The process of drug metabolism plays an important role in drug efficacy and toxicity in vivo. Thus, the development of cheap, continent, rapid and high-throughput method for drug metabolism studies has great guiding significance for the design of new drugs, the determination of drug dosage and the detection of clinical drugs. Since the key role played by Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) in phase-I drug reaction, the constructed CYP450 enzyme biosensor can be used for the initial screening of drugs. It is found that the replacement of coenzyme NADPH with an electrode is to provide two electrons demanded in the catalytic reaction. …

Using co-reactants to enhance the luminous efficiency of luminophores is a common, convenient and effective method in the construction of the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensors. However, the different methods of introducing co-reactants in the construction of the ECL biosensors will bring different amplification effects. In this review, several signal amplification methods through co-reactants are summarized: 1) Adding the co-reactants directly into the detection solution; 2) Immobilizing the co-reactants onto the electrode surface; 3) Using enzymatic reaction to generate co-reactants in situ around the electrode surface. And then, the outlook of the ECL signal amplification strategy is proposed on those bases.
