The metabolism of coumarin and 4-methylcoumarin by rat-liver microsomes has been studied. The major metabolites of coumarin in vitro, viz. 3- and 7-hydroxycoumarin, o-hydroxyphenyllactic acid, and o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, were identified by thin-layer chromatography, and ultraviolet and fluorescence spectroscopy. Metabolites derived from 4-methylcoumarin in vitro have shown similar chromatographic and spectral characteristics as those of coumarin, suggesting that they are the methyl analogues of corresponding coumarin metabolites.

Abstract. After incubation of 1,3,5(10),16-oestratetraenol, a 16-dehydrosteroid, with rat liver microsomes, 16α,17α-epoxy-oestratrienol was isolated as metabolite. The compound was detected by the use of mass fragmentography after purification of the incubation extract by thin-layer chromatography. Since the epoxide is rapidly hydrolysed by a hepatic epoxide hydratase, only very small concentrations of this metabolite were present in the incubation extract. When styrene oxide was added to the incubation mixture as inhibitor of the epoxide hydratase, the yield of the steroid epoxide increased considerably. Final identification of the oestrogen epoxide was performed by recording mass spectra and by comparison with authentic reference material.

Several porphyrinogenic xenobiotics elicit mechanism-based inactivation of cytochrome P450 (CYP) isozymes, leading to the formation of N-alkylprotoporphyrin IX (N-alkylPP), a potent inhibitor of ferrochelatase, the terminal enzyme in heme biosynthesis. Recognizing their role in experimental porphyria, our long term objective is the establishment of an appropriate in vitro system for the detection and quantification of N-alkylPPs, formed in human liver after the administration of potential porphyrinogenic compounds. In a previous study, we used a combination of thin-layer chromatography and UV-visible spectrophotometry to isolate and identify N-alkylPPs after incubating porphyrinogenic compounds with rat liver microsomes. However, the overall yield of N-alkylPPs was low, and it was concluded that in vitro systems, such as human lymphoblastoid microsomal preparations containing single cDNA-expressed human cytochrome P450 (CYP) isozymes, do not contain sufficient CYP for in vitro studies designed to isolate N-alkylPP. In the present study we demonstrate that purified recombinant human ferrochelatase (FC) provides an extremely sensitive bioassay system for N-alkylPPs and is capable of detecting N-alkylPP in the 10-6nmol range. Therefore, we propose that this bioassay system might allow the use of human lymphoblastoid microsomal preparations containing single cDNA-expressed human CYP isozymes to detect N-alkylPP produced after mechanism-based (catalysis-based) CYP inactivation. If this is found to be correct it will facilitate identification of potentially porphyrinogenic drugs prior to administration to humans.Key words: ferrochelatase, N-alkylprotoporphyrin IX, porphyria, mechanism-based inactivation.

Holoptelea integrifolia Roxb. Planch (HI) has been used to treat various ailments including obesity, osteoarthritis, arthritis, inflammation, anemia, diabetes etc. To review the major phytochemicals and medicinal properties of HI, exhaustive bibliographic research was designed by means of various scientific search engines and databases. Only 12 phytochemicals have been reported including biologically active compounds like betulin, betulinic acid, epifriedlin, octacosanol, Friedlin, Holoptelin-A and Holoptelin-B. Analytical methods including the Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC), High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC), High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Liquid Chromatography With Mass Spectral (LC-MS) analysis have been used to analyze the HI. From medicinal potency point of view, these phytochemicals have a wide range of pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor. In the current review, it has been noticed that the mechanism of action of HI with biomolecules has not been fully explored. Pharmacology and toxicological studies are very few. This seems a huge literature gap to be fulfilled through the detailed in-vivo and in-vitro studies.

Camptothecin Analogues

Background: E2 (Camptothecin - 20 (S) - O- glycine - deoxycholic acid), and G2 (Camptothecin - 20 (S) - O - acetate - deoxycholic acid) are two novel bile acid-derived camptothecin analogues by introducing deoxycholic acid in 20-position of CPT(camptothecin) with greater anticancer activity and lower systematic toxicity in vivo. Objective: We aimed to investigate the metabolism of E2 and G2 by Rat Liver Microsomes (RLM). Methods: Phase Ⅰ and Phase Ⅱ metabolism of E2 and G2 in rat liver microsomes were performed respectively, and the mixed incubation of phase I and phase Ⅱ metabolism of E2 and G2 was also processed. Metabolites were identified by liquid chromatographic/mass spectrometry. Results: The results showed that phase I metabolism was the major biotransformation route for both E2 and G2. The isoenzyme involved in their metabolism had some difference. The intrinsic clearance of G2 was 174.7mL/min. mg protein, more than three times of that of E2 (51.3 mL/min . mg protein), indicating a greater metabolism stability of E2. 10 metabolites of E2 and 14 metabolites of G2 were detected, including phase I metabolites (mainly via hydroxylations and hydrolysis) and their further glucuronidation products. Conclusion: These findings suggested that E2 and G2 have similar biotransformation pathways except some difference in the hydrolysis ability of the ester bond and amino bond from the parent compounds, which may result in the diversity of their metabolism stability and responsible CYPs(Cytochrome P450 proteins).
