Abstract

A method for direct registration of CYP51b1 (sterol-14α-demethylase) activity with coumarin derivatives as substrate has been proposed. Determination of catalytic activity of this enzyme with 7-aminocoumarin-4-acetic acid (ACAC) is based on registration of the increase of fluorescence (λexcitation = 360 nm and λemission = 435 nm) at 30°C. In the model system for assay of CYP51b1 activity BMR (a flavin domain of the bacterial cytochrome P450BM-3) may serve as the electron donor. The developed method is simple, highly sensitive and accurate; it can be used for screening of sterol 14α-demethylase inhibitors.
