Description
Tienilic acid (TA) was withdrawn from the US market due to numerous cases of liver necrosis. Two major hypotheses currently used to understand the mechanisms of idiosyncratic reactions such as TA-induced hepatotoxicity are the hapten and danger hypotheses. Both human cytochrome (CYP) P450 2C9 and the rat ortholog CYP 2C11 metabolize TA, and it was reported that a reactive metabolite of TA binds almost exclusively to these enzymes, thus acting as a mechanism-based inhibitor. TA-induced liver toxicity is associated with antibodies against CYP 2C9, thus TA appears to act as a hapten. However, if the binding were limited to CYP 2C, it is unlikely that this would lead to significant cell stress. Thus, if TA does not cause cell stress it would suggest that a drug does not have to generate a danger signal in order to cause an idiosyncratic drug reaction and acting as a hapten is sufficient. In order to test whether TA can cause cell stress, male Sprague Dawley rats were orally dosed with TA, and hepatic gene expression was profiled at 6 and 24 h after drug administration.
