Outline of Final Research Achievements

The flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) catalyzes the oxygenation of N- and S- containing medicines and xenobiotic substances. From viewpoint of growing interest in drug interactions mediated by polymorphic FMO3, benzydamine N-oxygenation and sulindac sulfide S-oxygenation by human liver microsomal FMO3 were investigated as model reactions. Genetic polymorphisms in the human FMO3 gene might lead to some changes of enzyme activities and drug-drug interactions for N- or S-oxygenations of endogenous and xenobiotic substances including medicines. Since even the most common p.[(Glu158Lys; Glu308Gly)] variant FMO3 protein could result in stronger inhibition potential, genetic polymorphism of human FMO3 gene might lead to unexpected drug interactions via modulation of FMO3 catalytic efficiency.
