Application

7-Ethoxyresorufin (7-ER) is a substrate used in environmental toxicology studies to monitor ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase catalytic activity in the EROD assay. The EROD assay monitors the induction of the xenobiotic-metabolizing enzyme cytochrome P-450 (CYP) 1A1 and is a widely used biomarker for exposure of wildlife to substances that bind the aryl hydrocarbon (Ah) receptor. It provides evidence of receptor-mediated induction of cytochrome P450-dependant monooxygenases (the CYP1A subfamily specifically) by xenobiotic chemicals.

An assay was characterized that facilitated per-cell estimation of cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenase activities in whole-cell suspensions and cultures of murine epidermal keratinocytes (MEKs). 7-Ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase (7-ECD), 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (7-ERD), and 7-pentoxyresorufin O-deethylase (7-PRD) activities were monitored by fluorescent detection of

Avian-specific toxic equivalency factors (TEFs) were developed by the World Health Organization to simplify environmental risk assessments of dioxin-like compounds (DLCs), but TEFs do not account for differences in the toxic and biochemical potencies of DLCs among species of birds.

A fluorescence-microscopic method has been developed for measurement of the intracellular kinetics of the cytochrome P-450 reaction, ethoxyresorufin O-de-ethylation, in individual hepatocytes in unfixed non-frozen liver sections obtained from control or 3-methylcholanthrene-pretreated mice. De-ethylation was enhanced in the presence of
