Abstract

Human cytochrome P450 3A4 is the most abundant isoform of P450 enzyme in the liver. It plays an important role in the metabolism of wide variety of xenobiotic and endogenous substrates. So far, there are few reports about the functional characterization of CYP3A4 variants in terms of specific substrates. The aim of this study was to systematically investigate the genetic polymorphisms of 23 CYP3A4 alleles and evaluate their catalytic activities on the metabolism of lidocaine in vitro. The wild-type and 22 CYP3A4 variants were expressed in Spodoptera frugiperda 21 insect cells. Then the insect microsomes were incubated with the CYP3A4-specific substrate lidocaine. Reactions were performed with 50-3,000 µM for 60 min at 37°C. Lidocaine and its metabolite monoethylglycinexylidide were analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry system. Of the 23 CYP3A4 allelic variants tested, 2 variants (CYP3A4*17 and CYP3A4*30) had no detectable enzyme activity; and 5 variants (CYP3A4*2, CYP3A4*5, CYP3A4*9, CYP3A4*16 and CYP3A4*24) showed significantly decreased intrinsic clearance values compared with wild-type CYP3A4*1. As the first study of all these CYP3A4 alleles for lidocaine metabolism, our results in vitro assessment may provide novel insights into the allele-specific and substrate-specific activity of CYP3A4 and may also offer a reference to the personalized treatment of lidocaine in a clinical setting.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 August 2018.
All research outputs
#22,764,772
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Drug Design, Development and Therapy
#1,753
of 2,268 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#384,359
of 444,941 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Drug Design, Development and Therapy
#31
of 45 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,268 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.1. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 444,941 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 45 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
