Popis: | U-89843 is a novel pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine antioxidant with prophylactic activity in animal models of lung inflammation. During preclinical safety evaluation, U-89843 was found to give a positive response in the in vitro unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) assay, an assay which measures DNA repair following chemically-induced DNA damage in metabolically competent rat hepatocytes. Incubation of [14C]U-89843 with liver microsomes resulted in covalent binding of radioactive material to macromolecules by a process that was NADPH-dependent. U-89843 has been shown to undergo C-6 methylhydroxylation to give U-97924, in rat both in vivo and in vitro, in a reaction catalyzed by cytochrome P450 2C11. Synthetical U-97924 is chemically reactive and undergoes dimerization in aqueous solution. The dimerization of U-97924 was significantly inhibited by addition of nucleophiles such as methanol, glutathione, and N-acetylcysteine. Characterization of the corresponding methanol, glutathione, and N-acetylcysteine adducts of U-... |
