Metabolic activation of troglitazone: identification of a reactive metabolite and mechanisms involved.

TL;DR: The mechanisms for metabolic activation of TGZ may involve an ultimate reactive sulfonium ion which could be formed from an initial sulfoxide followed by a formal Pummerer rearrangement, or a C5 thiazolidinedione radical or a sulfur cation radical.

Direct electron transfer between cytochrome P450scc and gold nanoparticles on screen-printed rhodium-graphite electrodes.

TL;DR: Investigation of electron transfer between cytochrome P450scc (CYP11A1) and gold nanoparticles immobilised on rhodium-graphite electrodes and the role of the nanoparticles in mediating electron transfer was verified confirms thatGold nanoparticles enhance electron transfer to the P 450scc when present on the r Rhodium- graphite electrodes.

CYP701A8: A Rice ent-Kaurene Oxidase Paralog Diverted to More Specialized Diterpenoid Metabolism

TL;DR: It appears that OsKOL4 plays a role in the more specialized diterpenoid metabolism of rice, and the results provide evidence for divergence of a KO/CYP701 family member from GA biosynthesis.

Comparison of caffeine metabolism by slices, microsomes and hepatocyte cultures from adult human liver.

TL;DR: Caffeine biotransformation by these three in vitro systems was low, however, metabolite formation was shown to proceed at a rate close to that calculated from in vivo caffeine elimination half-life.
Journal ArticleDOI

Generation and identification of reactive metabolites by electrochemistry and immobilized enzymes coupled on-line to liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry.

TL;DR: Electrochemical reactor and horseradish peroxidase immobilized on magnetic microparticles with liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry allows the direct detection of reactive metabolites of the model compounds amodiaquine, amsacrine, and mitoxantrone and are promising tools for the identification of both reactive and stable metabolites in drug development.

Hepatic Triphosphopyridine Nucleotide-Cytochrome c Reductase: Isolation, Characterization, and Kinetic Studies

TL;DR: Evidence is presented which suggests that this enzyme participates in a microsomal elect,ron transport system which does not include cytochrome c and kinetic evidence has been obtained which allows certain conclusions to be drawn concerning the mechanism of catalysis by this enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microsomal triphosphopyridine nucleotide-cytochrome c reductase of liver.

TL;DR: The biological role of reduced triphosphopyridine nucleotide (TPNH) and the metabolic pathways of its hydrogen atom and electron appear to be fundamentally different from those of reduced diphosphipyridineucleotide (DPNH).
