The field of cytochrome P450 (P450) research has developed considerably over the past 20 years, and many important papers on the roles of P450s in chemical toxicology have appeared in Chemical Research in Toxicology. Today, our basic understanding of many of the human P450s is relatively well-established, in terms of the details of the individual genes, sequences, and basic catalytic mechanisms. Crystal structures of several of the major human P450s are now in hand. The animal P450s are still…

Inhibition and induction of human cytochrome P450 enzymes: current status
TLDR
This review covers both inhibition and induction of CYP enzymes, always keeping in mind the basic mechanisms on which to build predictive and preventive in vitro approaches.
CYP450 Enzymes in Drug Discovery and Development: An Overview
TLDR
The most recent advances in knowledge and application of P450 enzymes in drug discovery and development with particular emphasis on their involvement in the metabolism of drugs are described.
Yeast as a humanized model organism for biotransformation-related toxicity.
TLDR
This review will discuss the use of yeast expressing (mammalian) P450s as a powerful, additional model system in drug safety and describe the properties of yeast as a model system, including the endogenous bioactivation enzymes present, the heterologous expression of (m Mammalian)P450s and the application of yeasts expressingheterologous P 450s and/or other biotransformation enzymes in toxicity studies.
Microsomal cytochrome P450 as a target for drug discovery and repurposing
TLDR
This review presents the therapeutic potential of finding effective, selective and safe treatments targeting P450-mediated AA metabolism, and the several approaches that have been used to find these treatments; among which, a focus was on modulators of P450 activities.

Generation and Characterization of Novel Cytochrome P450 Cyp2c Gene Cluster Knockout and CYP2C9 Humanized Mouse Lines
TLDR
To investigate the in vivo functions of cytochrome P450 Cyp2c genes and to establish a model for studying the functions of CYP2C9 in vivo, a mouse model with a deletion of the murine Cyp2C gene cluster and a corresponding humanized model expressing CYP 2C9 specifically in the liver are generated.
Deletion of 30 Murine Cytochrome P450 Genes Results In Viable Mice With Compromised Drug Metabolism
TLDR
Cyp2c/2d/3a KO mice provide a powerful model to study the in vivo role of the P450 system in drug metabolism and efficacy, as well as in chemical toxicity.
In Silico Prediction of Cytochrome P450-Mediated Biotransformations of Xenobiotics: A Case Study of Epoxidation.
TLDR
This work has calculated the activation energies for epoxidation by the active species of P450 enzymes (an iron-oxo porphyrin cation radical oxidant, compound I) for a diverse set of 36 olefinic substrates with state of theart density functional theory (DFT) methods.
Defining Human Pathways of Drug Metabolism In Vivo through the Development of a Multiple Humanized Mouse Model
TLDR
In this most complex humanized mouse model reported to date, the cytochromes P450 function as predicted and it is illustrated how these mice can be applied to predict drug-drug interactions in humans.
Bioactivation of Aromatic Amines by Human CYP2W1, An Orphan Cytochrome P450 Enzyme
The human genome contains approximately 13 orphan cytochrome P450 (P450, CYP) genes, of which the apparent function or substrate has not been identified. However, they seem to possess their own…

TLDR
An understanding of the nature of the individual cytochrome P450 enzymes and their regulation should be useful in determining the most suitable animal models, ascertaining risk from chemicals, and in avoiding undesirable drug interactions.
Human cytochrome P-450 enzymes.
Activation of chemically diverse procarcinogens by human cytochrome P-450 1B1.
TLDR
The selectivity of this enzyme in the activation of a variety of environmental carcinogens and mutagens in Salmonella typhimurium TA1535/pSK1002 or NM2009 tester strains was examined using the SOS response as an end point of DNA damage.
Structural basis for ligand promiscuity in cytochrome P450 3A4
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 is the most promiscuous of the human CYP enzymes and contributes to the metabolism of ≈50% of marketed drugs. It is also the isoform most often involved in unwanted…
Multiple Sequential Steps Involved in the Binding of Inhibitors to Cytochrome P450 3A4*
TLDR
A three-step minimal model for inhibitor binding is proposed, developed with kinetic simulations, consistent with the previously reported model for the binding of substrates, although it is possible that even more steps are involved.
Oral exposure to benzo[a]pyrene in the mouse: detoxication by inducible cytochrome P450 is more important than metabolic activation.
TLDR
The present data indicate that, in the intact animal, inducible CYP1A1 is extremely important in detoxication and protection against oral BaP toxicity.

TLDR
The understanding of the interrelation between CYP1A induction and chemical safety has followed a full circle and underscores the importance of whole animal and human studies in chemical safety evaluation.
Adaptations for the Oxidation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Exhibited by the Structure of Human P450 1A2*♦
TLDR
The structure of human P450 1A2 in complex with the inhibitor α-naphthoflavone is presented, providing the first structure of a microsomal P450 from family 1 and offers a template to study further structure-function relationships of alternative substrates and other cytochrome P450 family 1 members.
Cooperativity in oxidations catalyzed by cytochrome P450 3A4.
TLDR
A model is presented in which binding of substrate in a particular conformation can facilitate oxygen activation to enhance catalysis and support a model in which an allosteric site is involved, although the proximity of this putative site to the catalytic site cannot be ascertained as of yet.
