Abstract：
PURPOSE:Indomethacin is well known to be metabolized via O-demethylation and N-deacylation. In this paper we found an enzyme involved in the hydrolysis of amide-linkage of indomethacin and partially characterized it as well as its substrate specificity. METHODS:An indomethacin hydrolyzing enzyme was purified to homogeneity from pig liver microsomes using columns of Q-Sepharose, Red-Sepharose and Blue-Sepharose. The enzyme activity was assayed by measuring of rho-chlorobenzoic acid liberated from indomethacin by HPLC. RESULTS:The purified enzyme effectively hydrolyzed the amide linkage in indomethacin but not those in alpha-naphthylacetate and rho-nitrophenylacetate, which are typical substates for carboxylesterase. The subunit molecular mass of the enzyme was 65 kDa according SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The Michaelis constant (K(m)) and maximum velocity (Vmax) values for indomethacin were 67.8 microM and 9.02 nmol/min/mg protein, respectively. The amino acid sequence analysis of the enzyme after cyanogen bromide cleavage showed high homology with a mouse carboxylesterase isozyme designated as ES-male. The activity of indomethacin hydrolysis was relatively high in the pig, rabbit and human liver homogenate, but not in those from rat and mouse. On the other hand, purified human liver carboxylesterases pl 5.3 and 4.5, and pig liver carboxylesterases have no catalytic activity for indomethacin. CONCLUSIONS:These results indicate that the hydrolysis of amide-linkage of indomethacin in humans would be associated with an enzyme similar to the indomethacin hydrolyzing enzyme from pig liver microsomes described here.
