CYP2C8.3

N6 -Methyladenosine (m6 A) modification is the most prevalent RNA modification in mammals. We have recently demonstrated that inhibition of m6 A modification by 3-deazaadenosine results in an increase in the expression of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms CYP1A2, CYP2B6, and CYP2C8 in human liver-derived cells. In the present study, we aimed to clarify the mechanism of m6 A-mediated regulation of CYP2B6 expression. RNA immunoprecipitation using an anti-m6 A antibody revealed that CYP2B6 mRNA in human liver and hepatocarcinoma-derived HepaRG cells was m6 A-modified around the stop codon...

2F-QMPSB (quinolin-8-yl 3-(4,4-difluoropiperidine-1-sulfonyl)-4-methylbenzoate) and SGT-233 (3-(4,4-difluoropiperidine-1-sulfonyl)-4-methyl-N-(2-phenylpropan-2-yl)benzamide) belong to a new group of synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists (SCRAs) containing a sulfamoyl benzoate or sulfamoyl benzamide core structure. 2F-QMPSB was identified on herbal material seized in Europe in 2018. The aims of the presented study were the identification of in vitro phase I and II metabolites of 2F-QMPSB and SGT-233 to find analytical targets for toxicological screenings...

Cinitapride is a gastrointestinal prokinetic drug, prescribed for the treatment of functional dyspepsia, and as an adjuvant therapy for gastroesophageal reflux disease. In this study, we aimed to explore the impact of relevant variants in CYP3A4 and CYP2C8 and other pharmacogenes, along with demographic characteristics, on cinitapride pharmacokinetics and safety; and to evaluate the impact of CYP2C8 alleles on the enzyme's function. Twenty-five healthy volunteers participating in a bioequivalence clinical trial consented to participate in the study...

In 2019, synthetic cannabinoids accounted for more than one-third of new drugs of abuse worldwide; however, assessment of associated health risks is not ethical for controlled and often illegal substances, making CD-1 mouse exposure studies the gold standard. Interpretation of those findings then depends on the similarity of mouse and human metabolic pathways. Herein, we report the first comparative analysis of steady-state metabolism of N -(1-adamantyl)-1-(5-pentyl)-1 H -indazole-3-carboxamide (5F-APINACA/5F-AKB48) in CD-1 mice and humans using hepatic microsomes...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Tucatinib is approved for treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive metastatic breast cancer.

INTRODUCTION: Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) leads to blindness. It has been widely reported that increased intake of ω-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) diets reduce CNV. Of the three major pathways metabolizing ω-3 (and ω-6 LCPUFA), the cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways generally produce pro-angiogenic metabolites from ω-6 LCPUFA and anti-angiogenic ones from ω-3 LCPUFA. However, cytochrome P450 oxidase (CPY) 2C produces pro-angiogenic metabolites from both ω-6 and ω-3 LCPUFA...

BACKGROUND: Lucitanib is an oral, potent, selective inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase activity of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1‒3, fibroblast growth factor receptors 1‒3, and platelet-derived growth factor receptors alpha/beta. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to develop a population pharmacokinetics (PopPK) model for lucitanib in patients with advanced cancers. METHODS: PopPK analyses were based on intensive and sparse oral pharmacokinetic data from 5 phase 1/2 clinical studies of lucitanib in a total of 403 patients with advanced cancers...

Relugolix, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonist, has been well studied in the treatment of endometriosis symptomatic. It is mainly metabolized by the CYP3A subfamily of P450 enzymes, while minorly metabolized by CYP2C8. Daidzein in different dose groups exhibited a certain induction on the mRNA expression level of CYP3A4 and resulted in the potent induction of CYP3A4. However, it is still unknown whether daidzein and relugolix interact. We developed an effective ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method to study the effect of daidzein on the pharmacokinetics of relugolix in rats after oral administration of 12 mg/kg relugolix in a single or mixed of 50 mg/kg daidzein...

Genetic variation in genes encoding cytochrome P450 enzymes influences the metabolism of drugs and endogenous compounds. The locus containing the cytochrome genes CYP2C8 and CYP2C9 on chromosome 10 exhibits linkage disequilibrium between the CYP2C8*3 and CYP2C9*2 alleles, forming a haplotype of ~300 kilobases. This haplotype is associated with altered metabolism of several drugs, most notably reduced metabolism of warfarin and phenytoin, leading to toxicity at otherwise therapeutic doses. Here we show that this haplotype is inherited from Neandertals...
