Abstract
Gene circuits allow cells to carry out complex functions such as the precise regulation of biological metabolic processes. In this study, we combined, in the yeast S. cerevisiae, genetic regulatory elements with the enzymatic reactions of the human CYP2C9 and its redox partner CPR on luciferin substrates and diclofenac. S. cerevisiae cells were permeabilized and used as enzyme bags in order to host these metabolic reactions. We engineered three different (genetic)-enzymatic basic Boolean gates (YES, NOT, and N-IMPLY). In the YES and N-IMPLY gates, human CYP2C9 was expressed under the galactose-inducible GAL1 promoter. The carbon monoxide releasing molecule CORM-401 was used as an input in the NOT and N-IMPLY gates to impair CYP2C9 activity through inhibition of the Fe+2- heme prosthetic group in the active site of the human enzyme. Our study provides a new approach in designing synthetic bio-circuits and optimizing experimental conditions to favor the heterologous expression of human drug metabolic enzymes over their endogenous counterparts. This new approach will help study precise metabolic attributes of human P450s.

Abstract
Data are presented on the formation of potentially toxic metabolites of drugs that are substrates of human drug metabolizing enzymes. The tabular data lists the formation of potentially toxic/reactive products. The data were obtained from in vitro experiments and showed that the oxidative reactions predominate (with 96% of the total potential toxication reactions). Reductive reactions (e.g., reduction of nitro to amino group and reductive dehalogenation) participate to the extent of 4%. Of the enzymes, cytochrome P450 (P450, CYP) enzymes catalyzed 72% of the reactions, myeloperoxidase (MPO) 7%, flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO) 3%, aldehyde oxidase (AOX) 4%, sulfotransferase (SULT) 5%, and a group of minor participating enzymes to the extent of 9%. Within the P450 Superfamily, P450 Subfamily 3A (P450 3A4 and 3A5) participates to the extent of 27% and the Subfamily 2C (P450 2C9 and P450 2C19) to the extent of 16%, together catalyzing 43% of the reactions, followed by P450 Subfamily 1A (P450 1A1 and P450 1A2) with 15%. The P450 2D6 enzyme participated in an extent of 8%, P450 2E1 in 10%, and P450 2B6 in 6% of the reactions. All other enzymes participate to the extent of 14%. The data show that, of the human enzymes analyzed, P450 enzymes were dominant in catalyzing potential toxication reactions of drugs and their metabolites, with the major role assigned to the P450 Subfamily 3A and significant participation of the P450 Subfamilies 2C and 1A, plus the 2D6, 2E1 and 2B6 enzymes contributing. Selected examples of drugs that are activated or proposed to form toxic species are discussed.

Abstract
This is an overview of the metabolic activation of drugs, natural products, physiological compounds, and general chemicals by the catalytic activity of cytochrome P450 enzymes belonging to Families 1-4. The data were collected from > 5152 references. The total number of data entries of reactions catalyzed by P450s Families 1-4 was 7696 of which 1121 (~ 15%) were defined as bioactivation reactions of different degrees. The data were divided into groups of General Chemicals, Drugs, Natural Products, and Physiological Compounds, presented in tabular form. The metabolism and bioactivation of selected examples of each group are discussed. In most of the cases, the metabolites are directly toxic chemicals reacting with cell macromolecules, but in some cases the metabolites formed are not direct toxicants but participate as substrates in succeeding metabolic reactions (e.g., conjugation reactions), the products of which are final toxicants. We identified a high level of activation for three groups of compounds (General Chemicals, Drugs, and Natural Products) yielding activated metabolites and the generally low participation of Physiological Compounds in bioactivation reactions. In the group of General Chemicals, P450 enzymes 1A1, 1A2, and 1B1 dominate in the formation of activated metabolites. Drugs are mostly activated by the enzyme P450 3A4, and Natural Products by P450s 1A2, 2E1, and 3A4. Physiological Compounds showed no clearly dominant enzyme, but the highest numbers of activations are attributed to P450 1A, 1B1, and 3A enzymes. The results thus show, perhaps not surprisingly, that Physiological Compounds are infrequent substrates in bioactivation reactions catalyzed by P450 enzyme Families 1-4, with the exception of estrogens and arachidonic acid. The results thus provide information on the enzymes that activate specific groups of chemicals to toxic metabolites.

Abstract
Introduction: Several reports suggest a possible association between polymorphisms in the cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) gene and the risk for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-related adverse gastrointestinal events, including gastrointestinal bleeding. Because findings were controversial, a systematic review and a meta-analysis of eligible studies on this putative association was conducted.Areas covered: The authors have revised the relationship between CYP2C9 polymorphisms and the risk of developing NSAID-related gastrointestinal bleeding, as well as other adverse gastrointestinal events, and performed meta-analyzes. The bias effect and potential sources of heterogeneity between studies was analyzed.Expert opinion: Individuals classified as poor metabolizers after CYP2C9 genotyping (activity scores equal to 0 or 0.5) have an increased risk of developing NSAID-related gastrointestinal adverse events with an odds ratio (OR) = 1.86, (p = 0.004) and the OR for subjects with gastrointestinal bleeding is = 1.90, (p = 0.003). Gene-dose effect for variant CYP2C9 alleles (p = 0.005 for all gastrointestinal adverse events, and p = 0.0001 for bleeding patients) was observed. Also, there is an allele-specific effect in the association: CYP2C9*2 is a poor risk predictor, whereas CYP2C9*3 is a highly significant predictor of gastrointestinal adverse events (p = 0.006) and gastrointestinal bleeding (p = 0.0007).

Abstract
The CYP2C subfamily is of particular importance in the metabolism of drugs, food toxins, and procarcinogens. Like other P450 subfamilies, 2C enzymes share a high sequence identity, but significantly contribute in different ways to hepatic capacity to metabolize drugs. They often metabolize the same substrate to more than one product with different catalytic sites. Because it is challenging to characterize experimentally, much still remains unknown about the reason for why the substrate regioselectivity of these closely related subfamily members is different. Here, we have investigated the structural features of CYP2C8, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19 bound with their shared substrate diclofenac to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism for the substrate regioselectivity of CYP2C subfamily enzymes. The obtained results demonstrate how a sequence divergence for the active site residues causes heterogeneous variations in the secondary structures and in major tunnel selections, and further affects the shape and chemical properties of the substrate-binding site. Structural analysis and free energy calculations showed that the most important determinants of regioselectivity among the CYP2C isoforms are the geometrical features of the active sites, as well as the hydrogen bonds and the hydrophobic interactions, mainly presenting as the various locations of Arg108 and substitutions of Phe205 for Ile205 in CYP2C8. The MM-GB/SA calculations combined with PMF results accord well with the experimental KM values, bridging the gap between the theory and the experimentally observed results of binding affinity differences. The present study provides important insights into the structure-function relationships of CYP2C subfamily enzymes, the knowledge of ligand binding characteristics and key residue contributions could guide future experimental and computational work on the synthesis of drugs with better pharmacokinetic properties so that CYP interactions could be avoided.

Abstract
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are one of the most frequently used pharmaceuticals in animals. In the current study, the biotransformation of five NSAIDs by pig liver microsomes (PLMs) was studied. The pseudo-first-order kinetics mode was obtained for the metabolization of the studied NSAIDs by PLMs in vitro. The metabolites were identified by high performance liquid chromatography with a high-resolution LTQ-Orbitrap mass spectrometry. The hydroxylation of benzene was confirmed to be the dominating metabolic pathway. Finally, the toxicity of the metabolites was predicted by the Estimation Programs Interface Suite software based on quantitative structure-activity relationships. Decreased toxicity was expected for the most metabolites of the studied NSAIDs except flurbiprofen, whose main metabolite exhibited slightly more toxicity. The present study provided a preliminary foundation to understand the metabolites of some NSAIDs and their toxicity, which was of great significance in animal food safety.

Abstract
During the last 10-15 years, cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C8 has emerged as an important drug-metabolizing enzyme. CYP2C8 is highly expressed in human liver and is known to metabolize more than 100 drugs. CYP2C8 substrate drugs include amodiaquine, cerivastatin, dasabuvir, enzalutamide, imatinib, loperamide, montelukast, paclitaxel, pioglitazone, repaglinide, and rosiglitazone, and the number is increasing. Similarly, many drugs have been identified as CYP2C8 inhibitors or inducers. In vivo, already a small dose of gemfibrozil, i.e., 10% of its therapeutic dose, is a strong, irreversible inhibitor of CYP2C8. Interestingly, recent findings indicate that the acyl-β-glucuronides of gemfibrozil and clopidogrel cause metabolism-dependent inactivation of CYP2C8, leading to a strong potential for drug interactions. Also several other glucuronide metabolites interact with CYP2C8 as substrates or inhibitors, suggesting that an interplay between CYP2C8 and glucuronides is common. Lack of fully selective and safe probe substrates, inhibitors, and inducers challenges execution and interpretation of drug-drug interaction studies in humans. Apart from drug-drug interactions, some CYP2C8 genetic variants are associated with altered CYP2C8 activity and exhibit significant interethnic frequency differences. Herein, we review the current knowledge on substrates, inhibitors, inducers, and pharmacogenetics of CYP2C8, as well as its role in clinically relevant drug interactions. In addition, implications for selection of CYP2C8 marker and perpetrator drugs to investigate CYP2C8-mediated drug metabolism and interactions in preclinical and clinical studies are discussed.

Abstract
Deoxypodophyllotoxin (DPT) is a natural lignan product which has drawn much attention due to its pharmacological properties including antitumor effect. The purpose of this study was to investigate interspecies differences in metabolism of DPT in hepatic microsomes from human (HLM), cynomolgus monkey (CyLM), rat (RLM), mouse (MLM) and dog (DLM). Incubation of DPT with hepatic microsomes from five species in the presence of NADPH resulted in formation of seven metabolites, five of which were compared with the synthetic standards. M2 was the most abundant metabolite in microsomes from all species. Rank order of intrinsic clearance for M2 formation was RLM > CyLM > MLM > HLM > DLM. In HLM, sulfaphenazole showed the strongest inhibition effect on M2 formation, but neither ticlopidine nor ketoconazole inhibited M2 formation in HLM. Results from cDNA-expressed human CYP450s experiments showed that clearance of M2 formation was much higher in CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 than that in CYP3A4. Contributions of the three CYP450 isoforms to M2 formation in HLM were estimated using relative activity factor (RAF) method or correction by amount of CYP450 isoforms in HLM. M2 formation in HLM was mainly attributed to CYP2C9, followed by CYP2C19. Involvement of CYP3A4 was minor.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) is primarily responsible for the metabolism of the anti-HIV drug efavirenz (EFV). We set out to explore the molecular basis for CYP2B6 activity toward EFV by examining the metabolism of eight EFV analogues. cDNA-expressed CYP2B6 formed monooxygenated metabolites from EFV analogues containing an intact oxazinone or oxazine ring, but not from analogues with a disrupted ring, suggesting this ring is important for metabolism of EFV by CYP2B6. Subsequent substrate depletion analysis of EFV and EFV analogues found to be CYP2B6 substrates revealed further differences between these CYP2B6 substrates. Compounds that were not found to be CYP2B6 substrates were still able to inhibit CYP2B6 activity toward a known substrate, bupropion, suggesting they do gain access to the CYP2B6 active site. Taken together, these data reveal structural characteristics of EFV, namely, the oxazinone ring, that are critical for CYP2B6 metabolism of compounds with the EFV chemical scaffold.

Abstract
Macaca fascicularis P450 2C20 shares 92% identity with human cytochrome P450 2C8, which is involved in the metabolism of more than 8% of all prescribed drugs. To date, only paclitaxel and amodiaquine, two substrate markers of the human P450 2C8, have been experimentally confirmed as M. fascicularis P450 2C20 drugs. To bridge the lack of information on the ligands recognized by M. fascicularis P450 2C20, in this study, a three-dimensional homology model of this enzyme was generated on the basis of the available crystal structure of the human homologue P450 2C8 using YASARA. The results indicated that 90.0%, 9.0%, 0.5%, and 0.5% of the residues of the P450 2C20 model were located in the most favorable, allowed, generously allowed, and disallowed regions, respectively. The root-mean-square deviation of the C-alpha superposition of the M. fascicularis P450 2C20 model with the Homo sapiens P450 2C8 was 0.074 Å, indicating a very high similarity of the two structures. Subsequently, the 2C20 model was used for in silico screening of 58 known P450 2C8 substrates and 62 inhibitors. These were also docked in the active site of the crystal structure of the human P450 2C8. The affinity of each compound for the active site of both cytochromes proved to be very similar, meaning that the few key residues that are mutated in the active site of the M. fascicularis P450 do not prevent the P450 2C20 from recognizing the same substrates as the human P450 2C8.

Abstract
![]()
Cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s) are
important in drug metabolism
and have been linked to adverse drug reactions. P450s display broad
substrate reactivity, and prediction of metabolites is complex. QM/MM
studies of P450 reactivity have provided insight into important details
of the reaction mechanisms and have the potential to make predictions
of metabolite formation. Here we present a comprehensive study of
the oxidation of three widely used pharmaceutical compounds (S-ibuprofen, diclofenac, and S-warfarin)
by one of the major drug-metabolizing P450 isoforms, CYP2C9. The reaction
barriers to substrate oxidation by the iron-oxo species (Compound
I) have been calculated at the B3LYP-D/CHARMM27 level for different
possible metabolism sites for each drug, on multiple pathways. In
the cases of ibuprofen and warfarin, the process with the lowest activation
energy is consistent with the experimentally preferred metabolite.
For diclofenac, the pathway leading to the experimentally observed
metabolite is not the one with the lowest activation energy. This
apparent inconsistency with experiment might be explained by the two
very different binding modes involved in oxidation at the two competing
positions. The carboxylate of diclofenac interacts strongly with the
CYP2C9 Arg108 side chain in the transition state for formation of
the observed metabolite—but not in that for the competing pathway.
We compare reaction barriers calculated both in the presence and in
the absence of the protein and observe a marked improvement in selectivity
prediction ability upon inclusion of the protein for all of the substrates
studied. The barriers calculated with the protein are generally higher
than those calculated in the gas phase. This suggests that active-site
residues surrounding the substrate play an important role in controlling
selectivity in CYP2C9. The results show that inclusion of sampling
(particularly) and dispersion effects is important in making accurate
predictions of drug metabolism selectivity of P450s using QM/MM methods.

Abstract
1. To date, no information has been available on the modulation of cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) following the administration of a hyperlipidemic diet in pigs. 2. We investigated the potential modulation of xenobiotic-metabolizing CYPs in liver, heart and duodenum of pigs subjected to a high-fat/high-cholesterol diet for 2 months continuously (C-HFD) or on alternate weeks (A-HFD). 3. The administration of the high-fat diet resulted in considerably increased plasma cholesterol levels although the animals were still able to manage the lipid overload efficiently, and no sign of effective tissue inflammation occurred in livers. Plasma lipid profile and liver histology indicated a better adaptive response of the A-HFD pigs compared to the C-HFD group. We showed a post-transcriptional induction of hepatic CYP2E1 activity in C-HFD pigs and a transcriptional induction of hepatic CYP3As - especially in the A-HFD group. No further CYP modulation was observed in either liver or extra-hepatic tissues. 4. In conclusion, the administration of a high-fat diet in pigs resulted in limited effects on the drug metabolism system. The better adaptive response of A-HFD pigs compared to C-HFD pigs is a very interesting observation since the intermittent administration of the diet reflects the mode of human behavior more closely.

Abstract
Drug metabolism in human liver is a process involving many different enzymes. Among them, a number of cytochromes P450 isoforms catalyze the oxidation of most of the drugs commercially available. Each P450 isoform acts on more than one drug, and one drug may be oxidized by more than one enzyme. As a result, multiple products may be obtained from the same drug, and as the metabolites can be biologically active and may cause adverse drug reactions (ADRs), the metabolic profile of a new drug has to be known before this can be commercialized. Therefore, the metabolites of a certain drug must be identified, synthesized and tested for toxicity. Their synthesis must be in sufficient quantities to be used for metabolic tests. This review focuses on the progresses done in the field of the optimization of a bacterial self-sufficient and efficient cytochrome P450, P450 BM3 from Bacillus megaterium, used for the production of metabolites of human enzymes. The progress made in the improvement of its catalytic performance towards drugs, the substitution of the costly NADPH cofactor and its immobilization and scale-up of the process for industrial application are reported.

Abstract
Numerous publications have documented that the immortal cells grown in three-dimensional (3D) cultures possess physiological behavior, which is more reminiscent of their parental organ than when the same cells are cultivated using classical two-dimensional (2D) culture techniques. The goal of this study was to investigate whether this observation could be extended to the determination of LD50 values and whether 3D data could be correlated to in vivo observations. We developed a noninvasive means to estimate the amount of protein present in a 3D spheroid from it is planar area (± 21%) so that a precise dose can be provided in a manner similar to in vivo studies. This avoided correction of the actual dose given based on a protein determination after treatment (when some cells may have lysed). Conversion of published in vitro LC50 data (mM) for six common drugs (acetaminophen, amiodarone, diclofenac, metformin, phenformin, and valproic acid) to LD50 data (mg compound/mg cellular protein) showed that the variation in LD50 values was generally less than that suggested by the original LC50 data. Toxicological analysis of these six compounds in 3D spheroid culture (either published or presented here) demonstrated similar LD50 values. Although in vitro 2D HepG2 data showed a poor correlation, the primary hepatocyte and 3D spheroid data resulted in a much higher degree of correlation with in vivo lethal blood plasma levels. These results corroborate that 3D hepatocyte cultures are significantly different from 2D cultures and are more representative of the liver in vivo.

Abstract
The soluble, catalytically self-sufficient cytochrome P450 BM3 from Bacillus megaterium is a good candidate as biocatalyst for the synthesis of drug metabolites. To this end, error-prone polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to generate a library of P450 BM3 mutants with novel activities toward drugs. The double mutant Asp251Gly/Gln307His (A2) with activities towards diclofenac, ibuprofen and tolbutamide was identified by screening with the alkali method. This is based on the detection of NADPH oxidation during enzymatic turnover on whole Escherichia coli cells heterologously expressing the P450 BM3 mutants in the presence of the target substrates. The three drugs screened are marker substrates of human liver cytochromes P450 belonging to the 2C subfamily. Interestingly the mutations Asp251Gly/Gln307His are located on the protein surface and they are not directly involved in substrate binding and turnover. Dissociation constants and K(M) values of mutant A2 for diclofenac, ibuprofen and tolbutamide are in the micromolar range. Catalysis leads to hydroxylations in specific positions, producing 4'-hydroxydiclofenac, 2-hydroxyibuprofen and 4-hydroxytolbutamide, respectively.

Abstract
In this study, the expression and inducibility of CYP2C33, CYP2C42, CYP2C49, CYP2B22, CYP3A22, CYP3A29, and CYP3A46 were investigated at activity and/or transcriptional level in liver, kidney, small intestine, respiratory, and olfactory nasal mucosa of control and phenobarbital (PB)-treated pigs. PB treatment resulted in an up-regulation of mRNA levels of all analyzed CYPs in liver, of CYP2C42 and CYP2C49 in kidney, of CYP2C42, CYP2C49, CYP2B22, and CYP3As in small intestine. In liver microsomes from PB-treated pigs, these transcriptional activations were accompanied by an increase of various marker activities of human CYP2B6, CYP3As, CYP2C9, CYP2C19. Among the extrahepatic tissues, a significant induction by PB was observed only in kidney for the marker activities of CYP2C9. Taken together, our results demonstrated that the PB administration in pigs induced at least in liver, in addition to CYP2B22 and CYP3As, the expression of CYP2C33, CYP2C42, and CYP2C49 at transcriptional and activity levels. Furthermore our findings showed that the catalytic activities of porcine CYP2Cs are different amongst those observed and with respect to the human counterparts. Thus, the use of pigs as a model for humans in studies using drugs as substrates and/or inducers of CYP2Cs should be considered carefully.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 mediated metabolism of drugs is one of the major determinants of their kinetic profile, and prediction of this metabolism is therefore highly relevant during the drug discovery and development process. A new rule-based method, based on results from density functional theory calculations, for predicting activation energies for aliphatic and aromatic oxidations by cytochromes P450 is developed and compared with several other methods. Although the applicability of the method is currently limited to a subset of P450 reactions, these reactions describe more than 90 % of the metabolites. The rules employed are relatively few and general, and when combined with solvent-accessible surface area calculations to account for steric accessibility, the method gives a major P450 metabolite as first-ranked position for 75 % of the substrates, and ranked in the top three for 90 % of substrates for a set of 20 substrates. In combination with docking, it can predict isoform-specific metabolism, and we apply this on CYP1A2 with very good results on 81 substrates, for which we find a major metabolite ranked in the top three for 90 % of the substrates (100 % in the training set and 87 % in the larger test set).

Abstract
We have estimated the activation energy for aromatic oxidation by compound I in cytochrome P450 for a diverse set of 17 substrates using state-of-the-art density functional theory (B3LYP) with large basis sets. The activation energies vary from 60 to 87 kJ/mol. We then test if these results can be reproduced by computationally less demanding methods. The best methods (a B3LYP calculation of the activation energy of a methoxy-radical model or a partial least-squares model of the semiempirical AM1 bond dissociation energies and spin densities of the tetrahedral intermediate for both a hydroxyl-cation and a hydroxyl-radical model) give correlations with r(2) of 0.8 and mean absolute deviations of 3 kJ/mol. Finally, we apply these simpler methods on several sets of reactions for which experimental data are available and show that we can predict the reactive sites by combining calculations of the activation energies with the solvent-accessible surface area of each site.

Abstract
Ozonation of diclofenac in aqueous solution in the presence and absence of an *OH scavenger, tertiary butanol (t-BuOH), was studied, and the most important reaction intermediates and products were identified. The second-order O3 rate constantwas determined by competition with buten-3-ol and was found to be 6.8 x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1) at 20 degrees C. From this high rate constant, it has been concluded that O3 must initially add on the amino nitrogen. Decomposition of the adduct results in the formation of O3*- (--> *OH) and aminyl radical precursors. A free *OH yield of 30% was estimated based on the HCHO yields generated upon reaction of *OH with 0.01 M t-BuOH. Almost all diclofenac reacted when the molar ratio of O3/diclofenac was approximately 5:1 in the presence of t-BuOH and approximately 8:1 in its absence. As primary reaction products (maximum yield), diclofenac-2,5-iminoquinone (32%), 5-hydroxydiclofenac (7%), and 2,6-dichloroaniline (19%) were detected with respect to reacted diclofenac in the presence of t-BuOH. These primary products degraded into secondary ones when the O3 dose was increased. In the *OH-mediated reaction (absence of t-BuOH) small yields of 5-hydroxydiclofenac (4.5%), diclofenac-2,5-iminoquinone (2.7%), and 2,6-dichloroaniline (6%) resulted. Practically all Cl- (95%) was released in the absence of t-BuOH but only about 45% in the presence of t-BuOH at an O3/diclofenac molar ratio of 10: 1. Based on the reaction products, mechanisms that may account for the high O3 consumption during ozonation of diclofenac are suggested. For technical applications, adequate supply of O3 is needed not only to eliminate diclofenac, but also for the degradation of its potentially toxic products like diclofenac-2,5-iminoquinone and 5-hydroxydiclofenac.

Abstract
QM/MM calculations provide a means for predicting the electronic structure of the metal center in metalloproteins. Two heme peroxidases, Cytochrome c Peroxidase (CcP) and Ascorbate Peroxidase (APX), have a structurally very similar active site, yet have active intermediates with very different electronic structures. We review our recent QM/MM calculations on these systems, and present new computational data. Our results are in good agreement with experiment, and suggest that the difference in electronic structure is due to a large number of small differences in structure from one protein to another. We also discuss recent QM/MM calculations on the active species of cytochrome P450, in which a similar sensitivity of the electronic structure to the environment is found. However, this does not appear to explain different catalytic profiles of the different drug-metabolizing isoforms of this class of enzyme.

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
Twenty five derivatives of the drugs terfenadine and ebastine have been designed, synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of recombinant human CYP2J2. Compound 14, which has an imidazole substituent, is a good non-competitive inhibitor of CYP2J2 (IC(50)=400nM). It is not selective towards CYP2J2 as it also efficiently inhibits the other main vascular CYPs, such as CYP2B6, 2C8, 2C9 and 3A4; however, it could be an interesting tool to inhibit all these vascular CYPs. Compounds 4, 5 and 13, which have a propyl, allyl and benzo-1,3-dioxole terminal group, respectively, are selective CYP2J2 inhibitors. Compound 4 is a high-affinity, competitive inhibitor and alternative substrate of CYP2J2 (K(i)=160+/-50nM). Compounds 5 and 13 are efficient mechanism-based inhibitors of CYP2J2 (k(inact)/K(i) values approximately 3000Lmol(-1)s(-1)). Inactivation of CYP2J2 by 13 is due to the formation of a stable iron-carbene bond which occurs upon CYP2J2-catalyzed oxidation of 13 with a partition ratio of 18+/-3. These new selective inhibitors should be interesting tools to study the biological roles of CYP2J2.

Abstract
The catalytic efficiency, regioselectivity, and response to chemical inhibitors of diclofenac (DF) hydroxylation in three Old World monkey liver microsomes (rhesus, cynomolgus, and African green monkey) are different from those determined with human liver microsomes. In contrast to the high affinity-high capacity (low Km-high Vmax) characteristics of DF 4'-hydroxylation in humans, this reaction proceeded in all monkey species with catalytic efficiencies >20-fold lower. However, DF 5-hydroxylation, a negligible reaction in human liver microsomes, was kinetically favored in monkeys mainly due to the increased Vmax values. Chemical inhibitors (reversible or mechanism-based) selective to human CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 failed to differentiate monkey orthologs involved in DF hydroxylation. Immunoinhibition studies with monoclonal antibodies against human CYPs revealed the major contribution of CYP2C and CYP3A to 4'- and to 5-hydroxylation, respectively, in rhesus and cynomolgus liver microsomes. However, in African green monkeys, in addition to CYP2C, CYP3A also appeared to be involved in 4'-hydroxylation. Further studies with recombinant rhesus and African green monkey CYP2C and CYP3A enzymes (rhesus CYP2C75, 2C74, and 3A64; African green monkey CYP2C9agm and CYP3A4agm) confirmed the major role of CYP enzymes of these two subfamilies in DF 4'- and 5-hydroxylation. Clearly, while monkey CYP2C and 3A enzymes retain the same substrate selectivity towards DF hydroxylation as their human orthologs, their altered catalytic efficiency and response to chemical inhibitors may indicate different structural features of active sites as opposed to human orthologs.

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
The active site topology, substrate specificity, and biological roles of the human cytochrome P450 CYP2J2, which is mainly expressed in the cardiovascular system, are poorly known even though recent data suggest that it could be a novel biomarker and potential target for therapy of human cancer. This paper reports a first series of high-affinity, selective CYP2J2 inhibitors that are related to terfenadine, with K(i) values as low as 160nM, that should be useful tools to determine the biological roles of CYP2J2.

Abstract
Human cytochromes P450 play a vital role in drug metabolism. The key step in substrate oxidation involves hydrogen atom abstraction or C=C bond addition by the oxygen atom of the Compound I intermediate. The latter has three unpaired electrons, two on the Fe-O center and one shared between the porphyrin ring and the proximal cysteinyl sulfur atom. Changes in its electronic structure have been suggested to affect reactivity. The electronic and geometric structure of Compound I in three important human subfamilies of cytochrome P450 (P450, 2C, 2B, and 3A) that are major contributors to drug metabolism is characterized here using combined quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) calculations at the B3LYP:CHARMM27 level. Compound I is remarkably similar in all isoforms, with the third unpaired electron located mainly on the porphyrin ring, and this prediction is not very sensitive to details of the QM/MM methodology, such as the DFT functional, the basis set, or the size of the QM region. The presence of substrate also has no effect. The main source of variability in spin density on the cysteinyl sulfur (from 26 to 50%) is the details of the system setup, such as the starting protein geometry used for QM/MM minimization. This conformational effect is larger than the differences between human isoforms, which are therefore not distinguishable on electronic grounds, so it is unlikely that observed large differences in substrate selectivity can be explained to a large extent in these terms.

Abstract
AIMS To study the effect of CYP2C8*3, the most common CYP2C8 variant allele on the dis-position of (R)-ibuprofen and the association of CYP2C8*3 with variant CYP2C9 alleles. METHODS Three hundred and fifty-five randomly selected Spanish Caucasians were screened for the common CYP2C8 and CYP2C9 mutations. The pharmacokinetics of (R)-ibuprofen were studied in 25 individuals grouped into different CYP2C8 genotypes. RESULTS The allele frequency of CYP2C8*3 (0.17) was found to be higher than that reported for other Caucasian populations (P = 0.0001). The frequencies of CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 were 0.19 (0.16-0.21) and 0.10 (0.08-0.12), respectively. An association between CYP2C8*3 and CYP2C9*2 alleles was observed, occurring together at a frequency 2.4-fold higher than expected for a random association of alleles (P = 0.0001). The presence of the CYP2C8*3 allele was found to influence the pharmacokinetics of (R)-ibuprofen in a gene-dose effect manner. Thus, after administration of 400 mg ibuprofen, the plasma half-life (95% confidence intervals) for individuals with genotypes CYP2C8*1/*1, CYP2C8*1/*3 and CYP2C8*3/*3, was 2.0 h (1.8-2.2), 4.2 h (1.9-6.5; P < 0.05) and 9.0 h (7.8-10.2; P < 0.002), respectively. A statistically significant trend with respect to the number of variant CYP2C8*3 alleles was also observed for the area under the concentration-time curve (P < 0.025), and drug clearance (P < 0.03). CONCLUSION Polymorphism of the CYP2C8 gene was found to be common, with nearly 30% of the population studied carrying the variant CYP2C8*3 allele. The presence of the latter caused a significant effect on the disposition of (R)-ibuprofen. This suggests that a substantial proportion of Caucasian subjects may show alterations in the disposition of drugs that are CYP2C8 substrates.

Abstract
CYP2C9 is the major human enzyme of the cytochrome P450 2C subfamily and metabolizes approximately 10% of all therapeutically relevant drugs. Two inherited SNPs termed CYP2C9*2 (Arg144Cys) and *3 (Ile359Leu) are known to affect catalytic function. Numerous rare or functionally silent polymorphisms have been identified. About 35% of the Caucasian population carries at least one *2 or *3 allele. CYP2C9 metabolizes several oral hypoglycemics, oral anticoagulants, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and other drugs, including phenytoin, losartan, fluvastatin, and torsemide. In vitro studies with several drugs indicate that the Cys144 (.2) and Leu359 (.3) variants confer only about 70 and 10% of the intrinsic clearance of the wild-type protein (.1), respectively. The clinical pharmacokinetic implications of these polymorphisms vary depending on the enzymes contribution to total oral clearance. Several studies demonstrated that the CYP2C9 polymorphisms are medically important for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, for oral hypoglycemics, vitamin K antagonistic oral anticoagulants, and phenytoin. In particular, CYP2C9 polymorphisms should be routinely considered in therapy with oral anticoagulants where severe adverse events at initiation of therapy might be reduced by genotyping. CYP2C9 polymorphisms were also clinically associated with side effects of phenytoin, with gastric bleeding during therapy with non-steroidals and with hypoglycemia under oral hypoglycemic drugs. Data appear mature enough for the routine consideration of CYP2C9 genotypes in therapy with acenocoumarol, phenytoin, warfarin, and some other drugs. Nevertheless, it is advisable before the routine clinical use of these genotype data to rigorously test the benefits of genotype-based therapeutic recommendations by randomized controlled clinical trials.

Abstract
1. Recombinantly expressed human cytochromes P450 (rhCYPs) have been underused for the prediction of human drug clearance (CL). 2. Differences in intrinsic activity (per unit CYP) between rhCYP and human liver enzymes complicate the issue and these discrepancies have not been investigated systematically. We define intersystem extrapolation factors (ISEFs) that allow the use of rhCYP data for the in vitro-in vivo extrapolation of human drug CL and the variance that is associated with interindividual variation of CYP abundance due to genetic and environmental effects. 3. A large database (n = 451) of metabolic stability data has been compiled and used to derive ISEFs for the most commonly used expression systems and CYP enzymes. 4. Statistical models were constructed for the ISEFs to determine major covariates in order to optimize experimental design to increase prediction accuracy. 5. Suggestions have been made for the conduct of future studies using rhCYP to predict human drug clearance.

Abstract
p-Nitrophenol hydroxylation is widely used as a probe for microsomal CYP2E1. Several drugs are known as CYP2E1 inhibitors because of their capability to inhibit p-nitrophenol hydroxylation. Our results suggest further participation of CYP2A6 and CYP2C19 enzymes in p-nitrophenol hydroxylation. Moreover, CYP2A6 and CYP2C19 may be considered as the primary catalysts, whereas CYP2E1 can also contribute to the hydroxylation of p-nitrophenol. Further aim of our study was to evaluate the selectivity of p-nitrophenol hydroxylase inhibitors towards cytochrome P450 enzymes. The effects of antifungals: bifonazole, econazole, clotrimazole, ketoconazole, miconazole; CNS-active drugs: chlorpromazine, desipramine, fluphenazine, thioridazine; and the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug: diclofenac were investigated on the enzyme activities selective for CYP2A6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2E1 and CYP3A4. None of the drugs could be considered as a potent inhibitor of CYP2E1. Strong inhibition was observed for CYP3A4 by antifungals with IC(50) values in submicromolar range. However, ketoconazole was the only imidazole derivative that could be considered as a selective inhibitor of CYP3A4. The CNS-active drugs investigated were found to be weak inhibitors of CYP2A6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2E1 and CYP3A4. Diclofenac efficiently inhibited CYP2C9 and to a less extent CYP3A4 enzyme.

Abstract
Human cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) is important in the metabolism of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory compounds such as diclofenac, the antidiabetic agent tolbutamide and other clinically important drugs, many of which are weakly acidic. Multiple sequence alignment of CYPs identified CYP2C9 Asp(293) as corresponding to Asp(301) of CYP2D6, which has been suggested to play a role in the binding of basic substrates to the latter enzyme. Replacement of Asp(293) with Ala (D293A) decreased activity by more than 90%, and led to an approx. 3- to 10-fold increase in K (m) values for the three test substrates tolbutamide, dextromethorphan and diclofenac. Conservative replacement of the carboxyl side chain in a Glu (D293E) mutant produced no significant changes in K (m) values and slight increases in k (cat) values. Changes in regiospecificity were observed for both the Ala and Glu substitutions; low levels of both dextromethorphan O- and N-demethylation were observed in the D293A mutant, whereas increased preference for O-demethylation was observed for the D293E mutant. Expression of constructs coding for Asn (D293N) and Gln (D293Q) substitutions failed to form a P450 correctly. Our analysis suggests a structural role for the carboxyl side chain of Asp(293) in CYP2C9 substrate binding and catalysis. The conservation of an Asp residue in other CYP families in a position equivalent to Asp(293) indicates a common mechanism for maintaining the active-site architecture.
