Application

Microsomes from Liver, Pooled has been used to measure the in vitro stabilities of the prodrugs. It has also been used in microsomal incubation to generate BTX-3 metabolites to serve as references for liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analyses of urine.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Microsomal cytochrome P450 proteins can catalyze the transfer of a single oxygen atom to endogenous and exogenous compounds, like steroids and phenobarbital, meant for excretion and detoxification.
Liver microsomes are subcellular particles derived from the endoplasmic reticulum of hepatic cells. These microsomes are a rich source of drug metabolizing enzymes, including cytochrome P-450. Microsome pools from various sources are useful in the study of xenobiotic metabolism and drug interactions.
