Thus, EH acts as a detoxification agent. Epoxides are formed from degradation of aromatic compounds[1]. Bifunctional EH 2 or soluble EH (SEH) is a bifunctional enzyme with the C-terminal domain having EH activity and the N-terminal domain having lipid phosphatase activity. Limonene-1,2-epoxide hydrolase catalyzes the conversion of limonene-1,2-epoxide to limonene-1,2-diol[2] . Disease Inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis EH such as urea derivatives, are used as anti-tuberculosis drugs. The valpromide inhibitor of EH is used as anti-epileptic drug. Soluble EH plays a role in several diseases including cardiovascular ones and is a drug target for their therapy [3]. Relevance Structural highlights . (PDB code 5alf).[4]
