The metabolism of the norisoprenoid β-ionone was investigated in vitro using human liver microsomes and 11 different recombinant cytochrome P450 enzymes expressed in Trichoplusia ni cells. β-Ionone was found to be oxidized via 4S-hydroxylation by CYP2B6 in human liver microsomes. CYP1A2 also regioselectively catalyzed the hydroxylation of β-ionone to yield 4-hydroxylation; this conversion was not stereoselective. Further kinetic analysis revealed that CYP2B6 exhibited the highest activity for β-ionone 4-hydroxylation. Kinetic analysis showed that K m and V max for oxidation of β-ionone by CYP1A2 and CYP2B6 was 107.9 ± 36.0 µM and 3200.3 ± 323.0 nmol/min/nmol P450 and 5.6 ± 1.2 µM and 572.8 ± 29.8 nmol/min/nmol P450, respectively. The reaction rates observed using human liver microsomes and recombinant CYP2B6 were very high compared with those of other CYP2B6 substrates reported thus far. These results suggest that β-ionone, a norisoprenoid present in nature, is one of the effective substrates for CYP2B enzymes in human liver microsomes. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that 4-hydroxy β-ionone has been described as a human metabolite of β-ionone.
研究人员利用人体肝脏微粒体和在 Trichoplusia ni 细胞中表达的 11 种不同的
重组细胞色素 P450 酶,在体外研究了去甲异
戊烯δ-壬酮的代谢过程。研究发现,δ-壬酮在人肝脏微粒体中通过 4S- 羟基化作用被 CYP2B6 氧化。CYP1A2 也能区域选择性地催化δ-²-壬酮的羟基化反应,产生
4-羟基化反应;这种转化没有立体选择性。进一步的动力学分析表明,CYP2B6 在 β-ionone 4-hydroxylation 中表现出最高的活性。动力学分析表明,CYP1A2 和 CYP2B6 氧化δ-酮的 K m 和 V max 分别为 107.9 ± 36.0 µM 和 3200.3 ± 323.0 nmol/min/nmol P450,以及 5.6 ± 1.2 µM 和 572.8 ± 29.8 nmol/min/nmol P450。与迄今报道的其他 CYP2B6 底物相比,使用人肝微粒体和
重组 CYP2B6 观察到的反应速率非常高。这些结果表明,δ-²-酮是一种存在于自然界中的去甲异
肾上腺素类化合物,是人肝脏微粒体中 CYP2B 酶的有效底物之一。据我们所知,这是首次将 4-hydroxy β-ionone 描述为 β-ionone 的人类代谢物。
