Abstract
Background: We report here an evaluation of a novel experimental system- cofactorsupplemented permeabilized cryopreserved human enterocytes (MetMax™ cryopreserved human enterocytes (MMHE), patent pending) for applications in the evaluation of enteric drug metabolism. A major advantage of MMHE over Conventional Cryopreserved Human Enterocytes (CCHE) is the simplification of the use procedures including storage at -80°C instead of in liquid nitrogen, and use of the cells immediately after thawing without a need for centrifugation and microscopic evaluation of cell density and viability and cell density adjustment.
Methods: In this study, we compared MMHE and CCHE in key phase 1 oxidation and phase 2 conjugation Drug Metabolism Enzyme (DME) activities that we recently reported for cryopreserved human enterocytes: CYP2C9 (diclofenac 4'- hydroxylation), CYP2C19 (s-mephenytoin hydroxylation), CYP3A4 (midazolam 1'-hydroxylation), CYP2J2 (astemizole O-demethylation), uridine 5'-diphosphoglucuronosyltransferase (UGT; 7-hydroxycoumarin glucuronidation), sulfotransferase (SULT; 7- hydroxycoumarin sulfation), N-acetyl transferase-1 (NAT-1; p-benzoic acid N-acetylation), and carboxyesterase- 2 (CES-2; hydrolysis of irinotecan to SN38). Both CCHE and MMHE were active in all the DME pathways evaluated, with specific activities of MMHE ranged from 142% (CYP2C9) to 1713% (UGT) of that for CCHE. β-hydroxylation and testosterone 6.
Result and conclusion: Our results suggest that the MMHE system represents a convenient and robust in vitro experimental system for the evaluation of enteric drug metabolism.

Drug Metabolism Letters publishes letters and research articles on major advances in all areas of drug metabolism and disposition. The emphasis is on publishing quality papers very rapidly by taking full advantage of the Internet technology both for the submission and review of manuscripts. The journal covers the following areas: In vitro systems including CYP-450; enzyme induction and inhibition; drug-drug interactions and enzyme kinetics; pharmacokinetics, toxicokinetics, species scaling and extrapolations; P-glycoprotein and transport carriers; target organ toxicity and interindividual variability; drug metabolism and disposition studies; extrahepatic metabolism; phase I and phase II metabolism; recent developments for the identification of drug metabolites.
