摘要
1. The structural requirements for a compound to be a potent inhibitor for mouse CYP2A5 and human CYP2A6 enzymes catalysing coumarin 7-hydroxylase activity have been studied. 2. The IC50 of 28 compounds for the pyrazole-treated male DBA/2 mouse and human liver microsomal coumarin 7-hydroxylation were determined at 10 microm coumarin concentration 15 times over Km of coumarin. 3. The three most potent inhibitors for CYP2A5 were gamma-nonanoic lactone, gamma-decanolactone and gamma-phenyl-gamma-butyrolactone with an IC50 = 1.9+/-0.4, 2.1+/-0.2 and 2.4+/-0.3 microM and for CYP2A67-methylcoumarin, butylcyclohexane and indan with an IC50. = 30+/-3.2, 43+/-9 and 50+/-11 microM. 4. Among the 28 compounds studied, only 2-benzoxazolinone, 2-indanone and gamma-valerolactone showed similar inhibitory activity in both species. Indan had a lower IC50 for human than for mouse coumarin 7-hydroxylation, whereas the IC50 of 24 other compounds was higher for human than for mouse coumarin 7-hydroxylation. 5. The largest difference in IC50 between mouse and human activity was observed with 5-substituted phenyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl or octyl gamma-lactones or 6-substituted delta-lactones. IC50 of gamma-undecanolactone and gamma-decanolactone was 500 times lower for mouse than human coumarin 7-hydroxylation. 6. The difference in the IC50 between human and mouse coumarin 7-hydroxylation decreased substantially with the corresponding compounds without the lactone ring. 7. It is concluded that certain 5- or 6-position substituted gamma- and delta-lactones are potent inhibitors for mouse CYP2A5 but not for the orthologous human CYP2A6 and that the active site of CYP2A6 could be smaller than the active site of CYP2A5.
