Metabolite Identification
Common NameMethylergonovine
DescriptionMethylergonovine, also known as ergotyl or methylergobasin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as lysergamides. These are amides of Lysergic acids. Its specific binding and activation pattern on these receptors leads to a highly, if not completely, specific contraction of smooth uterus muscle via 5-HT2A serotonin receptors, while blood vessels are affected to a lesser extent compared to other ergot alkaloids. Due to its oxytocic properties, it has a medical use in obstetrics. It is available as tablets or injection (IM or IV) or in liquid form to be taken orally. Methylergonovine is a drug which is used for the prevention and control of excessive bleeding following vaginal childbirth. It is also contraindicated in HIV positive patients taking protease inhibitors, delavirdine and efavirenz (which is also an agonist at the 5HT2A-mGlu2 receptor protomer and increases the chances of a patient experiencing hallucinations during methylergometrine therapy). Methylergometrine (also called methylergonovine, methylergobasin, and D-lysergic acid 1-butanolamide) is a synthetic analogue of ergometrine, a psychedelic alkaloid found in ergot, and many species of morning glory. Methylergonovine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Methylergonovine is a potentially toxic compound. It can also increase constriction of blood vessels caused by sympathomimetic drugs and other ergot alkaloids. Methylergometrine likely interacts with drugs that inhibit the liver enzyme CYP3A4, such as azole antifungals, macrolide antibiotics and many HIV drugs. Methylergometrine maleate is marketed under the trade name Methergine.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in monooxygenase activity
Specific function:
Cytochromes P450 are a group of heme-thiolate monooxygenases. In liver microsomes, this enzyme is involved in an NADPH-dependent electron transport pathway. It performs a variety of oxidation reactions (e.g. caffeine 8-oxidation, omeprazole sulphoxidation, midazolam 1'-hydroxylation and midazolam 4-hydroxylation) of structurally unrelated compounds, including steroids, fatty acids, and xenobiotics. Acts as a 1,8-cineole 2-exo-monooxygenase. The enzyme also hydroxylates etoposide.
