WhichCyp: prediction of cytochromes P450 inhibition
SUMMARY In this work we present WhichCyp, a tool for prediction of which cytochromes P450 isoforms (among 1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6 and 3A4) a given molecule is likely to inhibit. The models are built from experimental high-throughput data using support vector machines and molecular signatures. AVAILABILITY The WhichCyp server is freely available for use on the web at http://drug.ku.dk/whichcyp, wh...
متن کاملCytochromes P450 in the bioactivation of chemicals.
The initial view that the cytochrome P450 enzyme system functions simply in the deactivation of xenobiotics is anachronistic on the face of mounting evidence that this system can also transform many innocuous chemicals to toxic products. However, not all xenobiotic-metabolising cytochrome P450 subfamilies show the same propensity in the bioactivation of chemicals. For example, the CYP2C, 2B and...
متن کاملMetabolism of melatonin by human cytochromes p450.
In humans, the pineal hormone melatonin (MEL) is principally metabolized to 6-hydroxymelatonin (6-HMEL), which is further conjugated with sulfate and excreted in urine. MEL O-demethylation represents a minor reaction. The exact role of individual human cytochromes P450 (P450s) in these pathways has not been established. We used a panel of 11 recombinant human P450 isozymes to investigate for th...
متن کاملClinical importance of the cytochromes P450.
The human cytochrome P450 (CYP) superfamily comprises 57 genes. These genes code for enzymes that can have a role in: metabolism of drugs, foreign chemicals, arachidonic acid and eicosanoids; cholesterol metabolism and bile-acid biosynthesis; steroid synthesis and metabolism; vitamin D(3) synthesis and metabolism; retinoic acid hydroxylation; and those of still unknown function. Cytochrome P450...
متن کاملThe roles of cytochromes P450 in vascular biology and cardiovascular homeostasis
Cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis are human health crises that remain the leading cause of death worldwide. The cytochromes P450 (CYPs) are key metabolizing enzymes of both xenobiotics and endobiotics. Many CYP enzymes have been identified in the heart, kidneys, endothelium, and smooth muscle of blood vessels. Furthermore, mounting evidence points to the role of endogenous CYP-dependen...
