Abstract

Human arylacetamide deacetylase (AADAC) plays a role in the detoxification or activation of drugs and is sometimes involved in the incidence of toxicity by catalyzing hydrolysis reactions. AADAC prefers compounds with relatively small acyl groups, such as acetyl groups. Eslicarbazepine acetate, an antiepileptic drug, is a prodrug rapidly hydrolyzed to eslicarbazepine. We sought to clarify whether AADAC might be responsible for the hydrolysis of eslicarbazepine acetate. Eslicarbazepine acetate was efficiently hydrolyzed by human intestinal and liver microsomes and recombinant human AADAC. The hydrolase activities in human intestinal and liver microsomes were inhibited by epigallocatechin gallate, a specific inhibitor of AADAC, by 82% and 88% of the control, respectively. The hydrolase activities in liver microsomes from 25 human livers were significantly correlated (
