The microsomal O-deethylation of a novel coumarin analog, 7-ethoxy-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin (EFC), to a fluorescent product was characterized. Results indicate that this analog provides a rapid, convenient and highly sensitive means to assay cytochrome P-450-mediated metabolism. Like microsomal 7-ethoxycoumarin (7-EC) O-deethylation, EFC

Metabolism plays a key role in chemical genotoxicity; however, most mammalian cells used for in vitro genotoxicity testing lack effective metabolizing enzymes. We recently developed a battery of TK6-derived cell lines that individually overexpress 1 of 8 cytochrome P450s (CYP1A1

Until recently, all known structures of bacterial cytochromes P450 suggested that substrate access to the buried active site occurred via the F-G region, a surface loop distal to the heme cavity. However, the structure of P450 51 indicates a large

Tamoxifen is primarily used in the treatment of breast cancer. It has been approved as a chemopreventive agent for individuals at high risk for this disease. Tamoxifen is metabolized to a number of different products by cytochrome P450 enzymes. The

In this study, we have evaluated the use of ultra-sterile alginate hydrogels encapsulated with HepG2 liver cells for applications in high throughput drug screening. We have studied the cellular viability and metabolic capacity of the encapsulated cells in two different
