Disease relevance of Resorufin pentyl ether

• These data suggest that cytochrome P-450, ethylmorphine demethylation, and ethoxyresorufin deethylation are more susceptible to ischemia-reperfusion injury than cytochrome b5 or pentoxyresorufin dealkylation [1].
• In contrast, induction of CYP1A1 by Aroclor or beta-naphthoflavone, or inhibition of CYP2B1 by O,O,S-trimethyl-phosphorodithioate, as assessed by measurement of lung microsomal dealkylation of ethoxyresorufin or pentoxyresorufin, did not change ipomeanol toxicity [2].

High impact information on Resorufin pentyl ether

• Dietary PEITC decreased the hepatic P450 content by 25%, but increased (2-fold) the O-dealkylase activities of 7-pentoxyresorufin (indicative of P450 2B1) and 7-ethoxyresorufin (indicative of P450 1A) in the liver microsomes of mice consuming the 3 mumol of PEITC/g of diet [3].
• In hepatic microsomes from uninduced mice, cytochrome P450 levels and the rates of dealkylation of ethoxyresorufin, benzyloxyresorufin, pentoxyresorufin, and aminopyrine were significantly reduced, by 40-60%, after 48 hr of infection [4].
• Each variant protein was spectrally and enzymatically active, as judged by the ability of the prepared microsomes to catalyse O-dealkylation of ethoxyresorufin and pentoxyresorufin in cumene hydroperoxide-mediated reactions [5].
• Kinetic analysis showed that human CYP2B6 preferentially metabolized benzyloxyresorufin and pentoxyresorufin, although other CYPs also metabolized these substrates in human liver microsomes [6].
• Methoxy- and pentoxyresorufin O-dealkylase activities (associated with CYP1A2 and CYP2B1/2, respectively) decreased in olfactory and respiratory mucosae, as well as lung (CYP2B1/2), yet increased in liver [7].

Biological context of Resorufin pentyl ether

• Antibodies 1A and 3A inhibit both cytochrome P4501A1-dependent ethoxycoumarin hydroxylation activity and P4502B1-dependent pentoxyresorufin dealkylation activity, but the inhibition by 1A and 3A was not additive [8].
• In this study, the kinetics of inactivation of CYP2B-dependent 7-pentoxyresorufin O-depentylation (PROD) and CYP1A-dependent 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation (EROD) activities by enantiomers of N-(alpha-methylbenzyl)-1-aminobenzotriazole (alphaMB) were compared [9].
• Furthermore, the different effects of both phosphatidylcholines on the Km and V for pentoxyresorufin not only suggest a role of phospholipids in the binding of the substrate to the active site of the cytochrome P-450 molecule, but also on the efficiency of electron transfer from NADPH-cytochrome reductase to cytochrome P-450 [10].
• The time course for enzyme induction was monitored by measuring 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) and 7-pentoxyresorufin O-depentylase (PROD) activities on days 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 [11].
• A comparative study investigating the effects of various concentrations did not reveal, however, a clear correlation between the suppression of apoptosis and the induction of CYP2B-catalyzed 7-pentoxyresorufin O-dealkylase (PROD) activity [12].

Anatomical context of Resorufin pentyl ether

• In this work, we have separated nonpigmented epithelial (NPE) cells and pigmented epithelial (PE) cells from porcine ciliary body and determined basal and induced activities of 7-ethoxyresorufin (ER) O-dealkylase, 7-pentoxyresorufin (PR) O-dealkylase, and UDP-glucuronosyl transferase (UDP-GT) using primary cultures of separated cells [13].
• In this study, CYP2B1/2 activity in cultured hepatocytes was assessed in situ with the introduction of a fluorogenic substrate, pentoxyresorufin [14].
• The method is based on the metabolism by cells cultured in microwells of appropriate substrates at noncytotoxic concentrations (8 microM 7-ethoxyresorufin and 15 microM 7-pentoxyresorufin) [15].
• 5. Ethoxyresorufin and pentoxyresorufin O-dealkylation were not detected in either muscle microsomes or myoblasts although immunocytochemical localisation studies were suggestive of the presence of cytochrome P-450 [16].
• The metabolism of hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA), aminopyrine, ethoxycoumarin, ethoxyresorufin, and pentoxyresorufin, by the monooxygenase cytochrome P-450-dependent system, was studied in microsomes from nasal epithelial membranes and liver tissue of Sprague-Dawley rats [17].

Associations of Resorufin pentyl ether with other chemical compounds

• At the highest dosage tested, loratadine caused a 7.3- and 8.5-fold increase in the rate of testosterone 16 beta-hydroxylation and 7-pentoxyresorufin O-dealkylation, respectively, compared with a 22- and 45-fold increase caused by phenobarbital treatment [18].
• Assays of 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation (EROD), 7-pentoxyresorufin O-depentylation (PROD), aniline 4-hydroxylation (AH) and the specific regioselective hydroxylation of testosterone were used as representatives of the activities of seven isoenzymes of cytochrome P450 [19].
• In contrast to rat liver microsomes, the trypanosomatid extracts showed no detectable pentoxyresorufin depentylase or pentamidine hydroxylase activity [20].
• DEX predominantly leads to induction of 2B2, which may explain the low pentoxyresorufin O-depentylase activity in these microsomes [21].
• OA treatment also decreased several P450 enzyme activities, such as coumarin 7-hydroxylation (45%), 7-pentoxyresorufin O-dealkylation (35%), 7-ethoxyresorufin O-dealkylation (25%) and chlorzoxazone 6-hydroxylation (20%) [22].

Gene context of Resorufin pentyl ether

• These data supports the assumption that CYP3A4 expression is transcriptionally activated during the first week after birth and is accompanied by a simultaneous decrease of CYP3A7 expression, in such a way that the overall CYP3A protein content and the level of pentoxyresorufin dealkylase catalyzed by the two proteins remain nearly constant [23].
• Coumarin 7-hydroxylase activity was greater in the human as compared with the rhesus monkey samples, whereas erythromycin N-demethylase, benzphetamine N-demethylase, pentoxyresorufin O-dealkylase, ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase, and ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase activities were significantly greater in rhesus monkey microsome samples (p < or = 0.01) [24].
• COMT deficiency did not significantly change the activities of liver glutathione S-transferase, quinone reductase or 7-ethoxyresorufin and 7-pentoxyresorufin O-dealkylation [25].
• In rats, CYP1A1 (ethoxyresorufin) and CYP2B (pentoxyresorufin) dealkylase activities were highest in the parenchyma, whereas CYP2E1 (p-nitrophenol) hydroxylase activity was highest in the airways [26].
• Also, hepatic 7-ethoxy-(EROD) and 7-pentoxyresorufin O-dealkylating (PROD) activities and total cytochrome P450 content were measured [27].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Resorufin pentyl ether

• Changes in CYP were determined by measuring total spectral CYP, the rates of ethoxy- and pentoxyresorufin dealkylations, and the protein expression of several CYPs by western blot analysis of liver microsomes [28].
• We observed that pentoxyresorufin O-deethylation activity was well maintained and ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation activity gradually decreased during co-culture time [29].
• The lesser inducibility of CYP2B1 in adult female rats was attributed to the presence of an intact ovary because prepubertal ovariectomy (day 25 of age) resulted in increased induction of CYP2B1 and its associated activities (androstenedione 16beta-hydroxylase, benzyloxyresorufin O-dealkylase and pentoxyresorufin O-dealkylase) by phenobarbital [30].
• Both pulmonary and renal microsomal P450 2B dependent 7-pentoxyresorufin O-depentylation (PRFD) activity was decreased (50 and 75% of donor) 1 day after transplantation but was essentially unchanged 3, 7, and 21 days after transplantation [31].
