When estradiol 17-sulfate was incubated with rat liver microsomes in the presence of a reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-generating system, 4-hydroxyestradiol 17-sulfate was obtained as a minor product accompanying the major metabolite, 2-hydroxyestradiol 17-sulfate. This 4-hydroxylation was shown to occur without cleavage of the conjugate group. At the substrate concentration of 200 μM, which is about twice the Km value of estradiol 17-sulfate 2-hydroxylase, the amounts of 2-and 4-hydroxylated products formed by liver microsomes from male rats were 15.03±1.43 and 0.23±0.01%, respectively. Analogous results were obtained with microsomes from female rats under the same conditions : the yields of 2-and 4-hydroxylated metabolites were 8.75±0.97 and 0.14±0.02%, respectively. Thus, the relative ratios of 2-and 4-hydroxylation of estradiol 17-sulfate were approximately 60 : 1 in both sexes. A synthesis of the authentic conjugate, 4-hydroxyestradiol 17-sulfate, and a method for its assay by high-performance liquid chromatography with an electrochemical detector are also described.
当雌二醇17-硫酸盐与大鼠肝微粒体在还原型烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸磷酸(NADPH)生成系统的存在下孵育时,4-羟基雌二醇17-硫酸盐作为次要产物伴随主要代谢产物2-羟基雌二醇17-硫酸盐而产生。 4-羟基化反应无需共轭基断裂即可发生。 在底物浓度为200μM(约为雌二醇17-硫酸盐2-羟化酶Km值的两倍)时,雄性大鼠肝微粒体形成的2-和4-羟基化产物的量分别为15.03±1.43%和0.23±0.01%。 在相同条件下,雌性大鼠微粒体也获得了类似的结果:2-和4-羟基化代谢产物的产量分别为8.75±0.97%和0.14±0.02%。 因此,雌二醇17-硫酸盐的2-和4-羟基化反应的相对比率在两性中约为60:1。 还描述了4-羟基雌二醇17-硫酸盐的合成以及通过电化学检测器的高性能液
