Abstract
The deuterium labelling of pharmaceuticals is a useful strategy for altering pharmacokinetic properties, particularly for improving metabolic resistance. The pharmacological effects of such metabolites are often assumed to be negligible during standard drug discovery and are factored in later at the clinical phases of development, where the risks and benefits of the treatment and side-effects can be wholly assessed. This paradigm does not translate to the discovery of radiopharmaceuticals, however, as the confounding effects of radiometabolites can inevitably show in preliminary positron emission tomography (PET) scans and thus complicate interpretation. Consequently, the formation of radiometabolites is crucial to take into consideration, compared to non-radioactive metabolites, and the application of deuterium labelling is a particularly attractive approach to minimise radiometabolite formation. Herein, we provide a comprehensive overview of the deuterated carbon-11 and fluorine-18 radiopharmaceuticals employed in PET imaging experiments. Specifically, we explore six categories of deuterated radiopharmaceuticals used to investigate the activities of monoamine oxygenase (MAO), choline, translocator protein (TSPO), vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2), neurotransmission and the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease; from which we derive four prominent deuteration strategies giving rise to a kinetic isotope effect (KIE) for reducing the rate of metabolism. Synthetic approaches for over thirty of these deuterated radiopharmaceuticals are discussed from the perspective of deuterium and radioisotope incorporation, alongside an evaluation of the deuterium labelling and radiolabelling efficacies across these independent studies. Clinical and manufacturing implications are also discussed to provide a more comprehensive overview of how deuterated radiopharmaceuticals may be introduced to routine practice.

Abstract
Two chemotypes were examined in vitro with CYPs 3A4 and 2C19 by molecular docking, metabolic profiles, and intrinsic clearance deuterium isotope effects with specifically deuterated form to assess the potential for enhancement of pharmacokinetic parameters. The results show the complexity of deuteration as an approach for pharmacokinetic enhancement when CYP enzymes are involved in metabolic clearance. With CYP3A4 the rate limiting step was chemotype-dependent. With one chemotype no intrinsic clearance deuterium isotope effect was observed with any deuterated form, whereas with the other chemotype the rate limiting step was isotopically sensitive, and the magnitude of the intrinsic clearance isotope effect was dependent on the position(s) and extent of deuteration. Molecular docking and metabolic profiles aided in identifying sites for deuteration and predicted the possibility for metabolic switching. However, the potential for an isotope effect on the intrinsic clearance cannot be predicted and must be established by examining select deuterated versions of the chemotypes. The results show how in a deuteration strategy molecular docking, in-vitro metabolic profiles, and intrinsic clearance assessments with select deuterated versions of new chemical entities can be applied to determine the potential for pharmacokinetic enhancement in a discovery setting. They also help explain the substantial failures reported in the literature of deuterated versions of drugs to elicit a systemic enhancement on pharmacokinetic parameters.

In Silico Pharmacol 2016; 4:2.

Abstract
PURPOSE The currently held mechanistic understanding of microsomal cytochrome P450s (CYPs) seeks that diverse drug molecules bind within the deep-seated distal heme pocket and subsequently react at the heme centre. To explain a bevy of experimental observations and meta-analyses, we indulge a hypothesis that involves a "diffusible radical mediated" mechanism. This new hypothesis posits that many substrates could also bind at alternate loci on/within the enzyme and be reacted without the pertinent moiety accessing a bonding proximity to the purported catalytic Fe-O enzyme intermediate. METHODS Through blind and heme-distal pocket centered dockings of various substrates and non-substrates (drug molecules of diverse sizes, classes, topographies etc.) of microsomal CYPs, we explored the possibility of access of substrates via the distal channels, its binding energies, docking orientations, distance of reactive moieties (or molecule per se) to/from the heme centre, etc. We investigated specific cases like- (a) large drug molecules as substrates, (b) classical marker drug substrates, (c) class of drugs as substrates (Sartans, Statins etc.), (d) substrate preferences between related and unrelated CYPs, (e) man-made site-directed mutants' and naturally occurring mutants' reactivity and metabolic disposition, (f) drug-drug interactions, (g) overall affinities of drug substrate versus oxidized product, (h) meta-analysis of in silico versus experimental binding constants and reaction/residence times etc. RESULTS It was found that heme-centered dockings of the substrate/modulator drug molecules with the available CYP crystal structures gave poor docking geometries and distances from Fe-heme centre. In conjunction with several other arguments, the findings discount the relevance of erstwhile hypothesis in many CYP systems. Consequently, the newly proposed hypothesis is deemed a viable alternate, as it satisfies Occam's razor. CONCLUSIONS The new proposal affords expanded scope for explaining the mechanism, kinetics and overall phenomenology of CYP mediated drug metabolism. It is now understood that the heme-iron and the hydrophobic distal pocket of CYPs serve primarily to stabilize the reactive intermediate (diffusible radical) and the surface or crypts of the apoprotein bind to the xenobiotic substrate (and in some cases, the heme distal pocket could also serve the latter function). Thus, CYPs enhance reaction rates and selectivity/specificity via a hitherto unrecognized modality.

Abstract
Many cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) exhibit allosteric behavior reflecting a complex ligand-binding process involving numerous factors: conformational selection, protein-protein interactions, substrate/effector/protein structure, and multiple-ligand binding. The interplay of CYP plasticity and rigidity contributes to substrate/product selectivity and to allosterism. Detailed evidence describing how protein motion modulates product selectivity is incomplete as are descriptions of effector-induced modulation of substrate dynamics. Our intent was to discover details of allosteric behavior and CYP3A4 flexibility and rigidity by investigating substrate motion using low-molecular weight ligands. Steady state kinetics and product ratios were measured for oxidation of m-xylene-(2)H3 and p-xylene; intramolecular isotope effects were measured for m-xylene-(2)H3 oxidation as a function of m-xylene-(2)H3 and p-xylene concentration. Biphasic kinetic plots indicated homotropic cooperative behavior with xylene isomers. Selectivity for aromatic hydroxylation over benzylic hydroxylation of m-xylene-(2)H3 supports a model in which the region near the CYP3A4 active oxidizing species limits substrate dynamics. p-Xylene impedes the motion of m-xylene-(2)H3 substrates that have access to the active oxidizing species: (kH/kD)obs values for m-xylene-(2)H3 decreased with p-xylene concentration. m-Xylene-(2)H3 and p-xylene do not have simultaneous access to the active oxidizing species: deuterium-labeled and unlabeled p-xylene exhibited similar effects on the (kH/kD)obs values for m-xylene-(2)H3 oxidation. p-Xylene and m-xylene-(2)H3 bind at different sites: m-xylene-(2)H3 oxidation rates and product selectivity were consistent across the p-xylene concentration range. Overall, this study indicates that the intramolecular isotope effect experimental design provides a unique opportunity to investigate allosteric mechanisms as it provides information about substrate motion when the enzyme is primed to oxidize substrates.

Abstract
A purified and highly active form of the non-heme diiron hydroxylase AlkB was investigated using the diagnostic probe substrate norcarane. The reaction afforded C2 (26%) and C3 (43%) hydroxylation and desaturation products (31%). Initial C-H cleavage at C2 led to 7% C2 hydroxylation and 19% 3-hydroxymethylcyclohexene, a rearrangement product characteristic of a radical rearrangement pathway. A deuterated substrate analogue, 3,3,4,4-norcarane-d(4), afforded drastically reduced amounts of C3 alcohol (8%) and desaturation products (5%), while the radical rearranged alcohol was now the major product (65%). This change in product ratios indicates a large kinetic hydrogen isotope effect of ∼20 for both the C-H hydroxylation at C3 and the desaturation pathway, with all of the desaturation originating via hydrogen abstraction at C3 and not C2. The data indicate that AlkB reacts with norcarane via initial C-H hydrogen abstraction from C2 or C3 and that the three pathways, C3 hydroxylation, C3 desaturation, and C2 hydroxylation/radical rearrangement, are parallel and competitive. Thus, the incipient radical at C3 either reacts with the iron-oxo center to form an alcohol or proceeds along the desaturation pathway via a second H-abstraction to afford both 2-norcarene and 3-norcarene. Subsequent reactions of these norcarenes lead to detectable amounts of hydroxylation products and toluene. By contrast, the 2-norcaranyl radical intermediate leads to C2 hydroxylation and the diagnostic radical rearrangement, but this radical apparently does not afford desaturation products. The results indicate that C-H hydroxylation and desaturation follow analogous stepwise reaction channels via carbon radicals that diverge at the product-forming step.

Abstract
The metabolic stability of a drug is an important property that should be optimized during drug design and development. Nitrogen incorporation is hypothesized to increase the stability by coordination of nitrogen to the heme iron of cytochrome P450, a binding mode that is referred to as type II binding. However, we noticed that the type II binding compound 1 has less metabolic stability at sub-saturating conditions than a closely related type I binding compound 3. Three kinetic models will be presented for type II binder metabolism; (1) Dead-end type II binding, (2) a rapid equilibrium between type I and II binding modes before reduction, and (3) a direct reduction of the type II coordinated heme. Data will be presented on reduction rates of iron, the off rates of substrate (using surface plasmon resonance) and the catalytic rate constants. These data argue against the dead-end, and rapid equilibrium models, leaving the direct reduction kinetic mechanism for metabolism of the type II binding compound 1.

Abstract
Density functional theory has been applied to elucidate the mechanism of the O-demethylation reaction that generates serotonin from 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MT); a process that is efficiently catalyzed by P450 CYP2D6. Two substrates, the neutral 5-MT and the protonated 5-MTH(+), were used to probe the reactivity of CYP2D6 compound I. Notably, the H-abstraction process is found to be slightly more facile for 5-MT. However, our DFT augmented by docking results show that the amino acid Glu216 in the active site holds the NH(3)(+) tail of the 5-MTH(+) substrate in an upright conformation and thereby controls the regioselectivity of the bond activation. Thus, the substrate protonation serves an important function in maximizing the yield of serotonin. This finding is in accord with experimental conclusions that 5-MTH(+) serves as the substrate for the CYP2D6 enzyme. The study further shows that the H-abstraction follows two-state reactivity (TSR), whereas the rebound path may involve more states due to the appearance of both Fe(IV) and Fe(III) electromers during the reaction of 5-MTH(+).

Abstract
Stable isotope-labeled compounds have been synthesized and utilized by scientists from various areas of biomedical research during the last several decades. Compounds labeled with stable isotopes, such as deuterium and carbon-13, have been used effectively by drug metabolism scientists and toxicologists to gain better understanding of drugs' disposition and their potential role in target organ toxicities. The combination of stable isotope-labeling techniques with mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, which allows rapid acquisition and interpretation of data, has promoted greater use of these stable isotope-labeled compounds in absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) studies. Examples of the use of stable isotope-labeled compounds in elucidating structures of metabolites and delineating complex metabolic pathways are presented in this review. The application of labeled compounds in mechanistic toxicity studies will be discussed by providing an example of how strategic placement of a deuterium atom in a drug molecule mitigated specific-specific renal toxicity. Other examples from the literature demonstrating the application of stable isotope-labeled compounds in understanding metabolism-mediated toxicities are presented. Furthermore, an example of how a stable isotope-labeled compound was utilized to better understand some of the gene changes in toxicogenomic studies is discussed. The interpretation of large sets of data produced from toxicogenomics studies can be a challenge. One approach that could be used to simplify interpretation of the data, especially from studies designed to link gene changes with the formation of reactive metabolites thought to be responsible for toxicities, is through the use of stable isotope-labeled compounds. This is a relatively unexplored territory and needs to be further investigated. The employment of analytical techniques, especially mass spectrometry and NMR, used in conjunction with stable isotope-labeled compounds to establish and understand mechanistic link between reactive metabolite formation, genomic, and proteomic changes and onset of toxicity is proposed. The use of stable isotope-labeled compounds in early human ADME studies as a way of identifying and possibly quantifying all drug-related components present in systemic circulation is suggested.

Abstract
The mechanism of N-demethylation of N,N-dimethylanilines (DMAs) by cytochrome P450, a highly debated topic in mechanistic bioinorganic chemistry (Karki, S. B.; Dinnocenczo, J. P.; Jones, J. P.; Korzekwa, K. R. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1995, 117, 3657), is studied here using DFT calculations of the reactions of the active species of the enzyme, Compound I (Cpd I), with four para-(H, Cl, CN, NO2) substituted DMAs. The calculations resolve mechanistic controversies, offer a consistent mechanistic view, and reveal the following features: (a) the reaction pathways involve C-H hydroxylation by Cpd I followed by a nonenzymatic carbinolamine decomposition. (b) C-H hydroxylation is initiated by a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) step that possesses a "polar" character. As such, the HAT energy barriers correlate with the energy level of the HOMO of the DMAs. (c) The series exhibits a switch from spin-selective reactivity for DMA and p-Cl-DMA to two-state reactivity, with low- and high-spin states, for p-CN-DMA and p-NO2-DMA. (d) The computed kinetic isotope effect profiles (KIEPs) for these scenarios match the experimentally determined KIEPs. Theory further shows that the KIEs and TS structures vary in a manner predicted by the Melander-Westheimer postulate: as the substituent becomes more electron withdrawing, the TS is shifted to a later position along the H-transfer coordinate and the corresponding KIEs increases. (e) The generated carbinolaniline can readily dissociate from the heme and decomposes in a nonenzymatic environment, which involves water assisted proton shift.

Abstract
Heavy-atom isotope effects for the N-demethylation of nicotine have been determined in vivo in static-phase biosynthetically incompetent plant cell cultures of Nicotiana species. A (2)H kinetic isotope effect of 0.587 and a (15)N kinetic isotope effect of 1.0028 were obtained. An identical (15)N kinetic isotope effect of 1.0032 was obtained for the nicotine analogue, N-methyl-2-phenylpyrrolidine. The magnitude of the (15)N heavy-atom isotope effect indicates that the fission of the CN bond is not rate limiting for demethylation. The theoretical calculation of heavy-atom isotope effects for a model of the reaction pathway based on cytochrome P450 best fits the measured kinetic isotope effect to the addition of hydroxyl ion to iminium to form N-hydroxymethyl, for which the computed (2)H- and (15)N kinetic isotope effects are 0.689 and 1.0081, respectively. This large inverse (2)H kinetic isotope effect is not compatible with the initial abstraction of the H from the methyl group playing a significant kinetic role in the overall kinetic limitation of the reaction pathway, since computed values for this step (4.54 and 0.9995, respectively) are inconsistent with the experimental data.

Abstract
Many biotransformations of mid- to long chain fatty acyl derivatives are intrinsically interesting because of their high selectivity and novel mechanisms. These include one carbon transfer, hydration, isomerization, hydrogenation, ladderane and hydrocarbon formation, thiolation and various oxidative transformations such as epoxidation, hydroxylation and desaturation. In addition, hydroperoxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids leads to a diverse array of bioactive compounds. The bioorganic aspects of selected reactions will be highlighted in this review; 210 references are cited.

Abstract
Critical elements from studies that have led to our current understanding of the factors that cause the observed primary deuterium isotope effect, (kH/kD)obs, of most enzymatically mediated reactions to be much smaller than the "true" or intrinsic primary deuterium isotope effect, kH/kD, for the reaction are presented. This new understanding has provided a unique and powerful tool for probing the catalytic and active site properties of enzymes, particularly the cytochromes P450 (P450). Examples are presented that illustrate how the technique has been used to determine kH/kD, and properties such as the catalytic nature of the reactive oxenoid intermediate, prochiral selectivity, the chemical and enzymatic mechanisms of cytochrome P450-catalyzed reactions, and the relative active site size of different P450 isoforms. Examples are also presented of how deuterium isotope effects have been used to probe mechanisms of the formation of reactive metabolites that can cause toxic effects.

Abstract
The substrate oxidation rates of P450(BM-3) are unparalleled in the cytochrome P450 (CYP) superfamily of enzymes. Furthermore, the bacterial enzyme, originating from Bacillus megaterium, has been used repeatedly as a model to study the metabolism of mammalian P450s. A specific example is presented where studying P450(BM-3) substrate dynamics can define important enzyme-substrate characteristics, which may be useful in modeling omega-hydroxylation seen in mammalian P450s. In addition, if the reactive species responsible for metabolism can be controlled to produce specific products this enzyme could be a useful biocatalyst. Based on crystal structures and the fact that the P450(BM-3) F87A mutant produces a large isotope in contrast to the native enzyme, we propose that phenylalanine 87 is responsible for hindering substrate access to the active oxygen species for nonnative substrates. Using kinetic isotopes and two aromatic substrates, p-xylene and 4,4'-dimethylbiphenyl, the role phenylalanine 87 plays in active-site dynamics is characterized. The intrinsic KIE is 7.3 +/- 2 for wtP450(BM-3) metabolism of p-xylene. In addition, stoichiometry differences were measured with the native and mutant enzyme and 4,4'-dimethylbiphenyl. The results show a more highly coupled substrate/NADPH ratio in the mutant than in the wtP450(BM-3).

Abstract
Regioselectivity is used to determine the absolute energetic differences for four different reactions catalyzed by P450. Abstraction of a hydrogen from a benzylic carbon containing a chlorine has a 1.0 kcal/mol lower barrier than abstraction from a simple benzylic carbon, which in turn is 0.4 to 0.9 kcal/mol lower than abstraction from the methyl group of an aromatic ether and 0.1 to 0.6 kcal/mol easier than aromatic hydroxylation. Isotope effects are used to determine if the enzyme-substrate complexes leading to each product, from a given substrate, are in rapid equilibrium. For all enzymes isotopically sensitive branching is observed from the benzylic carbon upon deuterium incorporation at that position to each of the other positions, indicating that each product arises from the same active oxygen species. The energetic differences determined experimentally are accurately reproduced by theoretical hydrogen atom abstractions at both the AM1 semiempirical and DFT levels of theory.

Abstract
Efavirenz, a potent nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor widely prescribed for the treatment of HIV infection, produces renal tubular epithelial cell necrosis in rats but not in cynomolgus monkeys or humans. This species selectivity in nephrotoxicity could result from differences in the production or processing of reactive metabolites, or both. A detailed comparison of the metabolites produced by rats, monkeys, and humans revealed that rats produce a unique glutathione adduct. The mechanism of formation and role of this glutathione adduct in the renal toxicity were investigated using both chemical and biochemical probes. Efavirenz was labeled at the methine position on the cyclopropyl ring with the stable isotope deuterium, effectively reducing the formation of the cyclopropanol metabolite, an obligate precursor to the glutathione adduct. This substitution markedly reduced both the incidence and severity of nephrotoxicity as measured histologically. Further processing of this glutathione adduct was also important in producing the lesion and was demonstrated by inhibiting gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase with acivicin pretreatment (10 mg/kg, IV) prior to dosing with efavirenz. Again, both the incidence and severity of the nephrotoxicity were reduced, such that four of nine rats given acivicin were without detectable lesions. These studies provide compelling evidence that a species-specific formation of glutathione conjugate(s) from efavirenz is involved in producing nephrotoxicity in rats. Mechanisms are proposed for the formation of reactive metabolites that could be responsible for the renal toxicity observed in rats.

Abstract
Isotope effect experiments provide a powerful tool for study of the fundamental aspects of the enzymology of the cytochrome P450 enzymes. Competition between alternate pathways not only allows P450 isotope effects to be observed, but also provides mechanistic information on both oxygen activation and substrate oxidation. Indeed, the kind of knowledge that isotope effect studies can provide is not readily obtainable by other methodologies.

Abstract
Thymine hydroxylase from Rhodotorula glutinis catalyzes the oxidation of thymine to its alcohol, aldehyde, and carboxylic acid in three successive reactions. Each step involves stoichiometric consumption of O2 and alpha-ketoglutarate and formation of CO2 and succinate. Given the promiscuity of this enzyme, it was hoped that it would serve as a prototype for understanding the mechanism of this class of enzymes, the non-heme Fe2+ dioxygenases. Kinetic parameters for thymine, O2, Fe2+, and alpha-ketoglutarate have been determined, and isotope effect analysis of (trideuteriomethyl)thymine with enzyme reveals D(V) = 2.08 and D(V/K) = 1.11 at saturating O2. The kinetic parameters for (hydroxymethyl)uracil oxidation have been determined, and incubation of (5'-R)- and (5'-S)-[5'-2H]-5-(hydroxymethyl)uracil with enzyme reveals stereospecific removal of the pro-S hydrogen. No apparent isotope effect is observed in this reaction. The substrate specificity of this enzyme has been examined in detail. The enzyme can catalyze epoxidation, oxidation of a thioether to a sulfoxide and a sulfone, hydroxylation of an unactivated carbon-hydrogen bond, and oxidation of a methylamine to formaldehyde, as revealed through studies with 5-vinyluracil, 5-(methylthio)uracil, 5,6-dihydrothymine, and 1-methylthymine, respectively. In each case, the products were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and 18O2-labeling studies revealed that one atom from O2 is incorporated into each product. The enzyme has also been shown to catalyze an uncoupling of hydroxylation and decarboxylation in the presence of a substrate analog incapable of undergoing hydroxylation or a substrate that is difficult to oxidize.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
A liquid chromatography/thermospray mass spectrometry method has been developed and used to measure the plasma levels and half-life of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 in adults. The mean plasma levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 averaged 40 ng ml-1 (n = 4) in summer and 30 ng ml-1 (n = 6) in winter. The method was also used to determine the half-life of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 in subjects maintained on either high or low-fiber diets who had been given an intravenous infusion of (6,19,19-2H3)25-hydroxyvitamin D3 sufficient to label 5% of their estimated body pools. The half-life was determined to be 10.4 days (n = 4), which is approximately 50% of the currently accepted value of 19 days, determined using radiolabeled methods. This difference may be due to kinetic isotope effects arising as a result of the tritiated compounds being labeled at sites that undergo Cyt-P450-catalyzed oxidations.

Abstract
The equivalence of aminomethylene groups in selected diamine substrates of diamine oxidase was exploited for the determination of intramolecular isotope effects. In the series of substrates, [1,1-2H2]-1,3-diaminopropane, [1,1-2H2]-1,5-diaminopentane, [1,1-2H2]-1,6-diaminohexane, [1,1-2H2]-1,7-diaminoheptane and [alpha,alpha-2H2]-4-(aminomethyl)benzylamine, the preference of the enzyme for reaction at the unlabeled methylene was found to vary from 1.45 to 10.5-fold. The observed partitioning ratios go through a minimum value with 1,5-diaminopentane, the best substrate of diamine oxidase of the compounds tested. The results suggest that fast substrates have less opportunity to reorient into alternate binding conformations while bound to the active site of the enzyme. On the other hand, diamine substrates tested that cannot exist in energetically favorable conformations with internitrogen distances of about 7-8 A showed larger intramolecular isotope effects.

Abstract
The metabolism of N,N-dimethylbenzamides by phenobarbital-induced rat liver microsomes results in the formation of N-methylbenzamides and formaldehyde. The reaction proceeds via the formation of an intermediate N-hydroxymethyl-N-methylbenzamide, which, for the microsomal oxidation of N,N-dimethylbenzamide, was isolated and characterized. Confirmation of the N-hydroxymethyl-N-methylbenzamide was obtained by its independent synthesis from N-methylbenzamide and formaldehyde. The intermolecular kinetic deuterium isotope effects for the reaction are 0.9 (+/- 0.1) for Vmax and 1.4 (+/- 0.1) for Vmax/Km. The intramolecular kinetic deuterium isotope effect, determined from the relative amounts of N-methylbenzamide and N-trideuteriomethylbenzamide formed in the microsomal demethylation of N-trideuteriomethyl-N-methylbenzamide, is 6.0 +/- 0.3. There is no correlation of Vmax or Vmax/Km with the substituent in the aromatic ring, nor with the calculated ionization potentials of the benzamides. The results are interpreted in terms of a mechanism in which the benzamide undergoes direct hydrogen atom abstraction to form a carbon centred radical. This carbon centred radical subsequently forms an N-hydroxymethyl-N-methylbenzamide that decomposes to formaldehyde and an N-methylbenzamide. Semi-empirical AM1 self consistent field molecular orbital calculations identify that loss of a hydrogen atom from the E-methyl group is thermodynamically more favourable than from the Z-methyl group by ca. 5 kJ/mol.

Abstract
The metabolism of 1-aryl-3,3-dimethyltriazenes by phenobarbital-induced rat liver microsomes results in the formation of 1-aryl-3-methyltriazenes and formaldehyde. Intermolecular kinetic deuterium isotope effects for the reaction are found to be 1.0 (+/- 0.03) in both Vmax and Vmax/Km, respectively. The intramolecular kinetic deuterium isotope effects in Vmax and Vmax/Km are found to be 4.8 (+/- 0.05). There is no correlation of Vmax or Vmax/Km with calculated ionization potentials of the triazenes. For 3-ethyl-3-methyltriazene comparison of values of Vmax and Vmax/Km for ethyl vs methyl loss give rise to values of 3.68 in Vmax and 2.02 in Vmax/Km. Thus, loss of an ethyl group is favoured. The results are discussed in terms of a mechanism in which the triazene undergoes direct hydrogen atom abstraction to form a carbon centred radical. This radical subsequently forms a hydroxymethyltriazene that collapses to formaldehyde and a monomethyltriazene.

Abstract
The apparent kinetic deuterium isotope effect (I) on the oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde by washed rat liver microsomes was measured with (1-R)-[1-2H2, 1-14C]-ethanol (I1) and [1-2H2, 2-14C]-ethanol (I2) as substrates by a competitive technique involving only measurements of radioactivity. The average values were for non-induced rats, I1 = 1.57 and I2 = 2.23. When these two substrates were used with stereospecific enzymes (alcohol dehydrogenase and catalase) a small secondary effect was observed, causing I2 to be about 10% higher than I1. With non-stereospecific systems I2 was much larger than I1, and the values were connected by a simple formula. This relation in combination with use of the inhibitors, sodium azide and thiourea, made it possible to calculate tentatively the contribution to microsomal ethanol oxidation of catalase, a non-identified stereospecific enzyme, and non-stereospecific catalytic systems, as well as the isotope effects of the latter two systems. Measurements were made in microsomes from normal, phenobarbital treated, and acetone treated rats. For the stereospecific component an isotope effect of 1.4-1.5 was calculated for all three groups. For the non-stereospecific enzyme in acetone treated rats a value of 4.0 was found. Both the other groups showed a value about 2.7. The activity of the non-stereospecific system was about twice the normal in barbiturate treated, and 3 times the normal in the acetone treated group, where it contributed 70% of the total activity. The isotope effects on the changes in ethanol oxidation (the 'differential isotope effect') caused by inhibitors and activators were utilized to decide whether inhibitors were specific for a single reaction. Thus azide while inhibiting catalase completely, also inhibited other reactions. The large increase (5-6 times) in rate caused by Fe-ESDTA has an I2 of 1.6, equal to that for oxidation of ethanol by hydroxyl radicals.

Abstract
Deuterium isotope effects on the kinetic parameters for deamination and N-hydroxylation of cyclohexylamine (CHA) catalyzed by rabbit liver microsomes with NADPH are investigated. Both reactions are inhibited by carbon monoxide and have the characteristics of typical cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenase reactions. A small and significant deuterium isotope effect operates in the oxidative deamination of CHA. The apparent isotope effects, i.e., VH/VD and (V/K)H/(V/K)D ratios for deamination, are 1.75 and 1.8-2.3, respectively. On the basis of N-hydroxylation, the VH/VD and (V/K)H/(V/K)D ratios are 0.8-0.9. The N-hydroxylation rate of alpha-deuterated CHA (D-CHA) is somewhat higher than that of CHA. The increased increment of hydroxylamine formation seems to coincide with the decreased amount of deamination. Substitution of deuterium in the alpha-position of CHA results in metabolic switching of cytochrome P450 from deamination to N-hydroxylation with low deuterium isotope effects. The data are interpreted in terms of an initial one-electron abstraction from the nitrogen to form an aminium cation radical followed by recombination with iron-bound hydroxyl radical leading to N-hydroxylamine, or followed by alpha-carbon deprotonation to form a neutral carbon radical. The latter can lead to a carbinolamine intermediate for deamination by way of imine or recombination with nascent iron-bound hydroxyl radical. The relative rates of the reactions depend on the alpha-carbon deprotonation rates of amines.

Abstract
Cell line cultures from postnatal and adult rats were incubated with 5-100 mumol/l [9-14C]-2-acetylaminofluorene. On incubation of 10 mumol/l, ring-hydroxylated metabolites, expressed as nmol hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene (OH-2-AAF)/mg cell protein/24 h, were 9-OH- 1.28 +/- 0.37, 7-OH- 1.08 +/- 0.28 and 5-OH- 0.30 +/- 0.08, and deacetylated 2-AAF (2-AF) 1.20 +/- 0.18. For 5, 10, 50 and 100 mumol/l 2-AAF, the total production of OH-2-AAF (same units) and 2-AF (%) were, respectively, 0.86 (0%), 3.86 (35%), 17.8 (60%) and 35.03 (89%). On preincubation with phenobarbital (BP) or 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) and then incubation of 10 mumol/l 2-AAF, the total synthesis of OH-2-AAF increased 1.9-fold (PB) and 2.5-fold (3-MC). In addition, four other OH-2-AAF (1-OH-, 3-OH- and two unknown OH-2-AAF) were produced and glucuronidation of all metabolites was induced and amounted to 57% of the total after PB and 75% after 3-MC preincubation. Metyrapone or alpha-naphthoflavone inhibition of BP or 3-MC, respectively, markedly affected the production of free and conjugated metabolites and, almost completely, the deacetylation of 2-AAF.

Abstract
The oxidation of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane to dichloroacetic acid was investigated with rat liver microsomes and purified cytochrome P-450. Deuterium substitution had no effect on Km values, but both the inter- and intramolecular isotope effects (kH/kD) on Vmax were in the range 5.7-6.1. The equivalence of the inter- and intramolecular values indicates that 6.0 may be a good estimate of the intrinsic isotope effect. The intermolecular kH/kD value for the conversion of 1,1,2,2-trichloroethane and its 1-2H analog to chloroacetic acid was 5.5. These data, and the finding that 1 atom of 18O was incorporated into the product when TCEA was oxidized in an 18O2 atmosphere, support an oxidative dechlorination mechanism that involves hydrogen atom abstraction by the P-450 intermediate oxo complex.

Abstract
Intramolecular deuterium kinetic isotope effects on the O-demethylation of methoxychlor [2,2-bis-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,1,1-trichloroethane] were measured in liver microsomes taken from rats treated with phenobarbital or beta-naphthoflavone and from untreated rats. The substrates were (R)-, (S)- and racemic [monomethyl-d3]methoxychlor, and the ratio of [d3]- to [d0]-mono-O-demethylated metabolites was measured by GC-MS selected-ion monitoring. The magnitude of the observed ratio of [d3]- to [d0]-metabolites in each microsomal preparation was largest on the reaction of the (S)-substrate, followed by racemic substrate, and then (R). Each value is a composite of the intramolecular kinetic isotope effect and enantiotopic differentiation during the reaction. Each intramolecular isotope effect value estimated from these values was smaller than the reported intrinsic value. A relatively slow intramolecular interchange of two methoxyl groups in the methoxychlor molecule in the enzyme-substrate complex was indicated during the reaction. There also was evidence of high enantiotopic differentiation.

Abstract
For a set of 10 para-substituted toluene derivatives, three enzymatic constants were determined describing their interaction with purified rabbit liver microsomal P-450LM2. The three constants were the catalytic rate constant (Kcat) for hydroxylation, the apparent dissociation constant (Kd) for the enzyme-substrate complex, and the interaction energy (delta Gint) between the substrate-binding and spin-state equilibria. The para-substituents of the toluene substrates were: hydrogen, fluoro, bromo, chloro, iodo, nitro, methyl, cyano, isopropyl, and t-butyl. Linear free energy correlations were sought between the enzymatic constants and several physical constants of the individual substrate molecules. These correlations would be useful both for empirical prediction purposes and for insight into active site chemistry and mechanics. Catalytic rates were correlated by a linear combination of the Hansch pi hydrophobic constant and the Hammett sigma value. A deuterium isotope effect (DV) of 2.6 for d8-toluene compared to d0-toluene confirmed that hydrogen abstraction was partially rate-limiting with this series of substrates. Apparent dissociation constants were predicted by a linear combination of the molar volume and pi, while the spin-state interaction energies were best predicted by a linear combination of the Hansch pi hydrophobic constant and the reciprocal of the dielectric constant.
