The objective of the present study was to compare two configurations of the hepatocyte model namely suspensions (SH) and conventional primary cultures (CPC) for their ability to predict the hepatic clearance in vivo in the rat and, to investigate the impact of serum on the prediction accuracy. The metabolic competences of several cytochrome P450 isoenzymes were investigated both in CPC and SH in the presence or absence of serum. Under the same conditions, the in vitro intrinsic clearance of six test compounds metabolised by a variety of phase I and phase II enzymes (antipyrine, RO-X, mibefradil, midazolam, naloxone and oxazepam) were derived from Vmax/Km scaled up to the corresponding in vivo hepatic metabolic clearance. CYP activities were shown to be stable in both CPC and SH for up to 6 h of incubation, except for the CYP 3A1 activity that decreased in CPC even in the presence of serum. Moreover, the clearances predicted from SH in the presence of serum were closer to the in vivo values than those obtained from CPC. SH represent a convenient model to assess the hepatic metabolism of xenobiotics, the presence of serum in the incubation medium significantly improved in several instances the quality of the predictions.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

D003577 Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme System A superfamily of hundreds of closely related HEMEPROTEINS found throughout the phylogenetic spectrum, from animals, plants, fungi, to bacteria. They include numerous complex monooxygenases (MIXED FUNCTION OXYGENASES). In animals, these P-450 enzymes serve two major functions: (1) biosynthesis of steroids, fatty acids, and bile acids; (2) metabolism of endogenous and a wide variety of exogenous substrates, such as toxins and drugs (BIOTRANSFORMATION). They are classified, according to their sequence similarities rather than functions, into CYP gene families (>40% homology) and subfamilies (>59% homology). For example, enzymes from the CYP1, CYP2, and CYP3 gene families are responsible for most drug metabolism.
