Abstract
Fasudil hydrochloride as an intracellular calcium ion antagonist that dilates blood vessels has exhibited a very potent pharmacological effect in the treatment of angina pectoris. The purpose of this study was to determine the absorption, distribution, and excretion profiles of fasudil in rats and beagle dogs, respectively, to clarify its pharmacokinetic pattern. A sensitive and reliable LC-MS/MS method has been developed and established and successfully applied to pharmacokinetic study, including absorption, tissue distribution, and excretion. The results revealed that in the range of 2-6 mg/kg, the pharmacokinetic behavior for instance, AUC and Cmax , in rats was observed in a dose dependent manner. However, the plasma concentrations were indicative of a significant gender difference in the pharmacokinetics of fasudil in rats, in terms of absolute bioavailability and excretion. Interestingly, the resulting data obtained from beagle dogs showed that there was no gender difference in the absolute bioavailability of fasudil hydrochloride after single or repeated administrations. In conclusion, this study characterized the pharmacokinetic pattern fasudil both in rats and beagle dogs through absorption, tissue distribution and excretion study. The findings may be valuable and provide a rationale for further study and its safe use in clinical practice.

Establishment and use of new MDCK II cells overexpressing both UGT1A1 and MRP2 to characterize flavonoid metabolism via the glucuronidation pathway. Mol Nutr Food Res 2016; 60:1967-83. [PMID: 26833852 DOI: 10.1002/mnfr.201500321] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2015] [Revised: 11/23/2015] [Accepted: 01/12/2016] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
SCOPE The purpose of this study is to characterize how overexpression of an efflux transporter and an UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) affects the cellular kinetics of glucuronidation processes. METHODS AND RESULTS A new MDCK II cell line overexpressing both MRP2 and UGT1A1 (MDCKII-UGT1A1/MRP2 cells) was developed and used to determine how overexpression of an efflux transporter affects the kinetics of cellular flavonoid glucuronide production. The results showed that most model flavonoids (from a total of 13) were mainly metabolized into glucuronides in the MDCKII-UGT1A1/MRP2 cells and the glucuronides were rapidly excreted. Flavonoids with three or fewer hydroxyl group at 7, 3' or 6 hydroxyl group were also metabolized into sulfates. Mechanistic studies using 7-hydroxylflavone showed that its glucuronide was mainly (90%) effluxed by BCRP with a small (10%) but significant contribution from MRP2. Maximal velocity of glucuronide production MDCK-MRP2/UGT1A1 cells showed a fairly good correlation (R(2) >0.8) with those derived using UGT1A1 microsomes, but other kinetic parameters (e.g., Km ) did not correlate. CONCLUSION Overexpression of a second efficient efflux transporter did not significantly change the fact that BCRP is the dominant transporter for flavonoid glucuronide nor did it diminish the influence of the efflux transporter as the "gate keeper" of glucuronidation process.

Mol Nutr Food Res 2016; 60:1006-19. [PMID: 26843117 DOI: 10.1002/mnfr.201500692] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2015] [Revised: 01/20/2016] [Accepted: 01/25/2016] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
SCOPE Enterohepatic recycling is often thought to involve mostly phase II metabolites generated in the liver. This study aims to determine if direct biliary excretion of extrahepatically generated glucuronides would also enable recycling. METHODS AND RESULTS Conventional and modified intestinal perfusion models along with intestinal and liver microsomes were used to determine the contribution of extrahepatically derived glucuronides. Glucuronidation of four flavonoids (genistein, biochanin A, apigenin, and chrysin at 2.5-20 μM) were generally more rapid in the hepatic than intestinal microsomes. Furthermore, when aglycones (at 10 μM each) were perfused, larger (1.7-9 fold) amounts of glucuronides were found in the bile than in the luminal perfusate. However, higher concentrations of glucuronides were not found in jugular vein than portal vein, and apigenin glucuronide actually displayed a significantly lower concentration in jugular vein (<1 nM) than portal vein (≈4 nM). A direct portal infusion of four flavonoid glucuronides (5.9-10.4 μM perfused at 2 mL/h) showed that the vast majority (>65%) of the glucuronides (except for biochanin A glucuronide) administered were efficiently excreted into the bile. CONCLUSION Direct biliary excretion of extrahepatically generated flavonoid glucuronides is a highly efficient clearance mechanism, which should enable enterohepatic recycling of flavonoids without hepatic conjugating enzymes.

Abstract
Luteolin is a well-known flavonoid with various pharmacological properties but has low bioavailability due to glucuronidation. This study investigated the time-course of luteolin glucuronidation by 12 human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) and its intestinal first-pass metabolism in mice. Six metabolites, including two novel abundant diglucuronides [3',7-O-diglucuronide (diG) and 4',7-diG] and four known ones, were identified. UGT1A6 and UGT1A9 generated almost only monoglucuronides (G's). The production of 3',7-diG followed a sequential time-dependent process along with decrease of 3'-G mainly by UGT1A1, indicating that 3',7-diG was produced from 3'-G. Metabolism in mice intestine differed from that in humans. Probenecid, a nonspecific UGT inhibitor, did not affect absorption but significantly inhibited production of 7-, 4'-, and 3'-G, and enhanced the formation of another novel metabolite, 5-G, in mice. In conclusion, diglucuronide formation is time-dependent and isoform-specific. UGT1A1 preferentially generates diG, whereas UGT1A6 and UGT1A9 share a preference for G production.
