Abstract

Background: Carbon-carbon bond cleavage of a saturated aliphatic moiety is rarely seen in xenobiotic metabolism. Olanexidine (Olanedine®), containing an n-octyl (C8) side chain, was mainly metabolized to various shortened side chain (C4 to C6) acid-containing metabolites in vivo in preclinical species. In liver microsomes and S9, the major metabolites of olanexidine were from multi-oxidation on its n-octyl (C8) side chain. However, the carbon-carbon bond cleavage mechanism of n-octyl (C8) side chain, and enzyme(s) responsible for its metabolism in human remained unknown.

Methods: A pair of regioisomers of α-ketol-containing C8 side chain olanexidine analogs (3,2-ketol olanexidine and 2,3-ketol olanexidine) were synthesized, followed by incubation in human liver microsomes, recombinant human cytochrome P450 enzymes or human hepatocytes, and subsequent metabolite identification using LC/UV/MS.

Results: Multiple shortened side chain (C4 to C6) metabolites were identified, including C4, C5 and C6- acid and C6-hydroxyl metabolites. Among 19 cytochrome P450 enzymes tested, CYP2D6, CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 were identified to catalyze carbon-carbon bond cleavage.

Conclusion: 3,2-ketol olanexidine and 2,3-ketol olanexidine were confirmed as the key intermediates in carbon-carbon bond cleavage. Its mechanism is proposed that a nucleophilic addition of iron-peroxo species, generated by CYP2D6 and CYP3A4/5, to the carbonyl group caused the carbon-carbon bond cleavage between the adjacent hydroxyl and ketone groups. As results, 2,3-ketol olanexidine formed a C6 side chain acid metabolite. While, 3,2-ketol olanexidine formed a C6 side chain aldehyde intermediate, which was either oxidized to a C6 side chain acid metabolite or reduced to a C6 side chain hydroxyl metabolite.

Keywords: Carbon-carbon bond cleavage, metabolism, cytochrome P450 enzyme, metabolic pathway, Olanexidine, ketol.
