Abstract
Food allergy (FA) poses a growing global food safety concern, yet no effective cure exists in clinics. Previously, we discovered a potent antifood allergy compound, butyrolactone I (BTL-I, 1), from the deep sea. Unfortunately, it has a very low exposure and poor pharmacokinetic (PK) profile in rats. Therefore, a series of structural optimizations toward the metabolic pathways of BTL-I were conducted to provide 18 derives (2-19). Among them, BTL-MK (19) showed superior antiallergic activity and favorable pharmacokinetics compared to BTL-I, being twice as potent with a clearance (CL) rate of only 0.5% that of BTL-I. By oral administration, Cmax and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC0-∞) were 565 and 204 times higher than those of BTL-I, respectively. These findings suggest that butyrolactone methyl ketone (BTL-BK) could serve as a drug candidate for the treatment of FAs and offer valuable insights into optimizing the druggability of lead compounds.

Abstract
In the field of drug discovery, natural products have emerged as therapeutic agents for diseases such as cancer. However, their potential toxicity poses significant obstacles in the developing effective drug candidates. To overcome this limitation, we propose a pathway-screening method based on imaging analysis to evaluate cellular stress caused by natural products. We have established a cellular stress sensing system, named Hepa-ToxMOA, which utilizes HepG2 cells expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) fluorescence under the control of transcription factor response elements (TREs) for transcription factors (AP1, P53, Nrf2, and NF-κB). Additionally, to augment the drug metabolic activity of the HepG2 cell line, we evaluated the cytotoxicity of 40 natural products with and without S9 fraction-based metabolic activity. Our finding revealed different activities of Hepa-ToxMOA depending on metabolic or non-metabolic activity, highlighting the involvement of specific cellular stress pathways. Our results suggest that developing a Hepa-ToxMOA system based on activity of drug metabolizing enzyme provides crucial insights into the molecular mechanisms initiating cellular stress during liver toxicity screening for natural products. The pathway-screening method addresses challenges related to the potential toxicity of natural products, advancing their translation into viable therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Various control strategies are available for building fluorogenic probes to visualize biological events in terms of a fluorescence change. Here, we performed the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) computational analysis of the twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) process in rhodamine dyes. On the basis of the results, we designed and synthesized a series of rhodamine dyes and established a fluorescence quenching strategy that we call steric repulsion-induced TICT (sr-TICT), in which the fluorescence quenching process is greatly accelerated by simple intramolecular twisting. As proof of concept of this design strategy, we used it to develop a fluorogenic probe, 2-Me PeER (pentyloxyethylrhodamine), for the N-dealkylation activity of CYP3A4. We applied 2-Me PeER for CYP3A4 activity-based fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), providing access to homogeneous, highly functional human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived hepatocytes and intestinal epithelial cells. Our results suggest that sr-TICT represents a general fluorescence control method for fluorogenic probes.

Abstract
CYP3A is one of the most important classes of enzymes and is involved in the metabolism of over 70% drugs. While several selective CYP3A4 inhibitors have been identified, the search for a selective CYP3A5 inhibitor has turned out to be rather challenging. Recently, several selective CYP3A5 inhibitors have been identified through high-throughput screening of ~ 11,000 compounds and hit expansion using human recombinant enzymes. We set forth to characterize the three most selective CYP3A5 inhibitors in a more physiologically relevant system of human liver microsomes to understand if these inhibitors can be used for reaction phenotyping studies in drug discovery settings. Gomisin A and T-5 were used as selective substrate reactions for CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 to determine IC50 values of the two enzymes. The results showed that clobetasol propionate and loteprednol etabonate were potent and selective CYP3A5 reversible inhibitors with selectivity of 24-fold against CYP3A4 and 39-fold or more against the other major CYPs. The selectivity of difluprednate in HLM is much weaker than that in the recombinant enzymes due to hydrolysis of the acetate group in HLM. Based on the selectivity data, loteprednol etabonate can be utilized as an orthogonal approach, when experimental fraction metabolized of CYP3A5 is greater than 0.5, to understand CYP3A5 contribution to drug metabolism and its clinical significance. Future endeavors to identify even more selective CYP3A5 inhibitors are warranted to enable accurate determination of CYP3A5 contribution to metabolism versus CYP3A4.

Abstract
Mammalian cytochrome P450 1A (CYP1A) are key phase I xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes that play a distinctive role in metabolic activation or metabolic clearance of a variety of procarcinogens, drugs, and endogenous substances. Human CYP1A subfamily contains two members (hCYP1A1 and hCYP1A2), which are known to catalyze the oxidative activation of some environmental procarcinogens into carcinogenic species. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that CYP1A inhibitor therapies are promising strategies for cancer chemoprevention or overcoming CYP1A-associated drug toxicity and resistance. Herein, we reviewed recent advances in the discovery and characterization of hCYP1A inhibitors, from the discovery approaches to structural features and biomedical applications of hCYP1A inhibitors. The inhibition potentials, inhibition modes, and inhibition constants of all reported hCYP1A inhibitors are comprehensively summarized. Meanwhile, the structural features and structure-activity relationships of different classes of hCYP1A1 and hCYP1A2 inhibitors are analyzed and discussed in depth. Furthermore, the major challenges and future directions for this field are presented and highlighted. Collectively, the information and knowledge presented here will strongly facilitate the researchers to discover and develop more efficacious CYP1A inhibitors for specific purposes, such as chemo-preventive agents or as tool molecules in hCYP1A-related fundamental studies.

Abstract
Lekethromycin (LKMS) is a synthetic macrolide compound derivative intended for use as a veterinary medicine. Since there have been no in vitro studies evaluating its potential for drug-drug interactions related to cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes, the effect of the inhibitory mechanisms of LKMS on CYP450 enzymes is still unclear. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effects of LKMS on dog CYP450 enzymes. A cocktail approach using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was conducted to investigate the inhibitory effect of LKMS on canine CYP450 enzymes. Typical probe substrates of phenacetin, coumarin, bupropion, tolbutamide, dextromethorphan, chlorzoxazone, and testosterone were used for CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, and CYP3A4, respectively. This study showed that LKMS might not be a time-dependent inhibitor. LKMS inhibited CYP2A6, CYP2B6, and CYP2D6 via mixed inhibition. LKMS exhibited mixed-type inhibition against the activity of CYP2A6 with an inhibition constant (Ki) value of 135.6 μΜ. LKMS inhibited CYP2B6 in a mixed way, with Ki values of 59.44 μM. A phenotyping study based on an inhibition assay indicated that CYP2D6 contributes to the biotransformation of LKMS. A mixed inhibition of CYP2D6 with Ki values of 64.87 μM was also observed. Given that this study was performed in vitro, further in vivo studies should be conducted to identify the interaction between LKMS and canine CYP450 enzymes to provide data support for the clinical application of LKMS and the avoidance of adverse interactions between other drugs.

Abstract
Interindividual variability in drug metabolism can significantly affect drug concentrations in the body and subsequent drug response. Understanding an individual's drug metabolism capacity is important for predicting drug exposure and developing precision medicine strategies. The goal of precision medicine is to individualize drug treatment for patients to maximize efficacy and minimize drug toxicity. While advances in pharmacogenomics have improved our understanding of how genetic variations in drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) affect drug response, nongenetic factors are also known to influence drug metabolism phenotypes. This minireview discusses approaches beyond pharmacogenetic testing to phenotype DMEs-particularly the cytochrome P450 enzymes-in clinical settings. Several phenotyping approaches have been proposed: traditional approaches include phenotyping with exogenous probe substrates and the use of endogenous biomarkers; newer approaches include evaluating circulating noncoding RNAs and liquid biopsy-derived markers relevant to DME expression and function. The goals of this minireview are to 1) provide a high-level overview of traditional and novel approaches to phenotype individual drug metabolism capacity, 2) describe how these approaches are being applied or can be applied to pharmacokinetic studies, and 3) discuss perspectives on future opportunities to advance precision medicine in diverse populations. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This minireview provides an overview of recent advances in approaches to characterize individual drug metabolism phenotypes in clinical settings. It highlights the integration of existing pharmacokinetic biomarkers with novel approaches; also discussed are current challenges and existing knowledge gaps. The article concludes with perspectives on the future deployment of a liquid biopsy-informed physiologically based pharmacokinetic strategy for patient characterization and precision dosing.

Abstract
The development of heterogeneous asymmetric catalysts has attracted increasing interest in synthetic chemistry but mostly relies on the immobilization of homogeneous chiral catalysts. Herein, a series of chiral metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been fabricated by anchoring similar chiral hydroxylated molecules (catalytically inactive) with different lengths onto Zr-oxo clusters in achiral PCN-222(Cu). The resulting chiral MOFs exhibit regulated enantioselectivity up to 83 % ee in the asymmetric ring-opening of cyclohexene oxide. The chiral molecules furnished onto the catalytic Lewis sites in the MOF create multilevel microenvironment, including the hydrogen interaction between the substrate and the chiral -OH group, the steric hindrance endowed by the benzene ring on the chiral molecules, and the proximity between the catalytic sites and chiral molecules confined in the MOF pores, which play crucial roles and synergistically promote chiral catalysis. This work nicely achieves heterogeneous enantioselective catalysis by chiral microenvironment modulation around Lewis acid sites.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is a key xenobiotic-metabolizing enzyme-mediated drug metabolism and drug-drug interaction (DDI). Herein, an effective strategy was used to rationally construct a practical two-photon fluorogenic substrate for hCYP3A4. Following two-round structure-based substrate discovery and optimization, we have successfully constructed a hCYP3A4 fluorogenic substrate (F8) with desirable features, including high binding affinity, rapid response, excellent isoform specificity, and low cytotoxicity. Under physiological conditions, F8 is readily metabolized by hCYP3A4 to form a brightly fluorescent product (4-OH F8) that can be easily detected by various fluorescence devices. The practicality of F8 for real-time sensing and functional imaging of hCYP3A4 has been examined in tissue preparations, living cells, and organ slices. F8 also demonstrates good performance for high-throughput screening of hCYP3A4 inhibitors and assessing DDI potentials in vivo. Collectively, this study develops an advanced molecular tool for sensing CYP3A4 activities in biological systems, which strongly facilitates CYP3A4-associated fundamental and applied research studies.

Abstract
In the present work, screen-printed electrodes (SPE) modified with a synthetic surfactant, didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) and streptolysin O (SLO) were prepared for cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) immobilization, direct non-catalytic and catalytic electrochemistry. The immobilized CYP3A4 demonstrated a pair of redox peaks with a formal potential of -0.325 ± 0.024 V (vs. the Ag/AgCl reference electrode). The electron transfer process showed a surface-controlled mechanism ("protein film voltammetry") with an electron transfer rate constant (ks) of 0.203 ± 0.038 s-1. Electrochemical CYP3A4-mediated reaction of N-demethylation of erythromycin was explored with the following parameters: an applied potential of -0.5 V and a duration time of 20 min. The system with DDAB/SLO as the electrode modifier showed conversion of erythromycin with an efficiency higher than the electrode modified with DDAB only. Confining CYP3A4 inside the protein frame of SLO accelerated the enzymatic reaction. The increases in product formation in the reaction of the electrochemical N-demethylation of erythromycin for SPE/DDAB/CYP3A4 and SPE/DDAB/SLO/CYP3A4 were equal to 100 ± 22% and 297 ± 7%, respectively. As revealed by AFM images, the SPE/DDAB/SLO possessed a more developed surface with protein cavities in comparison with SPE/DDAB for the effective immobilization of the CYP3A4 enzyme.

Abstract
Precision medicine gives individuals tailored medical treatment, with the genotype determining the therapeutic strategy, the appropriate dosage, and the likelihood of benefit or toxicity. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme families 1, 2, and 3 play a pivotal role in eliminating most drugs. Factors that affect CYP function and expression have a major impact on treatment outcomes. Therefore, polymorphisms of these enzymes result in alleles with diverse enzymatic activity and drug metabolism phenotypes. Africa has the highest CYP genetic diversity and also the highest burden of malaria and tuberculosis, and this review presents current general information on CYP enzymes together with variation data concerning antimalarial and antituberculosis drugs, while focusing on the first three CYP families. Afrocentric alleles such as CYP2A6*17, CYP2A6*23, CYP2A6*25, CYP2A6*28, CYP2B6*6, CYP2B6*18, CYP2C8*2, CYP2C9*5, CYP2C9*8, CYP2C9*9, CYP2C19*9, CYP2C19*13, CYP2C19*15, CYP2D6*2, CYP2D6*17, CYP2D6*29, and CYP3A4*15 are implicated in diverse metabolic phenotypes of different antimalarials such as artesunate, mefloquine, quinine, primaquine, and chloroquine. Moreover, CYP3A4, CYP1A1, CYP2C8, CYP2C18, CYP2C19, CYP2J2, and CYP1B1 are implicated in the metabolism of some second-line antituberculosis drugs such as bedaquiline and linezolid. Drug-drug interactions, induction/inhibition, and enzyme polymorphisms that influence the metabolism of antituberculosis, antimalarial, and other drugs, are explored. Moreover, a mapping of Afrocentric missense mutations to CYP structures and a documentation of their known effects provided structural insights, as understanding the mechanism of action of these enzymes and how the different alleles influence enzyme function is invaluable to the advancement of precision medicine.

Abstract
Cytochrome (CYP) enzymes catalyze the metabolism of numerous exogenous and endogenous substrates in cancer therapy leading to significant drug interactions due to their metabolizing effect. CYP enzymes play an important role in the metabolism of essential anticancer medications. They are shown to be overexpressed in tumor cells at numerous locations in the body. This overexpression could be a result of lifestyle factors, presence of hereditary variants of CYP (Bio individuality) and multi-drug resistance. This finding has sparked an interest in using CYP inhibitors to lower their metabolizing activity as a result facilitating anti-cancer medications to have a therapeutic impact. As a result of the cytotoxic nature of synthetic enzyme inhibitors and the increased prevalence of herbal medication, natural CYP inhibitors have been identified as an excellent way to inhibit overexpression sighting their tendency to show less cytotoxicity, lesser adverse drug reactions and enhanced bioavailability. Nonetheless, their effect of lowering the hindrance caused in chemotherapy due to CYP enzymes remains unexploited to its fullest. It has been observed that there is a substantial decrease in first pass metabolism and increase in intestinal absorption of chemotherapeutic drugs like paclitaxel when administered along with flavonoids which help suppress certain specific cytochrome enzymes which play a role in paclitaxel metabolism. This review elaborates on the role and scope of phytochemicals in primary, secondary and tertiary care and how targeted prevention of cancer could be a breakthrough in the field of chemotherapy and oncology. This opens up a whole new area of research for delivery of these natural inhibitors along with anticancer drugs with the help of liposomes, micelles, nanoparticles, the usage of liquid biopsy analysis, artificial intelligence in medicine, risk assessment tools, multi-omics and multi-parametric analysis. Further, the site of action, mechanisms, metabolites involved, experimental models, doses and observations of two natural compounds, quercetin & thymoquinone, and two plant extracts, liquorice & garlic on CYP enzymes have been summarized.

Abstract
Human cytochrome P450 3A4 (hCYP3A4) is a predominant enzyme to trigger clinically relevant drug/herb-drug interactions (DDIs or HDIs). Although a number of herbal medicines have been found with strong anti-hCYP3A4 effects in vitro, the in vivo modulatory effects of herbal medicines on hCYP3A4 and their potential risks to trigger HDIs are rarely investigated. Herein, we demonstrate a case study to efficiently find the herbal medicine(s) with potent hCYP3A4 inhibition in vitro and to accurately assess the potential HDIs risk in vivo. Following screening over 100 herbal medicines, the Chinese herb Styrax was found with the most potent hCYP3A4 inhibition in HLMs. In vitro assays demonstrated that Styrax could potently inhibit mammalian CYP3A in liver and intestinal microsomes from both humans and rats. In vivo pharmacokinetic assays showed that Styrax (i.g., 100 mg/kg) significantly elevated the plasma exposure of two CYP3A-substrate drugs (midazolam and felodipine) when midazolam or felodipine was administered orally. By contrast, the plasma exposure of either midazolam or felodipine was hardly affected by Styrax (i.g.) when the victim drug was administered intravenously. Further investigations demonstrated that seven pentacyclic triterpenoid acids (PTAs) in Styrax were key substances responsible for CYP3A inhibition, while these PTAs could be exposed to intestinal tract at relatively high exposure levels but their exposure levels in rat plasma and liver were extremely low. These findings well explained why Styrax (i.g.) could elevate the plasma exposure of victim drugs only when these agents were orally administrated. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that Styrax can modulate the pharmacokinetic behavior of CYP3A-substrate drugs via inhibiting intestinal CYP3A, which is very helpful for the clinical pharmacologists to better assess the HDIs triggered by Styrax or Styrax-related herbal products.

Abstract
Although investigating drug modulation of cytochrome P450 (CYP) activity under physiological conditions is crucial in drug development to avoid severe adverse drug reactions, the current evaluation approaches that rely on the destructive and end-point analysis can be misleading due to invasive treatments and cellular heterogeneity. Here, we propose a non-destructive and high-content method for visualizing and quantifying intracellular CYP activity under drug administration by Raman microscopy. The redox-state and spin-state sensitive Raman measurement indicated that the induced CYPs in living hepatocytes were in oxidized and low-spin state, which is related to monooxygenase function of CYP. Moreover, glycogen depletion associated with CYP induction was simultaneously observed, indicating a relevant effect on glucose metabolism. By deciphering the overall changes in the biochemical fingerprints of hepatocytes, Raman microscopy offers a non-destructive and quantitative chemical imaging method to evaluate CYP activity at the single-cell level with the potential to facilitate future drug development schemes.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) is a major drug-metabolizing enzyme system mainly distributed in liver microsomes and involved in the metabolism of many endogenous substances (such as fatty acids and arachidonic acids), and exogenous compounds (such as drugs, toxicants, carcinogens, and procarcinogens). Due to the similarity in structures and catalytic functions between CYP450 isoforms, the lack of effective selective detection tools greatly limits the understanding and the research of their respective physiological roles in living organisms. Until now, several small-molecular fluorescent probes have been employed for selective detection and monitoring of CYP450s (Cytochrome P450 enzymes) in vitro or in vivo owing to the tailored properties, biodegradability, and high temporal and spatial resolution imaging in situ. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in fluorescent probes for CYP450s (including CYP1, CYP2, and CYP3 families), and we discuss and focus on their identification mechanisms, general probe design strategies, and bioimaging applications. We also highlight the potential challenges and prospects of designing new generations of fluorescent probes in CYP450 studies, which will further enhance the diversity, practicality, and clinical feasibility of research into CYP450.

Abstract
Dimethomorph (DMM), an effective and broad-spectrum fungicide applied in agriculture, is toxic to environments and living organisms due to the hazardous nature of its toxic residues. This study aims to investigate the human cytochrome P450 enzyme (CYP)-mediated oxidative metabolism of DMM by combining experimental and computational approaches. Dimethomorph was metabolized predominantly through a two-step oxidation process mediated by CYPs, and CYP3A was identified as the major contributor to DMM sequential oxidative metabolism. Meanwhile, DMM elicited the mechanism-based inactivation (MBI) of CYP3A in a suicide manner, and the iminium ion and epoxide reactive intermediates generated in DMM metabolism were identified as the culprits of MBI. Furthermore, three common pesticides, prochloraz (PCZ), difenoconazole (DFZ) and chlorothalonil (CTL), could significantly inhibit CYP3A-mediated DMM metabolism, and consequently trigger elevated exposure to DMM in vivo. Computational studies elucidated that the differentiation effects in charge distribution and the interaction pattern played crucial roles in DMM-induced MBI of CYP3A4 during sequential oxidative metabolism. Collectively, this study provided a global view of the two-step metabolic activation process of DMM mediated by CYP3A, which was beneficial for elucidating the environmental fate and toxicological mechanism of DMM in humans from a new perspective.

Abstract
Drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs), a diverse group of enzymes responsible for the metabolic elimination of drugs and other xenobiotics, have been recognized as the critical determinants to drug safety and efficacy. Deciphering and understanding the key roles of individual DMEs in drug metabolism and toxicity, as well as characterizing the interactions of central DMEs with xenobiotics require reliable, practical and highly specific tools for sensing the activities of these enzymes in biological systems. In the last few decades, the scientists have developed a variety of optical substrates for sensing human DMEs, parts of them have been successfully used for studying target enzyme(s) in tissue preparations and living systems. Herein, molecular design principals and recent advances in the development and applications of optical substrates for human DMEs have been reviewed systematically. Furthermore, the challenges and future perspectives in this field are also highlighted. The presented information offers a group of practical approaches and imaging tools for sensing DMEs activities in complex biological systems, which strongly facilitates high-throughput screening the modulators of target DMEs and studies on drug/herb‒drug interactions, as well as promotes the fundamental researches for exploring the relevance of DMEs to human diseases and drug treatment outcomes.

Abstract
The electrochemical properties of cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) and polymorphic modifications P450 2C9*2 (CYP2C9*2) and P450 2C9*3 (CYP2C9*3) were studied. To analyze the comparative electrochemical and electrocatalytic activity, the enzymes were immobilized on electrodes modified with a membrane-like synthetic surfactant (didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB)). An adequate choice of the type of modified electrode was confirmed by cyclic voltammetry of cytochromes P450 under anaerobic conditions, demonstrating well-defined peaks of reduction and oxidation of the heme iron. The midpoint potential, Emid, of cytochrome P450 2C9 is −0.318 ± 0.01 V, and Emid = −0.324 ± 0.01 V, and Emid = −0.318 ± 0.03 V for allelic variant 2C9*2 and allelic variant 2C9*3, respectively. In the presence of substrate diclofenac under aerobic conditions, cytochrome P450 2C9 and its polymorphic modifications P450 2C9*2 and P450 2C9*3 exhibit catalytic properties. Stimulation of the metabolism of diclofenac by cytochrome P450 2C9 in the presence of antioxidant medications mexidol and taurine was shown.

Abstract
Carbendazim (CBZ), a broad-spectrum pesticide frequently detected in fruits and vegetables, could trigger potential toxic risks to mammals. To facilitate the assessment of health risks, this study aimed to characterize the cytochrome P450 (CYPs)-mediated metabolism profiles of CBZ by a combined experimental and computational study. Our results demonstrated that CYPs-mediated region-selective hydroxylation was a major metabolism pathway for CBZ in liver microsomes from various species including rat, mouse, minipig, dog, rabbit, guinea pig, monkey, cow and human, and the metabolite was biosynthesized and well-characterized as 6-OH-CBZ. CYP1A displayed a predominant role in the region-selective hydroxylation of CBZ that could attenuate its toxicity through converting it into a less toxic metabolite. Meanwhile, five other common pesticides including chlorpyrifos-methyl, prochloraz, chlorfenapyr, chlorpyrifos, and chlorothalonil could significantly inhibit the region-selective hydroxylation of CBZ, and consequently remarkably increased CBZ exposure in vivo. Furthermore, computational study clarified the important contribution of the key amino acid residues Ser122, and Asp313 in CYP1A1, as well as Asp320 in CYP1A2 to the hydroxylation of CBZ through hydrogen bonds. These results would provide some useful information for the metabolic profiles of CBZ by mammalian CYPs, and shed new insights into CYP1A-mediated metabolic detoxification of CBZ and its health risk assessment.

Abstract
Drug-metabolizing enzymes, particularly the cytochrome P450 (CYP450) monooxygenases, play a pivotal role in pharmacokinetics. CYP450 enzymes can be affected by various xenobiotic substrates, which will eventually be responsible for most metabolism-based herb–herb or herb–drug interactions, usually involving competition with another drug for the same enzyme binding site. Compounds from herbal or natural products are involved in many scenarios in the context of such interactions. These interactions are decisive both in drug discovery regarding the synergistic effects, and drug application regarding unwanted side effects. Herein, this review was conducted as a comprehensive compilation of the effects of herbal ingredients on CYP450 enzymes. Nearly 500 publications reporting botanicals’ effects on CYP450s were collected and analyzed. The countries focusing on this topic were summarized, the identified herbal ingredients affecting enzyme activity of CYP450s, as well as methods identifying the inhibitory/inducing effects were reviewed. Inhibitory effects of botanicals on CYP450 enzymes may contribute to synergistic effects, such as herbal formulae/prescriptions, or lead to therapeutic failure, or even increase concentrations of conventional medicines causing serious adverse events. Conducting this review may help in metabolism-based drug combination discovery, and in the evaluation of the safety profile of natural products used therapeutically.

Abstract
Mechanism-based inactivation (MBI) can mediate adverse reactions and hepatotoxicity from drugs, which is a result of their conversion into highly reactive metabolites catalyzed by enzymes such as cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A). In the present research, we optimized the key interaction domain of the fluorophore with the target protein to develop a two-photon fluorescent probe for CYP3A that is involved in the metabolism of more than half of all clinical drugs. The developed BN-1 probe exhibited appropriate selectivity and sensitivity for the semi-quantitative detection and imaging of endogenous CYP3A activity in various living systems, thereby providing a high-throughput screening system enabling evaluation of MBI-associated hepatotoxicity by CYP3A. Using BN-1 as a fluorescent molecular tool facilitates the efficient discovery and characterization of CYP3A-induced MBI in natural systems.

[PMID: 34861484 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2021.123111] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2021] [Revised: 11/24/2021] [Accepted: 11/26/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Cancer is a complex disease with very high incidence and mortality rates every year. However, cancer drug resistance greatly mitigates the cure rates of tumors, and cytochrome P450 (CYP450) plays an important role in the development of cisplatin resistance. We developed the aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen) TPE-CYP to monitor the changes in CYP450. The TPE-CYP fluorescent probe was successfully used to assess CYP450 levels in tumor cells and tumor tissue sections. This study presented that CYP450 level in HepG2/DDP cells (cisplatin-resistant cells) was higher than that in HepG2 cells, and the inhibition of CYP450 by 1-ABT effectively improved the tumor resistance. Thus, CYP450 plays a key role in the development of tumor resistance. The synergistic effect of 1-ABT and the chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin was superior to that of cisplatin alone in tumor-bearing mice. The TPE-CYP probe will provide an idea for the clinical implementation of individualized tumor treatment strategies, through the accurate monitoring of CYP450.

Abstract
The human cytochrome P450 (CYP) CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 enzymes metabolize more than one-half of marketed drugs. They share high structural and substrate similarity and are often studied together as CYP3A4/5. However, CYP3A5 preferentially metabolizes several clinically prescribed drugs, such as tacrolimus. Genetic polymorphism in CYP3A5 makes race-based dosing adjustment of tacrolimus necessary to minimize acute rejection after organ transplantation. Moreover, the differential tissue distribution and expression levels of CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 can aggravate toxicity during treatment. Therefore, selective inhibitors of CYP3A5 are needed to distinguish the role of CYP3A5 from that of CYP3A4 and serve as starting points for potential therapeutic development. To this end, we report the crystal structure of CYP3A5 in complex with a previously reported selective inhibitor, clobetasol propionate (CBZ). This is the first CYP3A5 structure with a type I inhibitor, which along with the previously reported substrate-free and type II inhibitor-bound structures, constitute the main CYP3A5 structural modalities. Supported by structure-guided mutagenesis analyses, the CYP3A5-CBZ structure showed that a unique conformation of the F-F' loop in CYP3A5 enables selective binding of CBZ to CYP3A5. Several polar interactions, including hydrogen bonds, stabilize the position of CBZ to interact with this unique F-F' loop conformation. In addition, functional and biophysical assays using CBZ analogs highlight the importance of heme-adjacent moieties for selective CYP3A5 inhibition. Our findings can be used to guide further development of more potent and selective CYP3A5 inhibitors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Khat, a natural amphetamine-like psychostimulant plant, are widely consumed globally. Concurrent intake of khat and xenobiotics may lead to herb-drug interactions and adverse drug reactions (ADRs). This study is a continuation of our previous study, targeted to evaluate the in vitro inhibitory effects of khat ethanol extract (KEE) on human cytochrome (CYP) 1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C19, CYP2E1, CYP2J2, and CYP3A5, major human drug metabolizing enzymes. METHODS In vitro fluorescence enzyme assays were employed to assess CYPs inhibition with the presence and absence of various KEE concentrations. RESULTS KEE reversibly inhibited CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C19, CYP2E1, CYP2J2 and CYP3A5 but not CYP1A2 with IC50 values of 25.5, 99, 4.5, 21, 27, 17, and 10 μg/mL respectively. No irreversible inhibition of KEE on all the eight CYPs were identified. The Ki values of CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C19, CYP2E1, CYP2J2 and CYP3A5 were 20.9, 85, 4.8, 18.3, 59.3, 3, and 21.7 μg/mL, respectively. KEE inhibited CYP2B6 via competitive or mixed inhibition; CYP2E1 via un-competitive or mixed inhibition; while CYP2A6, CYP2C8, CYP2C19, CYP2J2 and CYP3A5 via non-competitive or mixed inhibition. CONCLUSIONS Caution should be taken by khat users who are on medications metabolized by CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C19, CYP2E1, CYP2J2, and CYP3A5.

Abstract
A hypoxia-responsive probe based on a flavylium dye containing an azo group (AZO-Flav) was synthesized to detect hypoxic conditions via a reductase-catalyzed reaction in cancer cells. In in vitro enzymatic investigation, the azo group of AZO-Flav was reduced by a reductase in the presence of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) followed by fragmentation to generate a fluorescent molecule, Flav-NH2. The response of AZO-Flav to the reductase was as fast as 2 min with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.4 μM. Moreover, AZO-Flav displayed high enzyme specificity even in the presence of high concentrations of biological interferences, such as reducing agents and biothiols. Therefore, AZO-Flav was tested to detect hypoxic and normoxic environments in cancer cells (HepG2). Compared to the normal condition, the fluorescence intensity in hypoxic conditions increased about 10-fold after 15 min. Prolonged incubation showed a 26-fold higher fluorescent intensity after 60 min. In addition, the fluorescence signal under hypoxia can be suppressed by an electron transport process inhibitor, diphenyliodonium chloride (DPIC), suggesting that reductases take part in the azo group reduction of AZO-Flav in a hypoxic environment. Therefore, this probe showed great potential application toward in vivo hypoxia detection.

Abstract
Human Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes constitute a superfamily of membrane-bound hemoproteins that are responsible for the metabolism of a wide variety of clinically, physiologically, and toxicologically important compounds. These heme-thiolate monooxygenases play a pivotal role in the detoxification of xenobiotics, participating in the metabolism of many structurally diverge compounds. This short-review is intended to provide a summary on the major roles of CYPs in Phase I xenobiotic metabolism. The manuscript is focused on eight main topics that include the most relevant aspects of past and current CYP research. Initially, (I) a general overview of the main aspects of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of xenobiotics are presented. This is followed by (II) a background overview on major achievements in the past of the CYP research field. (III) Classification and nomenclature of CYPs is briefly reviewed, followed by (IV) a summary description on CYP’s location and function in mammals. Subsequently, (V) the physiological relevance of CYP as the cornerstone of Phase I xenobiotic metabolism is highlighted, followed by (VI) reviewing both genetic determinants and (VI) nongenetic factors in CYP function and activity. The last topic of the review (VIII) is focused on the current challenges of the CYP research field.

Abstract
Human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase enzymes (hUGTs), one of the most important classes of conjugative enzymes, are responsible for the glucuronidation and detoxification of a variety of endogenous substances and xenobiotics. Inhibition of hUGTs may cause undesirable effects or adverse drug-drug interactions (DDI) via modulating the glucuronidation rates of endogenous toxins or the drugs that are primarily conjugated by the inhibited hUGTs. Herein, to screen hUGTs inhibitors in a more efficient way, a novel fluorescence-based microplate assay has been developed by utilizing a fluorogenic substrate. Following screening of series of 4-hydroxy-1,8-naphthalimide derivatives, we found that 4-HN-335 is a particularly good substrate for a panel of hUGTs. Under physiological conditions, 4-HN-335 can be readily O-glucuronidated by ten hUGTs, such reactions generate a single O-glucuronide with a high quantum yield (Ф = 0.79) and bring remarkable changes in fluorescence emission. Subsequently, a fluorescence-based microplate assay is developed to simultaneously measure the inhibitory effects of selected compound(s) on ten hUGTs. The newly developed fluorescence-based microplate assay is time- and cost-saving, easy to manage and can be adapted for 96-well microplate format with the Z-factor of 0.92. We further demonstrate the utility of the fluorescence-based assay for high-throughput screening of two compound libraries, resulting in the identification of several potent UGT inhibitors, including natural products and FDA-approved drugs. Collectively, this study reports a novel fluorescence-based microplate assay for simultaneously sensing the residual activities of ten hUGTs, which strongly facilitates the identification and characterization of UGT inhibitors from drugs or herbal constituents and the investigations on UGT-mediated DDI.

Abstract
Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread all over the world and brings significantly negative effects on human health. To fight against COVID-19 in a more efficient way, drug-drug or drug-herb combinations are frequently used in clinical settings. The concomitant use of multiple medications may trigger clinically relevant drug/herb-drug interactions. This study aims to assay the inhibitory potentials of Qingfei Paidu decoction (QPD, a Chinese medicine compound formula recommended for combating COVID-19 in China) against human drug-metabolizing enzymes and to assess the pharmacokinetic interactions in vivo. The results demonstrated that QPD dose-dependently inhibited CYPs1A, 2A6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6 and 2E1 but inhibited CYP3A in a time- and NADPH-dependent manner. In vivo test showed that QPD prolonged the half-life of lopinavir (a CYP3A substrate-drug) by 1.40-fold and increased the AUC of lopinavir by 2.04-fold, when QPD (6 g/kg) was co-administrated with lopinavir (160 mg/kg) to rats. Further investigation revealed that Fructus Aurantii Immaturus (Zhishi) in QPD caused significant loss of CYP3A activity in NADPH-generating system. Collectively, our findings revealed that QPD potently inactivated CYP3A and significantly modulated the pharmacokinetics of CYP3A substrate-drugs, which would be very helpful for the patients and clinicians to avoid potential drug-interaction risks in COVID-19 treatment.

Abstract
Despite its drastic efficacy in resistant psychiatric disorders, clozapine remains rarely used in youth due to its side effects. Clozapine plasma level is determined through its metabolism involving several isoforms of cytochromes 450 (CYP450) family. Isoform CYP1A2 appears as a limiting enzyme involved in the metabolism of clozapine, while isoforms 2C19, 2D6, 3A4, and 3A5 also contribute in a minor way. Clozapine efficacy is limited by a significant inter-patient variability in exposure according to CYP's polymorphisms. Clozapine plasma levels may be increased with CYP inhibitors such as fluvoxamine. This drug is a potent enzymatic inhibitor of CYP1A2 and, to a lesser extent, of CYP3A4 and CYP2D6. Hence, in case of CYP's polymorphisms in youth, the use of fluvoxamine as add-on to clozapine could help in reaching clinical and biological efficacy and allowing lower clozapine dosage and a better tolerance profile as it has already been described in adults. We report four pediatric cases with severe psychiatric disorders underlying our experience with CYP polymorphism explorations and the use of fluvoxamine as add-on to clozapine. Our four patients clinically improved after the introduction of fluvoxamine, enhancing clozapine metabolism and therefore the clozapine plasma level within therapeutic range. Despite the interesting results of fluvoxamine, we report a severe issue of tolerance for one patient, emphasizing the need for caution regarding possible drug interactions when fluvoxamine is considered. Hence, we propose a detailed step-by-step multidisciplinary protocol.
