Abstract
Data are presented on the formation of potentially toxic metabolites of drugs that are substrates of human drug metabolizing enzymes. The tabular data lists the formation of potentially toxic/reactive products. The data were obtained from in vitro experiments and showed that the oxidative reactions predominate (with 96% of the total potential toxication reactions). Reductive reactions (e.g., reduction of nitro to amino group and reductive dehalogenation) participate to the extent of 4%. Of the enzymes, cytochrome P450 (P450, CYP) enzymes catalyzed 72% of the reactions, myeloperoxidase (MPO) 7%, flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO) 3%, aldehyde oxidase (AOX) 4%, sulfotransferase (SULT) 5%, and a group of minor participating enzymes to the extent of 9%. Within the P450 Superfamily, P450 Subfamily 3A (P450 3A4 and 3A5) participates to the extent of 27% and the Subfamily 2C (P450 2C9 and P450 2C19) to the extent of 16%, together catalyzing 43% of the reactions, followed by P450 Subfamily 1A (P450 1A1 and P450 1A2) with 15%. The P450 2D6 enzyme participated in an extent of 8%, P450 2E1 in 10%, and P450 2B6 in 6% of the reactions. All other enzymes participate to the extent of 14%. The data show that, of the human enzymes analyzed, P450 enzymes were dominant in catalyzing potential toxication reactions of drugs and their metabolites, with the major role assigned to the P450 Subfamily 3A and significant participation of the P450 Subfamilies 2C and 1A, plus the 2D6, 2E1 and 2B6 enzymes contributing. Selected examples of drugs that are activated or proposed to form toxic species are discussed.

Abstract
Circadian rhythm disorders pose major risks to human health and animal production activity, and the hypothalamus is the center of circadian rhythm regulation. However, the epigenetic regulation of circadian rhythm based on farm animal models has been poorly investigated. We collected chicken hypothalamus samples at seven time points in one light/dark cycle and performed long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and mRNA sequencing to detect biomarkers associated with circadian rhythm. We enhanced the comprehensive expression profiling of ncRNAs and mRNAs in the hypothalamus and found two gene sets (circadian rhythm and retinal metabolism) associated with the light/dark cycle. Noncoding RNA networks with circadian expression patterns were identified by differential expression and circadian analysis was provided that included 38 lncRNAs, 15 circRNAs, and 200 candidate genes. Three lncRNAs (ENSGALT00000098661, ENSGALT00000100816, and MSTRG.16980.1) and one circRNA (novel_circ_010168) in the ncRNA-mRNA regulatory network were identified as key molecules influencing circadian rhythm by regulating AOX1 in retinal metabolism. These ncRNAs were predicted to be related to pernicious anemia, gonadal, eye disease and other disorders in humans. Together, the findings of this study provide insights into the epigenetic mechanisms of circadian rhythm and reveal AOX1 as a promising target of circadian rhythm regulation.

Abstract
Introduction Ganmai Dazao Decoction is a traditional Chinese recipe, and is composed of licorice, floating wheat, and jujube. Methods Effects of lactic acid bacteria fermentation on the physicochemical properties, antioxidant activity, and γ-aminobutyric acid of Ganmai Dazao Decoction were studied. The changes of small and medium molecules in Ganmai Dazao Decoction before and after fermentation were determined by LC-MS non-targeted metabolomics. Results The results showed that the contents of lactic acid, citric acid, acetic acid, and total phenol content increased significantly, DPPH free radical clearance and hydroxyl free radical clearance were significantly increased. γ-aminobutyric acid content was 12.06% higher after fermentation than before fermentation. A total of 553 differential metabolites were detected and identified from the Ganmai Dazao Decoction before and after fermentation by partial least squares discrimination and VIP analysis. Discussion Among the top 30 differential metabolites with VIP values, the content of five functional substances increased significantly. Our results showed that lactic acid bacteria fermentation of Ganmai Dazao Decoction improves its antioxidant effects and that fermentation of Ganmai Dazao Decoction with lactic acid bacteria is an innovative approach that improves the health-promoting ingredients of Ganmai Dazao Decoction.

Transplant Proc 2023; 55:1893-1895. [PMID: 37652783 DOI: 10.1016/j.transproceed.2023.08.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 09/02/2023]
Abstract
We report an unusual case of highly suspected malignant hyperthermia after inducing anesthesia in a brain-dead 18-year-old male patient undergoing organ procurement surgery. The patient was administered desflurane (3 vol%) and rocuronium bromide (50 mg) to induce and maintain general anesthesia. He experienced hypercapnia and tachycardia within 5 minutes of anesthesia induction; however, his body temperature rapidly rose only after 15 minutes. The volatile anesthetic was discontinued, and dantrolene was administered at a low dose (1 mg/kg) to avert possible hepatotoxic effects on the donor liver. Fortunately, the clinical course of the brain-dead donor until the organs were harvested and the liver transplantation outcome of the recipient was favorable. A comprehensive understanding of the pathophysiology of brain death, organ transplantation, and malignant hyperthermia is essential to respond promptly and appropriately. Based on our experience, low-dose dantrolene may be clinically used in brain-dead donors while accounting for its potential hepatotoxic effects.

Abstract
Dantrolene sodium (DS) was first introduced as an oral antispasmodic drug. However, in 1975, DS was demonstrated to be effective for managing malignant hyperthermia (MH) and was adopted as the primary therapeutic drug after intravenous administration. However, it is difficult to administer DS intravenously to manage MH. MH is life-threatening, pharmacogenomically related, and induced by depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents or inhalational anesthetics. All anesthesiologists should know the pharmacology of DS. DS suppresses Ca2+ release from ryanodine receptors (RyRs). RyRs are expressed in various tissues, although their distribution differs among subtypes. The anatomical and physiological functions of RyRs have also been demonstrated as effective therapeutic drugs for cardiac arrhythmias, Alzheimer's disease, and other RyR-related diseases. Recently, a new formulation was introduced that enhanced the hydrophilicity of the lipophilic DS. The authors summarize the pharmacological properties of DS and comment on its indications, contraindications, adverse effects, and interactions with other drugs by reviewing reference articles.

Abstract
Drug induced liver injury (DILI) occurs in patients exposed to drugs at recommended doses that leads to idiosyncratic DILI and provides an excellent human model with well described clinical features, liver injury pattern, and diagnostic criteria, based on patients assessed for causality using RUCAM (Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Method) as original method of 1993 or its update of 2016. Overall, 81,856 RUCAM based DILI cases have been published until mid of 2020, allowing now for an analysis of mechanistic issues of the disease. From selected DILI cases with verified diagnosis by using RUCAM, direct evidence was provided for the involvement of the innate and adapted immune system as well as genetic HLA (Human Leucocyte Antigen) genotypes. Direct evidence for a role of hepatic immune systems was substantiated by (1) the detection of anti-CYP (Cytochrome P450) isoforms in the plasma of affected patients, in line with the observation that 65% of the drugs most implicated in DILI are metabolized by a range of CYP isoforms, (2) the DIAIH (drug induced autoimmune hepatitis), a subgroup of idiosyncratic DILI, which is characterized by high RUCAM causality gradings and the detection of plasma antibodies such as positive serum anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) and anti-smooth muscle antibodies (ASMA), rarely also anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMA), (3) the effective treatment with glucocorticoids in part of an unselected RUCAM based DILI group, and (4) its rare association with the immune-triggered Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) caused by a small group of drugs. Direct evidence of a genetic basis of idiosyncratic DILI was shown by the association of several HLA genotypes for DILI caused by selected drugs. Finally, animal models of idiosyncratic DILI mimicking human immune and genetic features are not available and further search likely will be unsuccessful. In essence and based on cases of DILI with verified diagnosis using RUCAM for causality evaluation, there is now substantial direct evidence that immune mechanisms and genetics can account for idiosyncratic DILI by many but not all implicated drugs, which may help understand the mechanistic background of the disease and contribute to new approaches of therapy and prevention.

Abstract
Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD), a fibrocalcific thickening of the aortic valve leaflets causing obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract, affects nearly 10 million people worldwide. For those who reach end-stage CAVD, the only treatment is highly invasive valve replacement. The development of pharmaceutical treatments that can slow or reverse the progression in those affected by CAVD would greatly advance the treatment of this disease. The principal cell type responsible for the fibrocalcific thickening of the valve leaflets in CAVD is valvular interstitial cells (VICs). The cellular processes mediating this calcification are complex, but calcium second messenger signaling, regulated in part by the ryanodine receptor (RyR), has been shown to play a role in a number of other fibrocalcific diseases. We sought to determine if the blockade of calcium signaling in VICs could ameliorate calcification in an in vitro model. We previously found that VICs express RyR isotype 3 and that its modulation could prevent VIC calcific nodule formation in vitro. We sought to expand upon these results by further investigating the effects of calcium signaling blockade on VIC gene expression and behavior using dantrolene, an FDA-approved pan-RyR inhibitor. We found that dantrolene also prevented calcific nodule formation in VICs due to cholesterol-derived lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC). This protective effect corresponded with decreases in intracellular calcium flux, apoptosis, and ACTA2 expression but not reactive oxygen species formation caused by LPC. Interestingly, dantrolene increased the expression of the regulator genes RUNX2 and SOX9, indicating complex gene regulation changes. Further investigation via RNA sequencing revealed that dantrolene induced several cytoprotective genes that are likely also responsible for its attenuation of LPC-induced calcification. These results suggest that RyR3 is a viable therapeutic target for the treatment of CAVD. Further studies of the effects of RyR3 inhibition on CAVD are warranted.

Abstract
Aldehyde oxidase (AO) has garnered curiosity as a non-CYP metabolizing enzyme in drug development due to unexpected consequences such as toxic metabolite generation and high metabolic clearance resulting in the clinical failure of new drugs. Therefore, poor AO mediated clearance prediction in preclinical nonhuman species remains a significant obstacle in developing novel drugs. Various isoforms of AO, such as AOX1, AOX3, AOX3L1, and AOX4 exist across species, and different AO activity among humans influences the AO mediated drug metabolism. Therefore, carefully considering the unique challenges is essential in developing successful AO substrate drugs. The in vitro to in vivo extrapolation underpredicts AO mediated drug clearance due to the lack of reliable representative animal models, substrate-specific activity, and the discrepancy between absolute concentration and activity. An in vitro tool to extrapolate in vivo clearance using a yard-stick approach is provided to address the underprediction of AO mediated drug clearance. This approach uses a range of well-known AO drug substrates as calibrators for qualitative scaling new drugs into low, medium, or high clearance category drugs. So far, in vivo investigations on chimeric mice with humanized livers (humanized mice) have predicted AO mediated metabolism to the best extent. This review addresses the critical aspects of the drug discovery stage for AO metabolism studies, challenges faced in drug development, approaches to tackle AO mediated drug clearance's underprediction, and strategies to decrease the AO metabolism of drugs.

Abstract
This is an overview of the metabolic reactions of drugs, natural products, physiological compounds, and other (general) chemicals catalyzed by flavin monooxygenase (FMO), monoamine oxidase (MAO), NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase (NQO), and molybdenum hydroxylase enzymes (aldehyde oxidase (AOX) and xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR)), including roles as substrates, inducers, and inhibitors of the enzymes. The metabolism and bioactivation of selected examples of each group (i.e., drugs, "general chemicals," natural products, and physiological compounds) are discussed. We identified a higher fraction of bioactivation reactions for FMO enzymes compared to other enzymes, predominately involving drugs and general chemicals. With MAO enzymes, physiological compounds predominate as substrates, and some products lead to unwanted side effects or illness. AOX and XOR enzymes are molybdenum hydroxylases that catalyze the oxidation of various heteroaromatic rings and aldehydes and the reduction of a number of different functional groups. While neither of these two enzymes contributes substantially to the metabolism of currently marketed drugs, AOX has become a frequently encountered route of metabolism among drug discovery programs in the past 10-15 years. XOR has even less of a role in the metabolism of clinical drugs and preclinical drug candidates than AOX, likely due to narrower substrate specificity.

Abstract
Aldehyde oxidase 1 (AOX1) is a molybdenum-containing enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of a range of aldehyde compounds and clinical drugs, including azathioprine and methotrexate. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effects of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the coding regions of the human AOX1 gene on protein dimer formation and metabolic activity. Six variants (Q314R [rs58185012], I598N [rs143935618], T755I [rs35217482], A1083G [rs139092129], N1135S [rs55754655], and H1297R [rs3731722]), with allele frequencies greater than 0.01 in 1 or more population, were obtained from the genome aggregation and 1000 Genomes project databases. Protein expression and dimer formation were evaluated using HEK293T cells expressing the wild-type (WT) or different SNP variants of AOX1. Kinetic analyses of phthalazine oxidation were performed using S9 fractions of HEK293T cells expressing WT or each the different mutant AOX1. Although we detected no significant differences among WT AOX1 and the different variants with respect to total protein expression, native PAGE analysis indicated that one of the SNP variants, T755I, found in East Asian populations, dimerizes less efficiently than the WT AOX1. Kinetic analysis, using phthalazine as a typical substrate, revealed that this mutation contributes to a reduction in the maximal rates of reaction without affecting enzyme affinity for phthalazine. Our observation thus indicates that the T755I variant has significantly negative effects on both the dimer formation and in vitro catalytic activity of AOX1. These findings may provide valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying the inter-individual differences in the therapeutic efficacy or toxicity of AOX1 substrate drugs. Significance Statement The T755l (rs35217482) SNP variant of the AOX1 protein, which is prominent in East Asian populations, suppresses protein dimer formation, resulting in a reduction in the reaction velocity of phthalazine oxidation to less than half of that of wild-type AOX1.

Abstract
Pirfenidone is a first-line drug for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The primary metabolic pathways of pirfenidone in humans are 5-hydroxylation and subsequent oxidation to 5-carboxylpirfenidone. The aims of this study were to determine the cytochrome P450 isoforms responsible for pirfenidone 5-hydroxylation and to evaluate their contributions in human liver microsomes (HLM).Among the recombinant P450 isoforms, CYP1A2, CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP2A6, and CYP2B6 were shown to catalyse the 5-hydroxylation of pirfenidone. Pirfenidone 5-hydroxylase activity by HLM was inhibited by α-naphthoflavone (by 45%), 8-methoxypsolaren (by 84%), tranylcypromine (by 53%), and quinidine (by 15%), which are CYP1A2, CYP1A2/CYP2A6/CYP2C19, CYP2A6/CYP2C19, and CYP2D6 inhibitors, respectively.In 17 individual HLM donors, pirfenidone 5-hydroxylase activity was significantly correlated with phenacetin O-deethylase (r = 0.89, P < 0.001) and S-mephenytoin 4'-hydroxylase activities (r = 0.51, P < 0.05), which are CYP1A2 and CYP2C19 marker activities, respectively.By using the relative activity factors, the contributions of CYP1A2, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6 to pirfenidone 5-hydroxylation in the human liver were 72.8%, 11.8%, and 8.9%, respectively.In conclusion, we clearly demonstrated the predominant P450 involved in pirfenidone 5-hydroxylation in the human liver is CYP1A2, with CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 playing a minor role.

Non-cytochrome P450 enzymes involved in the oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics: Focus on the regulation of gene expression and enzyme activity. Pharmacol Ther 2021; 233:108020. [PMID: 34637840 DOI: 10.1016/j.pharmthera.2021.108020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2021] [Revised: 09/25/2021] [Accepted: 10/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Oxidative metabolism is one of the major biotransformation reactions that regulates the exposure of xenobiotics and their metabolites in the circulatory system and local tissues and organs, and influences their efficacy and toxicity. Although cytochrome (CY)P450s play critical roles in the oxidative reaction, extensive CYP450-independent oxidative metabolism also occurs in some xenobiotics, such as aldehyde oxidase, xanthine oxidoreductase, flavin-containing monooxygenase, monoamine oxidase, alcohol dehydrogenase, or aldehyde dehydrogenase-dependent oxidative metabolism. Drugs form a large portion of xenobiotics and are the primary target of this review. The common reaction mechanisms and roles of non-CYP450 enzymes in metabolism, factors affecting the expression and activity of non-CYP450 enzymes in terms of inhibition, induction, regulation, and species differences in pharmaceutical research and development have been summarized. These non-CYP450 enzymes are detoxifying enzymes, although sometimes they mediate severe toxicity. Synthetic or natural chemicals serve as inhibitors for these non-CYP450 enzymes. However, pharmacokinetic-based drug interactions through these inhibitors have rarely been reported in vivo. Although multiple mechanisms participate in the basal expression and regulation of non-CYP450 enzymes, only a limited number of inducers upregulate their expression. Therefore, these enzymes are considered non-inducible or less inducible. Overall, this review focuses on the potential xenobiotic factors that contribute to variations in gene expression levels and the activities of non-CYP450 enzymes.

Abstract
Most clinically used drugs are metabolized in the body via oxidation, reduction, or hydrolysis reactions, which are considered phase I reactions. Cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes, which primarily catalyze oxidation reactions, contribute to the metabolism of over 50% of clinically used drugs. In the last few decades, the function and regulation of P450s have been extensively studied, whereas the characterization of non-P450 phase I enzymes is still incomplete. Recent studies suggest that approximately 30% of drug metabolism is carried out by non-P450 enzymes. This review summarizes current knowledge of non-P450 phase I enzymes, focusing on their roles in controlling drug efficacy and adverse reactions as an important aspect of drug development. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Volume 62 is January 2022.

Abstract
Introduction: Many drugs are known to induce malignant syndromes. The most common malignant syndromes are induced by the use of antipsychotics and anesthetics and the withdrawal of anti-Parkinson drugs. As the clinical manifestations of antipsychotic malignant syndrome, Parkinson's disease hyperpyrexia syndrome and anesthetic-induced malignant syndrome are very similar, they are easily confused in the clinic.Areas covered: We reviewed articles published between 1960 and April 2021 describing malignant syndromes. This paper provides a detailed literature review of malignant syndromes and important guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of malignant syndromes to clinicians.Expert opinion: Although malignant syndromes are rare conditions with a low incidence, these conditions usually progress rapidly and can endanger patients' lives, meriting attention from clinicians. The typical clinical manifestations of malignant syndromes are hyperpyrexia, muscular rigidity, an altered mental status and increased levels of creatine kinase; however, the pathophysiology, treatment and prognosis of different malignant syndromes are quite different. Prompt diagnosis and treatment may significantly improve the prognosis of patients with malignant syndromes.

Abstract
Clinical features of idiosyncratic drug induced liver injury (DILI) are well described in cases that have been assessed for causality using the Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Method (RUCAM), but our understanding of the mechanistic steps leading to injury is fragmentary. The difficulties describing mechanistic events can be traced back to the lack of an animal model of experimental idiosyncratic DILI that can mimic the genetic requirements of human idiosyncratic DILI. However, immune tolerance plays a dominant role in the immune response of the liver, and impairment of immune tolerance with immune checkpoint inhibitors increases DILI in both humans and animals. This may provide one method to study the individual steps involved. In general. the human DILI liver is a secret keeper providing little insight into what occurs in the diseased organ. Sufficient evidence exists that most idiosyncratic cases are mediated by the adaptive immune system, which depends on stimulation of the innate immune system, but the triggering factors are unknown. It is attractive to hypothesize that the gut microbiome plays a role; however, it is very difficult to study. Similarly, exosomes are likely to play an important role in communication between hepatic cells and the immune system, but there is a lack of data on blood exosomes in affected patients. Reactive metabolites are likely to play an important role. This is supported by the current analysis, which revealed an association between metabolism by cytochrome P450 and drugs most commonly involved in causing idiosyncratic DILI with causality verified by RUCAM. Circumstantial evidence suggests that reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by cytochrome P450 could be responsible for the initial steps of injury, but details are unknown. In conclusion, most of the mechanistic steps leading to idiosyncratic DILI remain unclear.

Abstract
Aldehyde oxidase (AO) has emerged as an important drug metabolizing enzyme over the last decade. Several compounds have failed in the clinic because the clearance or toxicity was underestimated by preclinical species. Human AO is much more active than rodent AO, and dogs do not have functional AO. Metabolic products from AO-catalyzed oxidation are generally nonreactive and often they have much lower solubility. AO metabolism is not limited to oxidation as AO can also catalyze reduction of oxygen and nitrite. Reduction of oxygen leads to the reactive oxygen species (ROS) superoxide radical anion and hydrogen peroxide. Reduction of nitrite leads to the formation of nitric oxide with potential pharmacological implications. AO is also reported to catalyze the reductive metabolism of nitro-compounds, N-oxides, sulfoxides, isoxazoles, isothiazoles, nitrite, and hydroxamic acids. These reductive transformations may cause toxicity due to the formation of reactive metabolites. Moreover, the inhibition kinetics are complex, and multiple probe substrates should be used when assessing the potential for DDIs. Finally, AO appears to be amenable to computational predictions of both regioselectivity and rates of reaction, which holds promise for virtual screening.

Abstract
The estimation of the drug clearance by aldehyde oxidase (AO) has been complicated because of this enzyme's atypical kinetics and species and substrate specificity. Since human AO (hAO) and cynomolgus monkey AO (mAO) have a 95.1% sequence identity, cynomolgus monkeys may be the best species for estimating AO clearance in humans. Here, O6-benzylguanine (O6BG) and dantrolene were used under anaerobic conditions, as oxidative and reductive substrates of AO, respectively, to compare and contrast the kinetics of these two species through numerical modeling. Whereas dantrolene reduction followed the same linear kinetics in both species, the oxidation rate of O6BG was also linear in mAO and did not follow the already established biphasic kinetics of hAO. In an attempt to determine why hAO and mAO are kinetically distinct, we have altered the hAO V811 and F885 amino acids at the oxidation site adjacent to the molybdenum pterin cofactor to the corresponding alanine and leucine in mAO, respectively. Although some shift to a more monkey-like kinetics was observed for the V811A mutant, five more mutations around the AO cofactors still need to be investigated for this purpose. In comparing the oxidative and reductive rates of metabolism under anaerobic conditions, we have come to the conclusion that despite having similar rates of reduction (4-fold difference), the oxidation rate in mAO is more than 50-fold slower than hAO. This finding implies that the presence of nonlinearity in AO kinetics is dependent upon the degree of imbalance between the rates of oxidation and reduction in this enzyme. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Although they have as much as 95.1% sequence identity, human and cynomolgus monkey aldehyde oxidase are kinetically distinct. Therefore, monkeys may not be good estimators of drug clearance in humans.

Abstract
Aldehyde oxidase (AO) catalyzes oxidations of azaheterocycles and aldehydes, amide hydrolysis, and diverse reductions. AO substrates are rare among marketed drugs, and many candidates failed due to poor pharmacokinetics, interspecies differences, and adverse effects. As most issues arise from complex and poorly understood AO biology, an effective solution is to stop or decrease AO metabolism. This perspective focuses on rational drug design approaches to modulate AO-mediated metabolism in drug discovery. AO biological aspects are also covered, as they are complementary to chemical design and important when selecting the experimental system for risk assessment. The authors' recommendation is an early consideration of AO-mediated metabolism supported by computational and in vitro experimental methods but not an automatic avoidance of AO structural flags, many of which are versatile and valuable building blocks. Preferably, consideration of AO-mediated metabolism should be part of the multiparametric drug optimization process, with the goal to improve overall drug-like properties.

Abstract
Aldehyde oxidase (AO) is a cytosolic enzyme that belongs to the family of structurally related molybdoflavoproteins like xanthine oxidase (XO). The enzyme is characterized by broad substrate specificity and marked species differences. It catalyzes the oxidation of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes and various heteroaromatic rings as well as reduction of several functional groups. The references to AO and its role in metabolism date back to the 1950s, but the importance of this enzyme in the metabolism of drugs has emerged in the past fifteen years. Several reviews on the role of AO in drug metabolism have been published in the past decade indicative of the growing interest in the enzyme and its influence in drug metabolism. Here, we present a comprehensive monograph of AO as a drug metabolizing enzyme with emphasis on marketed drugs as well as other xenobiotics, as substrates and inhibitors. Although the number of drugs that are primarily metabolized by AO are few, the impact of AO on drug development has been extensive. We also discuss the effect of AO on the systemic exposure and clearance these clinical candidates. The review provides a comprehensive analysis of drug discovery compounds involving AO with the focus on developmental candidates that were reported in the past five years with regards to pharmacokinetics and toxicity. While there is only one known report of AO-mediated clinically relevant drug-drug interaction (DDI), a detailed description of inhibitors and inducers of AO known to date has been presented here and the potential risks associated with DDI. The increasing recognition of the importance of AO has led to significant progress in predicting the site of AO-mediated metabolism using computational methods. Additionally, marked species difference in expression of AO makes it is difficult to predict human clearance with high confidence. The progress made towards developing in vivo, in vitro and in silico approaches for predicting AO metabolism and estimating human clearance of compounds that are metabolized by AO have also been discussed.

Abstract
Many promising drug candidates metabolized by aldehyde oxidase (AOX) fail during clinical trial owing to underestimation of their clearance. AOX is species-specific, which makes traditional allometric studies a poor choice for estimating human clearance. Other studies have suggested using half-life calculated by measuring substrate depletion to measure clearance. In this study, we proposed using numerical fitting to enzymatic pathways other than Michaelis-Menten (MM) to avoid missing the initial high turnover rate of product formation. Here, product formation over a 240-minute time course of six AOX substrates-O6-benzylguanine, N-(2-dimethylamino)ethyl)acridine-4-carboxamide, zaleplon, phthalazine, BIBX1382 [N8-(3-Chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-N2-(1-methyl-4-piperidinyl)-pyrimido[5,4-d]pyrimidine-2,8-diamine dihydrochloride], and zoniporide-have been provided to illustrate enzyme deactivation over time to help better understand why MM kinetics sometimes leads to underestimation of rate constants. Based on the data provided in this article, the total velocity for substrates becomes slower than the initial velocity by 3.1-, 6.5-, 2.9-, 32.2-, 2.7-, and 0.2-fold, respectively, in human expressed purified enzyme, whereas the K m remains constant. Also, our studies on the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as superoxide and hydrogen peroxide, show that ROS did not significantly alter the change in enzyme activity over time. Providing a new electron acceptor, 5-nitroquinoline, did, however, alter the change in rate over time for mumerous compounds. The data also illustrate the difficulties in using substrate disappearance to estimate intrinsic clearance.
