Abstract

We recently reported on the design, synthesis and characterisation of a novel and selective substrate of human cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6), 7-methoxy-4-(aminomethyl)-coumarin (MAMC). Here, we describe a high-throughput microplate reader assay, which makes use of MAMC as a fluorescent probe for determining the inhibition and activity of CYP2D6 in heterologously expressed systems and human liver microsomes. The high-throughput screening (HTS) assay can be used both in an end-point and real-time configuration, and is easy to use, rapid and sensitive. In addition, end-point measurements by means of flow injection analysis have also successfully been performed. The HTS-assay was validated by performing inhibition experiments for several low- and high-affinity ligands (n=6) of CYP2D6, and comparing the findings to those obtained with the standard O-demethylation assay of dextromethorphan. The results indicate that all compounds tested display competitive inhibition in both the MAMC and dextromethorphan assay, and the K(i) values reveal a very good correlation (R
