An in vitro screening model was developed to determine the
reactivity of acyl glucuronide metabolites from carboxylic drugs. This
assay is composed of two phases. The first is a phase of biosynthesis
of acyl glucuronides by human liver microsomes (HLM). The second,
during which acyl glucuronides are incubated with human serum albumin
(HSA), consists of assessing the reactivity of acyl glucuronides toward
HSA. Both phases are performed successively in the same experiment.
This model was validated using eight carboxylic drugs that were well
known for their reactivity, their extent of covalent binding, and their
immunological potential. These products were representative of the
scale of reactivity. Each compound was incubated with HLM at 400 µM
and metabolized into acyl glucuronide to different extents, ranging
from 5.6% (tolmetin) to 89.4% (diclofenac). The first-order aglycone
appearance rate constant and the extent of covalent binding to proteins
were assayed during the incubation of acyl glucuronides formed with HSA
for 24 h. Extensive isomerization phenomenon was observed for each acyl glucuronide between the two phases. An excellent correlation was
observed (r2, 0.94) between the extent of
drug covalent binding to albumin and the aglycone appearance constant
weighted by the percentage of isomerization. This correlation
represents an in vitro reactivity scale, which will be helpful in drug
discovery support programs to predict the covalent binding potential of
new chemical entities. This screening model will also allow the
comparison of acyl glucuronide reactivity for related structure compounds.
