Abstract
Daphnids and chironomids have been used to assess the ecological effects of chemicals released into water bodies; however, the toxicity mechanisms in organisms are generally difficult to identify. Here, we developed a system capable of estimating the contribution of cytochrome P450 (CYP) to the metabolism of test substances in Daphnia magna and Chironomus yoshimatsui based on toxicity differences in the absence and presence of the CYP inhibitors piperonyl butoxide (PBO) and 1-aminobenzotriazole (ABT). The optimum concentrations of PBO and ABT that could effectively reduce the toxicity of diazinon, which is toxic after oxidative metabolism in vivo, were determined as 0.5 and 0.6 mg/L for D. magna, and 2.0 and 40.0 mg/L for C. yoshimatsui, respectively. Acute immobilization tests of 15 insecticides were conducted for D. magna and C. yoshimatsui, with and without the optimum concentrations of PBO or ABT. In the presence of either inhibitor, chlorpyrifos and chlorfenapyr toxicity was reduced in both organisms, whereas those of thiocyclam, nereistoxin, and silafluofen were enhanced in C. yoshimatsui. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of D. magna and C. yoshimatsui samples exposed to chlorfenapyr confirmed that the level of the active metabolite produced by CYP was decreased by PBO or ABT in both organisms. The system to which the test substance was co-exposed to PBO or ABT will be valuable for estimating the contribution of CYPs to metabolism and elucidating the toxicity mechanism in daphnids and chironomids.

Abstract
Melatonin, a widely applied cosmetic active ingredient, has a variety of uses as a skin protector through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory functions as well as giving the body UV-induced defenses and immune system support. In the body, melatonin is synthesized from a tryptophan amino acid in a cascade of reactions, but as melatonin is toxic at high concentrations, it is metabolized in the human skin by the cytochrome P450 enzymes. The P450s are diverse heme-based mono-oxygenases that catalyze oxygen atom-transfer processes that trigger metabolism and detoxification reactions in the body. In the catalytic cycle of the P450s, a short-lived high-valent iron(IV)-oxo heme cation radical is formed that has been proposed to be the active oxidant. How and why it activates melatonin in the human body and what the origin of the product distributions is, are unknown. This encouraged us to do a detailed computational study on a typical human P450 isozyme, namely CYP1A1. We initially did a series of molecular dynamics simulations with substrate docked into several orientations. These simulations reveal a number of stable substrate-bound positions in the active site, which may lead to differences in substrate activation channels. Using tunneling analysis on the full protein structures, we show that two of the four binding conformations lead to open substrate-binding pockets. As a result, in these open pockets, the substrate is not tightly bound and can escape back into the solution. In the closed conformations, in contrast, the substrate is mainly oriented with the methoxy group pointing toward the heme, although under a different angle. We then created large quantum cluster models of the enzyme and focused on the chemical reaction mechanisms for melatonin activation, leading to competitive O-demethylation and C6-aromatic hydroxylation pathways. The calculations show that active site positioning determines the product distributions, but the bond that is activated is not necessarily closest to the heme in the enzyme-substrate complex. As such, the docking and molecular dynamics positioning of the substrate versus oxidant can give misleading predictions on product distributions. In particular, in quantum mechanics cluster model I, we observe that through a tight hydrogen bonding network, a preferential 6-hydroxylation of melatonin is obtained. However, O-demethylation becomes possible in alternative substrate-binding orientations that have the C6-aromatic ring position shielded. Finally, we investigated enzymatic and non-enzymatic O-demethylation processes and show that the hydrogen bonding network in the substrate-binding pocket can assist and perform this step prior to product release from the enzyme.

Abstract
Drug compounds or their metabolic intermediates (MIs) sometimes inhibit the function of cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s) by forming a coordination bond with the Fe(III) heme or Fe(II) heme of P450s. Such inhibition is one of the major causes of drug-drug interactions (DDIs), a subject of longstanding academic and practical interest. However, such coordination bonding is not fully understood at the quantum mechanical level, thus hampering rational improvement of the accuracy of DDI-related predictions. In this work, we employed density functional theory (DFT) and the generalized Kohn-Sham energy decomposition analysis (GKS-EDA) scheme to investigate the nature of the coordination bonding formed in the reversible and quasi-irreversible inhibition of P450s. The GKS-EDA results highlighted a previously unrecognized role of the electron correlation effect in P450 inhibition. The correlation effect tends to be larger in Fe(II) complexes of MI-type inhibitors and is particularly prominent for the nitrosoalkane ligand. An additional natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis provided insight into the relative significance of the σ donation and π backdonation effects in various heme-inhibitor complexes.

Abstract
Drugs containing thiazole and aminothiazole groups are known to generate reactive metabolites (RMs) catalyzed by cytochrome P450s (CYPs). These RMs can covalently modify essential cellular macromolecules and lead to toxicity and induce idiosyncratic adverse drug reactions. Molecular docking and quantum chemical hybrid DFT study were carried out to explore the molecular mechanisms involved in the biotransformation of thiazole (TZ) and aminothiazole (ATZ) groups leading to RM epoxide, S-oxide, N-oxide, and oxaziridine. The energy barrier required for the epoxidation is 13.63 kcal/mol, that is lower than that of S-oxidation, N-oxidation, and oxaziridine formation (14.56, 17.90, and 20.20, kcal/mol respectively). The presence of the amino group in ATZ further facilitates all the metabolic pathways, for example, the barrier for the epoxidation reaction is reduced by ∼2.5 kcal/mol. Some of the RMs/their isomers are highly electrophilic and tend to form covalent bonds with nucleophilic amino acids, finally leading to the formation of metabolic intermediate complexes (MICs). The energy profiles of these competitive pathways have also been explored.

Abstract
Mechanism-based inactivation (MBI) refers to the metabolic bioactivation of a xenobiotic by cytochrome P450s to a highly reactive intermediate which subsequently binds to the enzyme and leads to the quasi-irreversible or irreversible inhibition. Xenobiotics, mainly drugs with specific functional units, are the major sources of MBI. Two possible consequences of MBI by medicinal compounds are drug-drug interaction and severe toxicity that are observed and highlighted by clinical experiments. Today almost all of these latent functional groups (e.g., thiophene, furan, alkylamines, etc.) are known, and their features and mechanisms of action, owing to the vast experimental and theoretical studies, are determined. In the past decade, molecular modeling techniques, mostly density functional theory, have revealed the most feasible mechanism that a drug undergoes by P450 enzymes to generate a highly reactive intermediate. In this review, we provide a comprehensive and detailed picture of computational advances toward the elucidation of the activation mechanisms of various known groups with MBI activity. To this aim, we briefly describe the computational concepts to carry out and analyze the mechanistic investigations, and then, we summarize the studies on compounds with known inhibition activity including thiophene, furan, alkylamines, terminal acetylene, etc. This study can be reference literature for both theoretical and experimental (bio)chemists in several different fields including rational drug design, the process of toxicity prevention, and the discovery of novel inhibitors and catalysts.

Abstract
A recently characterized cytochrome P450 isozyme GcoA activates lignin components through a selective O-demethylation or alternatively an acetal formation reaction. These are important reactions in biotechnology and, because lignin is readily available; it being the main component in plant cell walls. In this work we present a density functional theory study on a large active site model of GcoA to investigate syringol activation by an iron(IV)-oxo heme cation radical oxidant (Compound I) leading to hemiacetal and acetal products. Several substrate-binding positions were tested and full energy landscapes calculated. The study shows that substrate positioning determines the product distributions. Thus, with the phenol group pointing away from the heme, an O-demethylation is predicted, whereas an initial hydrogen-atom abstraction of the weak phenolic O-H group would trigger a pathway leading to ring-closure to form acetal products. Predictions on how to engineer P450 GcoA to get more selective product distributions are given.

Modulation of Major Human Liver Microsomal Cytochromes P450 by Component Alkaloids of Goldenseal: Time-Dependent Inhibition and Allosteric Effects. Drug Metab Dispos 2020; 48:1018-1027. [PMID: 32591416 DOI: 10.1124/dmd.120.091041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2020] [Accepted: 06/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Botanical and other natural products (NPs) are often coconsumed with prescription medications, presenting a risk for cytochrome P450 (P450)-mediated NP-drug interactions. The NP goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) has exhibited antimicrobial activities in vitro attributed to isoquinoline alkaloids contained in the plant, primarily berberine, (-)-β-hydrastine, and to a lesser extent, hydrastinine. These alkaloids contain methylenedioxyphenyl rings, structural alerts with potential to inactivate P450s through formation of metabolic intermediate complexes. Time-dependent inhibition experiments were conducted to evaluate their ability to inhibit major P450 activities in human liver microsomes by using a cocktail of isozyme-specific substrate probes. Berberine inhibited CYP2D6 (dextromethorphan O-demethylation; K I = 2.7 μM, kinact = 0.065 minute-1) and CYP3A4/5 (midazolam 1'-hydroxylation; K I = 14.8 μM, kinact = 0.019 minute-1); (-)-β-hydrastine inhibited CYP2C9 (diclofenac 4'-hydroxylation; K I = 49 μM, kinact = 0.036 minute-1), CYP2D6 (K I > 250 μM, kinact > 0.06 minute-1), and CYP3A4/5 (K I = 28 μM, kinact = 0.056 minute-1); and hydrastinine inhibited CYP2D6 (K I = 37 μM, kinact = 0.049 minute-1) activity. Berberine additionally exhibited allosteric effects on midazolam hydroxylation, showing both positive and negative heterotropic cooperativity. Experiments with recombinant isozymes showed that berberine activated midazolam 1'-hydroxylation by CYP3A5, lowering K m(app), but showed mixed inhibition and negative cooperativity toward this reaction when catalyzed by CYP3A4. Berberine inactivated CYP3A4 at a much faster rate than CYP3A5 and was a noncompetitive inhibitor of midazolam 4-hydroxylation by CYP3A4 but a strong mixed inhibitor of the CYP3A5 catalyzed reaction. These complex kinetics should be considered when extrapolating the risk for NP-drug interactions involving goldenseal. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Robust kinetic parameters were determined for the reversible and time-dependent inhibition of CYP2C9, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4/5 activities in human liver microsomes by major component isoquinoline alkaloids contained in the botanical natural product goldenseal. The alkaloid berberine also exhibited opposing, isozyme-specific allosteric effects on midazolam hydroxylation mediated by recombinant CYP3A4 (inhibition) and CYP3A5 (activation). These data will inform the development of a physiologically based pharmacokinetic model that can be used to predict potential clinically relevant goldenseal-drug interactions.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme kinetics often do not conform to Michaelis-Menten assumptions, and time-dependent inactivation (TDI) of CYPs displays complexities such as multiple substrate binding, partial inactivation, quasi-irreversible inactivation, and sequential metabolism. Additionally, in vitro experimental issues such as lipid partitioning, enzyme concentrations, and inactivator depletion can further complicate the parameterization of in vitro TDI. The traditional replot method used to analyze in vitro TDI datasets is unable to handle complexities in CYP kinetics, and numerical approaches using ordinary differential equations of the kinetic schemes offer several advantages. Improvement in the parameterization of CYP in vitro kinetics has the potential to improve prediction of clinical drug-drug interactions (DDIs). This manuscript discusses various complexities in TDI kinetics of CYPs, and numerical approaches to model these complexities. The extrapolation of CYP in vitro TDI parameters to predict in vivo DDIs with static and dynamic modeling is discussed, along with a discussion on current gaps in knowledge and future directions to improve the prediction of DDI with in vitro data for CYP catalyzed drug metabolism.

Abstract
Piperine (PPR) is the representative alkaloid component of the piper species (family: Piperaceae). Our rapid screening study found PPR caused time-dependent inhibition of cytochrome P450s (CYP) 3A and 2D6, and CYP3A was inactivated the most. Further study demonstrated that PPR is a time-, concentration-, and NADPH-dependent inhibitor of CYP3A, and significant loss (49.5% ± 3.9%) of CYP3A activity was observed after 20minute incubations with 80 μM PPR at 37°C. The values of K I and k inact were 30.7 μM and 0.041 minutes-1, respectively. CYP3A competitive inhibitor ketoconazole showed protective effect against the enzyme inactivation. Superoxide dismutase/catalase and GSH displayed minor protection against the PPR-caused enzyme inactivation. Ferricyanide partially reduced the enzyme inhibition by PPR. Additionally, NADPH-dependent formation of reactive metabolites from PPR were found in human liver microsomal incubation mixtures. An ortho-quinone intermediate was trapped by NAC in microsomal incubations with PPR. DM-PPR, demethylene metabolite of PPR, showed weak enzyme inactivation relative to that caused by PPR. It appears that both carbene and ortho-quinone intermediates were involved in the inactivation of CYP3A caused by PPR. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: CYP3A subfamily members (mainly CYP3A4 and CYP3A5) play a critical role in drug metabolism. Piperine (PPR), a methylenedioxyphenyl derivative combined with an unsaturated ketone, is the major active ingredient of pepper. PPR revealed time-, concentration-, and NADPH-dependent inhibitory effect on CYP3A. Carbene and quinone metabolites were both involved in the observed CYP3A inactivation by PPR. Apparently, the unsaturated ketone moiety did not participate in the enzyme inactivation. The present study sounds an alert of potential risk for food-drug interactions.

Characterization of stable and reactive metabolites of piperine formed on incubation with human liver microsomes. JOURNAL OF MASS SPECTROMETRY : JMS 2019; 54:738-749. [PMID: 31368246 DOI: 10.1002/jms.4424] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2019] [Revised: 07/24/2019] [Accepted: 07/25/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Black pepper, though commonly employed as a spice, has many medicinal properties. It consists of volatile oils, alkaloids, pungent resins, etc., of which piperine is a major constituent. Though safe at low doses, piperine causes alteration in the activity of drug metabolising enzymes and transporters at high dose and is known to precipitate liver toxicity. It has a potential to form reactive metabolite(s) (RM) owing to the presence of structural alerts, such as methylenedioxyphenyl (MDP), α, β-unsaturated carbonyl group (Michael acceptor), and piperidine. The present study was designed to detect and characterize stable and RM(s) of piperine formed on in vitro incubation with human liver microsomes. The investigation of RMs was done with the aid of trapping agents, viz, glutathione (GSH) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC). The samples were analysed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) using Thermo Scientific Q Exactive Plus Orbitrap. Full scan MS followed by data-dependent MS2 (Full MS-ddMS2 ) mode was used to establish mass spectrometric fragmentation pathways of protonated piperine and its metabolites. In total, four stable metabolites and their isomers (M1a-c, M2a-b, M3a-c, and M4a-b) were detected. Their formation involved removal of carbon (3, M1a-c), hydroxylation (2, M2a-b), hydroxylation with hydrogenation (3, M3a-c), and dehydrogenation (2, M4a-b). Out of these metabolites, M1, M2, and M3 are reported earlier in the literature, but their isomers and two M4 variants are novel. In addition, six novel conjugates of RMs, including three GSH conjugates of m/z 579 and three NAC conjugates of m/z 435, were also observed.

Abstract
Carbocyclic carbenes (CCCs) are a class of nucleophilic carbenes which are very similar to N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) in terms of their reactivity, but they do not contain a stabilizing heteroatom in their cyclic ring system. In this study, 17 representative known CCCs and 34 newly designed CCCs are evaluated using quantum chemical methods, and the results are compared in terms of their stability, nucleophilicity, and proton affinity (PA) parameters. The results are divided on the basis of ring size of the known and reported CCCs. The stability, nucleophilicity, PA, complexation energy, and bond strength-related parameters were estimated using M06/6-311++G(d,p) method. The results indicated that the CCCs known in the literature are strong σ-electron donating species and have considerable π-accepting properties. This study led to the design and identification of a few new CCCs with dimethylamine and diaminomethynyl substituents which can be singlet stable and are substantially nucleophilic. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Nitidine chloride (NC) is a benzophenanthridine alkaloid isolated from the roots of Zanthoxylum nitidum (Roxb.) DC, a widely used traditional herbal medicine. Several reports have revealed NC's multiple pharmacologic properties. The inhibitory effects of NC on human cytochrome P450 enzymes were investigated in the present study. We found that NC caused time- and concentration-dependent inhibition of CYP2D6, and more than 50% of CYP2D6 activity was suppressed after a 15-minute incubation with NC at 100 μM in the primary incubation mixtures, with KI of 4.36 μM, kinact of 0.052 minute-1, and a partition ratio of approximately 290. Moreover, the loss of CYP2D6 activity required the presence of NADPH. Superoxide dismutase/catalase and glutathione showed minor protection against the NC-induced enzyme inhibition. Quinidine as a competitive inhibitor of CYP2D6 slowed down the inactivation by NC. Trapping experiments using N-acetylcysteine demonstrated that quinone and/or carbene intermediate(s) were/was generated in human liver microsomal incubations with NC. In addition, potassium ferricyanide prevented the enzyme from the inactivation mediated by NC, which provided evidence that inhibition of CYP2D6 resulted from heme destruction by the formation of a carbene-iron complex. CYP1A2 was found to be the major enzyme involved in the generation of NC quinone metabolites. In conclusion, NC is a mechanism-based inactivator of CYP2D6. The generation of a carbene intermediate might be mainly responsible for the enzyme inactivation.

Abstract
Sesamin, derived from sesame seeds, is known to have various biological effects. Since some of these effects appear to be derived from its metabolites, the elucidation of sesamin metabolism is essential to understanding the molecular mechanism of its effects. In addition, it is important to clarify drug-sesamin interactions in order to address safety concerns, as some food factors are known to affect drug metabolism. Our previous studies revealed that sesamin was sequentially metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase or sulfotransferase. Whereas sesamin metabolism is mainly mediated by CYP2C9 in human liver, sesamin causes a mechanism-based inhibition (MBI) of CYP2C9. However, we found that the metabolite-intermediate complex between CYP2C9 and sesamin was unstable, and the effects of sesamin appeared to be minimal. To confirm this assumption, in vivo studies using rats were conducted. After the administration of sesamin to rats for 3 d, diclofenac (an NSAID) was administered to measure the time course of plasma concentration of diclofenac. No significant differences were observed in the diclofenac Cmax, Tmax, and AUC0-24 h between the group that was administered sesamin and the group that was not. Based on these results, it could be concluded that no significant interaction occurs in people who take sesamin supplements at a standard dose.

Abstract
An in vitro observation of time-dependent inhibition (TDI) of metabolic enzymes often results in removing a potential drug from the drug pipeline. However, the accepted method for predicting TDIs of the important drug metabolizing cytochrome P450 enzymes often overestimates the drug interaction potential. Better models that take into account the complexities of the cytochrome P450 enzyme system will lead to better predictions. Herein we report the use of our previously described models for complex kinetics of podophyllotoxin. Spectral characterization of the kinetics indicates that an intermediate MI complex is formed, which slowly progresses to an essentially irreversible MI complex. The intermediate MI complex can release free enzyme during the time course of a typical 30 min TDI experiment. This slow rate of MI complex conversion results in an overprediction of the kinact value if this process is not included in the analysis of the activity versus time profile. In vitro kinetic experiments in rat liver microsomes predicted a lack of drug interaction between podophyllotoxin and midazolam. In vivo rat pharmacokinetic studies confirmed this lack of drug interaction.

Abstract
Iron porphyrin carbenes constitute a new frontier of species with considerable synthetic potential. Exquisitely engineered myoglobin and cytochrome P450 enzymes can generate these complexes and facilitate the transformations they mediate. The current work harnesses density functional theoretical methods to provide insight into the electronic structure, formation, and N-H insertion reactivity of an iron porphyrin carbene, [Fe(Por)(SCH3)(CHCO2Et)](-), a model of a complex believed to exist in an experimentally studied artificial metalloenzyme. The ground state electronic structure of the terminal form of this complex is an open-shell singlet, with two antiferromagnetically coupled electrons residing on the iron center and carbene ligand. As we shall reveal, the bonding properties of [Fe(Por)(SCH3)(CHCO2Et)](-) are remarkably analogous to those of ferric heme superoxide complexes. The carbene forms by dinitrogen loss from ethyl diazoacetate. This reaction occurs preferentially through an open-shell singlet transition state: iron donates electron density to weaken the C-N bond undergoing cleavage. Once formed, the iron porphyrin carbene accomplishes N-H insertion via nucleophilic attack. The resulting ylide then rearranges, using an internal carbonyl base, to form an enol that leads to the product. The findings rationalize experimentally observed reactivity trends reported in artificial metalloenzymes employing iron porphyrin carbenes. Furthermore, these results suggest a possible expansion of enzymatic substrate scope, to include aliphatic amines. Thus, this work, among the first several computational explorations of these species, contributes insights and predictions to the surging interest in iron porphyrin carbenes and their synthetic potential.

Abstract
Drug metabolism of thiophene containing substrates by cytochrome P450s (CYP450) leads to toxic side effects, for example, nephrotoxicity (suprofen, ticlopidine), hepatotoxicity (tienilic acid), thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (clopidogrel), and aplastic anemia (ticlopidine). The origin of toxicity in these cases has been attributed to two different CYP450 mediated metabolic reactions: S-oxidation and epoxidation. In this work, the molecular level details of the bioinorganic chemistry associated with the generation of these competitive reactions are reported. Density functional theory was utilized (i) to explore the molecular mechanism for S-oxidation and epoxidation using the radical cationic center Cpd I [(iron(IV)-oxo-heme porphine system with SH(-) as the axial ligand, to mimic CYP450s] as the model oxidant, (ii) to establish the 3D structures of the reactants, transition states, and products on both the metabolic pathways, and (iii) to examine the potential energy (PE) profile for both the pathways to determine the energetically preferred toxic metabolite formation. The energy barrier required for S-oxidation was observed to be 14.75 kcal/mol as compared to that of the epoxidation reaction (13.23 kcal/mol) on the doublet PE surface of Cpd I. The formation of the epoxide metabolite was found to be highly exothermic (-23.24 kcal/mol), as compared to S-oxidation (-8.08 kcal/mol). Hence, on a relative scale the epoxidation process was observed to be thermodynamically and kinetically more favorable. The energy profiles associated with the reactions of the S-oxide and epoxide toxic metabolites were also explored. This study helps in understanding the CYP450-catalyzed toxic reactions of drugs containing the thiophene ring at the atomic level.

Pharmacol Res Perspect 2015; 3:e00174. [PMID: 26516586 PMCID: PMC4618645 DOI: 10.1002/prp2.174] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2015] [Revised: 06/24/2015] [Accepted: 07/14/2015] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Our previous studies revealed that sesamin caused a mechanism-based inhibition (MBI) of CYP2C9 in human liver microsomes. Additionally, we observed a similar MBI of CYP2C by sesamin in the rat liver microsomes. Sesamin-induced difference spectra of rat or human liver microsomes in the presence of NADPH showed a peak at 459 nm, suggesting the formation of a metabolic–intermediate (MI) complex of cytochrome P450 and the methylenedioxyphenyl group of sesamin. However, the peak disappeared in both liver microsomes within 30 min after the termination of the metabolism. These results suggest that the MI complex of cytochrome P450 and sesamin is unstable, and the effects of sesamin on human CYP2C9- or rat CYP2C-mediated drug metabolism may be small. To confirm this, in vivo studies using rats were performed. The pharmacokinetics of diclofenac, which is mainly metabolized by CYP2C11 in male rats, were investigated after a 3-days administration of sesamin (0, 10, and 100 mg/kg bw). No significant differences were observed among the three groups in the pharmacokinetic parameters, Cmax, Tmax, and AUC. Furthermore, administration of sesamin to rats for 7 days had no significant effects on diclofenac hydroxylation activity in rat liver microsomes. These results demonstrate that no significant interaction occurs between diclofenac and sesamin in rats. Moreover, the results of these in vitro and in vivo studies suggest that no significant interaction may occur between sesamin and diclofenac when sesamin is administered to humans as a supplement, since the standard sesamin dose in humans is much lower than that administered to rats in this study.

Abstract
Iron porphyrin carbenes (IPCs) are important intermediates in various chemical reactions catalyzed by iron porphyrins and engineered heme proteins, as well as in the metabolism of various xenobiotics by cytochrome P450. However, there are no prior theoretical reports to help understand their formation mechanisms and identify key information governing the binding mode, formation feasibility, and stability/reactivity. A systematic quantum chemical study was performed to investigate the effects of carbene substituent, porphyrin substituent, and axial ligand on IPC formation pathways. Results not only are consistent with available experimental data but also provide a number of unprecedented insights into electronic, steric, and H-bonding effects of various structural factors on IPC formation mechanisms. These results shall facilitate research on IPC and related systems for sustainable chemical catalysis and biocatalysis.

DFT study on the oxygen transfer mechanism in nitroethenediamine based H2-receptor antagonists using the bis-dithiolene complex as the model catalyst for N-oxide reductase enzyme. J Inorg Biochem 2014; 142:84-91.

Abstract
Nitroethenediamine is an important functional unit, which is present in H2-receptor antagonists. These drugs show low bioavailability due to the bacterial degradation caused by the N-oxide reductase type of enzymes present in the human colon. Quantum chemical studies have been carried out to elucidate the mechanism of metabolic degradation of nitroethenediamine in the active site of N-oxide reductase. Three different pathways have been explored for the N-oxide bond cleavage by the model system, Mo(IV) bis-dithiolene complex [Mo(OMe)(mdt)2](-), (where mdt=1,2-dimethyl-ethene-1,2-dithiolate) using B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) and M06/6-311+G(d,p) Density Functional Theory methods. The oxygen atom transfer from the nitrogen atom of nitroethenediamine to the Mo(IV) complex, involves simultaneous weakening of the N-oxide bond and the formation of Mo-O bond through a least motion path. During this transfer, Mo center is converted from a square pyramidal geometry to a distorted octahedral geometry, to facilitate the process of oxygen atom transfer. The energy barrier for the oxygen atom transfer from the imine tautomer has been estimated to be 25.9kcal/mol however, the overall reaction has been found to be endothermic. On the other hand, oxygen transfer reaction from the nitronic acid tautomer requires 30.5kcal/mol energy leading to a highly exothermic metabolite (M-1) directly hence, this path can be considered thermodynamically favorable for this metabolite. The alternative path involving the oxygen atom transfer from the enamine tautomer requires comparatively a higher energy barrier (32.6kcal/mol) and leads to a slightly endothermic metabolite. This study established the structural and energetic details associated with the Mo(IV) bis-dithiolene complex that catalyzes the degradation of nitroethenediamine based drug molecules.

Abstract
Iron porphyrin carbenes (IPCs) are thought to be intermediates involved in the metabolism of various xenobiotics by cytochrome P450, as well as in chemical reactions catalyzed by metalloporphyrins and engineered P450s. While early work proposed IPCs to contain Fe(II), more recent work invokes a double-bond description of the iron-carbon bond, similar to that found in Fe(IV) porphyrin oxenes. Reported herein is the first quantum chemical investigation of IPC Mössbauer and NMR spectroscopic properties, as well as their electronic structures, together with comparisons to ferrous heme proteins and an Fe(IV) oxene model. The results provide the first accurate predictions of the experimental spectroscopic observables as well as the first theoretical explanation of their electrophilic nature, as deduced from experiment. The preferred resonance structure is Fe(II)←{:C(X)Y}(0) and not Fe(IV)={C(X)Y}(2-), a result that will facilitate research on IPC reactivities in various chemical and biochemical systems.

Abstract
The past decades have seen an explosive growth in the application of density functional theory (DFT) methods to molecular systems that are of interest in a variety of scientific fields. Owing to its balanced accuracy and efficiency, DFT plays particularly useful roles in the theoretical investigation of large molecules. Even for biological molecules such as proteins, DFT finds application in the form of, e.g., hybrid quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics (QM/MM), in which DFT may be used as a QM method to describe a higher prioritized region in the system, while a MM force field may be used to describe remaining atoms. Iron-containing molecules are particularly important targets of DFT calculations. From the viewpoint of chemistry, this is mainly because iron is abundant on earth, iron plays powerful (and often enigmatic) roles in enzyme catalysis, and iron thus has the great potential for biomimetic catalysis of chemically difficult transformations. In this paper, we present a brief overview of several recent applications of DFT to iron-containing non-heme synthetic complexes, heme-type cytochrome P450 enzymes, and non-heme iron enzymes, all of which are of particular interest in the field of bioinorganic chemistry. Emphasis will be placed on our own work.

Importance of H-abstraction in the final step of nitrosoalkane formation in the mechanism-based inactivation of cytochrome P450 by amine-containing drugs. Int J Mol Sci 2013; 14:24692-705. [PMID: 24351842 PMCID: PMC3876136 DOI: 10.3390/ijms141224692] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2013] [Revised: 11/27/2013] [Accepted: 11/29/2013] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
The metabolism of amine-containing drugs by cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s) is prone to form a nitrosoalkane metabolic intermediate (MI), which subsequently coordinates to the heme iron of a P450, to produce a metabolic-intermediate complex (MIC). This type of P450 inhibition, referred to as mechanism-based inactivation (MBI), presents a serious concern in drug discovery processes. We applied density functional theory (DFT) to the reaction between N-methylhydroxylamine (NMH) and the compound I reactive species of P450, in an effort to elucidate the mechanism of the putative final step of the MI formation in the alkylamine metabolism. Our DFT calculations show that H-abstraction from the hydroxyl group of NMH is the most favorable pathway via which the nitrosoalkane intermediate is produced spontaneously. H-abstraction from the N–H bond was slightly less favorable. In contrast, N-oxidation and H-abstraction from the C–H bond of the methyl group had much higher energy barriers. Hence, if the conversion of NMH to nitrosoalkane is catalyzed by a P450, the reaction should proceed preferentially via H-abstraction, either from the O–H bond or from the N–H bond. Our theoretical analysis of the interaction between the MI and pentacoordinate heme moieties provided further insights into the coordination bond in the MIC.
