New luciferin-based probe substrates for human CYP26A1

Activity of human CYP26A1 towards six proluciferin probe substrates and their ester derivatives was monitored. These included three monofluorobenzyl ether isomers and three five-membered heterocycles. Overall, luciferin substrates with a free acid group gave higher activities than the ester compound...

Sumario:Activity of human CYP26A1 towards six proluciferin probe substrates and their ester derivatives was monitored. These included three monofluorobenzyl ether isomers and three five-membered heterocycles. Overall, luciferin substrates with a free acid group gave higher activities than the ester compounds. Also, luciferin derivatives with six-ring structures were better metabolized than those with five-rings. The best substrates identified in this study are Luciferin 6′ 3-fluorobenzyl ether (Luciferin-3FBE) and its methyl ester (Luciferin-3FBEME). Taken together, we describe eleven new probe substrates for CYP26A1 and demonstrate for the first time that CYP26A1 does not only accept acid substrates but can also metabolize esters.
