Microbial metabolism of sulfur- and phosphorus-containing xenobiotics.
The enzymes involved in the microbial metabolism of many important phosphorus- or sulfur-containing xenobiotics, including organophosphate insecticides and precursors to organosulfate and organosulfonate detergents and dyestuffs have been characterized. In several instances their genes have been cloned and analysed. For phosphonate xenobiotics, the enzyme system responsible for the cleavage of ...
متن کاملFlavin Containing Monooxygenases and Metabolism of Xenobiotics
Bu derlemede flavin-içeren monooksijenazların (FMO) farmakolojik ve toksikolojik önemi ile ilgili güncel bilgiler özetlenmiştir. FMO’lar nükleofilik hetereatom içeren ksenobiyotiklerin ve ilaçların oksidasyonuna katılan mikrozomal bir enzim ailesidir. FMO’ların ilaç metabolizmasındaki etkinlikleri ve hastalıklarla olan ilişkileri, daha fazla araştırılması gereken alanlardır. FMO’lar üzerine yap...
متن کاملMicrobial transformation of xenobiotics
Introduction The term xenobiotic (Greek xenos + bioticos, which means “strange” and “life-related” respectively) means a chemical substance that is not a natural component of a living organism exposed to it, i.e. a strange, exogenous substance or anthropogenic material. This definition covers substances strange to the target organisms, hence its use for most poisons and drugs. An important grou...
متن کاملDirect microbial interference with xenobiotics
Introduction The human body is home to a complex microbial ecosystem. The gastrointestinal tract houses the most numerous microbial community (the gut microbiota), consisting of approximately 1013 microbial cells (1). Collectively, the aggregate genomes of the gut microbiota encode more than 100 times as many unique genes as the approximately 20,000 protein-coding genes found in the human genom...
متن کاملOxidative metabolism of xenobiotics during pregnancy: significance of microsomal flavin-containing monooxygenase.
Pregnancy related changes in oxidative metabolism of model substrates were examined in CD1 mice. As compared to nonpregnant females, a significant decrease in the hepatic microsomal aminopyrine-but not in dimethylaniline-N-demethylase activity was observed in pregnant mice. The rates of microsomal flavin-containing monooxygenase-catalyzed N-oxidation of dimethylaniline remained relatively uncha...
