代谢
合成大麻素类药物的代谢轮廓知识对于尿检中药物的检测非常重要,因为人类尿液中通常不存在或只含有极少量的母体大麻素。据报道,真菌 Cunninghamella elegans 是一个有用的代谢研究工具,因此本研究对其应用于合成大麻素代谢的适用性进行了考察。在本研究中,8-喹啉基-1-(5-氟戊基)-1H-吲哚-3-羧酸酯(5F-PB-22)、8-喹啉基-1-戊基-1H-吲哚-3-羧酸酯(PB-22)、[1-(5-氟戊基)-1H-吲哚-3-基](2,2,3,3-四甲基环丙基)甲酮(XLR-11)和(1-戊基-1H-吲哚-3-基)(2,2,3,3-四甲基环丙基)甲酮(UR-144)与 C. elegans 一起孵育,并使用液相色谱-四极飞行时间质谱鉴定代谢物。获得的代谢物与报道的人类代谢物进行了比较,以评估该真菌外推人类代谢的适宜性。5F-PB-22 经历了羟基化、二氢二醇形成、氧化脱氟、氧化脱氟至羧酸、酯水解和葡萄糖苷化,单独或联合进行。PB-22 的代谢物是通过羟基化、二羟基化、三羟基化、二氢二醇形成、酮形成、羧基化、酯水解和葡萄糖苷化产生的,单独或联合进行。XLR-11 通过羟基化、二羟基化、醛形成、羧基化、氧化脱氟、氧化脱氟至羧酸和葡萄糖苷化进行转化,单独或联合进行。UR-144 通过羟基化、二羟基化、三羟基化、醛形成、酮形成、羧基化、N-去烷基化和组合进行代谢。这些发现与以前报道的人类代谢一致,除了观察到的小范围的酯水解和葡萄糖苷化的缺失。尽管有限制,C. elegans 展现了产生包括 XLR-11 和 UR-144 的一些主要人类代谢物在内的广泛代谢物的能力,显示了其对新兴合成大麻素代谢的潜力。
The knowledge of metabolic profile of synthetic cannabinoids is important for the detection of drugs in urinalysis due to the typical absence or low abundance of parent cannabinoids in human urine. The fungus Cunninghamella elegans has been reported to be a useful tool for metabolism study and thus applicability to synthetic cannabinoid metabolism was examined. In this study, 8-quinolinyl 1-(5-fluoropentyl)-1H-indole-3-carboxylate (5F-PB-22), 8-quinolinyl 1-pentyl-1H-indole-3-carboxylate (PB-22), [1-(5-fluoropentyl)-1H-indol-3-yl](2,2,3,3-tetramethylcyclopropyl)methanone (XLR-11) and (1-pentyl-1H-indol-3-yl)(2,2,3,3-tetramethylcyclopropyl)methanone (UR-144) were incubated with C. elegans and the metabolites were identified using liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The obtained metabolites were compared with reported human metabolites to assess the suitability of the fungus to extrapolate human metabolism. 5F-PB-22 underwent dihydroxylation, dihydrodiol formation, oxidative defluorination, oxidative defluorination to carboxylic acid, ester hydrolysis and glucosidation, alone and/or in combination. The metabolites of PB-22 were generated by hydroxylation, dihydroxylation, trihydroxylation, dihydrodiol formation, ketone formation, carboxylation, ester hydrolysis and glucosidation, alone and/or in combination. XLR-11 was transformed through hydroxylation, dihydroxylation, aldehyde formation, carboxylation, oxidative defluorination, oxidative defluorination to carboxylic acid and glucosidation, alone and/or in combination. UR-144 was metabolised by hydroxylation, dihydroxylation, trihydroxylation, aldehyde formation, ketone formation, carboxylation, N-dealkylation and combinations. These findings were consistent with previously reported human metabolism except for the small extent of ester hydrolysis observed and the absence of glucuronidation. Despite the limitations, C. elegans demonstrated the capacity to produce a wide variety of metabolites including some major human metabolites of XLR-11 and UR-144 at high abundance, showing the potential for metabolism of newly emerging synthetic cannabinoids.
