Description

Application

Microsomes from Liver, Pooled has been used:

• in the glucuronidation kinetics assay to test the effects of herbal extracts on glucuronidation process
• as a human liver microsomes (HLM) matrix for testing metabolic stability of talazoparib using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS)
• to study the metabolization of enantiomeric peptide D3

Microsomes from liver have been used in a study to assess differences in enzymatic activities between normal rat livers and from liver after partial hepatectomy. They have also been used in a study to investigate the carbon monoxide-binding pigment in liver microsomes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

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.

N-glucuronidation of various 1-substituted imidazoles was found to occur in human liver microsomes.

Source of drug metabolizing enzymes, including cytochrome P-450.
