Phase 1 drug metabolism is catalyzed by two groups of monooxygenases, the cytochrome P450s (CYPs) and the flavin monooxygenases (FMOs). Both CYPs and FMOs are localized in the endoplasmic reticulum. Collectively, these enzymes catalyze the oxidation of a very broad range of substrates. Both classes are dependent on NADPH as a source of electrons, but the two classes exhibit significant differences in mechanism and substrate specificity.
