Side-chain metabolism of propranolol: involvement of monoamine oxidase and mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase in the metabolism of N-desisopropylpropranolol to naphthoxylactic acid (cas 10476-54-7) in rat liver

We examined the metabolism of N-desisopropylpropranolol (NDP), which is generated from propranolol (PL) by side-chain N-desisopropylation, to naphthoxylactic acid (cas 10476-54-7) (NLA) in rat liver. S(−)-NDP (S-NDP) and R(+)-NDP (R-NDP) were enantioselectively metabolized to NLA in isolated rat hepatocytes and in an enzyme reaction system of rat liver mitochondria with cofactor NAD+. Furthermore, the clearance profiles of NDP enantiomers were examined in an enzyme reaction system of rat liver mitochondria without NAD+. The amounts of S-NDP remaining in the incubation medium were similar to those of R-NDP, suggesting that monoamine oxidase (MAO) catalyzes the deamination of NDP to the aldehyde intermediate, but fails to deaminate enantioselectively S-NDP or R-NDP. Cyanamide, a potent inhibitor of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), markedly decreased the formation of NLA from racemic NDP in the enzyme reaction system of rat liver mitochondria with NAD+. When rat liver cytosol and microsomes were added to this enzyme reaction system, no significant alterations were observed in the amount of NLA generated from racemic NDP. We concluded that MAO deaminates NDP to an aldehyde intermediate, and that mitochondrial ALDH subsequently catalyzes the enantioselective metabolism of the aldehyde intermediate to NLA in rat liver.
