Abstract excerpt
Secobarbital (SB) is a relatively selective mechanism-based inactivator of cytochrome P450 2B1, that partitions between epoxidation and heme and protein modification during its enzyme inactivation. The SB-2B1 heme adduct formed in situ in a functionally reconstituted system has been spectrally documented and structurally characterized as N-(5-(2-hydroxypropyl)-5-(1-methylbutyl)barbituric acid)protoporphyrin IX....
