An in Vitro Evaluation of Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) on the Catalytic Activity of Carboxylesterase 1 (CES1)

Chemico-Biological Interactions, 2023
Kratom, (Mitragyna Speciosa Korth.) is a plant indigenous to Southeast Asia whose leaves are cultivated for a variety of medicinal purposes and mostly consumed as powders or tea in the United States. Kratom use has surged in popularity with the lay public and is currently being investigated for possible therapeutic benefits including as a treatment for

Natural Products as Modulators of CES1 Activity

Drug Metabolism and Disposition, 2020
Carboxylesterase (CES) 1 is the predominant esterase expressed in the human liver and is capable of catalyzing the hydrolysis of a wide range of therapeutic agents, toxins, and endogenous compounds. Accumulating studies have demonstrated associations between the expression and activity of CES1 and the pharmacokinetics and/or pharmacodynamics of CES1 ...

Human Carboxylesterases: An Update on CES1, CES2 and CES3

Protein & Peptide Letters, 2009
Carboxylesterases belong to Phase I group of drug metabolizing enzymes. They hydrolyze a variety of drug esters, amides, carbamates and similar structures. There are five 'carboxylesterase' genes listed in the Human Genome Organization database. In this review, we will focus on the CES1, CES2 and CES3 genes and their protein products that have been ...

Carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) genetic polymorphisms and oseltamivir activation

European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 2012
Carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) is the major hepatic hydrolytic enzyme responsible for the metabolism of many therapeutic agents, toxins, and endogenous compounds existing as esters, amides, thioesters, and carbamates. CES1 is coded by the CES1 gene in humans, which consists of three isoforms: CES1A1, CES1A2, and CES1A3.

The effect of carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) polymorphisms on the pharmacokinetics of oseltamivir in humans

European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 2012
The aim of this study was to examine whether carboxylesterase 1 (CES1A) genetic polymorphisms affect the pharmacokinetics of oseltamivir.Thirty healthy Japanese male and female subjects ranging in age from 20 to 36 years voluntarily participated in this study.

Es-x/Ces1 prevents triacylglycerol accumulation in McArdle-RH7777 hepatocytes

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2009
Mouse esterase-x/carboxylesterase 1 (Es-x/Ces1) is a close homolog of triacylglycerol hydrolase/carboxylesterase 3 (TGH/Ces3). Es-x possesses a conserved esterase/lipase active site motif, suggesting that like TGH it could play a role in hepatic triacylglycerol (TG) metabolism.

Pharmacogenetic study of CES1 gene and enalapril efficacy

Journal of Applied Genetics
Enalapril is an orally administered angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor which is widely prescribed to treat hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and heart failure. It is an ester prodrug that needs to be activated by carboxylesterase 1 (CES1). CES1 is a hepatic hydrolase that in vivo biotransforms enalapril to its active form enalaprilat in order ...

Genetic variation in human carboxylesterase CES1 confers resistance to hepatic steatosis

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2018
Obesity often leads non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, insulin resistance and hyperlipidemia. Expression of carboxylesterase CES1 is positively correlated with increased lipid storage and plasma lipid concentration. Here we investigated structural and metabolic consequences of a single nucleotide polymorphism in CES1 gene that results in p.Gly143Glu ...
