The Functions of Warfarin metabolite 2

Warfarin metabolites 2, Stereochemical aspects of protein binding and displacement reaction by phenylbutazone.Warfarin metamorphosis may be inhibited through drug-drug interactions, including amiodarone and statins.

The in vitro human serum albumin binding characteristics of the enantiomers of the major metabolites of warfarin [6-hydroxywarfarin (6-HW), 7-hydroxywarfarin (7-HW), (S)-warfarin alcohols [(S,S)- and (S,R)-WA], and (R,S)-warfarin alcohol [(R,S)-WA]] have been studied, using a stereospecific HPLC assay. Warfarin metabolites are less bound both within plasma and a 40 g/liter solution of human serum albumin than the enantiomers of warfarin. The decreased warfarin metabolites have a lower fraction unbound [1.33% for (S,R)-WA, 2.09% for (S,S)-WA, and 1.04% for (R,S)-WA] than hydroxylated metabolites [3.24% for (R)-6-HW, 4.26% (S)-6-HW, 4.49% for (R)-7-HW and 4.27% for (S)-7-HW] to HSA. Phenylbutazone produced a concentration-dependent increment in the unbound fraction of all metabolites. It was possible to predict the unbound fraction of warfarin metabolites based on the unbound fraction of warfarin enantiomers.
