The Uses of RESORUFIN PENTYL ETHER

Resorufin pentyl ether has been used as a substrate to study the effects of Kaempferia parviflora extract on mouse hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes.

The Uses of RESORUFIN PENTYL ETHER

A fluorescent indicator of Cytochrome P 450 activity.

The Uses of RESORUFIN PENTYL ETHER

Fluorimetric substrate. Dealkylation of pentoxyresorufin: A rapid sensitive assay for measuring induction of cytochrome(s) P-450.

What are the applications of Application

Resorufin pentyl ether is a fluorimetric substrate for cytochrome P450 linked enzymes, CYP2B4 and CYP2B

General Description

Resorufin pentyl ether is an analog of resazurin. Resorufin is a redox probe which is colorless and non-fluorescent in its reduced state. On oxidation, it fluoresces red. Resorufin is used widely as an indicator in microbiological media. It can be used to differentiate between actively metabolizing cells and inactive or dead cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Fluorimetric substrate for cytochrome P450 linked enzymes, CYP2B and CYP2B4.
