In our preliminary study, it has been found that VX oxidase exists in the microsome fraction of rat liver and the catalytic reaction needs the participation of molecular oxygen and coenzyme I or II. In this paper, the data showed that deoxycholate inactivated both the mixed function oxidase and VX oxidase. The specific inhibitor proadifen of the mixed function oxidase also profoundly inhibited VX oxidase activity. The complex of VX and cytochrome P-450 exhibited typical difference spectrum of type I. Aniline competitively inhibited the inactivation of VX catalyzed by microsomes. These results indicate that VX is one of the substrates of mixed function oxidase. VX oxidase in the rat liver cells is exactly the mixed function oxidase.

D002800 Cholinesterase Inhibitors Drugs that inhibit cholinesterases. The neurotransmitter ACETYLCHOLINE is rapidly hydrolyzed, and thereby inactivated, by cholinesterases. When cholinesterases are inhibited, the action of endogenously released acetylcholine at cholinergic synapses is potentiated. Cholinesterase inhibitors are widely used clinically for their potentiation of cholinergic inputs to the gastrointestinal tract and urinary bladder, the eye, and skeletal muscles; they are also used for their effects on the heart and the central nervous system.

D006899 Mixed Function Oxygenases Widely distributed enzymes that carry out oxidation-reduction reactions in which one atom of the oxygen molecule is incorporated into the organic substrate; the other oxygen atom is reduced and combined with hydrogen ions to form water. They are also known as monooxygenases or hydroxylases. These reactions require two substrates as reductants for each of the two oxygen atoms. There are different classes of monooxygenases depending on the type of hydrogen-providing cosubstrate (COENZYMES) required in the mixed-function oxidation.
