Abstract

Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) is a key enzyme that mediates the metabolism of various drugs and endogenous substances in humans. However, its biological role in drug-drug interactions especially mechanism-based inactivation (MBI), and various diseases remains poorly understood, owing to the lack of molecular tools suitable for selectively monitoring CYP2D6 in complex biological systems. Herein, using a tailored molecular strategy, we developed a fluorescent probe BDPM for CYP2D6. BDPM exhibits excellent specificity and imaging capability for CYP2D6, making it suitable for the real-time monitoring of endogenous CYP2D6 activity in living bio-samples. Therefore, our tailored strategy proved useful for constructing the highly selective and enzyme-activated fluorescent probes. BDPM as a molecular tool to explore the critical roles of CYP2D6 in the pathogenesis of diseases, high-throughput screening of inhibitors and intensive investigation of CYP2D6-induced MBI in natural systems.
