Liver microsomal epoxide hydrase. [PDF]
1. The substrate specificity of membrane-bound and purified epoxide hydrase from rat liver microsomes has been studied. Both enzyme preparations catalyzed the hydration of a variety of alkene oxidase as well as arene oxides of several polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. 2. Unlike the membrane-bound enzyme, the rate of hydration for most of the substrates

Enantioselective CE–MS analysis of ketamine metabolites in urine
Abstract The chiral drug ketamine has long‐lasting antidepressant effects with a fast onset and is also suitable to treat patients with therapy‐resistant depression. The metabolite hydroxynorketamine (HNK) plays an important role in the antidepressant mechanism of action.

Species Differences in Stereoselective Pharmacokinetics of HSG4112, A New Anti-Obesity Agent
HSG4112, a racemic drug, is a new anti-obesity agent. In this study, the stereoselective pharmacokinetics of HSG4112 were investigated in rats and dogs, and the underlying mechanism was investigated. The plasma concentrations of HSG4112(S) and HSG4112(R)

In Vitro Metabolism of Donepezil in Liver Microsomes Using Non-Targeted Metabolomics
Donepezil is a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor that is currently the most commonly prescribed drug for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. In general, donepezil is known as a safe and well-tolerated drug, and it was not associated with liver ...

Rat liver, liver homogenates, and microsome fractions separated therefrom were examined systematically in the electron microscope in sections of OsO4-fixed, methacrylate-embedded tissue and pellets. It was found that most microsomes are morphologically identical with the rough surfaced elements of the endoplasmic reticula of hepatic ...

Abstract Background and Aims Peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor α (PPARα) regulates fatty acid transport and catabolism in liver. However, the role of intestinal PPARα in lipid homeostasis is largely unknown. Here, intestinal PPARα was examined for its modulation of obesity and NASH. Approach and Results Intestinal PPARα was activated and fatty
