Resorufin benzyl ether ;7-Benzyloxy-3H-phenoxazin-3-one

7-Benzyloxyresorufin

Resorufin benzyl ether is a chemical compound that can be used as a substrate for cytochrome P450. It has been shown to inhibit the activity of epoxide hydrolase, an enzyme involved in the metabolism of endoperoxides. Resorufin benzyl ether has also been found to inhibit cytochrome P450 enzymes, which are responsible for oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics. This compound has been shown to have a high affinity for mouse monoclonal antibody and is used in immunoassays to detect mouse antibodies. Resorufin benzyl ether is used in biochemical assays and polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) as a fluorescence marker. In addition, this compound is used in model systems to study enzyme activities such as recombinant cytochrome p450 and protein oxidation by reactive oxygen species (ROS).
