Application

6-Hydroxychlorzoxazone has been used for HPLC-based metabolic assays of chlorzoxazone.
6-hydroxy Chlorzoxazone has been used: as a reference standard to monitor substrate depletion or 6-hydroxy chlorzoxazone formation by cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily E member 1 (CYP2E1)in recombinant human enzyme screening. 6-Hydroxychlorzoxazone has been used for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-based metabolic assays of chlorzoxazone.
CYP2E1 & 1A2 metabolite of chlorzoxazone.

Biochem/physiol Actions

6-hydroxy Chlorzoxazone is a novel metabolite of chlorzoxazone. It is formed by the hydroxylation of chlorzoxazone by cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily E member 1 (CYP2E1) enzyme. The determination of formation and clearance of 6-hydroxychlorzoxazone is used as a reliable marker of CYP2E1 metabolic activity.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Preparation Note

6-Hydroxychlorzoxazone is soluble in methanol.

A gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric method is presented which allows the determination of chlorzoxazone and 6-hydroxychlorzoxazone after derivatization with the reagent N-tert.-butyldimethylsilyl-N-methyltrifluoroacetamide. No interference was observed from endogenous compounds following the extraction of plasma samples from six different human subjects. The

Assessing CYP2E1 phenotype in vivo may be important to predict individual susceptibility to those chemicals, including benzene, which are metabolically activated by this isoenzyme. Chlorzoxazone (CHZ), a specific CYP2E1 substrate, is readily hydroxylated to 6-OH-chlorzoxazone (6-OH-CHZ) by liver CYP2E1 and
