The influence of microsomal concentration on unbound fraction
(fumic), half-life (t1/2),
apparent intrinsic clearance (CLint,app) and apparent
Michaelis-Menten constant (Km,app) was
examined for two compounds, one representative of high nonspecific
binding to microsomes (compound A) and one representative of low
(compound B). Kinetic parameters were estimated for the two probe
compounds at two human microsomal protein concentrations (0.46 and 2.3 mg/ml) and cytochrome P450 concentrations (0.20 and 1.0 µM),
representing a 5-fold difference in microsomal concentration. For
compound A, fumic and CLint,app were inversely
proportional to microsomal concentration. Conversely, the
Km,app of compound A was proportional to
microsomal concentration and the half-life was unchanged. For compound
B, half-life was inversely proportional to microsomal concentration. In
this case, fumic, CLint,app, and
Km,app were not proportionally influenced.
The experimental observations were entirely consistent with that
predicted by a mathematical relationship between microsomal
concentration, fumic, t1/2,
CLint,app, and Km,app. These
results demonstrate that when nonspecific binding is extensive,
CLint,app is dependent on the arbitrary choice of microsomal concentration included in the incubation.
