Dibenzylfluorescein is a fluorogenic probe that acts as a substrate for specific cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms, including CYP3A4, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and aromatase (CYP19). [1] [2] [3] Dibenzylfluorescein is dealkylated by these CYP isoforms to produce fluorescein benzyl ether, which is further hydrolyzed to fluorescein by the addition of base (typically 2 M NaOH). [3] Dibenzylfluorescein is typically used near its apparent Km value of 0.87-1.9 µM. [1] [2] [3] The fluorescence of fluorescein is evaluated using excitation/emission wavelengths of 485/538 nm. Dibenzylfluorescein is used to detect changes in CYP catalytic activity caused by drugs or disease.[1] [4]
