Metabolism of coumarin by precision-cut calf liver slices and calf liver microsomes.
1995
1. The metabolism of 50 microM [3-14C]coumarin has been studied in precision-cut-calf liver slices. 2. The metabolism of 50 microM coumarin to 7-hydroxycoumarin has also been examined in calf, rat, Cynomolgus monkey and human liver microsomal preparations. 3. In precision-cut calf liver slices, [3-14C]coumarin was metabolized to various polar products and to metabolite(s) that bound covalently to calf liver slice proteins. The polar products included 7-hydroxycoumarin (which was extensively conjugated with D-glucuronic acid and/or sulphate), metabolites of the 3-hydroxylation pathway (mainly o-hydroxyphenylethanol and o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid), and unknown metabolites. 4. Coumarin 7-hydro…
Comparison of the metabolism of 7-ethoxycoumarin and coumarin in precision-cut rat liver and lung slices
1995
The metabolism of 7-ethoxycoumarin and [3-(14)C]coumarin was compared in precision-cut rat liver and lung slices. The lung slices were prepared using an agarose gel instilling technique enabling the production of tissue cylinders followed by lung slices employing a Krumdieck tissue slicer. Both 50 microM 7-ethoxycoumarin and 50 microM [3-(14)C]coumarin were metabolized by rat liver and lung slices. 7-Ethoxycoumarin was converted to 7-hydroxycoumarin (7-HC) which was conjugated with both D-glucuronic acid and sulfate. 7-HC sulfate was the major metabolite formed by both liver and lung slices. [3-(14)C]Coumarin was metabolized by rat liver and lung slices to both polar products and to metabol…
