The Aspergillus fumigatus Damage Resistance Protein Family Coordinately Regulates Ergosterol Biosynthesis and Azole Susceptibility

open access: yesmBio, 2016
Ergosterol is a major and specific component of the fungal plasma membrane, and thus, the cytochrome P450 enzymes (Erg proteins) that catalyze ergosterol synthesis have been selected as valuable targets of azole antifungals.

Cytochrome P450 2C24: expression, tissue distribution, high-throughput assay, and pharmacological inhibition

open access: yesActa Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2012
Cytochrome P450 (CYP)-mediated epoxidation of arachidonic acid (AA) contributes to important biological functions, including the pain-relieving responses produced by analgesic drugs. However, the relevant epoxygenase(s) remain unidentified. Presently, we

Cytochrome P450-Activated Prodrugs [PDF]

open access: yesFuture Medicinal Chemistry, 2013
A prodrug is a compound that has negligible, or lower, activity against a specified pharmacological target than one of its major metabolites. Prodrugs can be used to improve drug delivery or pharmacokinetics, to decrease toxicity, or to target the drug to specific cells or tissues.

Cytochrome P450 Dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The unique P450 architecture is designed, in part, to enable the structure to adopt open and closed conformations. These changes are required to provide substrate access to the active site. Some of these motions also appear to be important in proton-coupled electron transfer associated with O2 activation.

Porcine Cytochrome P450 and Metabolism [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Pharmaceutical Design, 2006
The pig and especially the minipig are becoming increasingly used as a test animal both in pharmacological and toxicological testing of new compounds. The minipig is used because of its size, it is easy to handle and less test substrate is required. When using an animal species for testing it is of importance to know if the test animal's posses the ...

Cytochromes P450: a success story.

open access: yesGenome biology, 2000
Cytochrome P450 proteins, named for the absorption band at 450 nm of their carbon-monoxide-bound form, are one of the largest superfamilies of enzyme proteins. The P450 genes (also called CYP) are found in the genomes of virtually all organisms, but their number has exploded in plants.
