Project description:In the title compound, C(16)H(16), the central benzene ring adopts a boat conformation, with a dihedral angle of 34.7 (9)° between the mean planes of the two fused benzene rings. The two methyl groups at the apex of the central benzene ring are in axial and equatorial conformations. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak C-H⋯π inter-molecular inter-actions.

Project description:Cytochrome P-450 was purified to apparent homogeneity from the brain microsomes of phenobarbital-treated rats. The specific content of the purified P-450 was 12.7 nmol/mg of protein. NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase (reductase) was also purified to apparent homogeneity from brain microsomes. The specific content was 34.7 mumol of cytochrome c reduced/min per mg of protein. The reduced carbon monoxide spectrum of purified P-450 exhibited a peak at 450 nm. Both the P-450 and the reductase moved as single bands on SDS/PAGE. The molecular masses of the purified P-450 and the reductase were determined to be 53.3 and 72.0 kDa respectively. The purified brain P-450 cross-reacted with antibodies to rat liver P-450IIB1/IIB2 when examined by Western immunoblotting, but no immunological similarity was observed with rat liver P-450IA1/IA2 or P-450IIE1. Purified rat brain reductase cross-reacted with antibodies to rat liver reductase. Further, immunoblot experiments with untreated rat and human brain microsomes using antisera to the purified rat brain P-450 and reductase indicated that these forms of P-450 and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase exist constitutively in rat and human brain. Purified rat brain P-450 was reconstituted with purified NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, deoxycholate and dilauroyl glyceryl 3-phosphocholine. NADPH-dependent N-demethylation of aminopyrine and morphine was observed in the reconstituted system. The catalytic-centre activities were 80.25 and 38.2 nmol of formaldehyde formed/min per nmol of P-450 respectively. The reconstituted system had a comparatively lower catalytic-centre activity for 7-ethoxycoumarin O-de-ethylase (10.5 nmol of product formed/min per nmol of P-450).

Project description:In the title compound, C(27)H(16)Cl(2)N(4), the benzimidazo[1,2-a]benzo[f][1,8]naphthyridine system is nearly planar (r.m.s. deviation for all non-H atoms = 0.033 Å). The dichloro-phenyl substituent is rotated by -67.5 (2)° from this plane. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules form stacks along the crystallographic (100) direction due to π-π stacking inter-actions with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.4283 (9) Å.

Project description:In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(16)H(13)NO(2), adjacent mol-ecules are linked through C-H⋯π and π-π [centroid-centroid distances = 3.844 (2) Å] contacts. The anthracene ring system and dimethyl-amino group are oriented at a dihedral angle of 38.4 (1)°. In the crystal, the mean planes of adjacent anthracene units are inclined at angles of 59.3 (1), 75.7 (1) and 76.0 (1)°.

Project description:A single injection of thioacetamide to rats results in a striking decrease in liver cytochrome P-450. The drug blocks the phenobarbitone-mediated induction of cytochrome P-450b. Under these conditions, there is a decrease in the synthesis of cytochrome P-450b, which is essentially due to a decrease in the amount of translatable mRNA for cytochrome P-450b. This effect of thioacetamide is not due to a general effect on protein synthesis or polyribosome stability. Multiple injections of thioacetamide also decrease the synthesis of cytochrome P-450b and the amounts of its translatable mRNA.

Project description:1. The topography of cytochrome P-450 in vesicles from smooth endoplasmic reticulum of rat liver has been examined. Approx. 50% of the cytochrome is directly accessible to the action of trypsin in intact vesicles whereas the remainder is inaccessible and partitioned between luminal-facing or phospholipid-embedded loci. Analysis by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis reveals three major species of the cytochrome. Of these, the variant with a mol.wt. of 52000 is induced by phenobarbitone and this species is susceptible to trypsin. 2. After trypsin treatment of smooth membrane, some NADPH-cytochrome P-450 (cytochrome c) reductase activity remains and this remaining activity is enhanced by treatment with 0.05% deoxycholate, which renders the membranes permeable to macromolecules. In non-trypsin-treated control membranes the reductase activity is increased to a similar extent. These observations suggest an asymmetric distribution of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 (cytochrome c) reductase in the membrane. 3. As compared with dithionite, NADPH reduces only 44% of the cytochrome P-450 present in intact membranes. After tryptic digestion, none of the remaining cytochrome P-450 is reducible by NADPH. 4. In the presence of both a superoxide-generating system (xanthine plus xanthine oxidase) and NADPH, all the cytochrome P-450 in intact membrane (as judged by dithionite reducibility) is reduced. The cytochrome P-450 remaining after trypsin treatment of smooth vesicles cannot be reduced by this method. 5. The superoxide-dependent reduction of cytochrome P-450 is prevented by treatment of the membranes with mersalyl, which inhibits NADPH-cytochrome P-450 (cytochrome c) reductase. Thus the effect of superoxide may involve NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase and cytosolically orientated membrane factor(s).

Project description:AIM:Using bacterial, yeast, or mammalian cell expressing a human drug metabolism enzyme would seem good way to study drug metabolism-related problems. Human cytochrome P-450 2C9(CYP2C9) is a polymorphic enzyme responsible for the metabolism of a large number of clinically important drugs. It ranks among the most important drug metabolizing enzymes in humans. In order to provide a sufficient amount of the enzyme for drug metabolic research, the CYP2C9 cDNA was cloned and expressed stably in CHL cells. METHODS:After extraction of total RNA from human liver tissue, the human CYP2C9 cDNA was amplified with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and cloned into cloning vector pGEM-T. The cDNA fragment was identified by DNA sequencing and subcloned into a mammalian expression vector pREP9. A transgenic cell line was established by transfecting the recombinant vector of pREP9-CYP2C9 into CHL cells. The enzyme activity of CYP2C9 catalyzing oxidation of tolbutamide to hydroxy tolbutamide in S9 fraction of the cell was determined by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). RESULTS:The amino acid sequence predicted from the cDNA segment was identical to that of CYP2C9*1, the wild type CYP2C9. However, there were two base differences, i.e. 21T>C, 1146C>T, but the encoding amino acid sequence was the same, L7, P382. The S9 fraction of the established cell line metabolizes tolbutamide to hydroxy tolbutamide; tolbutamide hydroxylase activity was found to be 0.465 +/- 0.109 micromol.min(-1).g(-1) S9 protein or 8.62 +/- 2.02mol.min(-1).mol(-1) CYP, but was undetectable in parental CHL cell. CONCLUSION:The cDNA of human CYP2C9 was successfully cloned and a cell line of CHL- CYP2C9, efficiently expressing the protein of CYP2C9, was established.

Project description:Reaction of tetrafluoropyridazine with catechol gives a tricyclic 9,10-dioxa-1,2-diaza-anthracene system by a sequential nucleophilic aromatic substitution ring annelation process, further extending the use of perfluoroheteroaromatic derivatives for the synthesis of unusual polyfunctional heterocyclic architectures. The tricyclic scaffold reacts with amines and sodium ethoxide providing a short series of functional 9,10-dioxa-1,2-diaza-anthracene systems.

Project description:The kinetics of thiol-group alkylation in NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase during its inactivation by monobromobimane has been studied using the fluorimetric determination of S-bimane-L-cysteine by high-performance liquid chromatography. Loss of activity during the reaction of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase with monobromobimane is caused by the alkylation of one single critical cysteine residue, which can be protected against thiol-specific reagents by NADP(H). The chemical stability of the bimane group allows the digestion of bimane-labelled NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase by CNBr. The critical cysteine residue could be located in a CNBr-cleaved peptide purified to homogeneity with Mr 10 500 +/- 1 000 and valine as N-terminus.
