Summary
Nonsolubilized rat liver microsomes have been noncovalently immobilized on an immobilized artifical membrane (IAM) HPLC chromatographic support to create a microsomal immobilized enzyme reactor (MIC-IMER). The MIC-IMER has been used for the on-line synthesis and analysis of Phase II metabolism conjugates. The activity of the MIC-IMER was investigated by following thein vitro glucuronidation of two well known UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UDPGT; EC 2.4.1.17) substrates, 4-nitrophenol (4NP) and 4-methylumbelliferone (4Me7OHC). The substrates underwent conjugation with UDPGA and the rate of conjugation reaction in the MIC-IMER was compared with the same reaction in the test-tube.
