A flavoprotein. A broad spectrum monooxygenase that accepts substrates as diverse as hydrazines, phosphines, boron-containing compounds, sulfides, selenides, iodide, as well as primary, secondary and tertiary amines [3,4]. This enzyme is distinct from other monooxygenases in that the enzyme forms a relatively stable hydroperoxy flavin intermediate [4,5]. This microsomal enzyme generally converts nucleophilic heteroatom-containing chemicals and drugs into harmless, readily excreted metabolites. For example, N-oxygenation is largely responsible for the detoxification of the dopaminergic neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) [2,6]
catalytic cycle and catalytic reaction mechanism, structure-function relationship, FMO oxygenates drugs and xenobiotics containing a soft nucleophile, usually nitrogen or sulfur, utilizing the reducing equivalents of NADPH to reduce 1 atom of molecular oxygen to water, while the other atom is used to oxidize the substrate, FMO does not require a reductase to transfer electrons from NADPH, substrate binding has no effect on velocity, formation of a peroxyflavin intermediate

nitrogen- and sulfur-containing endogenous substrates and physiologic functions, the enzyme is involved in detoxification and drug metabolism, overview
the lung isozyme is distinct from the liver isozyme in having high activity toward primary alkyl amines, restricted substrate specificity related to steric properties, resistance to detergent inhibition and enhanced thermal stability, and restricted substrate access, no activity of the lung isozyme with 1,3-diphenylthiourea, chlorpromazine and imipramine by isozyme FMO2, isozyme substrate specificity, detailed overview
benzydamine is a weak base and an indazole derivative with analgesic and antipyretic properties used in human and veterinary medicine, it is metabolized to a wide range of metabolites. One of the main metabolites, benzydamine N-oxide is produced in the liver and brain by flavin-containing monooxygenases
