The role of polymorphic cytochrome P450 enzymes in drug design, development and drug interactions with a special emphasis on phenotyping

Arinc, Emel
Inhibitors of some cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are used to design target-specific drugs. CYPs belonging to families 1-4 play important roles in drug metabolism and therapeutics. Some isozymes of CYPs also activate pro-carcinogens into their carcinogenic forms. Approximately 40-50% human CYP-dependent drug metabolism is carried out by polymorphic CYPs resulting in therapeutic failure and adverse reactions. Phenotyping of CYPs involved in the metabolism of a drug is important to understand the potential of clinical interactions and to predict the possible individual variations due to genetic polymorphisms of certain CYPs.

Cloning and heterologous expression of the extracellular alpha-galactosidase from Aspergillus fumigatus in Aspergillus sojae under the control of gpdA promoter
Gurkok, Suemeyra; Soyler, Betuel; Biely, Peter; Ögel, Zümrüt Begüm (Elsevier BV, 2010-07-01)
Aspergillus fumigatus is highly pathogenic especially for immunocompromised people however it can efficiently produce many industrially important enzymes. The gene coding et-galactosidase enzyme (aglB) of A. fumigatus IMI 385708 has been cloned onto pAN52-4 fungal expression vector and expressed in a GRAS organism, Aspergillus sojae ATCC11906 under the control of constitutive glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gpdA) promoter. pAN52-4 fungal expression system allowed high level alpha-galactosidase pro...
Fusarium roseum and Aspergillus oryzae-mediated enantioselective reduction of benzils to benzoins
Elmir, Ayhan S.; Ayhan, Peruze; Demirtas, Umut; Erkilic, Umut (Elsevier BV, 2008-11-01)
Aspergillus oryzae OUT5048 and Fusarium roseum OUT4019 were found to be effective biocatalysts in the reduction of benzils to optically active benzoins. Easily available symmetrical benzil derivatives were reduced to the corresponding benzoins [(S)-2-hydroxy-1,2-diphenylethanones] by A. oryzae OUT5048 with tip to 94% ee and by F roseum OUT4019 with up to 98% ee, respectively. In this Work. first general method for whole-cell-mediated selective reduction of benzils to benzoins is reported. It is also shown t...
In-Depth Method for the Characterization of Glycosylation in Manufactured Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody Drugs
Song, Ting; Özcan Kabasakal, Süreyya; Becker, Alicia; Lebrilla, Carlito B. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2014-06-17)
The glycosylation in recombinant monoclonal antibody (rMab) drugs is a major concern in the biopharmaceutical industry as it impacts the drugs' many attributes. Characterization is important but complicated by the intricate structures, microheterogeneity, and the limitations of current tools for structural analysis. In this study, we developed a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) N-glycan library based on eight commercial rMab drugs. A library of over 70 structures was developed for the rapid c...
Remarkable cooperative action of two zinc centers in the hydrolysis of plasmid DNA
Aka, FN; Akkaya, Mahinur; Akkaya, EU (Elsevier BV, 2001-01-08)
A novel binuclear zinc complex has been synthesized. The complex is highly efficient in the hydrolysis of plasmid DNA at pH 7.5. Furthermore, a comparison to a mononuclear complex reveals a high level of cooperativity between the two metal ion centers.
The role of alkali-metal promotion on CO oxidation over PdO/SnO2 catalysts
MİRKELAMOĞLU, BURCU; Karakaş, Gürkan (Elsevier BV, 2006-01-17)
Sol-gel prepared PdO/SnO2 and Na-PdO/SnO2 catalysts were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), diffuse reflectance IR (DRIFTS), temperature-programmed reaction spectroscopy (TPRS) and impulse techniques. Alkali-metal promotion was observed to enhance CO oxidation rate and decreases light-off temperatures of PdO/SnO, XPS analysis revealed that alkali-metal promotion resulted in the segregation of Pd atoms and promoted the oxygen storage capacity of the catalysts. The presence of super-oxide...
