“…It has been shown that the utilization of human P450 enzymes enables the sufficient production of human drug metabolites employing baculovirus-infected insect cells expressing CYP3A4 or CYP2D9 (Rushmore et al, 2000), fission yeast expressing CYP2D6 (Peters et al, 2007) or CYP2C9 (Drǎgan et al, 2011;Neunzig et al, 2012), and Escherichia coli cells expressing CYP3A4, CYP2C9, and CYP1A2 (Vail et al, 2005). Since it is not mandatory to employ associated human P450 enzymes to synthesize human drug metabolites (Schroer et al, 2010;Geier et al, 2015), microbial, especially bacterial, P450 enzymes serve as a good alternative because they are convenient to handle and usually hold higher expression levels and activities, recommending the possibility to employ them as useful biocatalysts (Bernhardt, 2006). The genetic manipulation of bacterial P450 enzymes toward a drug metabolizing activity has been successfully demonstrated for several P450 enzymes including the most studied P450 102A1 (BM3), CYP102A1 (Whitehouse et al, 2012;Ren et al, 2015).…”
