Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases are involved in many cases of resistance of insects to insecticides. Resistance has long been associated with an increase in monooxygenase activities and with an increase in cytochrome P450 content. However, this increase does not always account for all of the resistance. In Drosophila melanogaster, we have shown that the overproduction of cytochrome P450 can be l...

INTRODUCTION There are limited treatment options for people with schizophrenia with cytochrome P450 2D6 ultrarapid metabolizer status who do not respond to amisulpride.Furthermore, the literature does not provide evidence-based guidelines for this particular constellation. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 50-year-old Caucasian female patient with schizophrenia and cytochrome P450 2D6...

Cytochrome P450 metabolizes arachidonic acid to several unique and biologically active compounds in rabbit liver and kidney. Microsomal fractions prepared from rabbit lung homogenates metabolized arachidonic acid through cytochrome P450 pathways, yielding cis-epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) and their hydration products, vic-dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids, mid-chain cis-trans conjugated dienols,...

Cytochrome P450 (P450) 2S1 is one of the orphan P450s without a clear physiological function. Controversy has arisen as to whether it can interact with NADPH-P450 reductase and accept electrons. The reduction of 1,4-bis{[2-(dimethylamino-N-oxide)ethyl]amino}-5,8-dihydroxyanthracene-9,10-dione (AQ4N) by P450 2S1 was confirmed, and the NADPH consumption rates were measured aerobically and anaerob...

Electrochemical biosensors that combine high selectivity of biochemical affinity with precise electrochemical detection are one the most necessary and powerful tools for assessing environmental pollution. This review addresses assess pollutant toxicity. using enzyme activity inhibition, DNA, whole cells, cytochrome P450 will be introduced, their advantages applications discussed, trends challen...
