代谢
Brincidofovir 是 [cidofovir] 的前药,因此它必须经历一些基本的代谢反应才能具有药理活性。进入目标细胞后,brincidofovir 的磷酸二酯键被水解以生成 cidofovir,然后 cidofovir 被磷酸化以生成活性物质:cidofovir 二磷酸盐。负责这一反应的具体酶尚未被阐明,但体外研究发现鞘磷脂磷酸二酯酶在 brincidofovir 的初始水解中发挥主要作用。Brincidofovir 有两个主要的无活性代谢物,CMX103 和 CMX064,它们是通过末端的碳进行羧化反应,然后经过几个周期的 CYP 介导的氧化反应和脂肪酸氧化生成的。这些反应至少部分由 CYP4F2 介导。
Brincidofovir is a pro-drug of [cidofovir] and as such must undergo some basic metabolic reactions to become pharmacologically active. Upon entering the target cell, the phosphodiester bond of brincidofovir is hydrolyzed to generate cidofovir, which is then phosphorylated to generate the active agent: cidofovir diphosphate. The specific enzyme(s) responsible for this reaction have not been elucidated, but _in vitro_ findings suggest sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase plays a major role in the initial hydrolysis of brincidofovir. There are two major inactive metabolites of brincidofovir, CMX103 and CMX064, which are generated via carboxylation of the terminal carbon followed by several cycles of CYP-mediated oxidative reactions and fatty acid oxidation. These reactions are mediated, at least in part, by CYP4F2.
