Two forms of the cytochrome P450 enzyme superfamily, P4501A1 and P4501A2, that are heterogeneously distributed in populations and are induced in response to environmental factors are important because of their capacity to bioactivate procarcinogens. Phenotyping P4501A1 and P4501A2 in individuals will thus provide assessments of those individuals' susceptibility to procarcinogens. The anticoagulant drug warfarin is metabolized by human P4501A1 and P4501A2, and we have characterized this metabolism for the R-warfarin enantiomer as a potential in vivo probe. cDNA-expressed human P4501A1 and P4501A2 are regioselective for R-warfarin 6- and 8-hydroxylation with very similar KM values: 1.4 mM (6-hydroxylation), 1.2 mM (8-hydroxylation), 1.6 mM (6-hydroxylation), and 1.4 mM (8-hydroxylation), respectively, indicating possible binding competition for R-warfarin between the two forms. However, when comparing 6- and 8-hydroxylation, P4501A1 showed weak regioselectivity for 8-hydroxylation, whereas P4501A2 exhibited strong regioselectivity for 6-hydroxylation, with 6-hydroxylation/8- hydroxylation ratios of 0.6 and 5.0, respectively. These findings were confirmed by using microsomes from 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin- treated HepG2 and MCF-7 cells expressing only P4501A1 (ratios of 0.7), and from human hepatic microsomal preparations containing only P4501A2 (average ratios of 4.0). P4501A2 levels in the liver preparations, as assessed by densitometry of immunoblots, correlated with R-warfarin 6- hydroxylation rates (r2 = 0.83) and caffeine 3-demethylation rates (r2 = 0.67), but not with R-warfarin 8-hydroxylation rates. P450s 2A6, 2B6, 2C9, 2D6, 2E1, and 3A4 did not yield either 6- or 8-hydroxy-warfarin from R-warfarin. We conclude that R-warfarin 6-hydroxylation rates are markers for human hepatic P4501A2, whereas ratios of 6-hydroxylation/8- hydroxylation could be used in vitro as a marker for P4501A1.
