Cyp3a4

Manufactured by BD
Sourced in United States

CYP3A4 is a cytochrome P450 enzyme that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of a wide range of drugs and other xenobiotic compounds. It is responsible for the oxidative biotransformation of a variety of substrates, including prescription medications, environmental pollutants, and endogenous compounds. CYP3A4 is an important tool for researchers and scientists working in the fields of pharmacology, toxicology, and drug development.

Cytochrome P450 Enzyme Inhibition Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CYP inhibition was performed with the recombinant enzymes CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4 obtained from BD Biosciences. Compounds for CYP inhibition testing were prepared as 10 mM stock solutions in DMSO. Isoform-specific substrates were incubated at 37 °C individually with P450 enzymes (Table 5) and a range of test compound concentrations (1.1, 3.3 and 10 μM) in duplicate. Each isoform was tested separately with one reference compound, a known positive control inhibitor. During preincubation, the 96-well black plates were scanned with a fluorescence plate reader to eliminate false results originating from the autofluorescence of the test compounds. At the end of the incubation, product formation was monitored with fluorescence detection. A decrease in the formation of the metabolite compared to the “no inhibition” control samples was used to calculate the IC50 value.

A pool of human liver microsomes (HLM) from 50 donors, CYP2E1, CYP3A4, and CYP2C9 were purchased from (BD Biosciences, Missisauga, ON). CYP2E1 was modified by the reactive metabolite of INH in two ways: 1) by reacting CYP2E1 with INA-NHS, which we refer to as CYP2E1-INH, in a similar manner to the modification of lysozyme and 2) by incubation of CYP2E1 (0.5 mg/mL) with INH (500 μM) and a NADPH-generating system (Solutions A and B; BD Biosciences) for 1 hour at 37 °C.
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); 96-well microtiter plate (Bethyl Laboratories, Montgomery, TX) was coated with 400 ng of protein overnight. Proteins included HLM, CYP2E1, CYP2E1-INH, CYP3A4, CYP2C9, lysozyme or L-INH. Human serum diluted 1:1000 in TBST containing 4% milk was used as primary antibody and allowed to sit overnight with slight agitation. As secondary antibody, polyclonal goat anti-human IgG-peroxidase (AbD Serotec) was used. Color was developed using 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) solution and absorbance was monitored at 450 and 540 nm.

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.
