Abstract
The hepatic uptake of imipramine and propranolol was investigated after incubation with isolated rat hepatocytes over a wide concentration range (0.04-400 microM). The cell-to-medium concentration ratio (K(p)) was concentration-dependent and could be described using a two-site binding model incorporating a high affinity/low capacity site and a linear component for a site which was apparently not saturated. Maximum (at 0.04 microM) and minimum K(p) values (at 400 microM) were 360 and 280, and 110 and 70 for imipramine and propranolol, respectively. During these incubations, metabolism was inhibited using aminobenzotriazole (an irreversible inhibitor of cytochrome P450). Pretreatment of cells either by freeze-thawing or with saponin (which permeabilizes the plasma membrane) eliminated the saturable process. The saturable uptake process of imipramine was also inhibited by 18 other lipophilic amine drugs (including propranolol). This uptake component may involve membrane transporter(s), whereas the nonsaturable component probably represents partition into the phospholipid component of membranes. Propranolol was further investigated to determine the impact of high K(p) values on hepatocellular clearance. The area under the curve for propranolol concentrations in the total incubate (medium including the cells) from the depletiontime profile was substantially greater than the corresponding area under the curve for the drug concentration in the extracellular medium, and this difference approximated the nonsaturable uptake component. It is concluded that the clearance of propranolol in isolated hepatocytes is not rate-limited by hepatic uptake and is directly proportional to unbound drug concentration, being independent of the higher K(p) value.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to compare the accuracy of five methods for predicting in vivo intrinsic clearance (CL(int)) and seven for predicting hepatic clearance (CL(h)) in humans using in vitro microsomal data and/or preclinical animal data. METHODS The human CL(int) was predicted for 33 drugs by five methods that used either in vitro data with a physiologic scaling factor (SF), with an empirical SF, with the physiologic and drug-specific (the ratio of in vivo and in vitro CL(int) in rats) SFs, or rat CL(int) directly and with allometric scaling. Using the estimated CL(int), the CL(h) in humans was calculated according to the well-stirred liver model. The CL(h) was also predicted using additional two methods: using direct allometric scaling or drug-specific SF and allometry. RESULTS Using in vitro human microsomal data with a physiologic SF resulted in consistent underestimation of both CL(int) and CL(h). This bias was reduced by using either an empirical SF, a drug-specific SF, or allometry. However, for allometry, there was a substantial decrease in precision. For drug-specific SF, bias was less reduced, precision was similar to an empirical SF. Both CL(int) and CL(h) were best predicted using in vitro human microsomal data with empirical SF. Use of larger data set of 52 drugs with the well-stirred liver model resulted in a best-fit empirical SF that is 9-fold increase on the physiologic SF. CONCLUSIONS Overall, the empirical SF method and the drug-specific SF method appear to be the best methods; they show lower bias than the physiologic SF and better precision than allometric approaches. The use of in vitro human microsomal data with an empirical SF may be preferable, as it does not require extra information from a preclinical study.

Abstract
This study investigated the relative contribution of ion-trapping, microsomal binding, and distribution of unbound drug as determinants in the hepatic retention of basic drugs in the isolated perfused rat liver. The ionophore monensin was used to abolish the vesicular proton gradient and thus allow an estimation of ion-trapping by acidic hepatic vesicles of cationic drugs. In vitro microsomal studies were used to independently estimate microsomal binding and metabolism. Hepatic vesicular ion-trapping, intrinsic elimination clearance, permeability-surface area product, and intracellular binding were derived using a physiologically based pharmacokinetic model. Modeling showed that the ion-trapping was significantly lower after monensin treatment for atenolol and propranolol, but not for antipyrine. However, no changes induced by monensin treatment were observed in intrinsic clearance, permeability, or binding for the three model drugs. Monensin did not affect binding or metabolic activity in vitro for the drugs. The observed ion-trapping was similar to theoretical values estimated using the pHs and fractional volumes of the acidic vesicles and the pKa values of drugs. Lipophilicity and pKa determined hepatic drug retention: a drug with low pKa and low lipophilicity (e.g., antipyrine) distributes as unbound drug, a drug with high pKa and low lipophilicity (e.g., atenolol) by ion-trapping, and a drug with a high pKa and high lipophilicity (e.g., propranolol) is retained by ion-trapping and intracellular binding. In conclusion, monensin inhibits the ion-trapping of high pKa basic drugs, leading to a reduction in hepatic retention but with no effect on hepatic drug extraction.

Abstract
AIM: To study the influence of inducers BNF and PB on the stere oselective metabolism of propranolol in rat hepatic microsomes.
METHODS: Phase I metabolism of propranolol was studied by using the microsomes induced by BNF and PB and the non-induced microsome as the control. The enzymatic kinetic parameters of propranolol enantiomers were calculated by regression analysis of Lineweaver-Burk plots. Propranolol concentrations we re assayed by HPLC.
RESULTS: A RP-HPLC method was developed to determine propranol ol concentration in rat hepatic microsomes. The linearity equations for R (+)pr opranolol and S (-)propranolol were A = 705.7C + 311.2C (R = 0.9987) and A = 697.2C+311.4C (R = 0.9970) respectively. Recoveries of each enant iomer were 98.9%, 99.5%, 101.0% at 60 μmol/L, 120 μmol/L, 240 μmol/L respectively. At the concentration level of 120 μmol/L, propranolol enantiomers were metabolized at different rates in different microsomes. The concentration ratio R (+)/S (-) of control and PB induced microsomes increased with time, whereas that of microsome induced by BNF decreased. The assayed enzyme parameters were: 1. Km. Control group: R (+)30 ± 8, S (-) 18 ± 5; BNF group: R (+) 34 ± 3, S (-)39 ± 7; PB group: R (+)38 ± 17, S (-) 36 ± 10. 2. Vmax. Control group: R (+)1.5 ± 0.2, S (-)2.9 ± 0.3; BNF group: R (+)3.8 ± 0.3, S (-)3. 3 ± 0.5 ; PB group: R (+)0.07 ± 0.03, S (-)1.94 ± 0. 07. 3. Clint. Control group: R (+)60 ± 3, S (-) 170 ± 30; BNF group: R (+)111.0 ± 1, S (-) 84 ± 5; PB group: R (+)2.0 ± 2, S (-)56.0 ± 1. The enzyme parameters compared with unpaired t tests showed that no stereoselectivity was observed in enzymatic affinity of three microsomes to enantiomers and their catalytic abilities were quite different and had stereoselectivities. Compared with the control, microsome induced by BNF enhanced enzyme activity to propranolol R (+)enantiomer, and microsome induced by PB showed less enzyme activity to propranolol S (-)-enan tiomer which remains the same stereoselectivities as that of the control.
CONCLUSION: Enzyme activity centers of the microsome were changed in composition and regioselectivity after the induction of BNF and PB, and the stereoselectivities of propranolol cytochrome P450 metabolism in rat hepatic microsomes were likely due to the stereoselectivities of the catalyzing function in enzyme. CYP-1A subfamily induced by BNF exhibited pronounced contribution to propranolol metabolism with stereoselectivity to R (+)-enantiomer. CYP-2B subfamily induced by PB exhibited moderate contribution to propranolol metabolism, but still had the stereoselectivity of S (-)-enantiomer.

Abstract
The effects of two Ca2+ antagonists nifedipine (NF) and diltiazem (DL) and of the nonselective beta-adrenergic blocking agent propranolol (PR) on the hexobarbital (HB) sleeping time and on the activity of some liver drug-metabolizing enzyme systems in male Wistar rats were studied. Two h after single oral administration PR (50 mg/kg) did not change HB sleeping time, while NF (50 mg/kg) and DL (30 mg/kg) prolonged it by 171.2 and 99.6%, respectively. Coadmistration of PR with DL or with NF significantly prolonged HB sleep by 240.7 and 129%, respectively. Only NF increased aniline 4-hidroxylase (AH) activity (by 92%) and the total P-450 content (by 24%). PR and NF increased cytochrome b5 content and this effect was also observed with the combinations PR + NF (by 109%) and PR + DL (by 102%). The NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase activity was significantly decreased by NF and DL and after their combination with PR. The ethymorphine-N-demethylase (EMND) and amidopyrine-N-demethylase (APND) activities were not changed. The effects of PR, NF and DL administrated alone or in combination on liver oxidative metabolism are considered as possible mechanisms of drug interactions.

Abstract
In vitro covalent binding of a chemically reactive metabolite of propranolol to microsomal macromolecules, which is presumed to cause inhibition of its own metabolism in rats, was diminished in liver microsomes from rats pretreated with propranolol. Covalent binding was suppressed by the addition of an antibody against P450BTL, which is a cytochrome P450 (P450) isozyme belonging to the CYP2D subfamily. SDS-PAGE of microsomal proteins after incubation with [3H]propranolol and NADPH indicated that the binding was non-selective but prominent at the molecular mass of approx. 50 kDa, corresponding to those of the P450 protein. The radioactivity peak was markedly but not completely diminished by the addition of reduced glutathione. In a reconstituted system containing P450BTL, NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (fp2) and dilauroylphosphatidylcholine, propranolol 4-, 5- and 7-hydroxylase activities decreased time dependently following preincubation with propranolol in the presence of NADPH, indicating time-dependent inactivation of P450BTL. The covalent binding of a reactive metabolite of [3H]propranolol to the proteins was also observed in this system. SDS-PAGE showed that among the three proteins in the reconstituted system, fp2 and P450BTL consisting of two polypeptides with molecular masses of 49 and 32 kDa, the binding was specific for a polypeptide corresponding to the P450 isozyme with a molecular mass of 49 kDa. In addition, the ratio of the amount of covalently bound radiolabelled materials to that of P450BTL which was estimated from each impaired propranolol hydroxylase activity under the same reconstitutional conditions was calculated to be approx. 1.0. These findings indicate that propranolol is a mechanism-based inactivator of a cytochrome P450 isozyme(s) belonging to the CYP2D subfamily.

Abstract
The effect of repetitive oral administration of propranolol (100 mg kg-1 day-1, 5 days) on the kinetics of liver microsomal propranolol metabolism was investigated in the rat. Vmax values of the high-affinity phase for biphasic kinetics of propranolol 4- and 5-hydroxylase activities were decreased by propranolol pretreatment, while those of the low-affinity phase were unchanged. The Vmax value of monophasic 7-hydroxylase activity was also decreased. On the other hand, the Vmax value of N-desisopropylase activity in the propranolol-treated rats was increased more than 2-fold compared with non-treated (control) rats, resulting in a change from monophasic in control rats to biphasic kinetics in propranolol-treated rats. These findings indicate that repetitive administration of propranolol selectively impairs a CYP2D isozyme that is involved in the high-affinity phases for propranolol ring-hydroxylations.

Abstract
The substrate stereoselectivity and enantiomer/enantiomer interaction of (S)- and (R)- propranolol for the formation of their metabolites were investigated in rat liver microsomal fractions. The enantiomers of primary metabolites of propranolol, 4-, 5-, 7-hydroxy- and N-desisopropyl-propranolol were separated and assayed by an HPLC method employing a chiral ovomucoid column. Regioselective substrate stereoselectivity (R < S for 4- and 5-hydroxylations; R > S for 7-hydroxylation; R = S for N-desisopropylation) was observed in the formation of propranolol metabolites when the individual enantiomers or a racemic mixture of propranolol were used as substrates. Concentration-dependent metabolic inhibition of propranolol enantiomers by their optical isomers was also observed. In addition, the inhibition of propranolol 4-, 5- and 7-hydroxylations between the enantiomers showed a typical competitive nature. These findings suggested that the propranolol enantiomers competed for the same enzyme, probably a cytochrome P450 isozyme in the CYP2D subfamily.

Abstract
The metabolic interaction between lidocaine (LD) and propranolol (PL) was analysed kinetically in rat liver microsomes. Employing a very short incubation time of 30 sec, we demonstrated that PL competitively inhibited liver microsomal 3-hydroxylation of LD, but did not affect either the formation of monoethylglycinexylidide or methylhydroxylidocaine from LD in PL concentrations up to 1 microM. On the other hand, LD competitively inhibited PL 4-, 5- and 7-hydroxylations, but the inhibition type of LD for PL N-desisopropylation could not be clarified. Comparison of the kinetic data for liver microsomes from Wistar and Dark Agouti rats indicated that among the primary metabolic pathways of LD, the Vmax value for 3-hydroxylation was markedly less in female Dark Agouti rats. The results suggest that LD 3-hydroxylation and PL ring hydroxylations are mediated by the same isozyme(s) belonging to the CYP2D subfamily.

Abstract
Propranolol (PL) metabolism was studied in the isolated perfused rat liver under single-pass and steady-state conditions. An attempt was made to predict the data observed in the isolated rat liver perfusion at PL infusion rates of 89-1317 nmol/min using the microsomal kinetic parameters obtained in our previous paper (Ishida et al., Biochem Pharmacol 43: 2489-2492, 1992) and the unbound PL fractions in rat liver microsomes and the perfusion medium. The values of kinetic parameters obtained in rat liver microsomes were corrected for the whole liver. Two groups of cytochrome P450 isozymes having high (Km < 0.5 microM)- and low (Km > 20 microM)-affinities participate in the metabolism of PL and sudan III pretreatment induces the low-affinity enzymes rather than the high-affinity enzymes in control rats. Of high-affinity isozyme(s) PL 4-hydroxylase and 7-hydroxylase made a major contribution to the overall activity, while for low-affinity isozymes PL 4-hydroxylase and N-desisopropylase did. A nonlinear relationship between the PL concentrations entering and leaving the liver was predicted from these corrected kinetic parameters using the venous equilibrium model. The outflow concentrations and the metabolic rates of PL for the predicted curves were over-estimated at higher inflow PL concentrations and under-estimated at higher substrate concentrations, respectively. On the other hand, the prediction for them was successfully carried out for the livers whose intrinsic clearance was altered due to the induction of low-affinity enzymes in PL metabolism by sudan III pretreatment. The outflow rates of 4-hydroxypropranolol showed a downward curvature at lower substrate concentrations, followed a linear rise in the livers from control rats, while the outflow rates of 5- and 7-hydroxypropranolol exhibited their respective limiting values. The outflow rates of 4-hydroxypropranolol and N-desisopropylpropranolol were enhanced markedly with increasing the outflow unbound concentration of PL by sudan III pretreatment. These results indicate that non-linear PL first-pass metabolism is due to the saturation of the reactions for the high-affinity enzymes among enzymes engaging in PL ring hydroxylations.
