摘要：FK228 (FR901228, depsipeptide) is a potent histone deacetylase inhibitor currently in phase II clinical trials for cancer treatment. In the present study, the cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes responsible for FK228 metabolism in human liver microsomes were investigated. Incubation with human liver microsomes in the presence of an NADPH-generating system revealed that FK228 is metabolized to at least 10 different metabolites. K _m and V _max values for FK228 disappearance were 20.3 μ M and 561.9 pmol/min/mg protein, respectively. Further studies were performed at a substrate concentration of 10 μ M (half the K _m value for FK228 disappearance). FK228 disappearance activities in human liver microsomes from 12 individuals strongly correlated ( r ²=0.957) with testosterone 6β-hydroxylase activities, a marker enzyme activity of CYP3A4/5, but not with other P450 enzyme-specific activities (CYP1A2, 2A6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 4A). Among 14 recombinant heterologously expressed human P450s examined, CYP3A4 exhibited the highest activity of FK228 disappearance. CYP3A5, 1A1, 2B6, and 2C19 showed 16.8%, 5.2%, 1.6%, and 1.3% of the activity of CYP3A4, respectively. Other P450s showed no significant metabolic activity toward FK228. In addition, FK228 disappearance in human liver microsomes was markedly inhibited by ketoconazole, a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor, and an anti-CYP3A4 antibody. These results indicate that the metabolism of FK228 in human liver microsomes is catalyzed mainly by CYP3A enzymes, particularly CYP3A4.
