Research Abstract |
Human CYP3A enzymes (CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP3A7) expressed in COS-7 cells and CYP3A7 expressed in TN-5 cells using baculovirus were used for the characterization of human fetal cytochrome P450 (CYP3A7). CYP3A4 showed the highest activity towards to testosterone 6beta-hydroxylation. In contrast, CYP3A7 showed the highest activities for 16alpha-hydroxylation of dehydroepiandrosterone and its 3-sulfate. CYP3A5 was inactive for 16alpha-hydroxylation of dehydroepiandrosterone and its 3-sulfate. CYP3A7 catalyzed the formations 10,11-epoxide from carbamazepine, and 2-sulphamoylacetylphenol from zonisamide though CYP3A4 was the most active for both reactions. Triazolam inhibited testosterone 6b-hydroxylation catalyzed by both CYP3A5 and CYP3A7 at the concentration of which triazolam did not affect the reaction catalyzed by CYP3A4. In addition, triacetyloleandomycin exerted inhibitory effects on testosterone 6beta-hydroxylation depending on the time of microsomes with the drug in the presence of NADPH.However, the inhibitory effect of triacetyloleandomycin was pronounced in CYP3A4-mediated reaction compared to that catalyzed by CYP3A5 of CYP3A7. Although the Vmax of 16a-hydroxylation of dehydroepiandrosterone was about 10 times higher than that of 3-sulfate derivative, Km for the reactions were not different from each other. CYP3A7 also active for cortisol 6beta-hydroxylation. However, Vmax/Km or cortisol 6beta-hydroxylation was extremely low compared to those of 16alpha-hydroxylation of dehydroepiandrosterone and its 3-sulfate.
