Dexamethasone-Mediated Regulation of CYP3A4 and UGTs in Human Hepatoma HuH-7 Cells. [PDF]

Fundam Clin Pharmacol
ABSTRACT Background The application of human hepatic cell lines to early drug discovery and development instead of human primary hepatocytes (HPHs) has been limited because of the low level of drug‐metabolizing enzymes (DMEs). Objective The study aimed to evaluate the effects of dexamethasone (DEX) treatment on DME expression, activities, and ...

Molecular targeting of the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase enzymes in high-eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E refractory/relapsed acute myeloid leukemia patients: a randomized phase II trial of vismodegib, ribavirin with or without decitabine

Haematologica, 2023
Drug resistance underpins poor outcomes in many malignancies including refractory and relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML). Glucuronidation is a common mechanism of drug inactivation impacting many AML therapies, e.g., cytarabine, decitabine ...

Effect of Efavirenz on UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase 1A1, 1A4, 1A6, and 1A9 Activities in Human Liver Microsomes

Molecules, 2012
Efavirenz is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor used for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infections. Drug interactions of efavirenz have been reported due to in vitro inhibition of CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP3A4, and UDP ...

Duplication, Loss, and Evolutionary Features of Specific UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase Genes in Carnivora (Mammalia, Laurasiatheria)

Animals, 2022
UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) are one of the most important enzymes for xenobiotic metabolism or detoxification. Through duplication and loss of genes, mammals evolved the species-specific variety of UGT isoforms. Among mammals, Carnivora is one of

Determination of major UDP-glucuronosyltransferase enzymes and their genotypes responsible for 20-HETE glucuronidation[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2014
The compound 20-HETE is involved in numerous physiological functions, including blood pressure and platelet aggregation. Glucuronidation of 20-HETE by UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) is thought to be a primary pathway of 20-HETE elimination in humans.

In vivo metabolism of ibuprofen in growing conventional pigs : a pharmacokinetic approach [PDF]

, 2019
The juvenile conventional pig has been suggested as a preclinical animal model to evaluate pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), and safety parameters in children. However, a lot of developmental changes in pig physiology still need to be unraveled.
