Fluticasone propionate (FTP) is a synthetic trifluorinated glucocorticoid with potent anti-inflammatory action that is commonly used in patients with asthma. After oral or intranasal administration, FTP undergoes rapid hepatic biotransformation; the principal metabolite formed is a 17beta-carboxylic acid derivative (M1). M1 formation has been attributed largely to cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4); ...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Sevoflurane is a halogenated fluorinated ether that undergoes hepatic biotransformation through cytochrome P4502E1. Halogenated ethers undergoing biotransformation by P4502E1 can produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), weakening the antioxidant defense mechanism. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between the activity of erythrocyte antioxid...
Cytochromes P450 is a family of heme proteins that metabolize xenobiotics including drugs. Unique human brain cytochrome P450 enzymes metabolize xenobiotics including drugs to active/inactive metabolites through biotransformation pathways that are different from the well-characterized ones in liver. We have identified an alternate spliced functional transcript of CYP2D7 containing partial inclu...
Dichloroacetate (DCA) is a potential environmental hazard and an investigational drug. Repeated doses of DCA result in reduced drug clearance, probably through inhibition of glutathione transferase ζ1 (GSTZ1), a cytosolic enzyme that converts DCA to glyoxylate. DCA is known to be taken up by mitochondria, where it inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, its major pharmacodynamic target. We test...
Microbial steroid biotransformation have found wide-reaching application for the production of more precious and functionalized compounds due to their high regio-and stereoselectivity. In this study, the possibility of using filamentous fungi Aspergillus brasiliensis cells in the biotransformation of progesterone (I), a C-21 steroid hormone was studied for the first time.The fungal strain was i...
The present study examined the effects of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) on acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity and metabolism in vivo with emphasis on possible changes in the glucuronidation pathway. Female Swiss-Webster mice received BHA in the diet (1% w/w) for 12 days (600 to 800 mg/kg/day). BHA prevented acetaminophen hepatotoxicity (600 mg/kg, ip), based on serum alanine and aspartate am...
Propofol, an intravenous anesthetic agent, is widely used for inducing and maintaining anesthesia during surgical procedures and for sedating intensive care unit patients. In the clinic, rapid elimination is one of the major advantages of propofol. Meanwhile, the biotransformation and drug interactions of propofol in rat livers are still little known. In this study, we evaluated the ring-oxidat...
The liver is important in the biotransformation of various drugs, where hepatic transporters facilitate uptake and excretion. Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common occurrence in liver surgery, and the developing oxidative stress can lead to graft failure. We used intravital multiphoton tomography, with fluorescence lifetime imaging, to characterize metabolic damage associated with hepat...
To evaluate effects of multiple dosing of ketoconazole (KTZ) on hepatic CYP3A, the pharmacokinetics of intravenous midazolam (MDZ, 0.5 mg/kg) before and during multiple dosing of KTZ were investigated in beagle dogs. KTZ tablets were given orally to dogs (n = 4) for 30 days (200 mg b.i.d.). With coadministration of KTZ, t(1/2beta) of MDZ were significantly increased both on day 1 (2-fold) and o...
