M. Tegtmeier et W. Legrum, APPROACH TO DETECT SUBSTRATES SUITABLE TO MEASURE THE COUMARIN 7-HYDROXYLASE (CYP 2A-5) - STRUCTURE-ACTIVITY-RELATIONSHIPS, Archiv der pharmazie, 327(5), 1994, pp. 299-302
Besides coumarin, which up to now has remained the most selective subs
trate for the coumarin 7-hydroxylase (Coh), 7-ethoxycoumarin, quinolin
e, 4-methylcoumarin, 7-ethoxy-4-methylcoumarin, 7-ethoxy-4-ethylcoumar
in, and psoralen are suitable for this enzyme. - The quantification of
the suitability of a substrate to selectively measure the coumarin 7-
hydroxylase is achieved by a graphic method. - Requirements for servin
g as a substrate of the Coh are bicyclic ring systems with an electron
rich moiety.
