Abstract

The timing of the beta-thujone radical clock (see scheme) can be specifically altered by an allosteric effector. Progesterone, a well-documented CYP3A4 allosteric effector, was found to increase the yield of the unrearranged, C4-derived product of beta-thujone oxidation at the expense of the combined yields of all the rearranged C4-oxidized metabolites. The results demonstrate that the apparent radical recombination rate in the CYP3A4 hydroxylation of beta-thujone is accelerated by the progesterone heterotropic cooperativity.
