alcanivorax borkumensis is a marine bacterium that has ability to grow on limited substrates that mainly is alkanes. the ability to use wide range of hydrocarbons is advantage of this bacterium to other marine community bacteria. a. borkumensis have two genetic systems for alkane biodegradation. the first system is alkane hydroxylase (alk-b1and alk-b2) and the second system is  cytochrome p450....

a “cocktail”of several probe drugs is often used to evaluate metabolic activity of multiple cytochrome p450 enzymes in one session. some interactions among probe drugs can appear and may impact the rate of biotransformation of other ones. our presented work was to aim on the influence of bupropion on rat cytochrome p450-mediated metabolism of tolbutamide. the biotransformation rates of tolbutam...

conclusions in this experimental study, for the first time in iran the expression and purification of this recombinant protein was done successfully. this recombinant protein could be used as a vaccine candidate and diagnostic purpose in subsequent investigations. results the highest expression of the cytochrome p450 cyp141 protein was obtained by the addition of 1 mm of isopropyl β-d-1-thiogal...

dacarbazine (dtic) is a synthetic chemical antitumor agent which is used to treat malignant melanoma and hodgkin’s disease. dtic is a prodrug which is converted to an active form undergoing demethylation by liver enzymes. the active form prevents the progress of disease via alkylation of dna strand. in the structure of this drug, the imidazole ring, a triazen chain and carboxamide group exist. ...

in this research, we investigated the cytotoxic mechanisms of one of the widely used pharmaceuticals that are regularly associated with the adverse effects on the liver, sometimes leading to acute liver failure, diclofenac. diclofenac liver cytotoxicity was associated with reactive oxygen species (ros) formation and lipid peroxidation which were inhibited by antioxidants and ros scavengers, fer...
