However, in contrast to new medicaments, which are extensively studied in controlled clinical studies concerning metabolism, including cytochrome P450 isoenzyme differentiation, and further pharmacokinetics, designer drugs are consumed without any safety testing.
Furthermore, N-benzylpiperazine (BZP), 1-(3, 4-methylenedioxybenzyl) piperazine (MDBP), 1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl) piperazine (TFMPP), 1-(3-chlorophenyl) piperazine (mCPP) and 1-(4-methoxyphenyl) piperazine (MeOPP) were taken into consideration as derivatives of the class of piperazine-derived designer drugs, as well as alpha-pyr-rolidinopropiophenone (PPP), 4'-methoxy-alpha-pyrrolidinopropiophenone (MOPPP), 3', 4'-methylenedioxy-alpha-pyrrolidino-propiophenone (MDPPP), 4'-methyl-alpha-pyrrolidinopropiophenone (MPPP), and 4'-methyl-alpha-pyrrolidinoexanophenone (MPHP) as derivatives of the class of alpha-pyrrolidinophenone-derived designer drugs.

Buspirone mainly underwent N-dealkylation to 1-pyrimidinylpiperazine (1-PP), N-oxidation on the piperazine ring to buspirone N-oxide (Bu N-oxide), and hydroxylation to 3'-hydroxybuspirone (3'-OH-Bu), 5-hydroxybuspirone (5-OH-Bu), and 6'-hydroxybuspirone (6'-OH-Bu) in HLMs.

In the presence of NADPH, 1-PP (100 microM) was incubated separately with human cDNA-expressed cytochrome P450 isozymes (including CYP2D6, 3A4, 1A2, 2A6, 2C9, 2C19, 2E1, and 2B6) at 37 degrees C.

Drug Metab Dispos. 2007 Apr;35(4):533-8. Epub 2007 Jan 12.

CYP3A4 was the major cytochrome P450 isozyme responsible for the limited oxidative metabolism of sitagliptin, with some minor contribution from CYP2C8.
These metabolites were the N-sulfate and N-carbamoyl glucuronic acid conjugates of parent drug, a mixture of hydroxylated derivatives, an ether glucuronide of a hydroxylated metabolite, and two metabolites formed by oxidative desaturation of the piperazine ring followed by cyclization.

Liver microsomes were incubated in two different buffer systems with optimum conditions for cytochrome P450 activity or UDP-glucuronosyltransferase activity.
The major phase I metabolites of BVT.2938 originated from O-deethylation of the pyridine ring, O-dealkylation of the ethylene bridge, pyrazine ring hydroxylation, hydroxylation of pyridine ring and piperazine ring N-hydroxylation.

16912859 Kim YH, Kang I, Bergeron H, Lau PC, Engesser KH, Kim SJ: Physiological, biochemical, and genetic characterization of an alicyclic amine-degrading Mycobacterium sp. strain THO100 isolated from a morpholine-containing culture of activated sewage sludge. Arch Microbiol. 2006 Nov;186(5):425-34. Epub 2006 Aug 16.

This strain was able to utilize pyrrolidine, morpholine, piperidine, piperazine, and 1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine as the sole sources of carbon, nitrogen, and energy.
The degradation pathway of pyrrolidine as the best substrate for cellular growth was proposed based on the assays of substrate-induced cytochrome P450 and constitutive enzyme activities toward 4-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and succinic semialdehyde (SSA).
