Abstract

Recently, it was found that the carbonyl group of 1-[3-(4-phenoxyphenoxy)-2-oxopropyl]indole-5-carboxylic acid (5), an inhibitor of the pro-inflammatory enzyme cytosolic phospholipase A2 α, is easily reduced by rat liver S9 fractions in vitro. Determination of the inhibitory potency of certain putative inhibitors of carbonyl reducing enzymes on the transformation of the ketone derivative 5 to its alcohol 6 by recombinant microsomal NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase and by recombinant cytosolic carbonyl reductase-1 now reveals that these compounds show a lack of specificity for these two enzymes in part. Thus, an assignment of the roles of different carbonyl reductases in metabolic keto reduction by the use of inhibitors is problematic. In addition, the ability of NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase and carbonyl reductase-1 to reduce the ketone groups of the drugs haloperidol and daunorubicin was examined. Under the conditions applied, a pronounced reductive metabolism was only observed for daunorubicin in the presence of microsomal NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase. Similarly, in rat liver S9 fractions a marked reduction of daunorubicin was seen, while haloperidol was only slightly metabolized to its alcohol. After separation of the S9...Continue Reading
