Abstract

Treatment of uninduced, phenobarbital and 3-methylcholanthrene induced rats with fluroxene and allyl- iso -propylacetamide decreased hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 and equivalently decreased microsomal heme, aniline binding and p -nitroanisole demethylase. In contrast, ethylmorpnine demethylase, benzpyrene-3-hydroxylase and ethoxyresofurin deethylase were not in all cases decreased in proportion to the loss of cytochrome P-450. After phenobarbital induction fluroxene and allyl- iso -propylacetamide degrade multiple forms of cytochrome P-450, but degrade in the greatest amounts the form(s) of cytochrome P-450 inducible by phenobarbital. After 3-methylcholanthrene induction fluroxene preferentially degrades cytochrome P-448, while allyl- iso -propylacetamide is relatively specific for the form(s) of cytochrome P-450 inducible by phenobarbital.
