Ethoxyresorufin: direct fluorimetric assay of a microsomal o-dealkylation which is preferentially inducible by 3-methylcholanthrene

TL;DR: Liver microsomes from rat and hamster O-deethylated ethoxyresorufin to resoruf in (7-hydroxyphenoxazone) in an NADPH-and oxygen-dependent reaction involving the flavoprotein.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ethoxy-, pentoxy- and benzyloxyphenoxazones and homologues: a series of substrates to distinguish between different induced cytochromes P-450.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the use of some or all of these homologous phenoxazone ethers will provide both a simple routine test for the characterization of several types of inducing agents and a powerful tool for investigating the biochemical basis for cyt.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dealkylation of pentoxyresorufin: a rapid and sensitive assay for measuring induction of cytochrome(s) P-450 by phenobarbital and other xenobiotics in the rat.

TL;DR: The O-dealkylation of pentoxyresorufin by rat liver microsomes was examined and it was observed that this activity, in microsome for Aroclor-pretreated rats, was dependent on O2 and was inhibited by metyrapone and SKF 525-A, indicative of cytochrome P-450 mediation in the reaction.
Book ChapterDOI

[39] Direct fluorometric methods for measuring mexed-function oxidase activity

TL;DR: This chapter focuses on the direct fluorometric methods for measuring mixed-function oxidase activity, and two fluorescent assays are encapsulated in this chapter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential effects of phenobarbitone and 3-methylcholanthrene induction on the hepatic microsomal metabolism and cytochrome P-450-binding of phenoxazone and a homologous series of its n-alkyl ethers (alkoxyresorufins).

TL;DR: The metabolism and cytochrome P-450-binding of phenoxazone and a homologous series of its n-alkyl ethers was studied in hepatic microsomes of control, phenobarbitone- pretreated (PB) and 3-methylcholanthrene-pretreated (3MC) C57/BL10 mice, and intermicrosomal differences were interpreted as reflecting the different metabolic specificities of variant forms of cyto chrome P- 450.
