Project description:BackgroundDogs and rats have a highly developed capability to detect and identify odorant molecules, even at minute concentrations. Previous analyses have shown that the olfactory receptors (ORs) that specifically bind odorant molecules are encoded by the largest gene family sequenced in mammals so far.ResultsWe identified five amino acid patterns characteristic of ORs in the recently sequenced boxer dog and brown Norway rat genomes. Using these patterns, we retrieved 1,094 dog genes and 1,493 rat genes from these shotgun sequences. The retrieved sequences constitute the olfactory receptor repertoires of these two animals. Subsets of 20.3% (for the dog) and 19.5% (for the rat) of these genes were annotated as pseudogenes as they had one or several mutations interrupting their open reading frames. We performed phylogenetic studies and organized these two repertoires into classes, families and subfamilies.ConclusionWe have established a complete or almost complete list of OR genes in the dog and the rat and have compared the sequences of these genes within and between the two species. Our results provide insight into the evolutionary development of these genes and the local amplifications that have led to the specific amplification of many subfamilies. We have also compared the human and rat ORs with the human and mouse OR repertoires.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Batracylin is a heterocyclic arylamine topoisomerase inhibitor with preclinical anticancer activity. Marked species differences in sensitivity to the toxicity of batracylin were observed and attributed to differential formation of N-acetylbatracylin by N-acetyltransferase. A Phase I trial of batracylin in cancer patients with slow acetylator genotypes identified a dose-limiting toxicity of hemorrhagic cystitis. To further explore the metabolism of batracylin and N-acetylbatracylin across species, detailed studies using human, rat, and dog liver microsomal and hepatocyte preparations were conducted. METHODS:Batracylin or N-acetylbatracylin was incubated with microsomes and hepatocytes from human, rat, and dog liver and with CYP-expressing human and rat microsomes. Substrates and metabolites were analyzed by HPLC with diode array, fluorescence, radiochemical, or mass spectrometric detection. Covalent binding of radiolabeled batracylin and N-acetylbatracylin to protein and DNA was measured in 3-methylcholanthrene-induced rat, human, and dog liver microsomes, and with recombinant human cytochromes P450. RESULTS:In microsomal preparations, loss of batracylin was accompanied by formation of one hydroxylated metabolite in human liver microsomes and five hydroxylated metabolites in rat liver microsomes. Six mono- or di-hydroxy-N-acetylbatracylin metabolites were found in incubations of this compound with 3MC rat liver microsomes. Hydroxylation sites were identified for some of the metabolites using deuterated substrates. Incubation with recombinant cytochromes P450 identified rCYP1A1, rCYP1A2, hCYP1A1 and hCYP1B1 as the major CYP isoforms that metabolize batracylin and N-acetylbatracylin. Glucuronide conjugates of batracylin were also identified in hepatocyte incubations. NADPH-dependent covalent binding to protein and DNA was detected in all batracylin and most N-acetylbatracylin preparations evaluated. CONCLUSIONS:Microsomal metabolism of batracylin and N-acetylbatracylin results in multiple hydroxylated products (including possible hydroxylamines) and glutathione conjugates. Incubation of batracylin with hepatocytes resulted in production primarily of glucuronides and other conjugates. There was no clear distinction in the metabolism of batracylin and N-acetylbatracylin across species that would explain the differential toxicity.

Project description:The promoter landscape of several non-human model organisms is far from complete. As a part of FANTOM5 data collection, we generated 13 profiles of transcription initiation activities in dog and rat aortic smooth muscle cells, mesenchymal stem cells and hepatocytes by employing CAGE (Cap Analysis of Gene Expression) technology combined with single molecule sequencing. Our analyses show that the CAGE profiles recapitulate known transcription start sites (TSSs) consistently, in addition to uncover novel TSSs. Our dataset can be thus used with high confidence to support gene annotation in dog and rat species. We identified 28,497 and 23,147 CAGE peaks, or promoter regions, for rat and dog respectively, and associated them to known genes. This approach could be seen as a standard method for improvement of existing gene models, as well as discovery of novel genes. Given that the FANTOM5 data collection includes dog and rat matched cell types in human and mouse as well, this data would also be useful for cross-species studies.

Project description:The metabolic fate of [1-14-C]hexadecylsulphate and hexadecyl[35-S]sulphate, administered intravenously as the sodium and trimethylammonium salt to dogs and orally as the erythromycin salt to dogs, rats and humans, was studied. Studies with rats indicated that the compounds were well absorbed and rapidly excreted in the urine. However, after oral administration of the 14-C-and 35-S-labelled hexadecyl sulphate erythromycin salt to dogs, considerable amounts of radioactivity were excreted in the faeces as unmetabolized hexadecyl sulphate. Studies with two humans showed that orally administered erythromycin salt of [1-14C]hexadecyl sulphate was well absorbed in one person but poorly absorbed in the other. Radioactive metabolites in urine were separated by t.l.c. in two solvent systems. The main metabolite of hexadecyl sulphate in the dog, rat and human was identified as the sulphate ester of 4-hydroxybutyric acid. In addition, psi-[14-C]butyrolactone as a minor metabolic product of [1-14-C]hexadecyl sulphate was also isolated from the urine of rat, dog and man. However, there was still another metabolite in dog urine, which comprised about 20% of the total urinary radioactivity and carried both 14-C and 35-S labels. This metabolite was absent from rat urine. The metabolite in dog urine was isolated and subsequently identified by t.l.c. and g.l.c. and by isotope-dilution experiments as the sulphate ester of glycollic acid. Small amounts (about 5% of the total recovered radioactivity in excreta) of labelled glycollic acid sulphate were also found in human urine after ingestion of erythromycin [1-14-C]hexadecyl sulphate.

Project description:1. A single oral dose of either [(14)C]Prefix or 2,6-dichlorobenzo[(14)C]nitrile to rats is almost entirely eliminated in 4 days: 84.8-100.5% of (14)C from [(14)C]Prefix is excreted, 67.3-79.7% in the urine, and 85.8-97.2% of (14)C from 2,6-dichlorobenzo-[(14)C]nitrile is excreted, 72.3-80.7% in the urine. Only 0.37+/-0.03% of the dose of [(14)C]Prefix and 0.25+/-0.03% of the dose of 2,6-dichlorobenzo[(14)C]nitrile are present in the carcass plus viscera after removal of the gut. Rats do not show sex differences in the pattern of elimination of the respective metabolites of the two herbicides. The rates of elimination of (14)C from the two compounds in the 24hr. and 48hr. urines are not significantly different (P >0.05) from one another. 2. After oral administration to dogs, 85.9-106.1% of (14)C from [(14)C]Prefix is excreted, 66.6-80.9% in the urine, and 86.8-92.5% of (14)C from 2,6-dichlorobenzo[(14)C]nitrile is excreted, 60.0-70.1% in the urine. Dogs do not show sex differences in the pattern of eliminating the metabolites of either Prefix or 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile. 3. Dogs and rats do not show species differences in the patterns of elimination of the two herbicides. 4. Prefix and 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile are completely metabolized; unchanged Prefix and 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile are absent from the urine and faeces, and from the carcasses when elimination is complete. In the hydrolysed urine of rats dosed with either [(14)C]Prefix or 2,6-dichlorobenzo[(14)C]nitrile, 2,6-dichloro-3-hydroxybenzonitrile accounts for approx. 42% of the (14)C, a further 10-11% is accounted for by 2,6-dichlorobenzamide, 2,6-dichlorobenzoic acid, 2,6-dichloro-3- and -4-hydroxybenzoic acid and 2,6-dichloro-4-hydroxybenzonitrile collectively, and 25-30% by six polar constituents, of which two are sulphur-containing amino acids. 5. In the unhydrolysed urines of rats dosed with either [(14)C]Prefix or 2,6-dichlorobenzo[(14)C]nitrile, there are present free 2,6-dichloro-3- and -4-hydroxybenzonitrile, their glucuronide conjugates, ester glucuronides of the principal aromatic acids that are present in the hydrolysed urines, and two sulphur-containing metabolites analogous to mercapturic acids or premercapturic acids. 6. Prefix is thus extensively transformed into 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile: R.CS.NH(2)-->R.CN+H(2)S, where R=C(6)H(3)Cl(2). However, the competitive reaction: R.CS.NH(2)+H(2)O-->R.CO.NH(2)+H(2)S takes place to a very limited extent.

Project description:1. A single oral dose of [(14)C]Ionox 100 to rats is almost entirely eliminated in 11 days: 89.1-107.2% of the (14)C is excreted and 0.29+/-0.02% of the dose is present in the carcass plus viscera after removal of the gut. Rats exhibit an individual variation in the elimination pattern, 15.6-70.8% of (14)C being excreted in the urine and 75.2-27.0% in the faeces during 11 days. 2. After the oral administration of [(14)C]Ionox 100 to dogs, 87.1-90.3% of the (14)C is excreted in the faeces and urine during 4 days. 3. Dogs and rats do not show a species difference in this pattern of elimination. 4. The rate of elimination from dogs and rats given a single dose of Ionox 100 is not affected by the size of the dose and the presence of triglyceride fat in the diet. 5. Ionox 100 is completely metabolized in dogs and rats: unchanged Ionox 100 is absent from the urine and faeces, and from the carcass when elimination is complete. In rats, 3,5-di-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoic acid accounts for 50-85% of a dose of Ionox 100 and (3,5-di-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoyl beta-d-glucopyranosid)uronic acid for 47-10%; in dogs, the unconjugated acid accounts for 85% and the ester glucuronide for 10-12%. 3,5-Di-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxyhippuric acid is not formed. Other metabolites, which have been detected in small quantity in the faeces and urine of animals dosed with Ionox 100, have not been identified. 6. 3,5-Di-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoic acid and (3,5-di-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoyl beta-d-glucopyranosid)uronic acid are also the major metabolites of Ionol (2,6-di-tert.-butyl-p-cresol) in rats. 7. The elimination of Ionox 100 metabolites from rats is faster than that of Ionol and its metabolites. Unlike Ionol, unchanged Ionox 100 could not be detected in the bodies of these animals.

Project description:1. A single oral dose of [(14)C]Chlorfenvinphos to rats is quantitatively eliminated in 4 days. Rats do not show a sex difference in the elimination pattern and show only a small degree of biological variation in the total excretion data. Of the label 87.2% is excreted in the urine (67.5% in the first day after dosage), 11.2% in the faeces and 1.4% in the expired gases; less than 0.9% of (14)C is present in the gut and contents after 4 days. 2. After oral administration of [(14)C]Chlorfenvinphos to dogs, 94.0% (91.8-97.6%) of the (14)C is excreted in the urine and faeces during 4 days. Dogs do not show a sex difference in the pattern of elimination, and excretion of radioactivity in the urine is very rapid: 86.0% of (14)C during 0-24hr. 3. Chlorfenvinphos is completely metabolized in rats and dogs: unchanged Chlorfenvinphos is absent from the urine and from the carcass, when elimination is complete. In rats, 2-chloro-1-(2',4'-dichlorophenyl)vinyl ethyl hydrogen phosphate accounts for 32.3% of a dose of Chlorfenvinphos, [1-(2',4'-dichlorophenyl)ethyl beta-d-glucopyranosid]uronic acid for 41.0%, 2,4-dichloromandelic acid for 7.0%, 2,4-dichlorophenylethanediol glucuronide for 2.6% and 2,4-dichlorohippuric acid for 4.3%; in dogs, 2-chloro-1-(2',4'-dichlorophenyl)vinyl ethyl hydrogen phosphate accounts for 69.6%, [1-(2',4'-dichlorophenyl)ethyl beta-d-glucopyranosid] uronic acid for 3.6%, 2,4-dichloromandelic acid for 13.4% and 2,4-dichlorophenylethanediol glucuronide for 2.7%. 4. Dogs and rats show a species difference in the rate of excretion of (14)C in the urine, and in the proportions of the metabolites, with the exception of 2,4-dichlorophenylethanediol glucuronide, that are excreted in the urine. Alternative explanations for the latter species difference are suggested. 5. 2-Chloro-1-(2',4'-dichlorophenyl)vinyl ethyl hydrogen phosphate and 2,4-dichlorophenacyl chloride probably lie on the main metabolic pathway of Chlorfenvinphos, since, in common with that insecticide, they give rise to [1-(2',4'-dichlorophenyl)ethyl beta-d-glucopyranosid]uronic acid and 2,4-dichloromandelic acid as major metabolites in the urine. 6. The proposed scheme for the metabolism of Chlorfenvinphos represents a detoxication mechanism.

Project description:BACKGROUND:(R,S)-ketamine has gained attention for its rapid-acting antidepressant actions in patients with treatment-resistant depression. However, widespread use of ketamine is limited by its side effects, abuse potential, and poor oral bioavailability. The ketamine metabolite, (2R,6R)-hydroxynorketamine, exerts rapid antidepressant effects, without ketamine's adverse effects and abuse potential, in rodents. METHODS:We evaluated the oral bioavailability of (2R,6R)-hydroxynorketamine in three species (mice, rats, and dogs) and also evaluated five candidate prodrug modifications for their capacity to enhance the oral bioavailability of (2R,6R)-hydroxynorketamine in mice. Oral administration of (2R,6R)-hydroxynorketamine was assessed for adverse behavioral effects and for antidepressant efficacy in the mouse forced-swim and learned helplessness tests. RESULTS:(2R,6R)-hydroxynorketamine had absolute bioavailability between 46-52% in mice, 42% in rats, and 58% in dogs. Compared to intraperitoneal injection in mice, the relative oral bioavailability of (2R,6R)-hydroxynorketamine was 62%, which was not improved by any of the candidate prodrugs tested. Following oral administration, (2R,6R)-hydroxynorketamine readily penetrated the brain, with brain to plasma ratios between 0.67-1.2 in mice and rats. Oral administration of (2R,6R)-hydroxynorketamine to mice did not alter locomotor activity or precipitate behaviors associated with discomfort, sickness, or stereotypy up to a dose of 450 mg/kg. Oral (2R,6R)-hydroxynorketamine reduced forced-swim test immobility time (15-150 mg/kg) and reversed learned helplessness (50-150 mg/kg) in mice. CONCLUSIONS:These results demonstrate that (2R,6R)-hydroxynorketamine has favorable oral bioavailability in three species and exhibits antidepressant efficacy following oral administration in mice.

Project description:The pharmacokinetic and distribution of the enantiomers of quizalofop-ethyl and its metabolite quizalofop-acid were studied in Sprague-Dawley male rats. The two pairs of enantiomers were determined using a validated chiral high-performance liquid chromatography method. Animals were administered quizalofop-ethyl at 10 mg kg(-1) orally and intravenously. It was found high concentration of quizalofop-acid in the blood and tissues by both intragastric and intravenous administration, and quizalofop-ethyl could not be detected through the whole study which indicated a quick metabolism of quizalofop-ethyl to quizalofop-acid in vivo. In almost all the samples, the concentrations of (+)-quizalofop-acid exceeded those of (-)-quizalofop-acid. Quizalofop-acid could still be detected in the samples even at 120 h except in brain due to the function of blood-brain barrier. Based on a rough calculation, about 8.77% and 2.16% of quizalofop-acid were excreted through urine and feces after intragastric administration. The oral bioavailability of (+)-quizalofop-acid and (-)-quizalofop-acid were 72.8% and 83.6%.
