Minoletti, Claire published the artcileComparison of the Substrate Specificities of Human Liver Cytochrome P450s 2C9 and 2C18: Application to the Design of a Specific Substrate of CYP 2C18, Synthetic Route of 40180-04-9, the main research area is substrate specificity liver cytochrome P450 2C18; aroylthiophene P450 hydroxylation substrate preparation.
A series of 2-aroylthiophenes derived from tienilic acid by replacement of its OCH2COOH substituent with groups bearing various functions have been synthesized and studied as possible substrates of recombinant human liver cytochrome P450s 2C9 and 2C18 expressed in yeast. Whereas only compounds bearing a neg. charge acted as substrates of CYP 2C9 and were hydroxylated at position 5 of their thiophene ring at a significant rate, many neutral 2-aroylthiophenes were 5-hydroxylated by CYP 2C18 with kcat values of >2 min-1. Among the various compounds that were studied, those bearing an alc. function were the best CYP 2C18 substrates. One of them, compound 3, which bears a terminal O(CH2)3OH function, appeared to be a particularly good substrate of CYP 2C18. It was regioselectively hydroxylated by CYP 2C18 at position 5 of its thiophene ring with a KM value of 9 ± 1 μM and a kcat value of 125 ± 25 min-1, which are the highest described so far for a CYP 2C. A comparison of the oxidations of 3, by yeast-expressed CYP 1A1, 1A2, 2C8, 2C9, 2C18, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, 3A4, and 3A5, showed that only CYP 2C8, 2C18, and 2C19 were able to catalyze the 5-hydroxylation of 3. However, the catalytic efficiency of CYP 2C18 for that reaction was considerably higher (kcat/KM value being 3-4 orders of magnitude larger than those found for CYP 2C8 and 2C19). Several human P450s exhibited small activities for the oxidative O-dealkylation of 3. The four recombinant CYP 2Cs were the best catalysts for that reaction (kcat between 1 and 5 min-1) when compared to all the P450s that were tested, even though it is a minor reaction in the case of CYP 2C18. All these results show that compound 3 is a new, selective, and highly efficient substrate for CYP 2C18 that should be useful for the study of this P 450 in various organs and tissues. They also suggest some key differences between the active sites of CYP 2C9 and CYP 2C18 for substrate recognition.
