TLDR
Substantial species differences in activity of these esterases were observed between the mouse, rat, dog monkey and human, and such species differences must be considered when using these preclinical species to optimize the pharmacokinetic properties of ester compounds intended for human use.
Abstract
Species and tissue differences in the activity of three major classes of esterases, carboxylesterase (CE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and paraoxonase (PON), were studied. Substantial species differences in activity of these esterases were observed between the mouse, rat, dog monkey and human. Such species differences must be considered when using these preclinical species to optimize the pharmacokinetic properties of ester compounds intended for human use.

ω-Imidazolyl- and ω-Tetrazolylalkylcarbamates as Inhibitors of Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase: Biological Activity and in vitro Metabolic Stability

TL;DR: With the aid of esterase inhibitors it was shown that in porcine plasma, carboxylesterase‐like enzymes and paraoxonase are involved in carbamate cleavage, and it was found that highly active pyridin‐3‐yl carbamates reacted with albumin, which led to covalent albumin adducts.

Physiologically based kinetic modelling based prediction of in vivo rat and human acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition upon exposure to diazinon

TL;DR: In this article, a physiological based kinetic (PBK) modeling-facilitated reverse dosimetry was used to predict in vivo human and rat red blood cell (RBC) acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition upon diazinon (DZN) exposure.

Synthesis of New Branched 2-Nitroimidazole as a Hypoxia Sensitive Linker for Ligand-Targeted Drugs of Paclitaxel

TL;DR: A new bioreductive linker based on 2-nitroimidazole, which was used in three paclitaxel (PTX) prodrugs, was designed and synthesized and was promising in the development of ligand-targeted drugs.

Metabolic Stability and Metabolite Characterization of Capilliposide B and Capilliposide C by LC⁻QTRAP⁻MS/MS.

TL;DR: The results updated the preclinical metabolism and disposition process of LC-B and LC-C, which provided additional information for better understanding efficacy and safety, and the metabolic pathway in mice was proposed.
