Abstract

Xanthates have previously been shown to inactivate the phenobarbital-inducible rat cytochrome P450 2B1 as well as its human homologue P450 2B6. The inactivation was mechanism-based and the loss in enzymatic activity was due to covalent binding of a reactive xanthate intermediate to the P450 2B1 apoprotein. In this report, we investigated various mechanistic events to elucidate the individual step(s) in the P450 catalytic cycle that are compromised due to the inactivation by xanthates. Different xanthates displayed typical type I binding spectra and the spectral binding constants were in the low-millimolar range. A dramatic loss in 7-ethoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)coumarin activity was observed when P450 2B1 was incubated with five different xanthates in the presence of NADPH. With the exception of the C14 xanthate, virtually no loss of absorbance at 418 or 450 nm in the reduced-CO complex was observed. Long-chain xanthates were able to affect the rate of the first electron transfer in the P450 catalytic cycle by stabilizing the heme in its low-spin state. n-Octyl xanthate (C8) metabolism led to very little observable oxy–ferro intermediate complex formation. The alternate oxidant tert-butyl hydroperoxide was able to support the inactivation reaction of C8 in the absence of reductase or NADPH. The rates of reduction of native, C8-exposed, and C8-inactivated P450 2B1 were measured. The C8-inactivated P450 had a 62% lower rate of reduction in the absence or presence of benzphetamine compared to the native enzyme. Product formation of the three enzyme preparations was quantified with benzphetamine as the substrate. The C8-inactivated P450 2B1 exhibited a much lower rate of NADPH consumption and formation of formaldehyde. However, the ratio of H₂O₂ to formaldehyde production increased from 1:1 for the native enzyme to 2.8:1 for the inactivated P450. Together these observations indicate that the covalent modification of P450 2B1 by a reactive intermediate of xanthates reduces the rate of the first electron transfer by the reductase and also leads to uncoupling of electron transfer from product formation by diverting a greater proportion of the electrons to H₂O₂ formation.

Rapid analysis of trace pollutants chlorates, perchlorates, and four xanthates in water based on IC-MS combined technology
2024, Microchemical Journal
Water, as the source of life, plays a crucial role in life activities. It also acts as a solvent, allowing toxic and harmful substances to migrate through the water environment. In this study, an analytical method based on ion chromatography-mass spectrometry (IC-MS) is established for the direct determination of trace chlorates, perchlorates, and four xanthates in water. The Dionex IonPac AS20 chromatography column is used as the analytical column, and the CR-TC device automatically generates KOH eluent and sets up a multi-step gradient program for elution. The Dionex ADRS 600 self-circulating regeneration ion suppressor (2 mm) generates H⁺ through electrolysis of water, replacing metal ions in the sample solution and eluent, enabling direct tandem ion chromatography and mass spectrometry. The water sample is directly measured by IC-MS after being filtered by a hydrophilic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filter head. The results indicate that chlorate and perchlorate show good linearity in the range of 0.1–100 ng mL⁻¹, with a quantification limit of 0.3 μg L⁻¹. The four xanthates exhibit a good linear relationship in the range of 0.5–500 ng mL⁻¹, and the quantification limit can be reduced to 1 μg L⁻¹. The method offers advantages such as high recovery rate, good stability, and strong reproducibility. It shows high consistency with the results detected by the LC-MS method, but with the added benefits of being more advanced and time-saving. This innovative technology provides a new detection method for trace pollutants in water, which can aid in the prevention and control of pollutants in the water environment.
Lateral segregation of anionic phospholipids in model membranes induced by cytochrome P450 2B1: Bi-directional coupling between CYP2B1 and anionic phospholipid
2007, Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics
Citation Excerpt :
The reaction samples were incubated for 10 min at 30 °C and then intrinsic fluorescence was measured at 340 nm after excitation at 280 nm. In the case of CYP2B1, the low spin content is much higher than that of high spin (high spin form of 22%) [25]. The usual binding spectral titrations were used to determine dissociation constants (Ks) for phospholipids [26].
The lateral segregation of anionic phospholipids phosphatidic acid (PA), phosphatidylinositol (PI), and phosphatidylserine (PS) was detected after addition of cytochrome P450 2B1 (CYP2B1). The tendency of lipid clustering was highly dependent on the type of anionic phospholipids examined. PA was the most highly clustered while PI and PS clustered to a lesser degree. Moreover, liposomes containing anionic phospholipids form anionic phospholipid-rich microdomains in the presence of CYP2B1. Anionic phospholipids (mostly notably PA) also increased the ability of CYP2B1 to bind to lipid monolayers. In addition to the ability of CYP2B1 to modulate the physical properties of the membrane, the membrane itself can have reciprocal effects on the activity and conformation of CYP2B1. The catalytic activity of CYP2B1 increased as a function of anionic phospholipid concentration and in the presence of 10 mol% PA, the activity increased by 85%. These results suggest a bi-directional coupling between the CYP2B1 and anionic phospholipids.
Mechanistic studies with N-benzyl-1-aminobenzotriazole-inactivated CYP2B1: Differential effects on the metabolism of 7-ethoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)coumarin, testosterone, and benzphetamine
2004, Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics
Mechanistic studies with N-benzyl-1-aminobenzotriazole (BBT)-inactivated cytochrome P450 2B1 were conducted to determine which step(s) in the reaction cycle had been compromised. Stopped-flow studies, formation of the oxy–ferro intermediate, and analysis of products suggested that the reductive process was slower with the BBT-modified enzyme. The reduced rate of reduction alone could not account for the loss in 7-ethoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)coumarin (EFC) O-deethylation or testosterone hydroxylation activity. Surprisingly, the ability of the BBT-modified enzyme to generate formaldehyde from benzphetamine was much less affected. Benzphetamine metabolite analysis by electrospray ionization–mass spectrometry showed that the BBT-modified enzyme had a slightly greater propensity towards aromatic hydroxylation together with reduced levels of N-demethylation and little change in the N-debenzylation of benzphetamine. Orientation of substrates within the active site of the BBT-inactivated enzyme may be affected such that the more flexible benzphetamine can be metabolized, whereas metabolism of rigid, planar molecules such as EFC and testosterone is hindered.
Cytochrome P450-mediated drug metabolism in the brain
2013, Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience
Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) metabolize many drugs that act on the central nervous system (CNS), such as antidepressants and antipsychotics; drugs of abuse; endogenous neurochemicals, such as serotonin and dopamine; neurotoxins; and carcinogens. This takes place primarily in the liver, but metabolism can also occur in extrahepatic organs, including the brain. This is important for CNS-acting drugs, as variation in brain CYP-mediated metabolism may be a contributing factor when plasma levels do not predict drug response. This review summarizes the characterization of CYPs in the brain, using examples from the CYP2 subfamily, and discusses sources of variation in brain CYP levels and metabolism. Some recent experiments are described that demonstrate how changes in brain CYP metabolism can influence drug response, toxicity and drug-induced behaviours. Advancing knowledge of brain CYP-mediated metabolism may help us understand why patients respond differently to drugs used in psychiatry and predict risk for psychiatric disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases and substance abuse.
