RESUMO

BORGES, K. B. Stereoselective analysis of thioridazine and its major metabolites: a kinetic study of biotransformation by fungi. 2006. 124p. Dissertation (Masters degree) Faculdade de Ciências Farmacêuticas de Ribeirão Preto Universidade de São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto, 2006. The interest in stereoselective biotransformation of drugs including the processes that reproduce the in vivo metabolism has been increased. To study drug metabolism several models have been used. Among them, studies carried out using microorganisms, mainly fungi have been standing out. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography can be used for the resolution, identification and quantification of the chiral species formed. The thioridazine (THD) is a chiral drug used as antipsychotic for the treatment of schizophrenia. The main metabolites of THD are thioridazine-2-sulfoxide (THD-2-SO), thioridazine-2-sulfone (THD-2-SO2) and thioridazine-5-sulfoxide (THD-5-SO). The THD-2-SO and THD-2-SO2 possesss antipsychotic activity and THD-5-SO contributes to the cardiotoxicity of drug more than the parent compound. Therefore, the aim of the present work was to develop a method for the stereoselective analysis of THD-2-SO and THD-5-SO in culture medium to study biotransformation of THD by some fungi. The simultaneous determination of thioridazine-2-sulfoxide and thioridazine-5-sulfoxide was performed on a CHIRALPAK® AS column using a mobile phase constituted of hexane: ethanol: methanol (92:6:2, v/v/v) + 0.5% diethylamine. Diethyl ether was used as extraction solvent. Recoveries around 100% were obtained for all the evaluated species. The coefficients of variation and relative errors in precision and accuracy studies (within-day and between-day) were below 10%. The validated method was used to evaluate the biotransformation of THD by 12 endophytic fungi isolated from Tithonia diversifolia, Viguiera arenaria and Viguiera robusta and 1 fungus isolated from soil (Penicillium waksmanii). Among the 13 fungi evaluated, four of them deserve prominence for presenting an evidenced stereoselective biotransformation potential: Phomopsis sp. (TD2) presented greater mono-5-sulfoxidation to the forms (S)-(SE) e (R)-(FE) (9.3% and 5.8%, respectively); Glomerella cingulata (VA1) presented greater mono-5-sulfoxidation to the forms (S)-(SE) + (R)-(FE) (39.7%); Diaporthe phaseolorum (VR4) presented greater mono-2-sulfoxidation to the forms (S)-(SE) and (R)-(FE) (84.4% and 82.5%, respectively) and Aspergillus fumigatus (VR12) presented greater mono-2-sulfoxidation to the forms (S)-(FE) (20.7%) and (R)-(SE) (34.4%).
