Abstract
The extent to which electrochemical oxidation, electrochemically assisted Fenton chemistry and synthetic metalloporphines can be used to mimic cytochrome P450 catalyzed oxidations has been investigated for a large range of metabolic reactions. Most relevant metabolic oxidations can be mimicked by at least one of the three investigated systems. The EC oxidation system successfully mimics benzylic hydroxylation, hydroxylation of aromatic rings containing electron‐donating groups, N‐dealkylation, S‐oxidation, dehydrogenation and less efficiently N‐oxidation and O‐dealkylation. The EC‐Fenton system is able to mimic aliphatic hydroxylation, benzylic hydroxylation, aromatic hydroxylation, N‐dealkylation, N‐oxidation, O‐dealkylation, S‐oxidation and dehydrogenation. The porphine system mimics all types of reactions although the yields are low for some reactions. In conclusion, these three complementary systems can be used during the drug discovery and development of new drugs to elucidate the structure of metabolites that are difficult to characterize in biological matrices. Moreover, such techniques can replace the classical chemistry strategy, especially when synthesis is complicated or too time‐consuming in order to access metabolites for further testing.
