A rapid, convenient assay for flavin-containing monooxygenase activity is described. The method is based on direct analysis of quenched incubation mixtures by reverse-phase liquid chromatography, and utilizes p-nitrophenyl-1,3-oxathiolane as the substrate. The synthesis of the substrate and the product are described. The usefulness of p-nitrophenyl-1,3-oxathiolane S-oxide formation as a measure of flavin-containing monooxygenase activity was demonstrated using highly purified and microsomal hog and rat liver flavin-containing monooxygenase. The assay is especially useful for determining stereoselectivity of flavin-containing monooxygenase activity in small amounts of crude tissue preparations.
