival studies

Campana et al. (2009; Mar Ecol Prog Ser 387:241–253) explored the survival of blue sharks Prionace glauca captured and released from the North Atlantic commercial longline fishery. We think that their comments and comparisons do not accurately reflect a previous survival study of blue sharks in Hawaii (Moyes et al. 2006; Trans Am Fish Soc 135:1389–1397). The differences in mortality between the...

Effects of S-1389 (711389-S), a new antiarrhythmic agent, on the conduction in perfused guinea pig hearts.

In the His bundle and ventricular electrograms of Langendorff-perfused guinea pig hearts driven at a cycle length of 450 or 700 msec, S-1389 (711389-S), a new antiarrhythmic agent, above 3 x 10(-7) or 10(-6) M increased the basal conduction times in the following order: His-Purkinje system greater than ventricular and atrial muscles greater than atrioventricular (AV) node. Slowing of the ventri...

An angiogenic laminin site and its antagonist bind through the avb3 and a5b1 integrins

Angiogenesis is important for wound healing, tumor growth, and metastasis. Endothelial cells differentiate into capillary-like structures on a laminin1-rich matrix (Matrigel). We previously identified 20 angiogenic sites on laminin-1 (a1b1g1) by screening 559 overlapping synthetic peptides. C16, the most potent g1 chain peptide, blocked laminin-1-mediated adhesion and was the only g1 chain pept...

(H, k) stable graphs with minimum size

Let us call a G (H, k) graph vertex stable if it contains a subgraph H ever after removing any of its k vertices. By Q(H, k) we will denote the minimum size of an (H, k) vertex stable graph. In this paper, we are interested in finding Q(C3, k), Q(C4, k), Q(K1,p, k) and Q(Ks, k).
