Hydroxy bosentan (Ro 48-5033) is a primary metabolite of Bosentan (BOS) metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system in the liver, assisting BOS pharmacologically with 10%-20% activity retention.
Erythromycin glutamate is a macrolide bacteriostatic antibiotic. This antibiotic is metabolized through the liver and inhibits cytochrome enzyme P450A 3A41.
(±)14(15)-EET is a metabolite of arachidonic acid that is formed via epoxidation of arachidonic acid by cytochrome P450.[1],[2] It prevents increases in leukotriene B4, ICAM-1, and chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 1 (CCL2) induced by oxidized LDL in primary rat pulmonary artery endothelial cells (RPAECs) when used at a concentration of 1 μM.[3] (±)14(15)-EET induces dilation of preconstricted isolated canine coronary arterioles (EC50 = 0.2 pM).[4] It reduces myocardial infarct size as a percentage of the area at risk in a canine model of ischemia-reperfusion injury induced by left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) occlusion when administered at a dose of 0.128 mg kg prior to occlusion or reperfusion.[5] Reference:[1].

Aflatoxin G1-13C17is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of aflatoxin G1by GC- or LC-MS. Aflatoxin G1is a mycotoxin that has been found inA. terricola.1In vivo, aflatoxin G1is lethal to ducklings (LD50= 1.18 mg kg).2It induces hepatocellular carcinoma tumor formation and lethality in rats when administered at doses of 1.4 and 3 mg animal, respectively. Aflatoxin G1also inhibits liver and kidney succinate dehydrogenase and fumarase, as well as kidney cytochrome oxidase, NADH oxidase, α-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, and malate dehydrogenase in rats.3 1.Moubasher, A.H., el-Kady, I.A., and Shoriet, A.Toxigenic Aspergilli isolated from different sources in EgyptAnn.

22-HDHA is an oxidation product of docosahexaenoic acid . In vitro, it is formed upon incubation of rat liver microsomes with DHA and NADPH and also by the human cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP4F3B in BTI-TN-5B1-4 microsomes. Serum levels of 22-HDHA increase following dietary DHA supplementation in humans.
Cytochrome P450 metabolites of arachidonic acid, such as 11(12)-EpETrE and 14(15)-EpETrE have been identified as endothelium derived hyperpolarizing factors with vasodilator activity. Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) catalyzes the conversion of EpETrEs to the corresponding DiHETrEs thereby diminishing their activity. Inhibitors of sEH may therefore have clinical utility for treating hypertension and systemic inflammation. S-NEPC is a colorimetric substrate used to measure sEH activity. It also is a substrate for Glutathione S-transferase, microsomal epoxide hydrolase and porcine liver carboxylesterase. Hydrolysis of S-NEPC by sEH yields 4-nitrophenol which can be quantified spectrophotometrically at 405 nm. S-NEPC is adaptable for use in 96-well microwell plate readers.
