    Abstract

    Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) catalyzes the oxidation of substrates with a positively charged nitrogen atom 5-7 angstroms from the site of the oxidation. The active-site topology of CYP2D6 is examined here with phenyl-, 2-naphthyl-, and p-biphenyldiazene, which react with P450 enzymes to form sigma-bonded aryl-iron (Fe-Ar) complexes. Ferricyanide-mediated migration of the aryl group from the iron to the porphyrin nitrogens produces the N-arylprotoporphyrin IX regioisomers (NB:NA:NC:ND, in which the aryl group is bound to the nitrogen of pyrrole rings B, A, C, and D, respectively) in the following ratios (zero means
