Abstract
BACKGROUND Chiral safety, especially chiral drug inversion in vivo, is the top priority of current scientific research. Medicine researchers and pharmacists often ignore that one enantiomer will be converted or partially converted to another enantiomer when it is ingested in vivo. So that, in the context that more than 50% of the listed drugs are chiral drugs, it is necessary and important to pay attention to the inversion of chiral drugs. METHODS The metabolic and stereoselective pharmacokinetic characteristics of seven chiral drugs with one chiral center in the hydroxy group were reviewed in vivo and in vitro including the possible chiral inversion of each drug enantiomer. These seven drugs include (S)-Mandelic acid, RS-8359, Tramadol, Venlafaxine, Carvedilol, Fluoxetine and Metoprolol. RESULTS The differences in stereoselective pharmacokinetics could be found for all the seven chiral drugs, since R and S isomers often exhibit different PK and PD properties. However, not every drug has shown the properties of one direction or two direction chiral inversion. For chiral hydroxyl group drugs, the redox enzyme system may be one of the key factors for chiral inversion in vivo. CONCLUSION In vitro and in vivo chiral inversion is a very complex problem and may occur during every process of ADME. Nowadays, research on chiral metabolism in the liver has the most attention, while neglecting the chiral transformation of other processes. Our review may provide the basis for the drug R&D and the safety of drugs in clinical therapy.

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

Abstract
In a previous paper by the authors on RS-8359, a new selective and reversible monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) inhibitor, it was reported that the (S)-enantiomer of RS-8359 is rapidly eliminated from rats, monkeys and humans as a result of the formation of a 2-oxidative metabolite. The present study investigates the properties of the enzyme responsible for the 2-oxidation of RS-8359. Subcellular localization, cofactor requirement and the inhibitory effects of typical compounds were studied using rat liver preparations. In addition, the enzyme was purified from rat liver cytosol for further characterization. The enzyme activity was localized in the cytosolic fraction without the need for any cofactor and was extensively inhibited by menadione, chlorpromazine and quinacrine. The purified enzyme was also a homodimer with a monomeric molecular weight of 140 kDa and it had an A280/A450 ratio of 5.1 in the absorption spectrum. The results suggest that the enzyme responsible for the biotransformation of RS-8359 to give the 2-keto derivative is aldehyde oxidase (EC 1.2.3.1). The reaction of aldehyde oxidase is highly stereoselective for the (S)-configuration of RS-8359 and the (9R)-configuration of cinchona alkaloids.

Abstract
RS-8359, (+/-)-4-(4-cyanoanilino)-5,6-dihydro-7-hydroxy-7H-cyclopenta[d]-pyrimidine is a selective and reversible MAO-A inhibitor. The (S)-enantiomer of RS-8359 has been demonstrated to be inverted to the (R)-enantiomer after oral administration to rats. In the current study, we investigated the chiral inversion mechanism and the properties of involved enzymes using rat liver subcellular fractions. The 7-hydroxy function of RS-8359 was oxidized at least by the two different enzymes. The cytosolic enzyme oxidized enantiospecifically the (S)-enantiomer with NADP as a cofactor. On the other hand, the microsomal enzyme catalyzed more preferentially the oxidation of the (S)-enantiomer than the (R)-enantiomer with NAD as a cofactor. With to product enantioselectivity of reduction of the 7-keto derivative, it was found that only the alcohol bearing (R)-configuration was formed by the cytosolic enzyme with NADPH and the microsomal enzyme with NADH at almost equal rate. The reduction rate was much larger than the oxidation rate of 7-hydroxy group. The results suggest that the chiral inversion might occur via an enantioselectivity of consecutive two opposing reactions, oxidation and reduction of keto-alcohol group. In this case, the direction of chiral inversion from the (S)-enantiomer to the (R)-enantiomer is governed by the enantiospecific reduction of intermediate 7-keto group to the alcohol with (R)-configuration. The enzyme responsible for the enantiospecific reduction of the 7-keto group was purified from rat liver cytosolic fractions and identified as 3alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3alpha-HSD) via database search of peptide mass data obtained by nano-LC/MS/MS.

Abstract
The stereoselectivity in the reduction of 4-benzoylpyridine (4-BP) was examined in the cytosolic fractions from the heart of 9 vertebrates (pig, rabbit, guinea pig, rat, mouse, chicken, soft-shelled turtle, frog and flounder). 4-BP was stereoselectively reduced to S(-)-alpha-phenyl-4-pyridylmethanol [S(-)-PPOL] in the cytosolic fractions from the heart of pig, rabbit and guinea pig. However, of mammalian heart cytsol tested, only rat heart cytosol had little ability to reduce stereoselectively 4-BP. In an attempt to elucidate this reason, amino acid sequence of rat heart carbonyl reductase (RatHCR) was deduced from the cloned cDNA and compared with that of pig heart carbonyl reductase (PigHCR), which shows a high stereoselectivity in the reduction of 4-BP to S(-)-PPOL. RatHCR showed a high identity with PigHCR in amino acid sequence. Furthermore, recombinant RatHCR was confirmed to reduce stereoselectively 4-BP to S(-)-PPOL with a high optical purity comparable to recombinant PigHCR. It is possible that in the cytosolic fraction from the heart of rat, constitutive reductase other than RatHCR counteracts the stereoselective reduction of 4-BP to S(-)-PPOL, by catalyzing the reduction of 4-BP to the R(+)-enantiomer.

Abstract
Aldehyde oxidase catalysed 2-oxidation activity of the (S)-enantiomer of RS-8359, a selective and reversible monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) inhibitor, was investigated in liver cytosolic fractions from ten rat strains. Remarkably large strain differences were observed with approximately a 230 variation between the highest activity in the Wistar-Imamichi strain and the lowest activity in the Slc:Wistar strain. The activities of Crj:SD and Slc:SD strain rats were considerably low, and that of the F344/DuCrj strain was very low. Among six Wistar strains, Crj:Wistar, Slc:Wistar, WKY/Izm, WKAH/Hkm, Jcl:Wistar and Wistar-Imamichi, the Slc:Wistar strain rats showed exceptionally low 2-oxidation activity that was comparable to that of the F344/DuCrj strain. The rat strain differences in the catalytic activity of aldehyde oxidase could correlate in part with the expressed levels of protein based on the mRNA of aldehyde oxidase. However, no small discrepancy existed in the almost negligible catalytic activity and the fairly high expression levels of protein and mRNA in the F344/DuCrj and Slc:Wistar strain rats. Some genetic factors might possibly be one of reasons for the discrepancy.

Abstract
RS-8359, (+/-)-4-(4-cyanoanilino)-5,6-dihydro-7-hydroxy-7H-cyclopenta[d]-pyrimidine is a racemic compound with a selective and reversible monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) inhibition activity. The substrate and product enantioselectivity with respect to 2-hydroxylation of RS-8359 enantiomers was studied using mouse and rat liver microsomes. In mice, the (S)-enantiomer was transformed to the cis-diol metabolite, whereas the (R)-enantiomer to the trans-diol metabolite. The Vmax/Km value for the formation of the cis-diol metabolite from the (S)-enantiomer was sevenfold greater than that for the formation of the trans-diol metabolite from the (R)-enantiomer. The greater Vmax/Km value for the (S)-enantiomer was due to the tenfold smaller Km value compared to that for the (R)-enantiomer. The results were in fair agreement with the previously reported low plasma concentrations of the (S)-enantiomer and the high recovery of the cis-diol metabolite derived from the (S)-enantiomer in urine after oral administration of RS-8359 to mice. Similarly to mice, in rats the (R)-enantiomer was transformed to the trans-diol metabolite, whereas the (S)-enantiomer yielded the cis-diol and trans-diol metabolites. The Vmax/Km value for the (R)-enantiomer was larger than that for the (S)-enantiomer in rats, indicating that the low plasma concentration of the (S)-enantiomer in rats might be caused by a metabolic reaction other than P450-dependent hydroxylation. CYP3A was shown to be responsible for the trans-diol formation from the (R)-enantiomer.

Abstract
RS-8359, (+/-)-4-(4-cyanoanilino)-5,6-dihydro-7-hydroxy-7H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidine selectively and reversibly inhibits monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A). After oral administration of rac-RS-8359 to rats, mice, dogs, monkeys, and humans, plasma concentrations of the (R)-enantiomer were greatly higher than were those of the (S)-enantiomer in all species studied. The AUC((R)) to AUC((S)) ratios were 2.6 in rats, 3.8 in mice, 31 in dogs, and 238 in monkeys, and the (S)-enantiomer was almost negligible in human plasma. After intravenous administration of RS-8359 enantiomers to rats, the pharmacokinetic parameters showed that the (S)-enantiomer had a 2.7-fold greater total clearance (CL(t)) and a 70% shorter half-life (t(1/2)) than those for the (R)-enantiomer but had no difference in distribution volume (V(d)). No significant difference in the intestinal absorption rate was observed. The principal metabolites were the 2-keto form, possibly produced by aldehyde oxidase, the cis-diol form, and the 2-keto-cis-diol form produced by cytochrome P450 in rats, the cis-diol form in mice, RS-8359 glucuronide in dogs, and the 2-keto form in monkeys and humans. Thus, the rapid disappearance of the (S)-enantiomer from the plasma was thought to be due to the rapid metabolism of the (S)-enantiomer by different drug-metabolizing enzymes, depending on species.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of one eye enucleation on the expression of c-Fos protein in the hypothalamus of the Japanese monkey (Macaca fuscata). Compared with an intact monkey, significantly increased numbers of c-Fos positive neurons were observed in the supraoptic nuclei on both sides at 1 h after eye enucleation. This maximal c-Fos expression then started to decrease at 3 h after eye enucleation. Furthermore, by a dual-labeled immunocytochemical study, the c-Fos immunoreactivity was found mainly in the vasopressinergic but not in the oxytocinergic neurons within the supraoptic nucleus. These results suggest that vasopressinergic but not oxytocinergic neurons within the supraoptic nucleus may have critical roles in the stimulation of this nucleus in response to eye enucleation.
