Drug Metabolism and Disposition : the Biological Fate of Chemicals

Abstract

Drug-induced changes in expression of cytochrome P450 (P450) genes are a significant issue in the preclinical development of pharmaceuticals. For example, preclinically, P450 induction can affect safety studies by reducing the systemic exposure of a compound undergoing toxicological evaluation, thus limiting the exposure that can be safely investigated in patients. Therefore, the induction potential of candidate drugs has been studied as part of the drug development process, typically using protein and/or catalytic end points. However, measuring changes in the levels of mRNA using TaqMan technology offers the opportunity to investigate this issue with the advantages of better dynamic range and specific enzyme identification. Here, we describe the TaqMan application to study ex vivo the P450 gene induction in the rat. Initially, livers from rats dosed with the prototypic P450 inducers beta-napthoflavone (BNF), phenobarbital (PB), dexamethasone (DEX), and clofibric acid (CLO) were analyzed for mRNA levels of CYP1A1, 1A2, 2B1, 2B2, 2E1, 3A2, 3A23, and 4A1 and compared with control animals. The maximum fold induction of mRNA varied: 2500-fold for CYP1A1 with BNF, 680-fold for CYP2B1 with PB, 59-fold for CYP3A23 with DEX, and 16-fol...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.
