Abstract:
:The present paper describes the role of conjugating enzymes in the development of hepatotoxicity after administration of repeated doses of a novel monoamine oxidase type-A (MAO-A) inhibitor, (5R)-3-[2-(( 1S)-3-cyano-1-hydroxypropyl)benzothiazol-6-yl]-5-methoxymethyl-2-oxazolidinone (E2011). The effects of pretreatment with three kinds of conjugating enzyme inhibitors on hepatic lesions induced by E2011 were evaluated in female Sprague-Dawley rats. The inhibitors used were 2,6-dichloro-4-nitrophenol (DCNP; inhibitor of sulfotransferase (ST)), pentachlorophenol (PCP; inhibitor of both ST and acetyltransferase (AT)) or ranitidine (inhibitor of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UDP-GT)). Two weeks treatment of E2011 alone at an oral dosage of 150 mg/kg induced hepatocellular changes characterized by nuclear enlargement. Daily pretreatment with DCNP (10 mg/kg, i.p.) enhanced the E2011-induced hepatocellular changes accompanied by single cell necrosis. On the other hand, the hepatotoxicity was clearly diminished by PCP (5 mg/kg, i.p.). Ranitidine pretreatment had no effect. Protection by PCP was attributed to the inhibitory effects of AT in addition to ST; it was considered that the hepatocellular changes caused by E2011 were largely dependent on the formation of acetyl conjugate(s).
