Abstract
The volatile anesthetic sevoflurane is degraded to fluoromethyl-2,2-difluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)vinyl ether (FDVE) in anesthesia machines. FDVE is nephrotoxic in rats. FDVE undergoes glutathione conjugation, subsequent conversion to cysteine and mercapturic acid conjugates, and cysteine conjugate metabolism by renal beta-lyase, which is a bioactivation pathway mediating nephrotoxicity in rats. Recent in vitro studies revealed cytochrome P4503A-catalyzed formation of novel sulfoxide metabolites of FDVE cysteine-S and mercapturic acid conjugates in rat liver and kidney microsomes. FDVE-mercapturic acid sulfoxides were more toxic than other FDVE conjugates to renal proximal tubular cells in culture. Nevertheless, the occurrence and toxicological significance of FDVE sulfoxides formation in vivo remain unknown. This investigation determined, in rats in vivo, the existence, role of P4503A, and nephrotoxic consequence of FDVE conjugates sulfoxidation. Rats were pretreated with dexamethasone, phenobarbital, troleandomycin, or nothing (controls) before FDVE, and then, nephrotoxicity, FDVE-mercapturate sulfoxide urinary excretion, and FDVE-mercapturate sulfoxidation by liver microsomes were assessed. The formation of FDVE-mercapturic ac...Continue Reading
