Systematic name: N,N-dimethylaniline,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (N-oxide-forming)

Comments: A flavoprotein. A broad spectrum monooxygenase that accepts substrates as diverse as hydrazines, phosphines, boron-containing compounds, sulfides, selenides, iodide, as well as primary, secondary and tertiary amines [3,4]. This enzyme is distinct from other monooxygenases in that the enzyme forms a relatively stable hydroperoxy flavin intermediate [4,5]. This microsomal enzyme generally converts nucleophilic heteroatom-containing chemicals and drugs into harmless, readily excreted metabolites. For example, N-oxygenation is largely responsible for the detoxification of the dopaminergic neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) [2,6]

The enzyme displaces a diverse range of substituents from the 4-position of polyhalogenated phenols but requires that a halogen substituent be present at the 2-position [2]. The enzyme converts many polyhalogenated phenols into hydroquinones, and requires that a halogen substituent be present at C-2 [2]. If C-4 carries a halogen substituent, reaction 1 is catalysed, e.g. 2,4,6-triiodophenol is oxidized to 2,6-diiodohydroquinone; if C-4 is unsubstituted, reaction 2 is catalysed.
