Metabolic studies of 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT) in humans have demonstrated that this compound is primarily eliminated as a 5′-O-glucuronide, 3'-azido-3'-deoxy-5'-β-d-glucopyranuronosylthymidine (GAZT), accounting for approximately 80% of the administered dose. Recently, we characterized the complete catabolic pathway of AZT in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes in suspension, demonstrating extensive formation of three catabolites, including GAZT, 3'-amino-3'-deoxythymidine (AMT), and 3'-amino-3'-deoxy-5'-β-d-glucopyranuronosylthymidine (GAMT). The present study evaluated the effects of probenecid (PROB) and acetaminophen (ACET), two agents which are also metabolized by UDP-glucuronyltransferase, on the metabolism and transmembrane distribution of AZT in rat hepatocytes. Pre-exposure of cells to 350 μM PROB 30min prior to the addition of 10 μM [3H]AZT decreased intracellular GAZT levels by approximately 10-fold. Interestingly, AMT formation was enhanced approximately 1.5-fold in the presence of PROB, probably resulting from increased AZT availability. In contract, pre-exposure to 50 μM ACET 30 min prior to addition of 10 μM [3H]AZT did not substantially alter AZT glucuronidation. Additionally, decreased AZT catabolism by PROB did not contribute to the formation of 5'-phosphorylated derivatives of AZT. Agents which undergo glucuronidation may thus not necessarily affect AZT conversion to GAZT, and their potential interactions should be investigated usingin vitrosystems prior to co-administration with AZT.
