Beside using the knockout models, I need the most commonly used CYP2E1 agonist and antagonist that used for mimic and block CYP2E1 activity, respectively, especially in rat models. Suggestions with published references are highly appreciated.
If you mean substrate and inhibitor (enzymes have 'substrates' and 'inhibitors', while receptors have 'agonists' and 'antagonists'), then the 3-hydroxylation of p-nitrophenol, the 6-hydroxylation of chlorzoxazone and the 4-hydroxylation of aniline are all good CYP2E1-selective reactions. By virtue of this fact, each of these substrates is also a good competitive inhibitor of any other CYP2E1-catalyzed reaction. Other CYP2E1-selective inhibitors include diethyldithiocarbamate, clomethiazole and diallyldisulfide.
Please loook at my publications for human models published in Drug Metabolism Reviews 1997 and. 2oo2. I would ruther talko about indicers, inhibitors, and/or activators and not about agonists or antagonists of the enzyme activities.
