Application

Microsomes from Liver, Pooled has been used to measure the in vitro stabilities of the prodrugs. It has also been used in microsomal incubation to generate BTX-3 metabolites to serve as references for liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analyses of urine.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Liver microsomes are subcellular particles derived from the endoplasmic reticulum of hepatic cells. These microsomes are a rich source of drug metabolizing enzymes, including cytochrome P-450. Microsome pools from various sources are useful in the study of xenobiotic metabolism and drug interactions.
Microsomal cytochrome P450 proteins can catalyze the transfer of a single oxygen atom to endogenous and exogenous compounds, like steroids and phenobarbital, meant for excretion and detoxification.

Urine specimens from patients diagnosed with neurotoxic shellfish poisoning (NSP) were examined for biomarkers of brevetoxin intoxication. Brevetoxins were concentrated from urine by using solid-phase extraction (SPE), and analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

Isoprenoids are vital for all organisms, in which they maintain membrane stability and support core functions such as respiration1. IspH, an enzyme in the methyl erythritol phosphate pathway of isoprenoid synthesis, is essential for Gram-negative bacteria, mycobacteria and apicomplexans2,3. Its
