Benzbromarone (BBR) is a hepatotoxic drug, but the detailed mechanism of its toxicity remains unknown. We identified 2,6-dibromohydroquinone (DBH) and mono-debrominated catechol (2-ethyl-3-(3-bromo-4,5-dihydroxybenzoyl) benzofuran; CAT) as novel metabolites of BBR in rat and human liver microsomal systems by comparison with chemically synthesized authentic compounds, and we also elucidated that DBH is formed by cytochrome P450 2C9 and that CAT is formed mainly by CYP1A1, 2D6, 2E1, and 3A4. Furthermore, CAT, DBH, and the oxidized form of DBH are highly cytotoxic in HepG2 compared with BBR. Taken together, our data demonstrate that DBH, a novel reactive metabolite, may be relevant to BBR-induced hepatotoxicity.

The kidneys are a vital organ in the human body. They serve several purposes including homeostatic functions such as regulating extracellular fluid volume and maintaining acid-base and electrolyte balance and are essential regarding the excretion of metabolic waste. Furthermore, the kidneys play an important role in uric acid secretion/reabsorption. Abnormalities associated with kidney transporters have been associated with various diseases, such as gout. The current study utilized Xenopus oocytes expressing human uric acid transporter 1 (hURAT1; SLC22A12) as an in vitro method to investigate novel compounds and their ability to inhibit 14C-uric acid uptake via hURAT1. We have prepared and tested a series of 2-ethyl-benzofuran compounds and probed the hURAT1 in vitro inhibitor structure-activity relationship. As compared to dimethoxy analogues, monophenols formed on the C ring showed the best in vitro inhibitory potential. Compounds with submicromolar (i.e., IC 50 1000 nM) inhibitors were prepared by brominating the corresponding phenols to produce compounds with potent uricosuric activity.
