Optimization Study of Coumarin 7-Hydroxylase Enzyme Activity in Mouse Brain and Liver
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, the optimum conditions (pH, amount of protein, substrate concentration, incubation time) of a cytochrome P450 dependent enzyme, coumarin 7-hydroxylase (COH), activity were determined in microsomal fractions of mouse liver and brain. It’s indicated that different reaction conditions are required for this enzyme activity in mouse liver and brain microsomes. The results obtained, reveal the requirement of optimization studies on COH activity for different tissues of mouse.

Expression of human cytochromes P450 in chimeric mice with humanized liver.
Recently, a chimeric mouse line in which the liver could be replaced by more than 80% with human hepatocytes was established in Japan. Because the chimeric mouse produces human albumin (hAlb), replacement by human hepatocytes could be estimated by the hAlb concentration in the blood of chimeric mice. In this study, we investigated human major cytochrome P450 (P450) in the livers of chimeric mic...
متن کاملCompetition between cytochrome P-450 isozymes for NADPH-cytochrome P-450 oxidoreductase affects drug metabolism.
NADPH-cytochrome P-450 oxidoreductase (CPR) is essential for the catalytic activity of cytochrome P-450 (P-450). On a molar basis, the amount of P-450 exceeds that of CPR in human liver. In this study, we investigated whether drug-drug interactions can occur as a result of competition between P-450 isozymes for this ancillary protein. For this purpose, combinations of P-450 isozymes were coexpr...
متن کاملInduction of cytochrome P450 2A6 expression in humans by the carcinogenic parasite infection, opisthorchiasis viverrini.
The purpose of this study was to examine in vivo the activity of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2A6, an enzyme capable of activating carcinogens, including N-nitrosodimethylamine, in humans with the carcinogenic liver fluke infection, opisthorchiasis viverrini, before and after treatment with the antiparasitic agent, praziquantel. Coumarin hydroxylase activity of CYP 2A6 was assessed by administering a ...
متن کاملIn vitro comparison of cytochrome P450-mediated metabolic activities in human, dog, cat, and horse.
As domestic animals such as cat, horse, and dog increasingly become the clinical targets for drug discovery programs, the need to understand how these animals metabolize xenobiotics becomes more important. In the present study, substrates and inhibitors that were reported to be selective for particular P450 isozymes were used as probes to study in vitro metabolism in horse, dog, cat, and human ...
متن کاملHuman liver CYP2B6-catalyzed hydroxylation of RP 73401.
RP 73401 is a potent inhibitor of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase type IV. RP 73401 is metabolized by human liver microsomes almost exclusively by transhydroxylation of the cyclopentyl group to RPR 113406. Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry analysis of plasma from patients given RP 73401 also revealed a molecular ion and fragmentation consistent with RPR 113406. Thus,...
