Bioactivation by Phase‐II‐Enzyme‐Catalyzed Conjugation of Xenobiotics

Abstract: Phase‐II‐enzyme‐catalyzed conjugation of xenobiotics with endogenous cofactors leads to hydrophilic derivatives that, in most cases, functions in the elimination and detoxification of xenobiotics from the body. However, this process can also mediate their bioactivation to chemically‐reactive and hence potentially toxic metabolites. The major conjugation reactions known to be involved in xenobiotic bioactivation are glucuronidation, sulfonation, acetylation, GSH conjugation, and acyl‐S‐CoA formation. Chemically… Show more

“…The introduction of polar groups by Phase I reactions provides sites that enable conjugation reactions, mediated by Phase II enzymes [ 5 , 7 , 17 , 18 ]. Although Phase II enzymes can directly act on the parent compound [ 19 ], typically Phase I-metabolites are conjugated with charged species, such as glucuronic acid, glutathione, sulfate, amino acids (glycine, taurine, glutamic acid), methyl or acetyl groups. Addition of these large anionic groups, which may detoxify reactive electrophiles (either parent compound or Phase I metabolite), produce Phase II metabolites, with increased hydrophilicity and molecular weight, which in larger part are not able to diffuse across phospholipid membrane barrier (reviewed in Jančová P, Šiller M, 2012) [ 6 , 10 , 11 , 13 , 19 , 20 ].…”

Phase III xenobiotic transporters excrete hydrophilic conjugates, with the anionic groups acting as affinity tags for a variety of membrane carriers belonging to two main clusters: ATP binding cassette (ABC), including the multidrug resistance protein (MRP) family, and solute carrier (SLC) transporters (reviewed in Döring B, Petzinger E, 2014) [ 21 , 22 , 23 ].…”

“…P450s catalyze a variety of reactions, including aliphatic and aromatic hydroxylation, N - or O -dealkylation, aliphatic desaturation, hetero atom oxidation, and epoxidation reactions [ 2 ]. The resulting metabolites can contain functional groups such as –OH, –NH 2 , and –SH which can undergo conjugation reactions by phase II enzymes, including UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs), sulfotransferases (SULTs), N -acetyltransferases (NATs), glutathione S -transferases (GSTs), and methyltransferases [ 3 ].…”

“…The data provided highlight specific non-P450 enzymes which require greater characterization. Greater knowledge of the involvement and importance of non-P450 enzymes can result in consideration of other factors for these enzymes, such as species differences, hepatic versus extrahepatic expression and metabolism, enzyme polymorphisms (Brian et al, 2016), likely DDIs, non-P450-mediated bioactivation (Grillo and Lyubimov, 2011;Hutzler and Cerny, 2012), as well as the development of in vitro assays to improve extrapolation to predict and understand in vivo CL for these non-P450 enzymes. Improving our understanding of these metabolic enzymes and biotransformations should result in fewer surprises being encountered during the drug discovery and development process, leading to safer drugs in the future.…”
