Clinical studies to evaluate the need and extent of dose-reductions of irinotecan in patients with the Gilbert's syndrome are ongoing. Many xenobiotics, including drugs from almost all classes of therapeutic agents, are glucuronidated directly. Not only for the UGT1A gene, which reduces bilirubin glucuronidation, leading to genetic hyperbilirubinaemia (the Crigler-Najjar and Gilbert's syndromes), but also for 3 other UGT isoforms. By continuing you agree to the use of cookies. UDP-glucuronosyltransferases and clinical drug-drug interactions. PCB/TCDD exposure of perinatal and adult rats increased biliary excretion of T4 by inducing the enzyme T4-uridine diphosphoglucuronyl-transferase (UDP-UGT), thereby increasing hepatic T4 glucuronidation (Brouwer et al., 1998; Bastomsky, 1977; Klaassen and Hood, 2001). The major deactivation and elimination pathway of AASs is through glucuronide conjugation, chiefly catalyzed by the UGT2B17 enzyme, followed by excretion in urine. 90:5-22." Ethnic differences in genetic polymorphisms in UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 ( UGT1A1 ) were investigated among African-Americans, Caucasians, and Japanese using samples obtained from 150 individuals for each population. This variation likely reflects differences due to age, disease state, and exposure to various inducing agents as well as genetic differences. Alternatively, a drug must acquire one of these functional groups by undergoing phase I metabolism. Of these, UGT2B15 and UGT2B17 are expressed in the prostate where they are proposed to modulate steroid action. 8) are two pathways through which sex hormones are metabolized to less active compounds. The metabolism of irinotecan can be influenced by inhibitors and inducers of UGT; valproic acid (an inhibitor of glucuronidation) given 5 min before CPT-11 administration caused a 99% inhibition in the formation of SN-38G in rats, resulting in a mean increase in SN-38 AUC of 270%. Glucuronidation is one of the most important reactions for the elimination of xenobiotics from the body, although not as yet well studied in the case of pesticides or the phase I metabolites of pesticides. 2007). • For drug metabolism, the most important polymorphisms are those of the genes coding for CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4/5, which can result in therapeutic failure or severe adverse reactions. Originally published Jun 3, 2015 Mutation Res. Serious adverse events associated with chloramphenicol toxicity in the neonate have highlighted the importance of developmental changes in UGT activity. Gilbert’s syndrome is a benign, mild, unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia that has been linked to a genetic variant of the human UGT1A1 gene. The N-terminal half of these molecules is believed to convey specificity for the various aglycone substrates. However, the impact of these genetic differences on drug metabolism remains to be established because of overlapping isoform specificity of the drugs studied, … Three forms of inheritable unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia exist in man; More and more drugs of this type (e.g., antihistamines and neuroleptics) are found to undergo this reaction to a marked extent in humans, as illustrated by the N-glucuronide of imipramine (13) [25]. drome)4) and decreases the glucuronidation of SN-38 (a pharmaco-logically active metabolite of the anticancer drug, irinotecan), leading to an increased risk for the development of severe irinotecan-associated toxicity.12) Some genetic polymorphisms of drug-metabolizing enzymes in humans are associated with a Waidyanatha S, Collins BJ, Cunny H, Aillon K, Riordan F, Turner K, McBride S, Betz L, Sutherland V. Toxicol Appl Pharmacol. In general, glucuronidation is the preferred reaction in humans. Unconjugated bilirubin makes its way to the liver, where the phase 2 glucuronidation pathway conjugates bilirubin through the action of the enzyme UGT1a1. AAPS J. Genetic predisposition to the metabolism of irinotecan (CPT-11). Conjugation has historically received less attention than cytochrome P450 metabolism. As listed in Table 24.5, the enzyme catalyzing this reaction consists of a number of proteins coded by genes of the UGT superfamily [25,63–66]. Copyright © 2021 Elsevier B.V. or its licensors or contributors. 2006, Toxicol. Sulfadimethoxine (11) exemplifies the N-glucuronidation of amides. Studies evaluating bilirubin and chloramphenicol glucuronidation have reported low rates at birth, with adult rates achieved by age 3 years.79 However, some evidence indicates that phenobarbital may induce glucuronidation in newborns and older children. -, Br J Clin Pharmacol. Genetic polymorphisms of all human GSH transferases are known, ranging from single nucleotide polymorphisms to complete absence of both gene copies. Human null phenotypes for certain class mu and theta enzymes have been known for some time and, … 1979 Dec 15;184(3):705-7 In contrast to the UGT1 family, amino acid differences occur throughout the length of glucuronosyltransferase belonging to the UGT2 family. Second in importance to O-glucuronides are the N-glucuronides formed from amides and amines. Unlike glucuronidation, sulfation does not facilitate the excretion of TH, but interferes with the deiodination process. A drug must possess a specific functional group, such as a carboxyl, hydroxyl, amine, or sulfhydryl, in order to be conjugated. O-glucuronidation is often in competition with O-sulfonation, with the latter reaction predominating at low doses and the former at high doses. Indirect evidence for the multiplicity of UGTs includes differences in the content of UGT isoforms expressed in various tissues (Chowdhury et al. To date, at least 15 isoforms of human UGTs have been identified by molecular cloning techniques (http://som.flinders.edu.au). Glucuronidation reactions are catalyzed by a family of enzymes called uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs), which likely evolved in response to the need to excrete lipophilic compounds from the body. 2005). This finding correlated well with a downward trend in serum bilirubin in the group receiving IM bilirubin. 1992 Mar;15(3):532-44 Genetic Polymorphism Defined . The UGT2 family comprises only three members, and these are primarily steroid-metabolizing isoforms of UGTs. Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. Glucuronidation is a major pathway of xenobiotic biotransformation in most mammalian species, and requires the cofactor uridine diphosphate-glucuronic acid.68,117 The reaction is metabolized by UGTs (also called glucuronyltransferases), which are present in many tissues.68,117 The site of glucuronidation is generally an electron-rich nucleophilic heteroatom (oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur).68 Human UGTs are a family of enzymes that detoxify many hundreds of compounds by their conjugation to glucuronic acid, rendering them harmless, more water-soluble, and, hence, excretable. 1995; Udomuksorn et al. eCollection 2020. 1992). morphine, paracetamol (acetaminophen)] but also capable of the biotransformation of important endogenous substrates (e.g. Glucuronidation catalyzed by UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT; ref. Alex Sparreboom, ... Jaap Verweij, in Anticancer Drug Development, 2002. The UGTs are not only involved in the metabolism of many drugs [e.g. Both SN-38 and bilirubin are conjugated by UGT1A1. 1985; Pacifici et al. UGT2A is expressed in olfactory epithelium, and UGT2B is expressed in the liver, kidney, breast, lung, and prostate. The activity of a number of UGTs is decreased in the fetus and neonate, as assessed by in vitro studies.73–75 In addition, there is ample in vivo evidence of deficient glucuronidation in infants and particularly neonates. 1992; Esteban and Perez-Mateo 1999). As sulfation is a major regulation pathway of T4 in the fetus, the interference of these metabolites with T4 sulfation may have consequences for fetal development, and in particular for brain development (Brouwer et al., 1998). Interestingly, a decrease in glucuronidation of acetaminophen has been noted in individuals with Gilbert’s syndrome (de Morais et al. Genetic polymorphism is referred to the discontinuous interspecies genetic variability among individuals having distinct alleles on a particular locus. Unconjugated bilirubin makes its way to the liver, where the phase 2 glucuronidation pathway conjugates bilirubin through the action of the enzyme UGT1a1. Glucuronidation by UDP glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) plays an important role in the elimination of a wide variety of drugs and endogenous compounds. Up to now, two UGT families have been identified: UGT1 and UGT2, which are further classified into subfamilies. TH concentrations are decreased by enhanced liver glucuronidation, which is the rate-limiting step in biliary excretion of T4 and T3 (Sewall et al., 1995). Longitudinal wastewater sampling in buildings reveals temporal dynamics of metabolites. 2007). 1991). 1997). 1988), differential induction of UGTs by xenobiotics, ontogenetic development (Coughtrie et al. Epub 2013 Sep 27. Epub 2020 Dec 15. It is the most important pathway for the human body's elimination of the most frequently prescribed drugs. It involves the transfer of glucuronic acid from the cofactor UDP-glucuronic acid to functional groups, in particular hydroxyl groups, of the substrates. We investigated whether a genetic polymorphism in UGT1A1 (UGT1A1*28), associated with a reduced UGT1A1 enzyme activity, may have a risk‐modifying effect on head and neck carcinogenesis. In man the cytochrome P-450 isozyme system exhibits considerable polymorphism. Phase II enzyme groups have been studied far less than CYP450 enzymes; therefore the ontogeny of phase II enzymes remains relatively elusive. Genetic polymorphisms have been identified for the UGT family. Genetic polymorphisms have been identified for the UGT family. AN OVERVIEW OF THE GLUCURONIDATION PATHWAY, UGT ENZYMES AND THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO DRUG METABOLISM The glucuronidation system, discovered more than 60 years ago by the pioneering work of Prof. eCollection 2019. • For drug metabolism, the most important polymorphisms are those of the genes coding for CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4/5, which can result in therapeutic failure or severe adverse reactions. Variation in the complement of these UGTs may result in dramatic differences in the safe elimination of toxic metabolites. Glucuronidation is responsible for converting lipophilic (fat loving) xenobiotics and endogenous substances into metabolites that are more water soluble and therefore more easily excreted by the body in the urine or bile. 2008). In this study, we investigated whether genetic polymorphisms in ABCB1, CYP1A2, and UGT1A4 are associated with this observed ANS dysfunction. A 10-fold difference in the rate of glucuronidation of various xenobiotics is not uncommon in a healthy human population (Herman et al. It is a major source of variable metabolism and linked events such as response to drugs and toxic substances. Also, UGT1A1 genotyping might be used for individualization of CPT-11 dosages (Iyer and Ratain, 1998). This variant, UGT1A1(*)28, is found in approximately 40% of Caucasoid individuals (Strassburg 2008). It is presumed that there are interindividual differences in ANS dysfunction that correspond to pharmacogenetics. The human UDPGA transferases (UGT) known to metabolize xenobiotics are the products of two gene families, UGT1 and UGT2. This is a fundamental pathway that is important in how well your body functions. The Nrf2 (Nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor) signaling pathway regulates the expression of antioxidants and phase II detoxification enzymes. Genetic inheritance, age, and environmental factors largely determine the different profiles of the inducible hepatic UGTs. For most drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs), the functional consequences of genetic polymorphisms have been examined. Ernest Hodgson, in Pesticide Biotransformation and Disposition, 2012. UGTs: Polymorphisms! This is due to the mechanism of the reaction being a nucleophilic substitution with inversion of configuration (SN2). Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences of UGTs cloned from mammalian species indicates that these enzymes may be split into two families based on similarity of amino acid sequences (>50% identity) (Mackenzie et al. The zwitterionic N-glucuronides are those of nicotine (12; X=2H), cotinine (12; X=O), and imipramine (13). Sulfated THs strongly facilitate the IRD activity of D1 while they inhibit the D2, D3 activity, and the ORD of D1 (Moreno et al., 1994; Visser T. J., 1990). Nowell and Falany. CYTOCHROME P4502D6 Metabolic pathways of irinotecan (CPT-11). Prediction of deleterious non-synonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms of human uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase genes. Not only for the UGT1A gene, which reduces bilirubin glucuronidation, leading to genetic hyperbilirubinaemia (the Crigler-Najjar and Gilbert's syndromes), but also for 3 other UGT isoforms. Gamage et al. Stingl JC, Bartels H, Viviani R, Lehmann ML, Brockmöller J. Pharmacol Ther. Glucuronidation is responsible for converting xenobiotics (foreign substances), and endogenous substances into metabolites that are more easily excreted by the body in the urine or bile. For drug metabolism, the most important polymorphisms are those of the genes coding for CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4/5, which can result in therapeutic failure or severe adverse reactions. Kauffman, in Comprehensive Toxicology, 2010. 394430 Ensembl ENSG00000241119 ENSMUSG00000090165 UniProt O60656 n/a RefSeq (mRNA) NM_021027 NM_201641 RefSeq (protein) NP_066307 n/a Location (UCSC) Chr 2: 233.67 – 233.77 Mb n/a PubMed search Wikidata View/Edit Human View/Edit Mouse UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1-9 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the UGT1A9 gene. This gene encodes a UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, an enzyme of the glucuronidation pathway that transforms small lipophilic molecules, such as steroids, bilirubin, hormones, and drugs, into water-soluble, excretable metabolites. Baseline unconjugated bilirubin correlated with both neutropenia and the AUCs of irinotecan and SN-38, and might be useful in individualizing dose prescription or adaptation. USA.gov. 1983) and cloning and expression of different forms of UGTs (Ritter et al. One group received phenobarbital intramuscularly and one group received phenobarbital orally; one group served as a control. The most extensively studied endogenous substrate that is glucuronidated is bilirubin (Jansen et al. Cancer patients with Crigler–Najjar syndrome are thus at high risk for irinotecan-mediated toxicities, such as severe delayed-type diarrhea and myelosuppression, since UGT does not detoxify SN-38. Because if epigenetics did not require chromosome association, every genetic pathway that included a positive-feedback loop would be epigenetic. Contents 1 Function 2 Interactive pathway … non-inducible and exhibits genetic polymorphism ∴ poor metabolisers experience little analgesia ~10% UK population and ~30% Hong Kong Chinese population are poor metabolisers Fast metabolisers ! These metabolites are quite reactive, rearranging to positional isomers and binding covalently to plasma and seemingly also to tissue proteins [68]. CYP3A4, cytochrome P-450 3A4; CE, carboxylesterase; UGT 1A1/7, UDP glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 and 1A7; β-GLU, bacterial β-glucuronidase; APC/NPC, oxidative metabolites; SN-38G, the β-glucuronide metabolite of SN-38. Clearly, an information gap exists regarding the developmental and genetic aspects of UGT regulation and its potential impact on therapy. The enzyme catalyses the meta­ bolism of some tricyclic antidepressants and barbiturates (see Table 2). Multiple forms of the enzyme have been observed in most species studied. Conjugation of bilirubin with glucuronide is essential to prevent circulating unconjugated bilirubin from crossing the blood–brain barrier and causing kernicterus and irreversible neurological damage. Although glucuronidation is conventionally thought of as a phase II type reaction acting on hydroxylated products generated via monooxygenation, glucuronidation is often the initial biotransformation step in the metabolism of many xenobiotics. Role of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase isoform 1A1 in the glucuronidation of its active metabolite (SN-38) in human liver microsomes.
