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.

Predicting human exposure of active drug after oral prodrug administration, using a joined in vitro/in silico-in vivo extrapolation and physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling approach.

TL;DR: Adding quantitative information about prodrug conversion in the gut, liver and blood to a PBPK model for the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion properties of prodrugs and their active moieties resulted, retrospectively, in reasonable predictions of the human PK when the ADME properties are well understood.

Arylacetamide Deacetylase Is Involved in Vicagrel Bioactivation in Humans.

TL;DR: This study is the first to determine that human arylacetamide deacetylase (AADAC) is involved in 2-oxo-clopidogrel production from vicagrel in human intestine, and deepens the understanding of the bioactivation and metabolism properties of vicag Rel in humans.

Hyperpolarized 1,3-13C2-Ethyl acetoacetate is a novel diagnostic metabolic marker of liver cancer

TL;DR: Low molecular weight ethyl‐esters were identified, which showed high specificity for carboxyl esterases and proved in many cases to possess good properties for signal enhancement, and hyperpolarized [1,3‐13C2]ethyl acetoacetate (EAA) was shown to provide a metabolic fingerprint of HCC.

Interspecies differences in stability kinetics and plasma esterases involved in hydrolytic activation of curcumin diethyl disuccinate, a prodrug of curcumin

TL;DR: The difference in the hydrolysis rates and the metabolizing enzymes of CDD metabolism in rat, dog and human plasma observed here is of benefit to further in vivo studies and provides a rationale for designing ester prodrugs of CUR with esterase-specific bioactivation.
