Inhibitory effects of several fluoroquinolones (FQs) on liver CYP3A activities were examined by in vitro and in vivo tests in dogs. Midazolam (MDZ) hydroxylation rate was used to determine the CYP3A activities in liver microsomes. Enrofloxacin (EFX), ofloxacin (OFX) orbifloxacin (OBFX) and ciprofloxacin (CFX) were tested. None of the FQs changed Vmax, Km or intrinsic clearance (Vmax/Km) of MDZ. For in vivo test, we examined the effects of oral administration of EFX and OFX on the pharmacokinetics of quinidine (QN), a CYP3A substrate. EFX or OFX (10 mg/kg) was administered once a day for 3 days. QN (2 mg/kg) was intravenously injected at 2 h after the final dose of FQs administration. The same dose of QN was intravenously injected 3 weeks before the start of FQs administration for control. Neither EFX nor OFX changed the pharmacokinetic parameters of QN. These in vitro and in vivo consisted results suggest that these FQs lack the inhibitory effects on CYP3A activities in dogs. Hence, given these results, the risk of drug-drug interaction is unlikely to occur between FQs and CYP3A substrates in clinical situation in dogs.  相似文献

We examined the effects of ofloxacin (OFX) and norfloxacin (NFX) on theophylline (TP) pharmacokinetics in dogs. OFX, as a noncompetitive and mechanism-based inhibitor, and NFX, as a noncompetitive inhibitor, were orally administered (5 mg/kg) for a single dose or multiple doses (12 hourly for 3 days). TP (5 mg/kg, i.v) was injected at 2 h after the final dose of the fluoroquinolones (FQs). The same dose of TP was injected (i.v) 3 weeks before the start of FQs treatment for control. Multiple doses of OFX significantly reduced the total body clearance (Cl(B)) of TP from 0.117 to 0.085 L/h/kg, although a single dose did not change it. Neither a single dose nor multiple doses of NFX changed the TP pharmacokinetics. Plasma NFX concentrations increased after multiple doses. Those of OFX also increased but were still two orders of magnitude below the K(i) for noncompetitive inhibition of CYP1A in dogs. Time-dependent reduction in Cl(B) of TP suggests that mechanism-based inhibition of OFX was the major mode to decrease Cl(B) of TP. The mechanism-based inhibition may result in substantial inhibition of CYP1A activities in clinical conditions.  相似文献

The pharmacokinetics of enrofloxacin (EFX) and ciprofloxacin (CFX) was investigated in broiler chickens. Each antimicrobial was administered intravenously at a dose of 5 mg/kg body weight. Blood was taken in different preset times: prior and at 0.03, 0.06, 0.13, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h following drug administration. The concentrations of EFX and CFX in plasma were determined by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Plasma concentrations vs. time were analysed by a compartmental independent pharmacokinetic model that provided the most important kinetic parameters. Statistically significant differences between the two antimicrobials were found for most of the pharmacokinetic parameters: Area under the curve (AUC), area under first moment curve (AUMC), mean residence time (MRT), total body cleareance (ClB), volume of distribution beta (Vd beta) and volume of distribution at the steady state (Vd(ss)). Both antimicrobials were widely distributed in chickens throughout the body with a mean Vd(ss) of 1.98+/-0.18 L/kg for EFX, and 4.04+/-0.69 L/kg for CFX. The ClB for CFX was five times higher than that obtained for EFX. AUC, MRT and the diminished half time for EFX were two-four times higher than those obtained for CFX. These results indicate that CFX remains in the body for less time than the other quinolone. This characteristic of CFX suggests the advantage of a shorter withdrawal time for food producing animals treated with this antimicrobial.  相似文献

This study evaluated, for the first time, the selection of antibiotic resistance in fecal Escherichia coli, a potential reservoir of genes of resistance, during the prolonged exposure to fluoroquinolones after the implantation of a local drug delivery system (LDDS) in a swine model. Fourteen pigs were randomly assigned to group IM (5 mg/kg/day of intramuscular enrofloxacin--EFX) or LD (surgical implantation of EFX-polymethyl-methacrylate peri-femoral implants). Blood samples were collected daily for determination of plasma EFX and ciprofloxacin (CFX) concentrations. Fecal samples were collected daily to determine the E. coli counts and the susceptibility patterns of its isolates as evaluated by antibiotic disk diffusion tests. In both groups, EFX administration significantly reduced the bacterial counts after 2 days. During recolonization, the bacterial counts remained lower than baseline in group IM but not significantly, and almost reached pre-treatment levels in group LD. Susceptibility to EFX, CFX, and nalidixic acid of recolonizing E. coli in LD pigs slightly decreased but remained within the limit of "susceptible" isolates. In contrast, quinolone susceptibility of recolonizing E. coli in IM pigs dropped dramatically (P < 0.0001). In addition, intramuscular exposure to fluoroquinolones significantly decreased the susceptibility of E. coli to ampicillin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the use of a dosing regimen that minimized the intestinal output of fluoroquinolones also minimized the selection of resistance to several classes of antibiotics. This could represent another advantage of LDDS usage compared to long-lasting systemic administration of fluoroquinolones.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the inhibitory potency of ketoconazole (KTZ) on the metabolic activities of isozymes of cytochrome P-450 (CYP) in dogs. ANIMALS: 4 healthy 1-year-old male Beagles. PROCEDURE: Hepatic microsomes were harvested from 4 dogs after euthanasia. To investigate the effects of KTZ on CYP metabolic activities, 7-ethoxyresorufin, tolbutamide, bufuralol, and midazolam hydrochloride were used as specific substrates for CYP1A1/2, CYP2C21, CYP2D15, and CYP3A12, respectively. The concentrations of metabolites formed by CYP were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography, except for the resorufin concentrations that were measured by a fluorometric method. The reaction velocity-substrate concentration data were analyzed to obtain kinetic variables, including maximum reaction velocity, Michaelis-Menten constant, and inhibitory constant (Ki). RESULTS: KTZ competitively inhibited 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation and midazolam 4-hydroxylation; it noncompetitively inhibited tolbutamide methylhydroxylation. Bufuralol 1'-hydroxylation was inhibited slightly by KTZ. The mean Ki values of KTZ were 10.6+/-6.0, 170+/-2.5, and 0.180+/-0.131 microM for 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation, tolbutamide methylhydroxylation, and midazolam 4-hydroxylation, respectively. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: In dogs, KTZ at a therapeutic dose may change the pharmacokinetics of CYP3A12 substrates as a result of inhibition of their biotransformation. Furthermore, no influence of KTZ on the pharmacokinetics of CYP1A1/2, CYP2C21, and CYP2D15 substrates are likely. In clinical practice, adverse drug effects may develop when KTZ is administered concomitantly with a drug that is primarily metabolized by CYP3A12.  相似文献

González, C., Moreno, L., Fumuso, E., García, J., Rivulgo, M., Confalonieri, A., Sparo, M., Sanchez Bruni, S. Enrofloxacin‐based therapeutic strategy for the prevention of endometritis in susceptible mares. J. vet. Pharmacol. Therap. 33 , 287–294. Enrofloxacin (EFX) is often used empirically to prevent uterine infections in mares in order to improve efficiency on Commercial Embryo Transfer Farms. This study investigated the uterine distribution of EFX and its metabolite ciprofloxacin (CFX) in mares and assessed the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of EFX against various common pathogens as a basis for establishing a rational dosing schedule. Plasma and uterine pharmacokinetic (PK) studies were performed in two groups (n = 5) of healthy mares following intravenous (i.v.) administration of EFX at either 2.5 and at 5 mg/kg bodyweight. Plasma and endometrial tissue samples, taken before for up to 48 h after treatment were analysed by Reverse Phase HPLC. MIC values for wild strains of Gram‐negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Gram‐positive bacteria (β‐haemolytic streptococci) ranged from 0.25–2 and 1.5–3.0 μg/mL respectively. In terms of tissue distribution, the sum of the endometrial concentrations of the parent drug (EFX) and its active metabolite (CFX) (in terms of AUC), exceeded those in plasma by 249% and 941% following administration of EFX at 2.5 and 5 mg/kg respectively. After i.v. treatment with EFX at 5 mg/kg, endometrial concentrations of EFX and CFX above the MIC value were detected for 36–48 and 22–43 h posttreatment for Gram‐negative and ‐positive isolates respectively. Concentrations above MIC were maintained for much shorter periods at the lower (2.5 mg/kg) treatment dose. Based on these results, a conventional dose (5 mg/kg) of EFX given prebreeding followed by two further doses at 36–48 h postbreeding are proposed as a rational strategy for using of EFX as a preventative therapy against a variety of common bacterial strains associated with equine endometritis.  相似文献

The inhibitory effects of fluoroquinolones on the enzyme activity, protein levels and mRNA expression of liver cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A and 3A were investigated in male broiler chicks. Enrofloxacin (20 mg/kg), sarafloxacin (8 mg/kg) and marbofloxacin (5.5 mg/kg) were administrated in drinking water for 7 consecutive days. A cocktail of the probe drugs caffeine and dapsone was used to determine CYP1A and 3A activity. Western blot analysis and real-time PCR were used to determine the effects on protein levels of CYP1A and 3A, and on CYP1A4, 1A5, 3A37 mRNA levels. Enrofloxacin increased the half-life of elimination for both caffeine and dapsone, and decreased expression of CYP1A and 3A protein. Marbofloxacin decreased the metabolism of caffeine and expression of CYP1A protein. However, no change in mRNA expression was observed for any treatment group. This suggested that high doses of enrofloxacin and marbofloxacin, but not sarafloxacin, inhibit CYP in chick liver raising the possibility of drug-drug interaction when using these compounds.  相似文献

This study reports fluorescence high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and UV-Vis HPLC methods for the determination of 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) and tolbutamide methylhydroxylase (TMH) activities, respectively, using bovine liver microsomes. The detection limits were 0.022 and 5.5 pmol on the column, respectively; intra-day and inter-day precisions (expressed as relative standard deviation) were <10%. Both methods showed enough sensitivity to allow for an accurate determination of enzyme kinetic parameters according to Michaelis-Menten plots and the results were: K(m)=0.23+/-0.051 microM, V(max)=0.488+/-0.035 nmol/min/mg protein for EROD activity, and K(m)=1010+/-155.7 microM, V(max)=0.089+/-0.006 nmol/min/mg protein for TMH activity. An Eadie-Hofstee plot analysis showed that in bovine liver microsomes, EROD and TMH activities followed a monophasic kinetic pattern. alpha-Naphthoflavone, a cytochrome P450 1A1/2 (CYP1A1/2) inhibitor, and sulfaphenazole, a cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) inhibitor, decreased EROD and TMH activities, respectively. The sensitivity of the methods allowed the use of microsomes with low enzyme activity, such as those from veal calf liver. Thus, EROD and TMH activities may be adopted as markers for the evaluation of CYP1A and CYP2C9-like activities in liver microsomes from veal and beef cattle.  相似文献

Many benzimidazoles are known inducers of cytochromes P4501A (CYP1A) in laboratory animals and cell lines. As flubendazole and mebendazole are benzimidazole anthelmintics often used in a pheasant, in the present study an effect of these drugs in primary cultures of pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) hepatocytes was investigated. After 48 h incubation of the hepatocytes with the benzimidazoles (0.2-5 microM), CYP1A activities -- ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation (EROD) and methoxyresorufin O-demethylation (MROD) activities were measured and the CYP1A protein levels were determined by Western blotting. None of the tested benzimidazoles influenced the CYP1A protein content. No pharmacologically significant enhancement of CYP1A after exposure of the hepatocytes to flubendazole and mebendazole was found. Inhibition of the EROD/MROD activities caused by both tested substances was observed only at the highest concentration (5 microM). From a point of view of CYP1A induction or inhibition, the treatment of pheasants by both anthelmintics tested seems to be safe. Our study demonstrates the inter-species differences in CYP1A inducibility and the importance of induction/inhibition studies on target animals.  相似文献

Currently, although enrofloxacin (EF) as a widely used veterinary medicine has begun to apply to treating fish bacterial infections, the researches on the effects of EF on their main drug metabolic enzymes are limited. To investigate the effects of EF on fish cytochromes P450 (CYPs) 1A and 3A, the enzymatic activities and expressions (mRNA and protein) of crucian carp CYP1A and CYP3A after EF administration were examined. For CYP1A, in the in vivo experiments, EF exhibited potent inhibition on the CYP1A-related ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity, as well as CYP1A expressions at both protein and mRNA levels, at 24 h after administration with different EF dosages (3, 10, 30, and 60 mg/kg); Furthermore, CYP1A enzymatic activity and expressions at both protein and mRNA levels decreased more with increasing EF dosages. Additionally, the in vitro experimental results showed that, after incubated with microsomes, EF did not change the EROD activity through interacting directly with CYP1A. For CYP3A, the in vitro and in vivo experimental results demonstrated that EF could inhibit the CYP3A-related erythromycin N-demethylase activity in a time- and dose-dependent manner, while it did not suppress CYP3A expressions at both protein and mRNA levels after administration with EF for a short period (no more than 24 h); however, after injection with EF at a high dose (10 mg/kg) for a long period, the CYP3A protein and mRNA reached their lowest levels at 96 and 48 h, respectively. These results indicate that EF can suppress CYP1A expressions in a dose-dependent manner, thereby inhibiting further its catalytic activity; meanwhile, both the interactions of EF with CYP3A and the expressions decrease (protein and mRNA) caused by EF contribute to the CYP3A inhibition.  相似文献

Hepatic cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A) and sterol 27 hydroxylase activities were measured in fetal, newborn, suckling, and weaned piglets from 76 d into gestation to 49 d of age. Hepatic CYP7A activity was not detected in fetal microsomes, but it increased to 6.8 +/- 2.6 pmol/min x mg(-1) protein in suckling piglets at 21 d of age and to 18.2 +/- 2.5 in weaned piglets at 49 d of age. Hepatic CYP7A activity was not different between 49-d-old piglets weaned at 21 d and piglets suckled for 49 d (18.9 +/- 2.6 and 18.2 +/- 2.5 pmol/min x mg protein, respectively). Fasting for 14 h decreased CYP7A activity by 86% in both suckled and weaned piglets. Cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase activity remained decreased for at least 5 h after refeeding. Sterol 27-hydroxylase activity was also undetectable near birth, but was detectable by 21 d of age. Postnatally, sterol 27-hydroxylase activity was not influenced by age or suckling and weaning, as was CYP7A. Sterol 27-hydroxylase was decreased by 80% in piglets deprived of feed compared with piglets given free access. In contrast to CYP7A activity, 27-hydroxylase activity returned within 5 h after refeeding to levels observed in piglets given ad libitum access to feed. Similar to CYP7A enzyme activity, hepatic CYP7A mRNA was not detected in newborn piglets, but increased from 2.7 +/- 1.7 pg mRNA/microg RNA in suckling piglets at 21 d to 13.7 +/- 1.2 in 49-d-old piglets weaned at 21 d. As with enzyme activity, feed deprivation decreased CYP7A mRNA to barely detectable levels (< .5 pg/microg RNA), and which remained decreased for at least 5 h following refeeding (.6 +/- .3 and 2.67 +/- .4 pg mRNA/microg RNA for suckled and weaned piglets, respectively). In piglets allowed free access to feed, CYP7A mRNA concentrations were associated positively (P = .001) with enzyme activity. These results suggest that developmental regulation of CYP7A activity is the result of a pretranslational mechanism.  相似文献

Pleurotus cornucopiae (PC) mushroom with a brilliant yellow pileus is found in the field and known in Japan as Tamogi dake mushroom. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the mechanism of the antimutagenic effect of PC mushroom using both the Ames test and Comet assay. We have found a strong inhibitory effect of both aqueous and organic PC extracts on the mutagenicity elicited by benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P). This inhibition was dose-dependent in reaction mixtures containing cytosolic and microsomal fractions (S-9) from untreated rat liver as well as in those containing S-9 from aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ah) ligand of Sudan III-treated rats. Sudan III was a potent inducer of cytochrome P450 1A (CYP1A) activity. We treated rats with Sudan III to enhance the metabolic activation of B[a]P by the S-9 fraction. To explain whether this antimutagenicity was due to the inhibition of CYP1A activity that metabolically activates B[a]P, we tested the effects of the extracts on activities of CYP1A1 and CYP1A2, represented by ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) and methoxyresorufin O-demethylase (MROD), respectively. Both aqueous and organic extracts inhibited EROD activity at all dose levels, while the inhibitory effect was only observed at high doses with regard to MROD activity. Furthermore, pre-treatment of Chinese hamster V79cells with PC extracts significantly reduced H2O2-induced-DNA damage, indicating that PC extracts provide a protective effect against oxidative DNA damage. These results indicate that whole-mushroom extracts contain compounds that may inhibit the metabolic activation of B[a]P by CYP1A1 as well as prevent oxidative DNA damage.  相似文献

This study aimed to investigate the biotransformation of cat liver microsomes in comparison to dogs and humans using a high throughput method with fluorescent substrates and classical inhibitors specific for certain isozymes of the human cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme family. The metabolic activities associated with CYP1A, CYP2B, CYP2C, CYP2D, CYP2E and CYP3A were measured. Cat liver microsomes metabolized all substrates selected for the assessment of cytochrome P450 activity. The activities associated with CYP3A and CYP2B were higher than the activities of the other measured CYPs. Substrate selectivity could be demonstrated by inhibition studies with α-naphthoflavone (CYP1A), tranylcypromine/quercetine (CYP2C), quinidine (CYP2D), diethyldithiocarbamic acid (CYP2E) and ketoconazole (CYP3A) respectively. Other prototypical inhibitors used for characterization of human CYP activities such as furafylline (CYP1A), tranylcypromine (CYP2B) and sulfaphenazole (CYP2C) did not show significant effects in cat and dog liver microsomes. Moreover, IC50-values of cat CYPs differed from dog and human CYPs underlining the interspecies differences. Gender differences were observed in the oxidation of 7-ethoxy-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin (CYP2B) and 3-[2-(N, N-diethyl-N-methylamino)ethyl]-7-methoxy-4-methylcoumarin (CYP2D), which were significantly higher in male cats than in females. Conversely, oxidation of the substrates dibenzylfluorescein (CYP2C) and 7-methoxy-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin (CYP2E) showed significant higher activities in females than in male cats. Overall CYP-activities in cat liver microsomes were lower than in those from dogs or humans, except for CYP2B. The presented difference between feline and canine CYP-activities are useful to establish dose corrections for feline patients of intensively metabolized drugs licensed for dogs or humans.  相似文献

Fenbendazole (FBZ), flubendazole (FLBZ) and mebendazole (MBZ) are benzimidazole anthelmintics widely used in veterinary medicine. The effects of these drugs on cytochromes P450 (CYP) were investigated in primary cultures of swine (Sus scrofa f. domestica) hepatocytes. After 48-h incubation of hepatocytes with benzimidazoles (0.1-2.5 microm), ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation (EROD), benzoxyresorufin O-dearylation (BROD), testosterone hydroxylase (6beta-TOH) and testosterone oxidase (17-TO) activities were measured and the CYP1A and 3A protein levels were determined by Western blotting. FBZ produced a significant, concentration-dependent increase of CYP1A activity (EROD) and protein level. No enhancement of CYP1A was observed after exposure to FLBZ and MBZ. All benzimidazoles tested did not cause any induction of CYP3A (BROD, 6beta-TOH, 17-TO activities and protein content). On the other hand, MBZ produced a significant, concentration-dependent decrease of CYP3A (BROD, 6beta-TOH and 17-TO) activities. Pharmacological and toxicological consequences of CYP1A induction and CYP3A inhibition should be taken into account in treatment of pigs with FBZ and MBZ.  相似文献

采用微量肉汤稀释法测定3种喹诺酮类药物对21株嗜水气单胞菌的最小抑菌浓度(MIC),体外建立其生物被膜(BF),采用结晶紫法和扫描电镜的方法研究生物被膜的形成和结构,并观察喹诺酮类药物对生物被膜形成能力的影响。结果表明:喹诺酮类药物对嗜水气单胞菌有较强的抑制作用,诺氟沙星、环丙沙星、恩诺沙星的抑菌率分别为90.5%,95.25%和85.7%,其中环丙沙星的抑菌作用最强,对21株菌的最小抑菌浓度均在0.7813μg/mL以下。21株嗜水气单胞菌均可在24～48 h内体外形成较为稳定的BF,但不同菌株之间形成BF的能力有所不同。嗜水气单胞菌对喹诺酮类药物较为敏感,环丙沙星浓度在1倍MIC以上即可抑制嗜水气单胞菌生物被膜的早期形成,但细菌形成成熟的生物被膜后,较高浓度药物对生物被膜的影响不明显。  相似文献

Characterization of cytochrome P450-mediated drug metabolism in cats   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1  
In this study we examined activities of cytochrome P450 (CYP)1A, 2C, 2D and 3A using hepatic microsomes from five male and five female cats. CYP1A, 2C, 2D and 3A activities were referred by ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation (EROD), tolbutamide hydroxylation (TBH), bufuralol 1'-hydroxylation (BLH) and midazolam 1'- and 4-hydroxylation respectively. The anti-rat CYP1A2 and CYP3A2 serum significantly inhibited EROD and midazolam 1'- and 4-hydroxylation, suggesting that EROD and midazolam 1'- and 4-hydroxylation were catalysed by CYP1A and 3A in cats respectively. Quinidine inhibited BLH in cats microsomes at quite low concentrations, suggesting that BLH was catalysed by CYP2D in cats. Tolbutamide hydroxylation activities were negligible in hepatic microsomes from both male and female cats, suggesting CYP2C activities of cats are extremely low. This suggests that CYP2C substrates should be carefully administered to cats. Although there is no sexual difference in CYP1A activities, there are differences in CYP2D and 3A activities of cats. CYP2D activities were higher (3-fold), but CYP3A activities were lower (one-fifth) in female cats. These results might suggest that CYP2D and 3A substrates should be prescribed for male and female cats using different dosage regimen.  相似文献

The contribution of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway to the relaxation induced by tamoxifen, a synthetic non-steroidal anti-estrogen, was examined in rat vascular smooth muscle. Tamoxifen (0.1-300 microM) inhibited the contraction induced by endothelin-1 (ET-1, 3 nM) in aortic smooth muscle in a concentration-dependent manner. The inhibitory effect of tamoxifen was not attenuated by 10 microM ICI 182,780, a selective antagonist of estrogen receptors. In the Ca(2+) channel inhibitor verapamil (1 microM)-pretreated strips, tamoxifen also inhibited the contraction induced by ET-1. Both PD098059 and SB203580, inhibitors of MAPK/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) kinase and p38 MAPK, respectively, inhibited ET-1-induced contraction in aortic smooth muscle. In Western blot analysis with anti-phosphorylated MAPK antibodies, ET-1 (3 nM) enhanced activities of both ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK in aortic muscle strips, which were not attenuated by the treatment with 4 mM EGTA. Tamoxifen (100 microM) inhibited the activities of ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK induced by ET-1 without significant changes in the expression of these kinases. These results suggest that tamoxifen induces relaxation of rat vascular smooth muscle, and that this is, at least in part, mediated by the inhibition of the Ca(2+)-independent MAPK pathway.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to screen the inhibitory potential of several testicular steroids on cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) and 2C (CYP2C) activities in porcine liver microsomes. The microsomes used in this study were obtained from pubertal male pigs of two breeds, Landrace and Duroc. For the in vitro inhibition study, porcine microsomes were incubated in the presence of 17β‐estradiol, 17α‐estradiol, androstenone, dehydroepiandrosterone and dihydrotestosterone. Both reversible and mechanism‐based inhibitions were examined. 7‐benzyloxyresorufin (BR) and 7‐benzyloxy‐4‐trifluoromethylcoumarin (BFC) were used as substrates for CYP3A, and diclofenac and tolbutamide (TB) as substrates for CYP2C. 7‐benzyloxyresorufin O‐dealkylase (BROD) activity was inhibited by all tested steroids in the microsomes from Landrace pigs via mechanism‐based mode, but in the microsomes from Duroc pigs, BROD activities were inhibited only in the presence of 17β‐oestradiol. Mechanism‐based inhibition of BFC metabolism by the tested steroids was observed in the microsomes from both breeds, but this inhibition was weak and did not exceed 20%. TB hydroxylase (TBOH) activity in the microsomes from Duroc pigs was inhibited by 17α‐oestradiol through the mechanism‐based mode of inhibition. None of the investigated steroids inhibited TBOH activity in Landrace pigs. For the in vivo study, male pigs were injected with a single dose of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) to stimulate testicular steroid production by the Leydig cells. In vivo stimulation with hGC did not alter BROD activity either in Landrace or in Duroc pigs. BFC metabolism was significantly induced by hCG stimulation in both breeds and TBOH activity only in Duroc pigs. Activity of diclofenac hydroxylase was not detected in either Landrace or Duroc pigs. Breed significantly affected BROD and TBOH activity with BROD being higher in Landrace and TBOH in Duroc pigs. This study improved our understanding of the role of testicular steroids in the regulation of porcine CYP450 activity.  相似文献

This study tested the hypothesis that calcium-release from sarcoplasmic reticulum isolated from malignant hyperthermia swine had abnormal concentration-dependency on release modulators. Halothane stimulated half-maximal calcium-release at similar concentrations for malignant hyperthermia and control sarcoplasmic reticulum (0.10 +/- 0.04 mM). However, concentrations causing half-maximal calcium-release were lower for malignant hyperthermia sarcoplasmic reticulum (P less than 0.001) by an order of magnitude for Ca2+ (28.1 +/- 8.3 versus 1.23 +/- 0.45 nM), adenosine triphosphate (0.33 +/- 0.09 versus 0.023 +/- 0.014 mM) and caffeine (7.79 +/- 1.56 versus 0.80 +/- 0.44 mM). Half-maximal inhibition by Mg2+ occurred at threefold higher concentrations for malignant hyperthermia sarcoplasmic reticulum (0.23 +/- 0.02 versus 0.78 +/- 0.17 mM). The Ca2+-sensitivity curves for calcium-release by sarcoplasmic reticulum isolated from heterozygotes for the malignant hyperthermia-defect were indistinguishable from the averages of the curves for controls and malignant hyperthermia-homozygotes. Results of this study suggest that malignant hyperthermia is initiated due to a hypersensitive calcium-release mechanism which is inherited in an autosomal, codominant pattern and may be diagnosed using calcium-release sensitivity-tests on isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum.  相似文献

In pigs, the hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2, 2A and 2E1 activity is important in the regulation of skatole accumulation in adipose tissue. This study investigated gender-related differences in CYP1A2, 2A and 2E1 dependent activity, protein and mRNA expression. This study also investigated the gonadal steroid dependent inhibition of CYP activity in relation to gender and dietary composition. Microsomes were prepared from the liver of female and entire male pigs (Landrace × Yorkshire sire and Duroc boars) reared under similar conditions and slaughtered at an age of 164 days. A group of entire male pigs fed dried chicory root for 16 days prior to slaughter were included in the study. CYP activities were assessed by the use of probe substrates, whilst mRNA and protein expression were analysed by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Furthermore inhibition of CYP dependent activity by gonadal steroids was assessed in vitro. Microsomes from female pigs had greater CYP1A2 and 2A activity, as well as mRNA expression compared to entire male pigs. The antibodies used did not detected differences in protein expression. In vitro inhibition by 17β-oestradiol, oestrone, androstenone and 3β-OH androstenol of CYP2E1 activity in microsomes from entire male pigs as well as inhibition of CYP1A activity in chicory fed entire male pigs was observed. Apart from that no effect of steroids was shown. In conclusion, female pigs show greater CYP activity and mRNA expression. Including chicory in the diet for 16 days changed the gonadal steroid dependent inhibition of CYP activity in entire male pigs.  相似文献
