KR-31543,(2S,3R,4S)-6-amino-4-[N-(4-chlorophenyl)-N-(2-methyl-2H-tetrazol-5-ylmethyl)amino]-3,4-dihydro-2-dimethoxymethyl-3-hydroxy-2-methyl-2H-1-benzopyran is a new neuroprotetive agent for ischemia-reperfusion damage. The in vitro and in vivo metabolism of KR-31543 in rats has been studied by LC-electrospray mass spectrometry. Rat liver microsomal incubation of KR-31543 in the presence of NADPH resulted in the formation of a metabolite M1. M1 was identified as N-(4-chlorophenyl)-N-(2-methyl-2H-tetrazol-5-ylmethyl)amine on the basis of LC-MS/MS analysis with the synthesized authentic standard. Rat CYP3A1 and 3A2 are the major CYP isozymes involved in the formation of M1.

The obesity is detrimental to the health of people living in affluent societies. Individual differences in energy metabolism are caused primarily by single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs), some of which promote the development of obesity-related type 2 diabetes mellitus. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a common multifactorial genetic syndrome, which is determined by several different genes and environmental factors. In this review, five major conclusions are reached: (1)To be clinically significant, SNPs must be relevant, prevalent, modifiable, and measurable. (2)Differences in SNPs may have been caused by famine, ultraviolet light, alcohol, climate, agricultural revolution. livestock, lactase persistence, and westernized lifestyle. (3)Candidate obesity genes of calorie intake restriction are SIM 1, MC3R, MC4R, AGRP, CART, CCK, CNTFR, DRD2, Ghrelin, 5-HT receptor, NPY, PON and those of energy metabolism are LEP, LEPR, UCP1, UCP2, UCP3, B2AR, B3AR, PGC-1, Androgen receptor and those of fat mobilization are AGT, ACE, ADA, APM1, Apolipoproteins, PPAR, FABP, FOXC2, GCGR, $11-{\beta}HSDI$, LDLR, Hormonal sensitive lipase, Perilipin, $TNF-{\alpha}$, $TNF-{\beta}$ (4)Candidate obesity genes in the eastern are NPY, LEP, LEPR, UCP1, UCP2, UCP3, B2AR, B3AR, ACE, APM1, PPAR, and FABP. (5)Candidate obesity genes in type 2 diabetes mellitus are MC3R, MC4R, B2AR, B3AR, ADA, APM1, PPAR, FABP, FOXC2, PC1, PC2, ABCC8, CAPN10, CYP19, CYP7, ENPP1, GCK, GYS1, IGF, IL-6, Insulin receptor, IRS, and LPL. The discovery of SNPs will lead to a greater understanding of the pathogenesis of obesity and to better diagnostics, treatment, and eventually prevention.

목 적: CYP1B1은 자궁내막증의 발생과 관련된 에스트로겐의 대사 및 dioxin의 대사 모두와 관련이 있는 유전자로 생각하여 자궁내막증의 발생위험과 CYP1B1의 codon 119G${\rightarrow}$T, 432G${\rightarrow}$C, 449T${\rightarrow}$C, 453A${\rightarrow}$G의 유전자 다형성과의 관계에 대해서 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법: 병리조직학적으로 자궁내막증 III기와 IV기임을 확인한 여성 199명과 대조군으로 자궁내막증 환자군과 연령이 비슷한 여성에서 양성 난소 낭종으로 수술을 시행하여 자궁내막증이 없음을 육안으로 확인한 183명을 대상으로 PCR 및 RFLP를 시행하여 CYP1B1의 codon 119G${\rightarrow}$T, 432C${\rightarrow}$G, 449T${\rightarrow}$C, 453A${\rightarrow}$G의 다형성을 조사하였다. 결 과: CYP1B1에서 $Ala^{l19}Ser$, $Va1^{432}Leu$, $Asn^{449}(T^{449}{\rightarrow}C)$, $Asn^{453}Ser$ 각각의 유전자 다형성은 그 분포와 위험도에 있어서 자궁내막증 환자와 대조군 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. CYP1B1에서 앞서 밝힌 4가지 codon의 다형성을 조합한 결과 GG/CC/CC/AA의 유전자형을 갖는 여성에 비해 GG/GC+GG/TC+TT/AA의 유전자형을 갖는 경우만이 자궁내막증의 위험도가 2.056 (95% CI: 1.003-4.216)으로 유의하게 높은 것을 알 수 있었다. 결 론: 이상으로 볼 때 한국인 여성에서 중증자궁내막증 발생은 CYP1B1의 유전적 다형성과 관련이 있는 것으로 보이며, 향후 자궁내막증의 발생 기전을 밝히는데 주요한 자료가 될 것으로 본다.

In this study, we obtained the fertilized eggs from goldfish(Carassius auratus) and observed normal developmental stage(from fertilized eggs to larvae) in non-exposed groups. Goldfish embryos at 3 h postfertilization(hpf) were statically exposed for 1 h to either dimethylsufoxide(DMSO, 0.1%, v/v) or TCDD($0.5{\mu}g/L$). Toxicity and morphological changes were characterized from 3 to 120 h postfertilization(hpf). Egg mortality($0{\sim}48$ hpf) and hatching ratio($72{\sim}83$ hpf) in TCDD-exposed group were significantly different from control groups. However, pericardial edema was first observed at 72 hpf, followed by the onset of yolk sac edema and mortality. In addition, goldfish embryos-larvae exposed to TCDD significantly increased TCDD-related gene such as CYP1A($24{\sim}72$ hpf) and AhR2(72 hpf). This is the first study about in-depth characterization of TCDD-induced developmental toxicity in goldfish(Carassius auratus).

비스페놀A(BPA)는 대표적인 내분비계 교란물질로 광범위한 사용으로 인해 환경 내에서 지속적으로 검출됨에 따라 인간을 비롯한 다양한 생물에서 성장, 발생, 생식 등에 유해한 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 BPA를 대체하기 위한 구조 유사체들이 개발되어 널리 사용되고 있으나 이러한 대체제들이 내분비계 교란 작용을 갖는지에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 BPA와 그 구조 유사체인 BPS와 BPF에 노출시킨 기수산 물벼룩 Diaphanosoma celebensis에서 탈피과정에 관여하는 ecdysteroid 합성(nvd, cyp314a1), receptors (EcRA, EcRB, USP, ERR), 그리고 하위 경로에 있는 유전자(HR3, E75, Vtg, VtgR)의 시간 별 발현 변화를 조사하였다. nvd와 cyp314a1 유전자의 발현은 BPA 보다 BPF에서 6시간 일찍 발현이 증가하는 양상을 보인 반면, BPS의 경우에는 이들 유전자의 발현이 24시간 내내 감소하는 양상을 보였다. BPA와 BPF 노출 시 EcR 유전자들의 발현 양상도 이와 유사한 경향을 보였다. ERR 유전자의 발현은 BPF와 BPS에서 BPA 보다 6시간 일찍 발현이 증가하는 양상을 보였고, HR3, E75, VtgR의 유전자 발현도 노출군에서 시간 차이는 있지만 유의하게 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 반면 Vtg는 24시간 이내에서는 크게 증가하지는 않았다. 이러한 결과는 BPA 뿐 아니라 BPF와 BPS도 탈피에 관여하는 호르몬의 합성 및 조절 경로의 유전자의 발현을 조절할 수 있으며, 서로 다른 기전으로 기수산 물벼룩의 내분비계를 교란시킬 수 있는 능력을 갖는다고 볼 수 있다. 본 연구는 비스페놀 구조 유사체가 기수산 물벼룩의 탈피과정에 관여하는 분자 경로 어떻게 영향을 미치는지를 이해하는데 도움이 될 것이다.

Background: Panax quinquefolius and Panax notoginseng are widely used and well known for their pharmacological effects. As main pharmacological components, saponins have different distribution patterns in the root tissues of Panax plants. Methods: In this study, the representative ginsenosides were detected and quantified by desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography analysis to demonstrate saponin distribution in the root tissues of P. quinquefolius and P. notoginseng, and saponin metabolite profiles were analyzed by metabolomes to obtain the biomarkers of different root tissues. Finally, the transcriptome analysis was performed to demonstrate the molecular mechanisms of saponin distribution by gene profiles. Results: There was saponin distribution in the root tissues differed between P. quinquefolius and P. notoginseng. Eight-eight and 24 potential biomarkers were detected by metabolome analysis, and a total of 340 and 122 transcripts involved in saponin synthesis that were positively correlated with the saponin contents (R > 0.6, P < 0.05) in the root tissues of P. quinquefolius and P. notoginseng, respectively. Among them, GDPS1, CYP51, CYP64, and UGT11 were significantly correlated with the contents of Rg1, Re, Rc, Rb2, and Rd in P. quinquefolius. UGT255 was markedly related to the content of R1; CYP74, CYP89, CYP100, CYP103, CYP109, and UGT190 were markedly correlated with the Rd content in P. notoginseng.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of ticlopidine on the pharmacokinetics of carvedilol after oral or intravenous administration of carvedilol in rats. Carvedilol was administered orally (3 mg/kg) or intravenously (1 mg/kg) without or with oral administration of ticlopidine (4, 12 mg/kg) to rats. The effects of ticlopidine on P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 activity were also evaluated. Ticlopidine inhibited CYP2C9 activity in a concentration-dependent manner with 50% inhibition concentration ($IC_{50}$) of $25.2\;{\mu}M$. In addition, ticlopidine could not significantly enhance the cellular accumulation of rhodamine 123 in MCF-7/ADR cells overexpressing P-gp. Compared with the control group (given carvedilol alone), the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) was significantly (12 mg/kg, p<0.05) increased by 14-41%, and the peak concentration ($C_{max}$) was significantly (12 mg/kg, p<0.05) increased by 10.7-73.3% in the presence of ticlopidine after oral administration of carvedilol. Consequently, the relative bioavailability (R.B.) of carvedilol was increased by 1.14- to 1.41-fold and the absolute bioavailability (A.B.) of carvedilol in the presence of ticlopidine was increased by 36.2-38.5%. Compared to the i.v. control, ticlopidine could not significantly change the pharmacokinetic parameters of i.v. administered carvedilol. The enhanced oral bioavailability of carvedilol may result from inhibition of CYP2C9-mediated metabolism rather than P-gpmediated efflux of carvedilol in the intestinal and/or in liver and renal eliminatin of carvedilol by ticlopidine.

본 연구는 다량으로 폐기되는 오이를 이용하기 위하여 개발한 오이 발효원액을 주원료로 제조한 숙취해소 음료의 간보호 효능을 검증하기 위하여 만성적으로 에탄올을 섭취시킨 흰쥐에서 에탄올 대사, 항산화 방어계, 간독성 관련지표 및 지질함량 변화를 살펴보았다. 실험동물은 4주령의 수컷 SD계 흰쥐 24마리를 1주간 고형식이로 적응시킨 후 난괴법에 의하여 에탄올대조군(Control) 및 에탄올 섭취 흰쥐에게 헛개열매 추출물을 주원료로 하여 개발한 숙취해소 물질인 SKM 급여군(SKM) 또는 SKM을 함유한 오이 발효음료 급여군(CF+SKM)으로 나누었다. SKM과 CF+SKM은 사람의 하루 섭취량을 기준으로 체중 kg당 7 mL씩 매일 일정시각에 경구투여 하였다. SKM과 CF+SKM은 체중과 식이섭취에는 영향을 미치지 않았으며, CF+SKM군의 신장무게가 대조군보다 낮았다. 혈장 중 에탄올 함량은 대조군에 비하여 CF+SKM군에서 유의적으로(p<0.05) 낮았으며, SKM군은 낮은 경향을 보였다. 혈장 중의 아세트알데히드 함량은 대조군에 비하여 SKM과 CF+SKM군 모두 각각 40.6%와 48.4% 유의적인(p<0.05) 개선 효과를 보였다. 간조직 중의 ADH 활성은 실험군간 유의적인 변화가 없었으나 CYP2E1 활성은 SKM과 CF+SKM 모두 대조군에 비하여 유의적으로 (p<0.05) 낮았다. 간조직의 CYP2E1 활성은 혈장 중의 아세트알데히드 함량과 양의 상관관계(r=0.566, p<0.01)였다. 간조직의 ALDH 활성은 SKM과 CF+SKM 모두 대조군에 비하여 유의적으로(p<0.05) 높았으며 혈장의 아세트알데히드 농도와 유의적 음의 상관관계(r=-0.564, p<0.01)를 보였다. SKM군과 CF+SKM군의 간조직내 SOD와 CAT 활성과 GSH 함량이 대조군에 비하여 유의적으로 높았다. 반면, SKM과 CF+SKM은 간조직 중의 지질과산화물 생성을 대조군에 비하여 각각 유의적으로 낮추었다. SKM과 CF+SKM 급여 시 에탄올대조군에 비하여 각각 AST 활성은 29%와 44% 낮았으며, ALT 활성은 42%와 34% 낮았다. 혈장의 총 콜레스테롤과 간조직의 콜레스테롤 함량은 대조군에 비하여 SKM과 CF+SKM군에서 유의적으로(p<0.05) 낮았으며 특히, CF+SKM의 간조직내 중성지질 함량은 대조군에 비하여 유의적으로(p<0.05) 낮았다. SKM군과 CF+SKM군의 간조직 중 지방축적이 대조군에 비하여 감소되었다. 이와 같이 SKM과 CF+SKM은 간조직의 CYP2E1 활성을 억제하고 ALDH 활성과 항산화 방어계를 향상시킴으로써 에탄올로 인한 간독성을 보호할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The role of particulate matter (PM) in health problems including cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and pneumonia is becoming increasingly clear. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, major components of PM, bind to aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhRs) and promote the expression of CYP1A1 through the AhR pathway in keratinocytes. Activation of AhRs in skin cells is associated with cell differentiation in keratinocytes and inflammation, resulting in dermatological lesions. Oleanolic acid, a natural component of L. lucidum, also has anti-inflammation, anticancer, and antioxidant characteristics. Previously, we found that PM10 induced the AhR signaling pathway and autophagy process in keratinocytes. Here, we investigated the effects of oleanolic acid on PM10-induced skin aging. We observed that oleanolic acid inhibits PM10-induced CYP1A1 and decreases the increase of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin 6 induced by PM10. A supernatant derived from keratinocytes cotreated with oleanolic acid and PM10 inhibited the release of matrix metalloproteinase 1 in dermal fibroblasts. Also, the AhR-mediated autophagy disruption was recovered by oleanolic acid. Thus, oleanolic acid may be a potential treatment for addressing PM10-induced skin aging.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ticlopidine on the pharmacokinetics of diltiazem and its active metabolite, desacetyldiltiazem, in rats. Pharmacokinetic parameters of diltiazem and desacetyldiltiazem were determined in rats after oral administration of diltiazem (15 $mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$) with ticlopidine (3 or 9 $mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$). The effects of ticlopidine on P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 activities were also evaluated. Ticlopidine inhibited CYP3A4 enzyme activity in a concentrationdependent manner with a 50% inhibition concentration ($IC_{50}$) of 35 ${\mu}M$. In addition, ticlopidine did not significantly enhance the cellular accumulation of rhodamine-123 in NCI/ADR-RES cells overexpressing P-gp. Compared with the control (given diltiazem alone), ticlopidine significantly altered the pharmacokinetic parameters of diltiazem. The peak concentration ($C_{max}$) and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of diltiazem were significantly (9 $mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$, p<0.05) increased in the presence of ticlopidine. The AUC of diltiazem was increased by 1.44-fold in rats in the presence of ticlopidine (9 $mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$). Consequently, the absolute bioavailability (A.B.) of diltiazem in the presence of ticlopidine (9.3-11.5%) was signifi cantly higher (9 $mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$, p<0.05) than that in the control group (8.0%). Although ticlopidine significantly (p<0.05) increased the AUC of desacetyldiltiazem, the metabolite-parent AUC ratio (M.R.) in the presence of ticlopidine (9 $mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$) was significantly decreased compared to that in the control group, implying that ticlopidine could effectively inhibit the metabolism of diltiazem. In conclusion, the concomitant use of ticlopidine significantly enhanced the oral bioavailability of diltiazem in rats by inhibiting CYP3A4-mediated metabolism in the intestine and/or liver rather than by inhibiting intestinal P-gp activity or renal elimination of diltiazem.
