- Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To identify the specific cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes involved in the metabolism of dipfluzine hydrochloride (Dip) in the rat liver microsomes. METHODS: The rat liver microsomes were prepared and incubated with Dip. The Dip metabolites (M1, M2, M4 and M5) were identified by LC-MS/MS, and the CYP isoenzymes were identified by the combination of the selective CYP inhibitor study, correlation analysis and a panel of recombinant rat CYP expereiment, respectively. RESULTS: The results from the experiments of selective CYP inhibitors, correlation analysis and recombinant rat CYP isoenzymes indicated that CYP2A1, CYP3A and CYP2C11 contributed to the formation of M1 and M5 in the rat liver microsomes. CYP3A, CYP2A1, CYP1A2, CYP2C11 and CYP2E1 metabolized Dip to M2. CYP3A, CYP2A1, CYP2E1 and CYP2C11 contributed to M4 formation. And the recombinant rat CYP researches further indicated that CYP3A2 exhibited more activity than CYP3A1. CONCLUSION: CYP3A and CYP2A1 are the major CYP isoenzymes responsible for catalyzing Dip to the four metabolites formation in the rat liver microsomes.
