Bioactivation of N-substituted N'-(4-imidazole-ethyl)thioureas by human FMO1 and FMO3

    Research output: Contribution to JournalArticleAcademicpeer-review

    Abstract

    Enzyme kinetic parameters of the bioactivation of thiourea-containing compounds by human flavin-containing monooxygenase enzymes (FMOs) FMO1 and FMO3 were investigated. A microtitre-based adaptation of methodology described for the thiourea-dependent oxidation of thiocholine was used to determine the turnover of thiourea-containing compounds by human FMO1 and FMO3. The results show that major differences in enzyme kinetic parameters for N-substituted N′-(4-imidazole-ethyl)thiourea exist between human FMO3 and human FMO1. Whereas K
