[PMID: 38123944 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.123.001583] [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: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 12/08/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Cynomolgus and rhesus macaques are used in drug metabolism studies due to their evolutionary and phylogenetic closeness to humans. Cytochromes P450 (P450s or CYPs), including the CYP2C family enzyme, are important endogenous and exogenous substrate-metabolizing enzymes and play major roles in drug metabolism. In cynomolgus and rhesus macaques, six CYP2Cs have been identified and characterized, namely, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C18, CYP2C19, CYP2C76, and CYP2C93. In this study, CYP2C119, a new CYP2C, was identified and characterized in cynomolgus and rhesus macaques. Cynomolgus and rhesus CYP2C119 contained open reading frames of 489 amino acids with high sequence identities to human CYP2C8 and to cynomolgus and rhesus CYP2C8. Phylogenetic analysis showed that cynomolgus and rhesus CYP2C119 were closely related to cynomolgus and rhesus CYP2C8. In cynomolgus and rhesus genomes, CYP2C genes, including CYP2C119, form a cluster. Among the tissues analyzed, cynomolgus CYP2C119 mRNA was predominantly expressed in liver. Hepatic expressions of CYP2C119 mRNA in four cynomolgus and two rhesus macaques varied, with no expression in one rhesus macaque. Among the CYP2C mRNAs, CYP2C119 mRNA was expressed less abundantly than CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP2C76 mRNAs but more abundantly than CYP2C18 mRNA. Recombinant cynomolgus and rhesus CYP2C119 catalyzed progesterone 16α-, 17α-, and 21-hydroxylation and diclofenac and omeprazole oxidations, indicating that CYP2C119 is a functional enzyme. Therefore, the novel CYP2C119 gene, expressed in macaque liver, encodes a functional enzyme that metabolizes human CYP2C substrates and is likely responsible for drug clearances. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Cytochrome P450 2C119 was found in cynomolgus and rhesus macaques, in addition to the known P450 2C8, 2C9, 2C18, 2C19, 2C76, and 2C93. Cynomolgus and rhesus CYP2C119 contain open reading frames of 489 amino acids with high sequence identity to human CYP2C8. Cynomolgus CYP2C119 mRNA is predominantly expressed in the liver. Recombinant CYP2C119 catalyzed progesterone hydroxylation and diclofenac and omeprazole oxidations. Therefore, the novel CYP2C119 gene expressed in the macaque liver encodes a functional enzyme that metabolizes human CYP2C substrates.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the potential pharmacokinetic interactions between curcumin, imatinib and bosutinib, combining In Vitro and in silico methods. METHODS In Vitro metabolism of imatinib and bosutinib were investigated in pooled human liver microsomes and recombinant CYP3A4 enzyme in the presence and absence of curcumin and curcumin glucuronide using an LC-MS/MS assay for N-desmethyl metabolites. A physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for curcumin formulated as solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) was constructed using In Vitro glucuronidation kinetics and published clinical pharmacokinetic data. The potential effects of curcumin coadministration on systemic exposures of imatinib and bosutinib were predicted in silico using PBPK simulations. RESULTS Curcumin demonstrated potent reversible inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A4-mediated N-demethylation of imatinib and bosutinib and CYP2C8-mediated metabolism of imatinib with inhibitory constants (ki,u) of ≤1.5 μmol. L-1. A confirmatory In Vitro study with paclitaxel, the 6α-hydroxylation of which is exclusively mediated by CYP2C8, was consistent with a potent inhibition of this enzyme by curcumin. Curcumin glucuronide also inhibited both CYP enzymes In Vitro, albeit to a lesser extent than that of curcumin. PBPK model simulations predicted that at recommended dosing regimens of SLN curcumin, coadministration would result in an increase in systemic exposures of imatinib and bosutinib of up to only 10%. CONCLUSION A PBPK model for curcumin in a SLN formulation was successfully developed. Although curcumin possesses a strong In Vitro inhibitory activity towards CYP3A4 and CYP2C8 enzymes, its interactions with imatinib and bosutinib were unlikely to be of clinical importance due to curcumin's poor bioavailability.

Abstract
AZD9496 ((E)-3-(3,5-difluoro-4-((1R,3R)-2-(2-fluoro-2-methylpropyl)-3-methyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-1-yl)phenyl)acrylic acid) is an oral selective estrogen receptor degrader currently in clinical development for treatment of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. In a first-in-human phase 1 study, AZD9496 exhibited dose nonlinear pharmacokinetics, the mechanistic basis of which was investigated in this study. The metabolism kinetics of AZD9496 were studied using human liver microsomes (HLMs), recombinant cytochrome P450s (rP450s), and hepatocytes. In addition, modeling approaches were used to gain further mechanistic insights. CYP2C8 was predominantly responsible for biotransformation of AZD9496 to its two main metabolites whose rate of formation with increasing AZD9496 concentrations exhibited complete substrate inhibition in HLM, rCYP2C8, and hepatocytes. Total inhibition by AZD9496 of amodiaquine N-deethylation, a specific probe of CYP2C8 activity, confirmed the completeness of this inhibition. The commonly used substrate inhibition model analogous to uncompetitive inhibition fit poorly to the data. However, using the same model but without constraints on the number of molecules occupying the inhibitory binding site (i.e., nS1ES) provided a significantly better fit (F test, P< 0.005). With the improved model, up to three AZD9496 molecules were predicted to bind the inhibitory site of CYP2C8. In contrast to previous studies showing substrate inhibition of P450s to be partial, our results demonstrate complete substrate inhibition of CYP2C8 via binding of more than one molecule of AZD9496 to the inhibitory site. As CYP2C8 appears to be the sole isoform catalyzing formation of the main metabolites, the substrate inhibition might explain the observed dose nonlinearity in the clinic at higher doses.

Abstract
The CYP26s are responsible for metabolizing retinoic acid and play an important role in maintaining homeostatic levels of retinoic acid. Given the ability of CYP2C8 to metabolize retinoic acid, we evaluated the potential for CYP2C8 inhibitors to also inhibit CYP26. In vitro assays were used to evaluate the inhibition potencies of CYP2C8 inhibitors against CYP26A1 and CYP26B1. Using tazarotenic acid as a substrate for CYP26, IC50 values for 17 inhibitors of CYP2C8 were determined for CYP26A1 and CYP26B1, ranging from ∼20 nM to 100 μM, with a positive correlation observed between IC50s for CYP2C8 and CYP26A1. An evaluation of IC50's versus in vivo Cmax values suggests that inhibitors such as clotrimazole or fluconazole may interact with CYP26 at clinically relevant concentrations and may alter levels of retinoic acid. These findings provide insight into drug interactions resulting in elevated retinoic acid concentrations and expand upon the pharmacophore of CYP26 inhibition.

Abstract
The large and diverse family of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYPs) was systematically analyzed to identify selectivity- and specificity-determining residues in the substrate recognition site 5, which is located in close vicinity to the heme center. A positively charged heme-interacting residue was identified in the structures of 29 monooxygenases and in 97.7% of the 6379 CYP sequences investigated here. This heme-interacting residue restricts the conformation of the substrate recognition site 5 and is preferentially located at position 10 or 11 after the conserved ExxR motif (in 94.4% of the sequences), in 3.3% of the sequences at position 9 or 12. As a result, a classification by the position of the heme-interacting residue allows to predict residues that are closest to the heme center and restrict its accessibility. In 98.4% of all CYP sequences a preferentially hydrophobic residue is located at position 5 after the ExxR motif that is predicted to point close to the heme center. Replacing this residue by hydrophobic residues of different size has been shown to change substrate specificity and regioselectivity for CYPs of different superfamilies. Twenty-seven percent of all CYPs are predicted to contain a second selectivity-determining residue at position 9 after the ExxR motif that can be identified by the pattern EXXR-X(7)-{P}-x-P-[HKR].

Abstract
The concept of conservation of amino acids is widely used to identify important alignment positions of orthologs. The assumption is that important amino acid residues will be conserved in the protein family during the evolutionary process. For paralog alignment, on the other hand, the opposite concept can be used to identify residues that are responsible for specificity. Assuming that the function-specific or ligand-specific residue positions will have higher diversity since they are under evolutionary pressure to fit the target specificity, these function-specific or ligand-specific residues positions will have a lower degree of conservation than other positions in a highly conserved paralog alignment. This study assessed the ability of reverse conservation analysis to identify function-specific and ligand-specific residue positions in closely related paralog. Reverse conservation analysis of paralog alignments successfully identified all six previously reported substrate recognition sites (SRSs) in cytochrome P450 family 2 (CYP 2). Further analysis of each subfamily identified the specificity-determining residues (SDRs) that have been experimentally found. New potential SDRs were also predicted and await confirmation by further experiments or modeling calculations. This concept may be also applied to identify SDRs in other protein families.

Abstract
AIMS To identify the human cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes responsible for the formation of the 6beta-hydroxy (6beta-OHGz), 7beta-hydroxy (7beta-OHGz) and hydroxymethyl (MeOH-Gz) metabolites of gliclizide (Gz). METHODS 6beta-OHGz, 7beta-OHGz and MeOH-Gz formation by human liver microsomes and a panel of recombinant human P450s was measured using a high-performance liquid chromatography procedure, and the kinetics of metabolite formation was determined for each pathway. Effects of prototypic CYP enzyme selective inhibitors were characterized for each of the microsomal metabolic pathways. RESULTS Microsomes from six human livers converted Gz to its 6beta-OHGz, 7beta-OHGz, and MeOH-Gz metabolites, with respective mean (+/- SD) K(m) values of 461 +/- 139, 404 +/- 143 and 334 +/- 75 microm and mean V(max) values of 130 +/- 55, 82 +/- 31 and 268 +/- 115 pmol min(-1) mg(-1), respectively. V(max)/K(m) ratios for the microsomal reactions parallelled relative metabolite formation in vivo. Sulfaphenazole inhibited microsomal 6beta-OHGz, 7beta-OHGz and MeOH-Gz formation by 87, 83 and 64%, respectively, whereas S-mephenytoin caused significant inhibition (48%) of only MeOH-Gz formation. Recombinant CYP2C9, CYP2C18 and CYP2C19 catalysed all hydroxylation pathways, whereas CYP2C8 formed only 6beta-OHGz and 7beta-OHGz. CONCLUSION Taken together, the results indicate that CYP2C9 is the major contributor to Gz metabolic clearance, although CYP2C19 may also be involved in MeOH-Gz formation (the major metabolic pathway). Factors known to influence CYP2C9 activity will provide the main source of variability in Gz pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
Despite its biological importance, our knowledge of active site structure and relevance of critical amino acids in CYP2E1 catalytic processes remain limited. In this study, we identified CYP2E1 active site residues using photoaffinity labeling with 7-azido-4-methylcoumarin (AzMC) coupled with a CYP2E1 homology model. In the absence of light, AzMC was an effective competitor against substrate p-nitrophenol oxidation by CYP2E1. Photoactivation of AzMC led to a concentration-dependent loss in CYP2E1 activity and structural integrity resulting from the modification of both heme and protein. The photo-labeling reaction degraded heme and produced a possible heme adduct. Probe incorporation into the protein occurred at multiple sites within substrate recognition sequence 5 (SRS-5). Based on a CYP2E1 homology model, we hypothesize AzMC labels SRS-5 residues, Leu363, Val364, and Leu368, in the active site. In addition, we propose a series of phenylalanines, especially Phe106, mediate contacts with the coumarin.

Abstract
In 97 unselected volunteers and two additional homozygous carriers of CYP2C9(*)3, we investigated the oral clearance of torsemide in relation to 37 polymorphisms at the CYP2C gene locus. Torsemide total oral clearance was linearly associated with the number of CYP2C9(*)3 alleles (geometric mean: 59, 40 and 20 ml/min in carriers of no, one and two alleles) and so were the methyl- and ring-hydroxylation but not the carboxylation clearance. Haplotypes including the CYP2C9(*)3 allele were similarly associated with the clearances but no other variant and no haplotype not including the CYP2C9(*)3 variant. The extended haplotype length (EHL) of the CYP2C9 haplotypes was positively associated with higher activity of the gene product. Torsemide total oral clearance was predictable with r(2)=82.1% using plasma concentrations at 0.5, 1, 2 and 24 h. In conclusion, torsemide's biotransformation strongly depended on the CYP2C9(*)3 variant but no other. Higher clearance CYP2C9 haplotypes appear to be evolutionarily selected.

Abstract
Luminogenic cytochrome P450 (CYP) assays couple CYP enzyme activity to firefly luciferase luminescence in a technology called P450-Glo(TM) (Promega). Luminogenic substrates are used in assays of human CYP1A1, -1A2, -1B1, -2C8, -2C9, -2C19, -2D6, -2J2, -3A4, -3A7, -4A11, -4F3B, -4F12 and -19. The assays detect dose-dependent CYP inhibition by test compounds against recombinant CYP enzymes or liver microsomes. Induction or inhibition of CYP activities in cultured hepatocytes is measured in a nonlytic approach that leaves cells intact for additional analysis. Luminogenic CYP assays offer advantages of speed and safety over HPLC and radiochemical-based methods. Compared with fluorogenic methods the approach offers advantages of improved sensitivity and decreased interference between optical properties of test compound and CYP substrate. These homogenous assays are sensitive and robust tools for high-throughput CYP screening in early drug discovery.

Abstract
AIMS To determine the effect of CYP2C8 genotype and of fluvoxamine on the pharmacokinetics of rosiglitazone. METHODS Twenty-three healthy subjects with the following genotypes were included in a two-phase, open-label, cross-over trial: CYP2C8*3/ *3 (n = 3), CYP2C8*1/ *3 (n = 10) and CYP2C8*1/ *1 (n = 10). In Phase A, the subjects were given 4 mg rosiglitazone as a single oral dose. In Phase B, the subjects were treated with multiple oral doses of 50 mg fluvoxamine maleate for 3 days prior to the single oral administration of 4 mg rosiglitazone. Plasma concentrations of rosiglitazone and relative amounts of N-desmethylrosiglitazone were measured in both phases for 24 h after drug administration. RESULTS The pharmacokinetics of rosiglitazone and N-desmethylrosiglitazone were not significantly different between the CYP2C8 genotypic groups. Fluvoxamine caused a statistically significant (P = 0.0066) increase in the AUC(0-infinity) of rosiglitazone, with a geometric mean ratio of 1.21 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.06-1.39]. The elimination half-life (t(1/2)) was also significantly higher (P = 0.0203) with a geometric mean ratio of 1.38 [95% CI 1.06-1.79]. The coadministration of fluvoxamine had no influence on the pharmacokinetics of N-desmethylrosiglitazone. CONCLUSION The importance of the CYP2C8*3 mutation in the in vivo metabolism of rosiglitazone could not be confirmed. Fluvoxamine increased the AUC(0-infinity) and t(1/2) of rosiglitazone moderately and hence may be a weak inhibitor of CYP2C8.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the in vivo metabolic profile of paclitaxel and to examine the effect of potential co-administered drugs on the biliary secretion of paclitaxel and its metabolites in guinea-pigs. We first investigated in vitro paclitaxel metabolism using liver microsomes obtained from various species to identify the most suitable animal model with a similar metabolism to humans. Then, in vivo paclitaxel metabolism was investigated in male guinea-pigs. The levels of paclitaxel and its metabolites were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography in bile samples from guinea-pigs after paclitaxel i.v. injection (6 mg/kg). We further evaluated the effects of various drugs (quercetin, ketoconazole, dexamethasone, cotrimoxazole) on the biliary secretion of paclitaxel and its metabolites in guinea-pigs. This work demonstrated significant in vitro interspecies differences in paclitaxel metabolism. Our findings showed both in vitro and in vivo similarities between human and guinea-pig biotransformation of paclitaxel. 6alpha-Hydroxypaclitaxel, the main human metabolite of paclitaxel, was found in guinea-pig bile. After paclitaxel combination with ketoconazole or quercetin in guinea-pigs, the cumulative biliary excretion of paclitaxel and its metabolites up to 6 h was significantly decreased by 62 and 76%, respectively. The co-administration of cotrimoxazole or pretreatment with dexamethasone did not alter significantly cumulative biliary excretion. The guinea-pig is a suitable model to study metabolism and biliary excretion of paclitaxel, and to investigate in vivo drug interactions.

Abstract
The female flowers of hops (Humulus lupulus L.) are used in the brewing of beer and are under investigation for use in dietary supplements for the management of menopausal symptoms in women. Hop extracts contain the weakly estrogenic compound isoxanthohumol (IX), proestrogenic xanthohumol, and the potent estrogen 8-prenylnaringenin (8PN). Because IX can be metabolized in the human liver to form 8PN, the specific cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes responsible for this O-demethylation reaction were identified. In addition, the enzymes that convert IX and 8PN to their most abundant metabolites were identified because these metabolic pathways might also affect the estrogenicity of hop preparations. Specifically, the P450 enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of the prenyl side chains of IX and 8PN into trans- or cis-alcohols were investigated. Human liver microsomes and monoclonal antibodies that inhibit specific P450 enzymes were used in combination with liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry to identify the enzymes responsible for these transformations. CYP2C19 was found to catalyze the formation of both cis- and trans-alcohols of the prenyl side chain of 8PN with K(m) values of 14.8 +/- 3.2 and 16.6 +/- 4.6 microM, respectively. CYP2C8 converted 8PN regioselectively to the trans-alcohol of the prenyl group with a K(m) of 3.7 +/- 0.9 microM. Finally, CYP1A2 was found to catalyze the O-demethylation of IX to generate 8PN, with a K(m) value of 17.8 +/- 3.7 microM. These results suggest that the estrogenicity of hop constituents in vivo will depend in part on metabolic conversion that may show individual variation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To retrospectively evaluate the effects of six known allelic variants in the CYP2C8, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and ABCB1 genes on the pharmacokinetics of the anticancer agent paclitaxel (Taxol). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN A cohort of 97 Caucasian patients with cancer (median age, 57 years) received paclitaxel as an i.v. infusion (dose range, 80-225 mg/m(2)). Genomic DNA was analyzed using PCR RFLP or using Pyrosequencing. Pharmacokinetic variables for unbound paclitaxel were estimated using nonlinear mixed effect modeling. The effects of genotypes on typical value of clearance were evaluated with the likelihood ratio test within NONMEM. In addition, relations between genotype and individual pharmacokinetic variable estimates were evaluated with one-way ANOVA. RESULTS The allele frequencies for the CYP2C8*2, CYP2C8*3, CYP2C8*4, CYP3A4*3, CYP3A5*3C, and ABCB1 3435C>T variants were 0.7%, 9.2%, 2.1%, 0.5%, 93.2%, and 47.1%, respectively, and all were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The population typical value of clearance of unbound paclitaxel was 301 L/h (individual clearance range, 83.7-1055 L/h). The CYP2C8 or CYP3A4/5 genotypes were not statistically significantly associated with unbound clearance of paclitaxel. Likewise, no statistically significant association was observed between the ABCB1 3435C>T variant and any of the studied pharmacokinetic variables. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates that the presently evaluated variant alleles in the CYP2C8, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and ABCB1 genes do not explain the substantial interindividual variability in paclitaxel pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 2C8 is one of the primary enzymes responsible for the metabolism of a wide range of drugs such as paclitaxel, cerivastatin, and amiodarone. We have sequenced the CYP2C8 gene from 201 Japanese subjects and found five novel nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): 511G>A (G171S), 556C>T (R186X; X represents the translational stop codon), 556C>G (R186G), 740A>G (K247R), and 1149G>T (K383N), with the allele frequency of 0.0025. The CYP2C8 variants were heterologously expressed in COS-1 cells and functionally characterized in terms of expression level, paclitaxel 6alpha-hydroxylase activity, and intracellular localization. The prematurely terminated R186X variant was undetectable by Western blotting and inactive toward paclitaxel 6alpha-hydroxylation. The G171S, K247R, and K383N variants exhibited properties similar to those of the wild-type CYP2C8. Paclitaxel 6alpha-hydroxylase activity of the R186G transfectant was only 10 to 20% that of wild-type CYP2C8. Furthermore, the R186G variant displayed a lower level of protein expression in comparison to the wild type, which was restored by the addition of a proteasome inhibitor (MG-132; Z-Leu-Leu-Leu-aldehyde). The reduced CO-difference spectral analysis using recombinant proteins from an insect cell/baculovirus system revealed that the R186G variant has a minor peak at 420 nm in addition to the characteristic Soret peak at 450 nm, suggesting the existence of improperly folded protein. These results indicate that the novel CYP2C8 SNPs, 556C>T (R186X) and 556C>G (R186G), could influence the metabolism of CYP2C8 substrates such as paclitaxel and cerivastatin.

Abstract
Studies were conducted to evaluate the potential mechanism-based inactivation of recombinant and human liver microsomal CYP2C8 by clinically used drugs. Several tricyclic antidepressants, calcium channel blockers, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, and various other known CYP3A4 inhibitors exhibited greater inhibition of CYP2C8 (paclitaxel 6alpha-hydroxylation) following preincubation, consistent with mechanism-based inactivation. Inactivation of recombinant CYP2C8 by phenelzine, amiodarone, verapamil, nortriptyline, fluoxetine, and isoniazid was of the pseudo-first order type and was characterized by respective inactivation kinetic constants (KI and kinact) of 1.2 microM and 0.243 min(-1), 1.5 microM and 0.079 min(-1), 17.5 microM and 0.065 min(-1), 49.9 microM and 0.036 min(-1), 294 microM and 0.083 min(-1), and 374 microM and 0.042 min(-1). Spectral scanning of recombinant CYP2C8 demonstrated the formation of metabolite-intermediate complexes with verapamil, nortriptyline, fluoxetine, and isoniazid, but not amiodarone. In contrast, inactivation by phenelzine resulted from heme destruction by free radicals. Studies with human liver microsomes (HLMs) revealed that nortriptyline, verapamil, and fluoxetine were not mechanism-based inactivators (MBIs) of CYP2C8. Simultaneous inactivation of CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 (paclitaxel 3'-phenyl-hydroxylation) was observed using amiodarone, isoniazid, and phenelzine with the efficiency of inactivation greater for the CYP3A4 pathway. With the exception of phenelzine, glutathione and superoxide dismutase failed to protect CYP2C8 (recombinant and HLMs) or CYP3A4 from inactivation by MBIs. However, the alternate CYP2C8 substrate, torsemide, prevented CYP2C8 inactivation in all cases. These data are consistent with mechanism-based inactivation of CYP2C8 by a range of commonly prescribed drugs, several of which have been implicated in clinically important drug-drug interactions.
