There is circumstantial evidence suggesting that 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) could be biotransformed by enzymatic systems other than monoamino oxidase A, and that the isoforms of cytochrome P450 may be a source of nitric oxide. This study aimed to assess whether cytochrome P450 contributes to 5-HT biotransformation, and to provide evidence that 5-HT metabolism generates nitric oxide. Addition of 5-HT to cultured hepatocytes yielded 5-hydroxyindol acetic acid, a formation modulated by cytochrome P450 enzyme inducers and inhibitors. Recombinant human CYP2B6, 2C9 and 2C19 biotransformed 5-HT in 5-hydroxyindol acetic acid, but not CYP1A2, 2D6 or 3A4. Cultured hepatocytes with 5-HT generated nitric oxide, the amount of which was altered by cytochrome P450 enzyme inducers and inhibitors. In the presence of CYP2B6, 2C9 and 2C19, 5-HT relaxed precontracted isolated aortic rings, with or without endothelium, an effect prevented by the addition of methylene blue and an inhibitor of catalase, but not by myoglobin. In the absence of catalase, hydroxylamine was always assayed as a byproduct of 5-HT metabolism. In conclusion, CYP2B6, 2C9 and 2C19 biotransform 5-HT, yielding hydroxylamine, which is converted to nitric oxide in the presence of catalase.British Journal of Pharmacology (2004) 141, 407-414. doi:10.1038/sj.bjp.0705632 相似文献

Methadone is a μ-opioid receptor agonist widely used in the treatment of narcotic addiction and chronic pain conditions. Methadone is metabolized predominantly in the liver by cytochromes P450 to its pharmacologically inactive primary metabolite 2-ethylidene-1,5-dimethyl-3,3-diphenylpyrrolidine. Initial in vitro data suggested that CYP3A4 is the major isoform responsible for the in vivo clearance of methadone in humans. However, recent clinical data have indicated that CYP2B6 is actually the major isoform responsible for methadone metabolism and clearance in vivo. In this study, methadone was shown to act as a mechanism-based inactivator of CYP2B6. Methadone inactivates CYP2B6 in a time-, concentration-, and NADPH-dependent manner with a K(I) = 10.0 μM and k(inact) = 0.027 min(-1). The loss of CYP2B6 activity in the presence of methadone and NADPH occurred with concomitant loss of the reduced CO spectrum of the P450. Moreover, there was good correlation between the loss of CYP2B6 activity and the loss of the CO-binding spectrum. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis of the native heme of the inactivated CYP2B6 demonstrated that approximately 75% loss of heme was accompanied by comparable inactivation of CYP2B6. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis did not reveal the formation of a protein adduct during the inactivation. The evidence strongly suggests that destruction of prosthetic heme is the underlying mechanism leading to the inactivation of CYP2B6 by methadone. 相似文献

The selective toxicity of chemicals to lung tissues is predominantly mediated by the selective expression of certain pulmonary cytochrome P450 enzymes. This report describes the purification, cloning, and characterization of a unique enzyme, CYP4B2, from goat lung. The purified P450 enzyme was isolated by multistep ion exchange chromatography to electrophoretic homogeneity with an apparent molecular mass of 55,000 Da. Western blotting studies demonstrated that CYP4B enzymes were selectively expressed in lung tissues of rabbits, rats, and mice. Two cDNAs, CYP4B2 and CYP4B2v, were cloned from goat lung tissue. CYP4B2 was predicted to be 511 amino acids and approximately 82% similar to the four known CYP4B1 proteins. Concurrently, a variant of the known human CYP4B1 cDNA, that contained a S207 insertion, was cloned from human lung tissue. The modified recombinant goat CYP4B2 was expressed in Escherichia coli and the enzyme catalyzed the N-hydroxylation of the prototypical substrate 2AF. CYP4B2 preferentially dehydrogenated, rather than hydroxylated, the pneumotoxicant 3-methylindole (3MI) (V(max) = 4.61 versus 0.83 nmol/nmol of P450/min, respectively). To investigate the relevance of covalent heme binding of CYP4 enzymes in CYP4B2-mediated metabolism of 3MI, a site-directed mutant (CYP4B2/A315E) was evaluated. The mutation had little effect on the V(max) of either dehydrogenation or hydroxylation but increased the K(m), which decreased the catalytic efficiency (V/K) for 3MI. The A315E mutation shifted the absorbance maximum of the enzyme from 448 to 451 nm, suggesting that the electron density of the heme was altered. These results demonstrate that CYP4B2 is highly specific for methyl group oxidation of 3MI, without formation of ring-oxidized metabolites, and seems to be predominately responsible for the highly organ-specific toxicity of 3MI in goats. 相似文献

Oxidative metabolism of carbamazepine results in covalent binding of its reactive metabolite to liver microsomal proteins, which has been proposed as an important event in pathogenesis of the hypersensitivity reactions to this drug. Although the proposed reactive metabolites are produced by cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450 or CYP), the impact of the formation of unstable metabolites on the enzyme itself has not been elucidated. The present study examines the alteration of P450 enzyme activities during the metabolism of carbamazepine. Liver microsomes from rats and humans were preincubated with carbamazepine in the presence of NADPH, and subsequently assayed for monooxygenase activities representing several P450s. No evidence was obtained for inactivation of CYP2C11, CYP3A, CYP1A1/2 or CYP2B1/2 in rat liver microsomes during the carbamazepine metabolism, whereas the CYP2D enzyme was inactivated in a manner related to the preincubation time. Interestingly, under the same protocol human liver microsomes did not exhibit inactivation of CYP2D6, as well as there being no CYP2C8, CYP2C9 or CYP3A4 inactivation, whereas CYP1A2 was inactivated. Reduced glutathione could not protect against the observed inactivation of the P450s. These results suggest that CYP2D enzyme(s) in rats and CYP1A2 in humans biotransform carbamazepine into reactive metabolites, resulting in inactivation of the enzyme themselves, and raise the possibility that the P450 isoforms participate in toxicity induced by the drug in both animal species. 相似文献

The use of selective chemical inhibitors of human cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes represents a powerful method by which the relative contributions of various human P450 enzymes to the metabolism of drugs can be determined. However, the identification of CYP2B6 in the metabolism of drugs has been more challenging because of the lack of a well established inhibitor of this enzyme. In this report, we describe the selectivity of 2-phenyl-2-(1-piperidinyl)propane (PPP) as an inactivator of CYP2B6 and compare this selectivity versus other CYP2B6 inactivators: 1,1',1'-phosphinothioylidynetrisaziridine (thioTEPA), clopidogrel, and ticlopidine. Values of K(I) and k(inact) for PPP were 5.6 microM and 0.13/min for bupropion hydroxylase catalyzed by pooled human liver microsomes, and values for thioTEPA were similar (4.8 microM and 0.20/min, respectively). Intrinsic inactivation capability was considerably greater for clopidogrel because of a greater k(inact) value (1.9/min). Ticlopidine was potent with K(I) and k(inact) values of 0.32 microM and 0.43/min, respectively. The selectivity of these four agents for CYP2B6 was determined by testing their effects on other human P450 enzyme activities using conditions that yield approximately 90% inactivation of CYP2B6 activity. The results showed that preincubation of human liver microsomes with PPP at 30 microM for 30 min provided more selective inhibition for CYP2B6 than thioTEPA, clopidogrel, and ticlopidine. Furthermore, the use of clopidogrel is complicated by the observation that this agent is not stable in the presence of human liver microsomes, even without addition of NADPH. Therefore, PPP can serve as a selective chemical inactivator of CYP2B6 and be used to define the role of CYP2B6 in the metabolism of drugs. 相似文献

The potent antioxidants licorice root extract and glabridin, an isoflavan purified from licorice root extract, were tested for their ability to modulate the activities of several cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes. P450 3A4, the major human drug metabolizing P450 enzyme, was inactivated by licorice root extract and by glabridin in a time-and concentration-dependent manner. The inactivation was NADPH-dependent and was not reversible by extensive dialysis. Further analysis showed that the loss in enzymatic activity correlated with a loss in the P450-reduced CO spectrum and with a loss of the intact heme moiety. In contrast, incubations of P450 3A4 with similar concentrations of 2,4-dimethylglabridin and NADPH did not lead to inactivation of P450 3A4. P450 2B6 was also inactivated by glabridin in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The majority of the glabridin-inactivated P450 2B6 was able to form a reduced CO spectrum suggesting that the heme was not modified with this isoform. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis of the P450 heme confirmed that incubations with glabridin and NADPH did not result in the destruction of the heme moiety. The activity of P450 2C9 was competitively inhibited by glabridin, whereas P450 2D6 and P450 2E1 were virtually unaffected. The data show that glabridin can serve as a substrate for at least three human P450 enzymes and that depending on the isoform, metabolism of glabridin can lead to mechanism-based inactivation or inhibition of the P450. Heme and reduced CO spectral analysis also indicated that glabridin inactivated P450s 2B6 and 3A4 by different mechanisms. 相似文献

It has been reported that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma) ligands ameliorate the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) by endotoxin. In the present study, we investigated the effect of pioglitazone, a potent PPAR-gamma ligand, on the endotoxin-induced reduction of hepatic drug-metabolizing enzyme activity and on the down-regulation of the expression of hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A2 and CYP2C11 proteins in rats. Endotoxin (1 mg/kg) significantly decreased hepatic drug-metabolizing enzyme activity in vivo, as represented by the systemic clearance of antipyrine and protein levels of CYP3A2 and CYP2C11 24 h after intraperitoneal injection. Pretreatment with pioglitazone (10 mg/kg, 4 times at 10-min intervals) significantly protected the endotoxin-induced decreases in the systemic clearance of antipyrine and protein levels of CYP3A2, but not CYP2C11, with no biochemical and histopathological changes in the liver. Pioglitazone alone had no effect on the systemic clearance of antipyrine and protein levels of CYP3A2 or CYP2C11. Pioglitazone significantly protected endotoxin-induced overexpression of iNOS in the liver, but not the overproduction of nitric oxide (NO) in plasma. It is unlikely that the protective effect of pioglitazone against endotoxin-induced decreases in the hepatic drug-metabolizing enzyme activity and protein levels of CYP3A2 in the liver is due to the inhibition of the overproduction of NO. 相似文献

A series of arylalkyl isothiocyanates were evaluated for their ability to inactivate purified cytochrome P450 2B1 in a reconstituted system. Benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) and phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) occur naturally in several cruciferous vegetables, and the inhibition of cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes has been implicated in their chemopreventative abilities. The naturally occurring isothiocyanates BITC and PEITC inactivated P450 2B1 in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, whereas the synthetic isothiocyanates phenylpropyl and phenylhexyl isothiocyanate did not result in inactivation, but were potent competitive inhibitors of P450 2B1 activity. The kinetics of inactivation of P450 2B1 by BITC were characterized. The 7-ethoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)coumarin O-deethylation activity of P450 2B1 was inactivated in a mechanism-based manner. The loss of O-deethylation activity followed pseudo-first-order kinetics, was saturable, and required NADPH. The BITC concentration required for half-maximal inactivation (K(I)) was 5.8 microM, and the maximal rate constant for inactivation was 0.66 min(-)(1) at 23 degrees C. BITC was a very efficient inactivator of P450 2B1 with a partition ratio of approximately 9. The mechanism of BITC-mediated inactivation of P450 2B1 was also investigated. More than 80% of the catalytic activity was lost within 12 min with a concomitant loss of approximately 45% in the ability of the reduced enzyme to bind CO. The magnitude of the UV/visible absorption spectrum of the inactivated protein did not decrease significantly, and subsequent HPLC analysis indicated no apparent modification of the heme. HPLC and protein precipitation analyses indicated that the P450 apoprotein was covalently modified by a metabolite of BITC. Determination of the binding stoichiometry indicated that 0.90 +/- 0. 16 mol of radiolabeled metabolite was bound per mole of enzyme that was inactivated, suggesting the modification of a single amino acid residue per molecule of enzyme that was inactivated. The results reported here indicate that BITC is a mechanism-based inactivator of P450 2B1 and that inactivation occurs primarily through protein modification. 相似文献

Long-chain unsaturated fatty acids inhibit several cytochrome P450 and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes involved in drug metabolism, including CYP2C8, CYP2C9, UGT1A9, UGT2B4, and UGT2B7. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) enhances these cytochrome P450 and UGT activities by sequestering fatty acids that are released from membranes, especially with human liver microsomes (HLM) as the enzyme source. Here, we report the effects of BSA on CYP1A2-catalyzed phenacetin (PHEN) O-deethylation and lidocaine (LID) N-deethylation using HLM and Escherichia coli-expressed recombinant human CYP1A2 (rCYP1A2) as the enzyme sources. BSA (2% w/v) reduced (p < 0.05) the K(m) values of the high-affinity components of human liver microsomal PHEN and LID deethylation by approximately 70%, without affecting V(max). The K(m) (or S(50)) values for PHEN and LID deethylation by rCYP1A2 were reduced to a similar extent. A fatty acid mixture, comprising 3 μM concentrations each of oleic acid and linoleic acid plus 1.5 μM arachidonic acid, doubled the K(m) value for PHEN O-deethylation by rCYP1A2. Inhibition was reversed by the addition of BSA. K(i) values for the individual fatty acids ranged from 4.7 to 16.7 μM. Single-point in vitro-in vivo extrapolation (IV-IVE) based on the human liver microsomal kinetic parameters obtained in the presence, but not absence, of BSA predicted in vivo hepatic clearances of PHEN O-deethylation and LID N-deethylation that were comparable to values reported in humans, although in vivo intrinsic clearances were underpredicted. Prediction of the in vivo clearances of the CYP1A2 substrates observed here represents an improvement on other experimental systems used for IV-IVE. 相似文献

Metabolism of styrene in the human liver in vitro: interindividual variation and enantioselectivity.

1. The interindividual variation and enantioselectivity of the in vitro styrene oxidation by cytochrome P450 have been investigated in 20 human microsomal liver samples. Liver samples were genotyped for the CYP2E1*6 and CYP2E1*5B alleles. 2. Kinetic analysis indicated the presence of at least two forms of styrene-metabolizing cytochrome P450. The enzyme constants for the high-affinity component were subject to appreciable interindividual variation, i.e. Vmax1 ranged from 0.39 to 3.20 nmol mg protein(-1) min(-1) (0.96+/-0.63) and Km1 ranged from 0.005 to 0.03 mM (0.011+/-0.006). Inhibition studies with chemical inhibitors of CYP2E1, CYP1A2, CYP2C8/9 and CYP3A4 demonstrated that CYP2E1 was the primary enzyme involved in the high-affinity component of styrene oxidation. No relationship between the interindividual variation in Vmax1 and Km1 and the genetic polymorphisms of the CYP2E1 gene was found. 3. Cytochrome P450-mediated oxidation of styrene demonstrated a moderate enantioselectivity, with an enantiomeric excess (ee) of (S)-styrene oxide of 15% (range 4-27%) at low styrene concentration and an ee of (R)-styrene oxide of 7% (range -11 to +22%) at high styrene concentration. This points towards the involvement of at least two cytochrome P450, with different enantioselectivities. 4. The data indicate that cytochrome P450-mediated styrene oxidation is subject to considerable interindividual variation, but only to a moderate product enantioselectivity. 相似文献

Microsomal cytochrome P-450 1A (CYP1A) in a vertebrate model (the teleost fish scup) is inactivated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist 3,3',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (TCB). Here, the mechanism of CYP1A inactivation and its relationship to reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation were examined by using liver microsomes from scup and rat and expressed human CYP1As. In vitro inactivation of scup CYP1A activity 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation by TCB was time dependent, NADPH dependent, oxygen dependent, and irreversible. TCB increased microsomal NADPH oxidation rates, and CYP1A inactivation was lessened by adding cytochrome c. CYP1A inactivation was accompanied by loss of spectral P-450, a variable loss of heme and a variable appearance of P-420. Rates of scup liver microsomal metabolism of TCB were < 0.5 pmol/min/mg, 25-fold less than the rate of P-450 loss. Non-heme iron chelators, antioxidant enzymes, and ROS scavengers had no influence on inactivation. Inactivation was accelerated by H(2)O(2) and azide but not by hydroxylamine or aminotriazole. TCB also inactivated rat liver microsomal CYP1A, apparently CYP1A1. Adding TCB to scup or rat liver microsomes containing induced levels of CYP1A, but not control microsomes, stimulated formation of ROS; formation rates correlated with native CYP1A1 content. TCB stimulated ROS formation by baculovirus-expressed human CYP1A1 but not CYP1A2. The results indicate that TCB uncouples the catalytic cycle of CYP1A, ostensibly CYP1A1, resulting in formation of ROS within the active site. These ROS may inactivate CYP1A or escape from the enzyme. ROS formed by CYP1A1 may contribute to the toxicity of planar halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons. 相似文献

The effect of cimetidine on dextromethorphan O-demethylase activity of human liver microsomes and recombinant CYP2D6. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Clinically, cimetidine therapy impairs the clearance of various drugs metabolized by CYP2D6, such as desipramine and sparteine. Cimetidine is known to reversibly inhibit CYP2D6 in vitro; however, Ki values are greater than plasma concentrations observed in vivo. There is evidence suggesting that this drug may act as an inactivator of cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes after metabolic activation. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine whether cimetidine acts as a mechanism-based inactivator of CYP2D6. Dextromethorphan O-demethylation was used as a probe of CYP2D6 activity. The Vmax and Km of this reaction were 0.82 +/- 0.06 nmol/min/nmol of P450 and 4.1 +/- 0.1 microM, respectively, in pooled human liver microsomes; and 15.9 +/- 0.8 nmol/min/nmol P450 and 1.4 +/- 0.6 microM, respectively, with recombinant CYP2D6. With human liver microsomes, cimetidine competitively inhibited CYP2D6 (Ki = 38 +/- 5 microM) and was a mixed inhibitor of recombinant CYP2D6 (Ki = 103 +/- 17 microM). Preincubation of human liver microsomes with cimetidine and NADPH did not increase the inhibitory potency of cimetidine; however, preincubation with recombinant CYP2D6 resulted in enzyme inactivation that could be attenuated by the CYP2D6 inhibitor quinidine. The KI and kinact were estimated to be 77 microM and 0.03 min-1, respectively, and the half-life of inactivation was 25 min. Therefore, cimetidine may represent a class of compounds capable of inactivating specific cytochromes P450 in vivo, but for which conditions may not be achievable in vitro using human liver microsomes. 相似文献

Cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes are often used in suicide gene cancer therapy strategies to convert an inactive prodrug into its therapeutic active metabolites. However, P450 activity is dependent on electrons supplied by cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR). Since endogenous CPR activity may not be sufficient for optimal P450 activity, the overexpression of additional CPR has been considered to be a valuable approach in gene directed enzyme prodrug therapy (GDEPT). We have analysed a set of cell lines for the effects of CPR on cytochrome P450 isoform 2B1 (CYP2B1) activity. CPR transfected human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells showed both strong CPR expression in Western blot analysis and 30-fold higher activity in cytochrome c assays as compared to parental HEK293 cells. In contrast, resorufin and 4-hydroxy-ifosfamide assays revealed that CYP2B1 activity was up to 10-fold reduced in CPR/CYP2B1 cotransfected HEK293 cells as compared to cells transfected with the CYP2B1 expression plasmid alone. Determination of ifosfamide-mediated effects on cell viability allowed independent confirmation of the reduction in CYP2B1 activity upon CPR coexpression. Inhibition of CYP2B1 activity by CPR was also observed in CYP2B1/CPR transfected or infected pancreatic tumour cell lines Panc-1 and Pan02, the human breast tumour cell line T47D and the murine embryo fibroblast cell line NIH3T3. A CPR mediated increase in CYP2B1 activity was only observed in the human breast tumour cell line Hs578T. Thus, our data reveal an effect of CPR on CYP2B1 activity dependent on the cell type used and therefore demand a careful evaluation of the therapeutic benefit of combining cytochrome P450 and CPR in respective in vivo models in each individual target tissue to be treated. 相似文献

Hyperaldosteronism is a common disease that is closely related to endocrine hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. Cytochrome P450 11B2 (CYP11B2), an important enzyme in aldosterone (ALD) synthesis, is a promising target for the treatment of hyperaldosteronism. However, selective inhibitors targeting CYP11B2 are still lacking due to the high similarity with CYP11B1. In this study, atractylenolide-I (AT-I) was found to significantly reduce the production of ALD but had no effect on cortisol synthesis, which is catalyzed by CYP11B1. Chemical biology studies revealed that due to the presence of Ala320, AT-I is selectively bound to the catalytic pocket of CYP11B2, and the C8/C9 double bond of AT-I can be epoxidized, which then undergoes nucleophilic addition with the sulfhydryl group of Cys450 in CYP11B2. The covalent binding of AT-I disrupts the interaction between heme and CYP11B2 and inactivates CYP11B2, leading to the suppression of ALD synthesis; AT-I shows a significant therapeutic effect for improving hyperaldosteronism. 相似文献

Mechanism-based inactivators serve as probes of enzyme mechanism, function, and structure. Koshland's Reagent II (2-methoxy-5-nitrobenzyl bromide, KR-II) is a potential mechanism-based inactivator of enzymes that perform O-dealkylations. The major phenobarbital-inducible form of cytochrome P-450 in male rat liver microsomes, CYP2B1, is capable of catalyzing O-dealkylations. The interactions of KR-II with purified CYP2B1 in the reconstituted system containing P-450, NADPH:P-450 oxidoreductase, and sonicated dilaurylphosphatidyl choline were studied. The benzphetamine N-demethylase activity of CYP2B1 was inactivated by KR-II in a time- and NADPH-dependent manner, and the loss of activity followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. The inactivation also required KR-II, and the rate of activity loss was dependent on the concentration of KR-II in a saturable fashion. The inactivator concentration required for the half-maximal rate of inactivation (KI) was approximately 0.1 mM. The inactivation was not prevented by the addition of the nucleophiles dithiothreitol and glutathione, nor was it reversed by gel filtration. The present results demonstrate that KR-II is a mechanism-based inactivator of rat CYP2B1. 相似文献

1.?Isopsoralen (IPRN) is a major component in many traditional medicinal herbs widely used in Asian countries. The objective of the present study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of IPRN on cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) and the mechanism involved in the enzyme inactivation.2.?Pre-incubation of CYP2B6 with IPRN resulted in a time- and concentration-dependent enzyme activity loss. The values of KI and kinact were found to be 7.89?μM and 0.067?min?1, respectively. Ticlopidine exhibited protective effect on the IPRN-induced enzyme inactivation. The estimated partition ratio of the inactivation was 122. The GSH trapping experiments indicate that an epoxide and/or γ-ketoenal intermediate were/was generated in IPRN-fortified microsomal incubations. The synthetic work verified the formation of the reactive intermediate(s). Additionally, CYPs2E1, 2C19, 2B6 and 1A2 were found to be the major enzymes participating in the bioactivation of IPRN.3.?IPRN was characterized as a mechanism-based inactivator of CYP2B6. An IPRN-derived furanoepoxide and/or γ-ketoenal intermediate(s) were/was generated and may be responsible for the inactivation of CYP2B6. 相似文献

The role of cytochrome P450 (CYP) and the CYP isoform involved in the activation of the widely used pesticide methyl-parathion (MePA) were investigated in rat brain extracts by measuring the effect of different CYP inhibitors on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition by MePA. Brain extracts provide a useful tool to study the activation mechanisms of organophosphorus compounds (OP) since they contain both the activating enzyme(s) and the molecular target for OP toxicity. As expected, in incubations of rat brain extract supplemented with NADPH, AChE activity was non-competitively inhibited by the presence of MePA, indicating that MePA was activated to its reactive metabolite methyl-paraoxon (MePO). Indeed, Vmax(app) decreased from 13.4 to 8.7 micromol thionitrobenzoic acid (TNB)/min per mg protein. MePA activation by rat brain extracts, as measured by the AChE inhibition produced by the presence of the pesticide in the incubation, was fully prevented by previously bubbling the incubation mix with CO, by the presence of monoclonal anti-rat CYP2B1/2B2 antibodies and by the addition of phenobarbital (PB), a CYP2B substrate. Interestingly, MePA showed a greater affinity for CYP2B than PB. CYP1A1 antibodies showed no effect on MePA activation. The presence of cytochrome P450 2B (CYP2B) in the rat brain extracts was confirmed by immunoblotting. These results demonstrate indisputably the responsibility of CYP2B in MePA activation in the rat brain in vitro, suggesting that metabolic activation of OP compounds in situ might be crucial for their organ specific toxicity to the central nervous system also in vivo. 相似文献
