Human plasma carboxylesterase 1, a novel serologic biomarker candidate for hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
AbstractTo identify and characterize a serologic glycoprotein biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), multi‐lectin affinity chromatography was used to isolate intracellular N‐linked glycoprotein fractions from five paired non‐tumor and tumor tissues.

Stereoselective Biotransformation: Transfer of Learning to Advance Drug Metabolism and Biocatalysis. [PDF]
Understanding stereoselective biotransformations has implications for predicting drug disposition and response and may also inspire novel biocatalytic and biomimetic strategies to address challenges in metabolite and API synthesis. ABSTRACT Chirality is an important determinant of drug action, as enantiomers can exhibit markedly different ...

Multisite Promiscuity in the Processing of Endogenous Substrates by Human Carboxylesterase 1 [PDF]
Human carboxylesterase 1 (hCE1) is a drug- and endobiotic-processing serine hydrolase that exhibits relatively broad substrate specificity. It has been implicated in a variety of endogenous cholesterol metabolism pathways including the following apparently disparate reactions: cholesterol ester hydrolysis (CEH), fatty acyl Coenzyme A hydrolysis (FACoAH)

Nomenclature for alleles of the human carboxylesterase 1 gene [PDF]
The carboxylesterase 1 gene (CES1) in humans encodes a hydrolase, which is implicated in the metabolism of several commonly used drugs 1. This gene is located on chromosome 16 with a highly homologous pseudogene, CES1P1, in its proximity. A duplicated segment of CES1 replaces most of CES1P1 in some individuals, thus leading to the formation of a hybrid

Inhibition behavior of fructus psoraleae’s ingredients towards human carboxylesterase 1 (hCES1) [PDF]
1. Fructus psoraleae (FP) is the dried ripe seeds of Psoralea corylifolia L. (Fabaceae) widely used in Asia, and has been reported to exert important biochemical and pharmacological activities. The adverse effects of FP remain unclear. The present study aims to determine the inhibition of human carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) by FP’s major ingredients ...

Potential Regulatory Role of Human-Carboxylesterase-1 Glycosylation in Liver Cancer Cell Growth [PDF]
We previously reported that human carboxylesterase 1 (CES1), a serine esterase containing a unique N-linked glycosyl group at Asn79 (N79 CES1), is a candidate serological marker of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). CES1 is normally present at low-to-undetectable levels in normal human plasma, HCC tumors, and major liver cancer cell lines.

In Vitro Drug Metabolism by Human Carboxylesterase 1: Focus on Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors [PDF]
Carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) is the major hydrolase in human liver. The enzyme is involved in the metabolism of several important therapeutic agents, drugs of abuse, and endogenous compounds. However, no studies have described the role of human CES1 in the activation of two commonly prescribed angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors: enalapril and ...

Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is a first-line prodrug for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) that is completely metabolized to monomethyl fumarate (MMF), the active metabolite, before reaching the systemic circulation.

Regulatory effects of genomic translocations at the human carboxylesterase-1 (CES1) gene locus. [PDF]
CES1 encodes carboxylesterase-1, an important drug-metabolizing enzyme with high expression in the liver. Previous studies have reported a genomic translocation of the 5' region from the poorly expressed pseudogene CES1P1, to CES1, yielding the structural variant CES1VAR.

Human Carboxylesterase 2 in Cocaine Metabolism [PDF]
Increased hydrolysis of cocaine to non-toxic compounds is a promising way to prevent cocaine-induced toxicity. However, the short half-life of cocaine in the blood and the rapid conversion in the body to the hydrolysis-resistant metabolite ...
