ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND Leonurine is an active component of the traditional Chinese medicine Leonurus japonicus. This study aimed to investigate the effects of overexpressed CYP450s on the metabolic activity of leonurine. MATERIAL AND METHODS BEAS-2B cells stably expressing CYP1A1, 1A2, 2A13, 2B6, and 3A4 were constructed. CYP450s expression was identified using reverse-transcription PCR and Western blot assay. CCK-8 assay was used to evaluate the effect of leonurine on cell activity. Leonurine was incubated in vitro with CYP1A1, 1A2, 2A13, 2B6, and 3A4 metabolic enzymes to evaluate the clearance rate of CYP450 enzymes for leonurine. UPLC-MS was used to detect changes of drug concentration and discover the main metabolic enzymes affecting leonurine. RESULTS BEAS-2B cells stably expressing CYP1A1, 1A2, 2A13, 2B6, and 3A4 were successfully constructed. According to primary mass spectra and secondary mass spectra of leonurine, the main metabolic enzymes were 312.1550 [H+] and 181.0484. Compared to the control group, residue of leonurine in CYP2A13 group was significantly reduced (F=5.307, p=0.024). Compared to the 0-min group, the clearance rate of leonurine in the CYP2A13-treated group was significantly decreased at 120 min after treatment (F=7.273, p=0.007). CCK-8 results also showed that activity of BEAS-2B cells that overexpress CYP2A13 gradually decreased with increased concentration of leonurine. Although CYP2A13 demonstrated good metabolic activity for leonurine, we found that CYP1A1, 1A2, 2B6, and 3A4 had no metabolic effects on leonurine. CONCLUSIONS Leonurine can be effectively activated through CYP2A13 enzyme metabolism, and further inhibits activity of human lung epithelial cells (BEAS-2B). Therefore, CYP2A13 is a main metabolic enzyme for leonurine in BEAS-2B cells.
