The in vitro stability and metabolism of GEM[91, a 25mer phosphorothioate antisense oligonucleotide complementary to the gag mRNA region of HIV-1, was investigated using capillary electrophoresis (CE). The in vitro degradation of the parent compound at 37 degrees C was followed over the course of 120 h in human plasma. A CE method using laser-induced fluorescence detection was able to detect 5'-end intact metabolites including the parent compound extracted from biological fluids. Because the primary metabolic pathway is believed to be via 3'-exonuclease activity, the results of this study were compared with the stability of the compound in a solution containing 3'-exonuclease. The numerical solution of sequential first-order reactions was used to obtain kinetic parameters. Exonuclease digestion of the parent compound, as measured using an automated CE-UV instrument, yielded striking similarities between the two in vitro systems as well as between in vitro and in vivo systems.
使用毛细管电泳(CE)研究了GEM[91](一种与HIV-1的gag mRNA区域互补的25聚体硫代磷酸酯反义寡核苷酸)的体外稳定性和代谢情况。在人血浆中,于37℃下对母体化合物的体外降解进行了120小时的跟踪监测。一种采用激光诱导荧光检测的CE方法能够检测到从生物流体中提取的包括母体化合物在内的5'-端完整代谢产物。由于主要代谢途径被认为是通过3'-外切核酸酶活性,本研究结果与该化合物在含有3'-外切核酸酶的溶液中的稳定性进行了比较。采用连续一级反应的数值解来获得动力学参数。使用自动CE-UV仪器测量母体化合物的外切核酸酶消化情况,结果显示两个体外系统之间以及体外和体内系统之间存在显著相似性。
