General description

Resorufin ethers are used as markers or substrates for different cytochrome P (CYP) isoforms. Resorufin ethyl ether is the preferred resorufin ether to be metabolized by microsomes of 3-methylcholanthrene treated animals.
Resorufin is the reduced product of resazurin, also termed as Alamar Blu. It exhibits fluorescence at longer wavelengths and is flexible for modification in its hydroxyl group.

Research area: Cell Signaling

Application

Resorufin ethyl ether is suitable for the study of dealkylating activity of cytochrome P450 isozymes 1A1 and 1A2, where arylalkyl and alkyl isothiocyanates, and their glutathione, cysteine, and A′-acetylcysteine conjugates are used as inhibitors. It is suitable to study the ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity of cytochrome P450 activity (CYP1A1).

Tilapia fish (Oreochromis niloticus) were fed with enriched diets containing broccoli and its phytochemical sulforaphane over 30 d. The levels of cytochrome P450, superoxide dismutase, catalase, lipid peroxidation and glutathione-S-transferase activities were measured. Basal value of cytochrome P450 activity was
