Nishiya, Takayoshi published the artcileInvolvement of cytochrome P450-mediated metabolism in tienilic acid hepatotoxicity in rats, Recommanded Product: 2-(2,3-Dichloro-4-(thiophene-2-carbonyl)phenoxy)acetic acid, the main research area is tienilic acid glutathione adduct hepatotoxicity CYP450.

Tienilic acid is reported to be converted into electrophilic metabolites by cytochrome P 450 (CYP) in vitro. In vivo, however, the metabolites have not been detected and their effect on liver function is unknown. We previously demonstrated that tienilic acid decreased the GSH level and upregulated genes responsive to oxidative/electrophilic stresses, such as heme oxygenase-1 (Ho-1), glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit (Gclm) and NAD(P)H dehydrogenase quinone 1 (Nqo1), in rat liver, as well as inducing hepatotoxicity by co-treatment with the glutathione biosynthesis inhibitor -buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine (BSO). In this study, for the first time, we identified a glutathione-tienilic acid adduct, a stable conjugate of putative electrophilic metabolites with glutathione (GSH), in the bile of rats given a single oral dose of tienilic acid (300 mg/kg). Furthermore, a tienilic acid-induced decrease in the GSH level and upregulation of Ho-1, Gclm and Nqo1 were completely blocked by pretreatment with the CYP inhibitor 1-aminobenzotriazole (ABT, 66 mg/kg, i.p.). The increase in the serum ALT level and hepatocyte necrosis resulting from the combined dosing of BSO and tienilic acid was prevented by ABT, despite a low hepatic GSH level. These findings suggest that the electrophilic metabolites of tienilic acid produced by CYP induce electrophilic/oxidative stresses in the rat liver and this contributes to the hepatotoxicity of tienilic acid under impaired GSH biosynthesis.
