Irinotecan (CPT-11) is a semisynthetic derivative of camptothecine that has proved activity in the treatment of colorectal carcinoma. The metabolites identiยฎed in humans include SN-38, SN-38 glucuronide, and several CYP3A-derived metabolites. We have studied the hepatic extraction, metabolism, and b

โฆ Synopsis
Hepatic metabolism of salicylic acid was studied using a single-pass liver perfusion technique. Livers obtained from male, Sprague-Dawley rats (200-300 g) were perfused with Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate buffer containing the drug (50-100 micrograms/mL) and glycine (0.5 or 5 mM) or glucose (5.5 mM) or bovine serum albumin (0.33%). Effluent samples over a 30-50 min interval were analyzed for salicylic acid and its metabolites (gentisic acid, salicyluric acid, and salicyl acyl and salicyl phenolic glucuronides). Effluent concentrations of salicylic acid did not differ from those in the perfusate, indicating that the liver is not a site for the metabolism of this drug. Hepatic uptake studies are needed to confirm this finding.

The study was designed to investigate the hepatic metabolism and transport system of valerenic acid, a main active constituent of valerian, in isolated perfused livers from Wistar and Mrp2-deficient TR(-) rats. After administration of 20 microM valerenic acid, the formation of seven valerenic acid g
The scope of the present work was to investigate the metabolism and the passage of octanoate from albumin into the phospholipid bilayer of the plasma membrane and from thence into the cell space. The experiments were done in the isolated perfused rat liver with infusions of albumin and octanoate at
