The microsomal fraction from tulip bulbs (Tulipa fosteriana, L.) contains cytochrome P450 (CYP3, EC 1.14.14.1) and peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7.) enzymes catalyzing the NADPH - and hydrogen peroxide - dependent oxidation of the xenobiotic substrates, N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), Nw-nitrosomethylaniline (NMA), aminopyrine and 1-phenylazo 2-hydroxynaphthalene (Sudan I), respectively. Oxidation of these model xenobiotics has also been assessed in a reconstituted electron-transport chain with a partially purified CYP fraction, phospholipid and isolated tulip NADPH:CYP reductase (EC 1.6.2.4.). Peroxidase isolated from tulip bulbs (isoenzyme C) oxidizes these xenobiotics, too. Values of kinetic parameters (K-m, V-max), requirements for cofactors (NADPH, hydrogen peroxide), the effect of inhibitors and identification of products formed from the xenobiotics by the microsomal fraction, partially purified CYP and peroxidase C were determined. These data were used to estimate the participation of the CYP preparation and peroxidase C in oxidation of two out of the four studied xenobiotics (NMA, Sudan I) in tulip microsomes. Using such detailed study, we found that the CYP-dependent enzyme system is responsible for the oxidation of these xenobiotics in the microsomal fraction of tulip bulbs. The results demonstrate the progress in resolving the role of plant CYP and peroxidase enzymes in oxidation of xenobiotics. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
A concept for stimulated proton transfer in 1-(phenyldiazenyl)naphthalen-2-ols
shown that Sudan I (1) exists as a tautomeric mixture. The effect of the solvents is minimized by the existing intramolecular hydrogen bond. Therefore, the influence on the tautomeric state in structurally modified 1 has been investigated. Structure 2 contains an additional OH-group, which deprotonates easily and affects the position of the tautomericequilibrium by changing the electronic properties
