Abstract
For the last few decades, while significant improvements have been achieved in cancer therapy, this family of diseases is still considered one of the deadliest threats to human health. Thus, there is an urgent need to find novel strategies in order to tackle this vital medical issue. One of the most pivotal causes of cancer initiation is the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) inside the body. Interestingly, on the other hand, high doses of ROS possess the capability to damage malignant cells. Moreover, several important intracellular mechanisms occur during the production of ROS. For these reasons, inducing ROS inside the biological system by utilizing external physical or chemical methods is a promising approach to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Beside conventional technologies, cold atmospheric plasmas are now receiving much attention as an emerging therapeutic tool for cancer treatment due to their unique biophysical behavior, including the ability to generate considerable amounts of ROS. This review summarizes the important mechanisms of ROS generated by chemical, physical, and plasma approaches. We also emphasize the biological effects and cancer inhibition capabilities of ROS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In regulatory toxicological testing, both a rodent and non-rodent species are required. Historically, dogs and non-human primates (NHP) have been the species of choice of the non-rodent portion of testing. The pig is an appropriate option for these tests based on metabolic pathways utilized in xenobiotic biotransformation. AREAS COVERED This review focuses on the Phase I and Phase II biotransformation pathways in humans and pigs and highlights the similarities and differences of these models. This is a growing field and references are sparse. Numerous breeds of pigs are discussed along with specific breed differences in these enzymes that are known. While much available data are presented, it is grossly incomplete and sometimes contradictory based on methods used. EXPERT OPINION There is no ideal species to use in toxicology. The use of dogs and NHP in xenobiotic testing continues to be the norm. Pigs present a viable and perhaps more reliable model of non-rodent testing.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are important for the metabolism of many drugs. While there is information on their identity and ontogeny in humans and rodents, similar data in sheep are lacking. In the present study, cDNA sequences of several CYP enzymes (CYP2A6, CYP2C19, CYP2D6) were cloned by rapid amplification of cDNA ends. In adult, newborn and fetal sheep the mRNA and protein levels of these CYPs and the regulatory factor, hepatic nuclear factor 4α (HNF4α) were determined in liver samples using real-time PCR and western blotting. The effect of antenatal glucocorticoid on these enzymes was also studied by i.v. infusion of cortisol (0.45 mg h–1; 80 h) to another group of fetuses. The mRNA and protein levels of the CYPs and HNF4α were low or absent in the fetus, followed by increasing levels in the newborn and adult. Fetal cortisol administration significantly increased the mRNA and protein levels of CYP2D6. Moreover, the correlation observed between the CYP and HNF4α mRNA levels suggests a possible regulatory role for this transcription factor. The findings suggest that fetal and newborn lambs have a low ability to metabolise drugs that are substrates of these enzymes, and that this ability increases with advancing postnatal age, similar to the situation in humans.

Abstract
Coumarin and warfarin, two substances which are intensively metabolized in animals and humans, were tested for teratogenicity and embryo lethality in a 3-day in vitro assay using zebrafish embryos. Warfarin is a coumarin derivative, but in contrast to the mother substance warfarin has anticoagulant properties. Both substances produced teratogenic and lethal effects in zebrafish embryos. The LC(50) and EC(50) values for coumarin are 855 μM and 314 μM, respectively; the corresponding values for warfarin are 988 μM and 194 μM. For coumarin, three main or fingerprint endpoints (malformation of head, tail and growth retardation) were identified, whereas malformation of tail was the only fingerprint endpoint of warfarin. The analysis of the ratios between the zebrafish embryo effect concentrations of both substances and human therapeutic plasma concentrations confirmed the teratogenic potential of warfarin, as well as the equivocal status of coumarin.

Abstract
1. The effect of flavonoids on coumarin 7-hydroxylation, an activity marker of an important human liver cytochrome P450 isoform, cytochrome P450 2A6 (CYP2A6), was investigated in this study. 2. Coumarin 7-hydroxylase activity was measured fluorometrically in reaction mixtures containing cDNA-expressed CYP2A6, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate generating system and 10 uM coumarin, at various concentrations of flavonoids. 3. Among the 23 compounds tested, most of the active members were from flavonol group of hydroxylated flavonoids, with myricetin being the most potent inhibitor followed by quercetin, galangin, and kaempferol. 4. Further exploration of the inhibition mechanism of these compounds revealed that myricetin, galangin, and kaempferol exhibited mixed-type of inhibition pattern while quercetin was observed to exhibit competitive mode of inhibition. 5. Structure-function analyses revealed that degree of inhibition was closely related to the number and location of hydroxyl groups, glycosylation of the free hydroxyl groups, degree of saturation of the flavane nucleus as well as the presence of the alkoxylated function.

Abstract
A combination of 3D-QSAR, docking, local-binding energy (LBE) and GRID methods was applied as a tool to study and predict the mechanism of action of 100 carcinogenic benzene derivatives. Two 3D-QSAR models were obtained: (i) model of mouse carcinogenicity on the basis of 100 chemicals (model 1) and (ii) model of the differences in mouse and rat carcinogenicity on the basis of 73 compounds (model 2). 3D-QSAR regression maps indicated the important differences in species carcinogenicity, and the molecular positions associated with them. In order to evaluate the role of P450 metabolic process in carcinogenicity, the following approaches were used. The 3D models of CYP2E1 for mouse and rat were built up. A docking study was applied and the important ligand-protein residues interactions and oxidation positions of the molecules were identified. A new approach for quantitative assessment of metabolism pathways was developed, which enabled us to describe the species differences in CYP2E1 metabolism, and how it can be related to differences in the carcinogenic potential for a subset of compounds. The binding energies of the important substituents (local-binding energy-LBE) were calculated, in order to quantitatively demonstrate the contribution of the substituents in metabolic processes. Furthermore, a computational procedure was used for determining energetically favourable binding sites (GRID examination) of the enzymes. The GRID procedure allowed the identification of some important differences, related to species metabolism in CYP2E1. Comparing GRID, 3D-QSAR maps and LBE results, a similarity was identified, indicating a relationship between P450 metabolic processes and the differences in the carcinogenicity.

Abstract
CYP2A enzymes are responsible for nicotine metabolism and for activating tobacco-related carcinogens. Inhibition of CYP2A is a promising approach in chemoprevention, which could lead to a decrease in cigarette consumption and to a reduction in tobacco-related cancer risk. 8-Methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) is a mechanism-based inhibitor of human CYP2A6 and CYP2A13. 8-MOP is also an inhibitor of Cyp2a5, but the mode of this inhibition is unknown. There is no published data on the inhibition of CYP2A3 by 8-MOP. The objective of this work was to investigate the characteristics of 8-MOP inhibition on mouse hepatic Cyp2a5 and rat nasal CYP2A3, in order to determine the best experimental model for chemoprevention studies using 8-MOP. The results show that 8-MOP inhibits CYP2a5 through three different mechanisms: competitive, non-competitive (K(iu)=1.7 microM), and mechanism-based (K(inactivation) of 0.17 min(-1)). By contrast, 8-MOP was able to inhibit CYP2A3-mediated coumarin 7-hydroxylase only in a non-competitive way (K(iu)=0.22 microM). In conclusion, we showed that 8-MOP inhibits Cyp2a5 and CYP2A3 through different mechanisms.

Abstract
One major challenge in drug development is defining of the optimal animal species to serve as a model of metabolism in man. The study compared the hepatic drug metabolism characteristics of humans and six widely used experimental animal species. Classical in vitro model enzyme assays with known human cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme selectivity were employed and optimized to target human hepatic CYP forms. The profile of CYP activities best resembling the human was seen in mouse followed by monkey, minipig, and dog liver microsomes, with rats displaying the most divergent. The widest interindividual variability was found in CYP3A-mediated midazolam -hydroxylase, and omeprazole sulphoxidase activities in human and monkey liver microsomes. These data demonstrate that if hepatic xenobiotic-metabolizing characteristics were to be the sole reason for the selection of animal species for toxicity studies, then the rat might not be the most appropriate model to mimic human CYP activity patterns.

Abstract
This review gives a brief overview over the major aspects of application of the nicotine alkaloid and its close derivatives in the therapy of some neurodegenerative disorders and diseases (e.g. Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Tourette's syndrome, schizophrenia etc.). The issues concerning methods of nicotine analysis and isolation, and some molecular aspects of nicotine pharmacology are included. The natural and synthetic analogues of nicotine that are considered for medical practice are also mentioned. The molecular properties of two naturally occurring nicotine enantiomers are compared--the less-common but less-toxic (R)-nicotine is suggested as a natural compound that may find its place in pharmaceutical practice.

Abstract
Animal models are commonly used in the preclinical development of new drugs to predict the metabolic behaviour of new compounds in humans. It is, however, important to realise that humans differ from animals with regards to isoform composition, expression and catalytic activities of drug-metabolising enzymes. In this review the authors describe similarities and differences in this respect among the different species, including man. This may be helpful for drug researchers to choose the most relevant animal species in which the metabolism of a compound can be studied for extrapolating the results to humans. The authors focus on CYPs, which are the main enzymes involved in numerous oxidative reactions and often play a critical role in the metabolism and pharmacokinetics of xenobiotics. In addition, induction and inhibition of CYPs are compared among species. The authors conclude that CYP2E1 shows no large differences between species, and extrapolation between species appears to hold quite well. In contrast, the species-specific isoforms of CYP1A, -2C, -2D and -3A show appreciable interspecies differences in terms of catalytic activity and some caution should be applied when extrapolating metabolism data from animal models to humans.

Abstract
The oxidative metabolism of coumarin via several human cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes from families CYP1, CYP2 and CYP3 is rationalized in terms of molecular modelling studies carried out on the key interactions with various amino acid residues in the relevant active sites. The findings from modelling by homology with the CYP2C5 crystallographic template are in agreement with the known metabolism of coumarin in human P450s from the CYP1, CYP2 and CYP3 families, which has been published recently, and with independently reported information from site-directed mutagenesis studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the plasma pharmacokinetics and synovial fluid concentrations after oral administration of single and multiple doses of celecoxib in Greyhounds. ANIMALS 7 adult Greyhounds. PROCEDURES Dogs received celecoxib (median dose, 11.8 mg/kg [range, 11.5 to 13.6 mg/kg], PO, q 24 h) for 10 days. Blood samples were collected prior to administration of celecoxib and serially for 24 hours after the 1st and 10th doses were administered. A synovial joint catheter was placed into a stifle joint in each dog for collection of synovial fluid samples. Concentrations of celecoxib in plasma and synovial fluid were quantified by use of a validated liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry method. Identification of hydroxy- and carboxyl-celecoxib in plasma and synovial fluid was also performed. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined by use of noncompartmental analysis. RESULTS Administration of multiple doses of celecoxib resulted in a significant decrease (40%) in median area under the curve (AUC) values and a corresponding decrease in median maximum concentrations (Cmax; 2,620 to 2,032 ng/mL) between the 1st and 10th doses. Synovial fluid concentrations were less than the corresponding plasma concentrations at all times except 24 hours after administration of the 10th dose of celecoxib. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Celecoxib distributes into the synovial fluid of Greyhounds. Although the exact mechanism for the decreases in AUC and Cmax is not known, results suggested that the plasma pharmacokinetics of celecoxib are different after administration of multiple doses in Greyhounds. These findings warrant further investigation on the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination of celecoxib in Greyhounds and other breeds of dogs.

Abstract
CYP2A6 in man catalyzes the oxidation of nicotine-forming cotinine and 7-hydroxylation of coumarin, which is used as test substrate for CYP2A6 in man. Large interindividual differences are found in man and some are due to genetic polymorphism. The 7-hydroxylation of coumarin is present in pigs, and an inter-individual variation has been found that might be due to polymorphisms. To enable the finding of polymorphism in pigs, the minipig cDNA was sequenced. Two cDNAs were found and translated to a 494 and a 487 amino acid long protein, both cDNAs were found in all but one pig. The 494 a.a. protein showed high homology to the human and 100% homology to the conventional pig CYP2A19 protein. In the wild type protein, all 6 substrate recognition sites were found, whereas the short protein only contained the first 5 substrate recognition sites. SSCP analysis revealed 3 polymorphisms. In order to study the effect of these polymorphisms on enzyme activity, microsomes were incubated with nicotine and coumarin. The polymorphisms appeared to have no effect on either enzyme activity as the specific enzyme activity towards nicotine and coumarin were approximately the same for all pigs. The specificity of pig CYP2A was investigated and it was found that the formation of cotinine correlated with the immunochemical level of CYP2A as did the coumarin hydroxylation. Anti-human CYP2A inhibitory antibody inhibited coumarin 7-hydroxylation by about 90% and formation of cotinine by 44--60% and 85--100% at substrate concentrations of 500 microM and 50 microM respectively, showing that coumarin and nicotine (50 microM) are very specific substrates for CYP2A in pigs, whereas the CYP2A only is responsible for about 50% of the cotinine formation at a 500 microM nicotine incubation concentration. These results show that the large interindividual differences in porcine CYP2A activity are not caused by polymorphisms but transcriptional regulation and the coumarin 7-hydroxylation is as specific a reaction for porcine CYP2A as for human CYP2A6.

Abstract
Chloracetanilide herbicides are multisite carcinogens in rodents. Progression of alachlor-induced olfactory tumors in rats is accompanied by cytoplasmic accumulation and nuclear localization of beta-catenin, suggesting activation of Wint signaling. Female CD-1 mice were resistant to alachlor-induced olfactory carcinogenesis. The current studies were performed to determine whether Apc(Min/+) mice, which have activated Wnt signaling due to mutation of the second allele of Apc, would be susceptible to alachlor olfactory carcinogenesis. Female and male Apc(Min/+) mice, as well as Apc(+/+) littermates received alachlor in the diet (260 mg/kg/d) for up to 3 months. Female A/J and C57BL/6J wild-type mice were also treated (for 10 and 14 months, respectively), as these strains vary in sensitivity to many respiratory tract insults. No olfactory mucosal tumors were observed in any of the mice, although alachlor-treated Apc(Min/+) mice developed histological changes similar to those in alachlor-treated rats. Alachlor-treated A/J mice developed pronounced intracellular accumulation of amorphous eosinophilic material in the olfactory mucosa, foci of respiratory-like metaplasia,and hyperplasia of nasal mucus glands. A similar but less intense response was seen in C57BL/6J mice. Mice and rats had equivalent levels of the putative bioactivating enzyme (CYP2A) in olfactory mucosa. and mice had induced hepatic CYP3A and CYP2B enzymes with alachlor treatment, which may increase alachlor elimination. These studies extend previous observations by describing alachlor-induced olfactory mucosal changes in mice and suggest that hepatic metabolic enzyme induction may be responsible for resistance of mice to alachlor-induced olfactory carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) within substrates, inducers and inhibitors of cytochromes P450 involved in xenobiotic metabolism are reported, together with QSARs associated with induction, inhibition and metabolic rate. The importance of frontier orbitals and shape descriptors, such as planarity (estimated by the area/depth(2) parameter) and rectangularity (estimated by the length/width parameter) is discussed, particularly in the context of the COMPACT system which discriminates between several P450 families associated with the activation and detoxication of xenobiotics. The use of parameters, particularly those derived from homology modelling of mammalian (especially human) P450s that are involved in exogenous metabolism, in generating QSARs for P450 substrates is discussed in the context of explaining differences in the binding affinities of human P450 substrates which are pharmacologically active.

Abstract
1. A rapid 96-well plate assay method was developed and validated to measure liver microsomal coumarin 7-hydroxylation in vitro. 2. The method was used to test inhibition of human and mouse CYP2A enzymes by three phenylethylamine derivatives 2-(p-tolyl)-ethylamine, amphetamine, 2-phenylethylamine and benzaldehyde, and two of its derivatives, 4-methylbenzaldehyde and 4-methoxybenzaldehyde. 3. The benzaldehyde derivatives were more potent inhibitors of CYP2A5 than the phenylethylamines. The K(ic) value of 4-methylbenzaldehyde was 3.4 micro M and for 4-methoxybenzaldehyde it was 0.86 micro M for CYP2A5. 4. Amphetamine is a weak inhibitor of CYP2A6, whereas benzaldehyde is a suicide inhibitor with K(inact) = 0.16 min(-1) and K(I) = 18 micro M. The K(ic) values of 2-phenylethylamine, 2-(p-tolyl)-ethylamine, 4-methylbenzaldehyde and 4-methoxybenzaldehyde were 1.13, 0.23, 0.36 and 0.73 micro M for CYP2A6, respectively. 5. Novel potent inhibitors were found for CYP2A6 and, except for 4-methoxybenzaldehyde, all the compounds inhibited CYP2A5 and CYP2A6 enzymes differentially. These data add to the refinement of CYP2A enzyme active sites and provide chemical leads for developing novel chemical inhibitors of the CYP2A6 enzyme.

Abstract
The results of homology modelling of the human P450 enzyme CYP2A6, based on the CYP2C5 crystallographic template structure are reported. A substantial number of selective substrates of the CYP2A6 enzyme fit the putative active site in a manner that is consistent with their known metabolites. Moreover, the evidence from site-directed mutagenesis experiments is in accordance with the current model, particularly in relation to complementary amino acid contacts within the haem environment. The binding of substrates is rationalized in terms of QSAR analyses and from a consideration of the contributory factors affecting the binding affinity. The latter approach appears to represent a highly correlated (R=0.99) method for estimating the relative strength of enzyme-substrate binding within CYP2A6-selective compounds, albeit within a fairly limited dataset of substrates.
