In vitrotransformation of dithiopyr by rat liver enzymes: Conversion of methylthioesters to acids by oxygenases

Abstract: 1. Transformation of dithiopyr by rat liver enzymes in vitro produced the corresponding monoacids as the predominant metabolites. 2. Transformations of the methylthioester functional groups in dithiopyr to the monoacids were mediated via rat liver microsomal oxygenases, and not via esterases. 3. Based on the formation of a dithiopyr-glutathione conjugate, the mechanism of monoacid formation is believed to proceed through an initial sulphur oxidation of the methylthioester group and a subsequent nucleophilic di… Show more

“…In an effort to develop a mechanism-based agent that would bind covalently to the protein when oxidized at the w-2-position, we synthesized the monoethyl thioesters of dodecanedioic and hexadecanedioic acids. Although thioesters have not been investigated previously as mechanism-based inactivating agents for cytochrome P450 enzymes, it has been shown that thioester oxidation produces species that react with water to give the corresponding acids or with gutathione to give glutathione conjugates (Chen et al, 1979;Feng & Solsten, 1991).…”

“…Examples of concurrent metabolism via both sulphur and oxygenated functional groups have been reported for various substrates (Black et al, 1993;Feng and Solsten, 1991;Gachon et al, 1988;Karim El Fatih et al, 1988). In all of them, the predominance of S-oxidation pathway has been reported.…”
