Application
- Characterization, antimicrobial and antitumor activity of superoxide dismutase extracted from Egyptian honeybee venom (Apis mellifera lamarckii).: This study explores the extraction and characterization of superoxide dismutase from honeybee venom, highlighting its antimicrobial and antitumor properties. Potassium cyanide was used in the biochemical analysis to understand the enzyme′s activity and stability (Abdel-Monsef et al., 2023).
- Cytochromes P450 2C8 and 3A Catalyze the Metabolic Activation of the Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Masitinib.: This research investigates the metabolic pathways of masitinib, focusing on the role of cytochromes P450. Potassium cyanide is used to inhibit specific enzymatic activities during the analysis, providing insights into drug metabolism and potential toxicological impacts (Latham et al., 2022).
- Profiling of in vivo, in vitro and reactive zorifertinib metabolites using liquid chromatography ion trap mass spectrometry.: The study details the metabolic profiling of zorifertinib using advanced chromatographic techniques. Potassium cyanide serves as an analytical reagent to assess the stability and reactivity of various metabolites (Al-Shakliah et al., 2022).
- Structural and Biochemical Characterization of a Dye-Decolorizing Peroxidase from Dictyostelium discoideum.: The research characterizes a peroxidase enzyme from Dictyostelium discoideum, utilizing potassium cyanide in the enzymatic assays to inhibit specific reactions and better understand the enzyme′s functionality (Rai et al., 2021).
