Aromatase, cytochrome P450 19, is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of estrogens by the human placenta. It is also the major placental enzyme that metabolizes the opiates l-acetylmethadol (LAAM), methadone, and buprenorphine (BUP). Methadone and BUP are used in treatment of the opiate addict and are competitive inhibitors of testosterone conversion to estradiol (E2) and 16α-hydroxytestosterone (16-OHT) to estriol (E3) by aromatase. The aim of this investigation is to determine the effect of 20 opiates, which can be administered to pregnant patients for therapeutic indications or abused, on E2and E3formation by placental aromatase. Data obtained indicated that the opiates increased, inhibited, or had no effect on aromatase activity. Their effect on E3formation was more pronounced than that on E2due to the lower affinity of 16-OHT than testosterone to aromatase. The Kivalues for the opiates that inhibited E3formation were sufentanil, 7±1μM; LAAM, 13±8μM; fentanyl, 25±5μM; oxycodone, 92±22μM; codeine, 218±69μM; (+)-pentazocine, 225±73μM. The agonists morphine, heroin, hydromorphone, oxymorphone, hydrocodone, propoxyphene, meperidine, levorphanol, dextrorphan, and (−)-pentazocine and the antagonists naloxone and naltrexone caused an increase in E3formation by 124–160% of control but had no effect on E2formation. Moreover, oxycodone and codeine did not inhibit E2formation and the IC50values for fentanyl, sufentanil, and (+)-pentazocine were >1000μM. It is unlikely that the acute administration of the opiates that inhibit estrogen formation would affect maternal and/or neonatal outcome. However, the effects of abusing any of them during the entire pregnancy are unclear at this time.
