Abuse of the stimulant designer drug methylone (methylenedioxymethcathinone) has been documented in most parts of the world. As with many of the new designer drugs that continuously appear in the illicit drug market, little is known about the pharmacokinetics of methylone. Using in vitro studies, CYP2D6 was determined to be the primary enzyme that metabolizes methylone, with minor contributions from CYP1A2, CYP2B6, and CYP2C19. The major metabolite was identified as dihydroxymethcathinone, and the minor metabolites were N -hydroxy-methylone, nor-methylone, and dihydro-methylone. Measuring the formation of the major metabolite, biphasic Michaelis–Menten kinetic parameters were determined: V max,1 = 0.046 ± 0.005 (S.E.) nmol/min/mg protein, K m,1 = 19.0 ± 4.2 μ M, V max,2 = 0.22 ± 0.04 nmol/min/mg protein, and K m,2 = 1953 ± 761 μ M; the low-capacity and high-affinity contribution was assigned to the activity of CYP2D6. Additionally, a time-dependent loss of CYP2D6 activity was observed when the enzyme was preincubated with methylone, reaching a maximum rate of inactivation at high methylone concentrations, indicating that methylone is a mechanism-based inhibitor of CYP2D6. The inactivation parameters were determined to be K I = 15.1 ± 3.4 (S.E.) μ M and k inact = 0.075 ± 0.005 minute−1.
世界大部分地区都有滥用兴奋剂特制药物甲酮(亚甲二氧基甲卡西酮)的记录。与非法药物市场上不断出现的许多新型特制药物一样,人们对甲酮的药代动力学知之甚少。通过体外研究,确定 CYP2D6 是代谢甲酮的主要酶,CYP1A2、CYP2B6 和 CYP2C19 对其代谢作用较小。主要代谢物被确定为二羟基甲卡西酮,次要代谢物为 N -羟基甲酮、去甲甲酮和二氢甲酮。通过测定主要代谢物的形成过程,确定了双相迈克尔-门顿动力学参数:V max,1 = 0.046 ± 0.005 (S.E.) nmol/min/mg 蛋白质,K m,1 = 19.0 ± 4.2 μ M,V max,2 = 0.22 ± 0.04 nmol/min/mg 蛋白质,K m,2 = 1953 ± 761 μ M;低能力和高亲和力的贡献归因于 CYP2D6 的活性。此外,当 CYP2D6 与甲缩醛预孵育时,观察到 CYP2D6 活性的丧失与时间有关,在高浓度甲缩醛时达到最大失活率,这表明甲缩醛是一种基于机制的 CYP2D6 抑制剂。灭活参数被确定为 K I = 15.1 ± 3.4 (S.E.) μ M 和 k inact = 0.075 ± 0.005 minute-1。
