Extensive Metabolism

Copalic (CA) and kaurenoic (KA) acids are the main diterpenes found in the oleoresin extracted from the copaiba tree (Copaifera sp). This study aimed to characterize the metabolism of CA and KA in rat and human liver microsomes using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The in vitro assays showed deviations from the Michaelian kinetics in the metabolism of CA and KA. Putative metabolites of CA and KA were characterized by LC-MS/MS using electrospray ionization (ESI) with time of flight (LC-ESI-TOF) and ion-trap (LC-ESI-IT) systems and identified as a CA isomer and 16,17-dihydroxy-kaurenoic acid, respectively. CA and KA are subject to extensive metabolism with each passage through the liver with extraction ratios (E) estimated as 0.97 and 0.99, respectively. In conclusion, the kinetic parameters and metabolites described here might support drug development and the traditional use.

Inhibition Potencies

Eudesmin, fargesin, epimagnolin A, magnolin, and yangambin are tetrahydrofurofuranoid lignans with various pharmacological activities found in Magnoliae Flos. The inhibition potencies of eudesmin, fargesin, epimagnolin A, magnolin, and yangambin on six major human uridine 5′-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) activities in human liver microsomes were evaluated using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry and cocktail substrates. Eudesmin, fargesin, epimagnolin A, magnolin, and yangambin inhibited UGT1A1 and UGT1A3 activities, but showed negligible inhibition of UGT1A4, UGT16, UGT1A9, and UGT2B7 activities at 200 μM in pooled human liver microsomes. Moreover, eudesmin, fargesin, epimagnolin A, magnolin, and yangambin noncompetitively inhibited UGT1A1-catalyzed SN38 glucuronidation with Ki values of 25.7, 25.3, 3.6, 26.0, and 17.1 μM, respectively, based on kinetic analysis of UGT1A1 inhibition in pooled human liver microsomes. Conversely, the aforementioned tetrahydrofurofuranoid lignans competitively inhibited UGT1A3-catalyzed chenodeoxycholic acid 24-acyl-glucuronidation with 39.8, 24.3, 15.1, 37.6, and 66.8 μM, respectively in pooled human liver microsomes. These in vitro results suggest the necessity of evaluating whether the five tetrahydrofurofuranoid lignans can cause drug–drug interactions with UGT1A1 and UGT1A3 substrates in vivo.

DN203368 ((E)-3-[1-(4-[4-isopropylpiperazine-1-yl]phenyl) 3-methyl-2-phenylbut-1-en-1-yl] phenol) is a 4-hydroxy tamoxifen analog that is a dual inverse agonist of estrogen-related receptor β/γ (ERRβ/γ). ERRγ is an orphan nuclear receptor that plays an important role in development and homeostasis and holds potential as a novel therapeutic target in metabolic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, obesity, and cancer. ERRβ is also one of the orphan nuclear receptors critical for many biological processes, such as development. We investigated the in vitro metabolism of DN203368 by conventional and metabolomic approaches using high-resolution mass spectrometry. The compound (100 μM) was incubated with rat and human liver microsomes in the presence of NADPH. In the metabolomic approach, the m/z value and retention time information obtained from the sample and heat-inactivated control group were statistically evaluated using principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis. Significant features responsible for group separation were then identified using tandem mass spectra. Seven metabolites of DN203368 were identified in rat liver microsomes and the metabolic pathways include hydroxylation (M1-3), N-oxidation (M4), N-deisopropylation (M5), N,N-dealkylation (M6), and oxidation and dehydrogenation (M7). Only five metabolites (M2, M3, and M5-M7) were detected in human liver microsomes. In the conventional approach using extracted ion monitoring for values of mass increase or decrease by known metabolic reactions, only five metabolites (M1-M5) were found in rat liver microsomes, whereas three metabolites (M2, M3, and M5) were found in human liver microsomes. This study revealed that nontargeted metabolomics combined with high-resolution mass spectrometry and multivariate analysis could be a more efficient tool for drug metabolite identification than the conventional approach. These results might also be useful for understanding the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of DN203368 in animals and humans.
