摘要: Morphine elimination involves UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) catalyzed conjugation with glucuronic acid to form morphine 3- and 6-glucuronides (M3G M6G, respectively). It has been proposed that UGT2B7 is the major enzyme involved in these reactions, but there evidence suggest other isoforms also catalyze glucuronidation man. Thus, we have characterized selectivity kinetics of M3G M6G formation by recombinant human UGTs. UGT 1A1, 1A3, 1A6, 1A8, 1A9, 1A10, 2B7 all formation, only formed M6G. The UGT1A family was consistent a single Michaelis-Menten model, apparent Km values ranging from 2.6 37.4 mM. In contrast, exhibited atypical kinetics. may be described model high- low-affinity (0.42 8.3 mM for M3G, 0.97 7.4 M6G) fitting biphasic model. However, multisite an interaction between two identical binding sites negative cooperative manner provides more realistic approach modeling data. According this respective affinities (Ks) were 1.76 1.41 mM, respectively. These data used as selective probe activity, appears involve simultaneous substrate molecules, highlighting need careful analysis vitro.
