Biological Activity
|
CYP2 |
CYP2D6 reveals the highest metabolic activity for the generation of 9-O-demethylEmetine, whereas this enzyme also shows a significant metabolic activity for the generation of Cephaeline. The IC50s of Cephaeline against CYP2C9, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 is over 1000, 121 and 1000 μM, respectively. Further experiments are performed to determine inhibition constants (Ki) for Cephaeline on the CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 activities Graphic analysis of Dixon plots at various Cephaeline concentrations for each of the two CYP enzyme assays yield Kis of 54 and 355 μM for CYP2D6 and CYP3A4, respectively[1].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (3.86 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly:
It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Protocol
Cephaeline is dissolved in methanol to give concentrations of 0.1, 1, 10, 100 μM (only theophylline-O-demethylase activity with Cephaeline; 0.0985, June 2001 679 0.985, 9.85, 98.5 μM) [1].
Human liver microsomal protein is incubated with the selected marker substrates in the absence and presence of above concentrations of Cephaeline or Emetine (1-100 μM, only theophylline-O-demethylase activity with Cephaeline; 0.0985—98.5 μM, final concentration). Incubation conditions are chosen such that the product formation is linear with respect to both incubation times and protein concentrations, with substrate concentrations being at or below the Km for each enzyme. The effects of furafylline, sulphaphenazole, tranylcypromine, quinidine, and ketoconazole, selective inhibitors of CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4, respectively, are also determined in the same microsomal samples to provide comparisons with inhibitory potentials (IC50) of Cephaeline and Emetine towards the individual CYP form. The Ki s for Cephaeline and Emetine are determined by using the same pooled microsomal sample. This is achieved by varying the initial substrate concentrations (bufuralol 8, 16 and 32 μM; testosterone 45, 90 and 180u M) and using several inhibitor concentrations of 10, 50, and 100 μM. The Kis are estimated by graphic analysis of Dixon plots. These values are subsequently used as initial estimates for the nonlinear least-squares regression analysis[1].
