Ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD), methoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (MROD), and pentoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (PROD) assays were performed to determine the activities of CYP1A1, CYP1A2, and CYP2B as described previously [21 (link)]. The differentiated cells were treated with 1 μM 7-ethoxyresorufin (Fanbo biochemical, Beijing, China), methoxyresorufin (Fanbo biochemical), and pentoxyresorufin (Sigma-Aldrich) for 24 hours, respectively. The fluorescent products of CYP450 substrates leaked from cells were determined at a wavelength of 585 nM in the absorption under Infnite® 200 PRO (Tecan, Männedorf, Switzerland). Quantitative studies employed the high-purity reference standard of resorufin (Fanbo biochemical) for assay standardization.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
