چکیده

The purpose of this study was to establish bupropion (BUP) hydroxylation as a selective in vitro marker of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2B6 catalytic activity. Among a panel of 16 human liver microsomes (HLMs), BUP hydroxylase activity varied 80-fold when assayed at 500 microM substrate and significantly correlated with CYP2B6 blotting density (r(2) = 0.99) and S-mephenytoin N-demethylase activity (r(2) = 0.98). Kinetic analysis of BUP hydroxylation was performed in a subset of seven HLMs representative of the 80-fold range in activity. Sigmoidal kinetics suggestive of allosteric activation was observed in five HLMs exhibiting low or high activity; the mean apparent K(m) for BUP hydroxylation in these HLMs (130 microM) was similar to the K(m) for cDNA-expressed CYP2B6 (156 microM). Nonsaturable, biphasic kinetics was observed in two HLMs exhibiting low activity. Among a panel of cDNA-expressed P450 isoforms, CYP2B6 and CYP2E1 demonstrated the highest rates of BUP hydroxylation at 12 mM BUP (7.0 and 2.4 pmol/min/pmol of P450, respectively). The relative contributions of CYP2B6 and CYP2E1 to BUP hydroxylation were estimated by using immunoinhibitory monoclonal antibodies (MAB) to these enzymes. MAB-2B6 produced 88% maximum inhibition of BUP hydroxylation when assayed at 12 mM BUP in a high activity HLM, whereas MAB-2E1 produced 81% maximum inhibition in a low activity HLM. However, negligible inhibition by MAB-2E1 was observed when low and high activity HLMs were assayed at 500 microM BUP. These results demonstrate selectivity of BUP hydroxylation for CYP2B6 at 500 microM BUP, thereby validating its use as a diagnostic in vitro marker of CYP2B6 catalytic activity.

Bupropion hydroxylation as a selective marker of rat CYP2B1 catalytic activity.

Benzyloxyresorufin-O-dealkylation (BROD) is usually used as a marker of cytochrome P450 (P450) 2B1 in rat. However, some reports show that CYP1A2 is also highly implicated. The purpose of the present study was to establish bupropion (BUP) hydroxylation, but not BROD, as a selective in vitro marker of CYP2B1 catalytic activity. IC(50) for BROD and BUP hydroxylation were equivalent (40.8 ± 4.6 an...

Evaluation of CYP2C9 activity in rats: use of tolbutamide alone and in combined with bupropion

A “cocktail”of several probe drugs is often used to evaluate metabolic activity of multiple cytochrome P450 enzymes in one session. Some interactions among probe drugs can appear and may impact the rate of biotransformation of other ones. Our presented work was to aim on the influence of bupropion on rat cytochrome P450-mediated metabolism of tolbutamide. The biotransformation rates of tolbutam...

The naturally occurring cytochrome P450 (P450) 2B6 K262R mutant of P450 2B6 exhibits alterations in substrate metabolism and inactivation.

The polymorphic human cytochrome P450 (P450) 2B6 is primarily responsible for the metabolism of several clinically relevant drugs including bupropion, cyclophosphamide, propofol, and efavirenz. Although a number of single nucleotide polymorphisms have been found in the P450 2B6 gene, the influence of these variants on the metabolism of substrates and on the response to known inactivators of P45...

Inhibition of human CYP2B6-catalyzed bupropion hydroxylation by Ginkgo biloba extract: effect of terpene trilactones and flavonols.

Cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) is expressed predominantly in human liver. It catalyzes the oxidative biotransformation of various drugs, including bupropion, which is an antidepressant and a tobacco use cessation agent. Serious adverse effects of high dosages of bupropion have been reported, including the onset of seizure. As Ginkgo biloba extract may be consumed with bupropion or another CYP2B6 ...
