Parabens inhibit human skin estrogen sulfotransferase activity: possible link to paraben estrogenic effectsJeffery J Prusakiewicz
Department of Pharmacokinetics, Dynamics, and Metabolism, Pfizer Global Research and Development, 2800 Plymouth Rd, 20 342S D, Ann Arbor, MI 48105, USA
Toxicology 232:248-56. 2007..Accordingly, the skin anti-aging benefits of many topical cosmetics and pharmaceuticals could be derived, in part, from the estrogenicity of parabens...
Comparison of skin esterase activities from different speciesJeffery J Prusakiewicz
Department of Pharmacokinetics, Dynamics and Metabolism, Pfizer Global Research and Development, 2800 Plymouth Rd, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105, USA
Pharm Res 23:1517-24. 2006..The aims of this study were to evaluate the suitability of minipig and rat skin as in vitro models of human epidermal esterase activity...
Comparison of paraben stability in human and rat skinHeather M Harville
Department of Pharmacokinetics, Dynamics and Metabolism, Pfizer Global Research and Development, 2800 Plymouth Rd, Ann Arbor, MI 48105, USA
Drug Metab Lett 1:17-21. 2007..The typical cutaneous metabolism model, rat skin, hydrolyzes parabens much faster than human skin. Chronic application and absorption of parabens, combined with low metabolism rates, may lead to prolonged estrogenic effects in the skin...
The distribution of esterases in the skin of the minipigChristopher Jewell
Toxicology Unit, School of Clinical and Laboratory Sciences, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, Newcastle upon Tyne NE2 4EA, UK
Toxicol Lett 173:118-23. 2007..This study supports the use of the minipig, with topical application to the back, as a model for the investigation of pharmacokinetics and metabolism of ester prodrugs...
Hydrolysis of a series of parabens by skin microsomes and cytosol from human and minipigs and in whole skin in short-term cultureChristopher Jewell
Toxicology Unit, School of Clinical and Laboratory Sciences, Devonshire Building, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE2 4EA, UK
Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 225:221-8. 2007..These results demonstrate that the minipig is a suitable model for man for assessing dermal absorption and hydrolysis of parabens, although the carboxylesterase profile in skin differs between human and minipig...
Isoform-selective interaction of cyclooxygenase-2 with indomethacin amides studied by real-time fluorescence, inhibition kinetics, and site-directed mutagenesisSergei L Timofeevski
Department of Biochemistry, Center in Molecular Toxicology, Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, Tennessee 37232, USA
Biochemistry 41:9654-62. 2002..The indomethacin conjugates described herein represent powerful tools for the investigation of a novel class of selective inhibitors of COX-2...
Selective oxygenation of N-arachidonylglycine by cyclooxygenase-2Jeffery J Prusakiewicz
Department of Biochemistry, Center in Molecular Toxicology, Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, TN 37232, USA
Biochem Biophys Res Commun 296:612-7. 2002..These results suggest a possible role for COX-2 in the regulation of NAGly levels and the formation of a novel class of eicosanoids from NAGly metabolism...
Amino acid determinants in cyclooxygenase-2 oxygenation of the endocannabinoid anandamideKevin R Kozak
Department of Biochemistry, Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, Tennessee 37232, USA
Biochemistry 42:9041-9. 2003..Coupled with earlier observations with the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonylglycerol, these results indicate that one possible function of the highly conserved COX-2 active site side pocket is to promote endocannabinoid oxygenation...
Molecular basis of the time-dependent inhibition of cyclooxygenases by indomethacinJeffery J Prusakiewicz
A. B. Hancock, Jr, Memorial Laboratory for Cancer Research, Department of Biochemistry, Vanderbilt Institute for Chemical Biology, Center in Molecular Toxicology, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, Tennessee 37232, USA
Biochemistry 43:15439-45. 2004..These results highlight binding of the 2'-methyl of INDO in the hydrophobic pocket as an important determinant of its time-dependent inhibition of COX enzymes...
