Benzothiazole (BT) is present in tobacco smoke and widely used for industrial and pharmaceutical purposes. In this study we have investigated the influence of BT on the activities of hepatic cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) and UDP-glucuronyltransferase (UDP-GT), sulphotransferase and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) in male Sprague-Dawley rats. We also examined if BT would change the metabolism and toxification of acetaminophen (AA) through modulation of metabolizing enzymes. Benzothiazole (1 mmol kg(-1), p.o., 5 days) markedly increased the enzyme activities of P4501A1, 1A2, 2B1, 3A4, 2E1, UDP-GT and GST in liver. Pretreatment with BT significantly decreased the amount of total AA recovered in bile to 68.5% of controls, mainly as a consequence of reduced AA-glucuronide conjugate (35.3% of controls), whereas the AA-glutathione conjugate (AA-GS) was augmented to 1.6-fold. After pretreatment with BT, potentiation of the hepatotoxicity by AA (400 mg kg(-1), i.p., 24 h) was observed by measuring serum alanine aminotransferase activities in ICR mice. These results indicate that: BT is a potent inducer of P450s and phase II metabolizing enzymes; and the increase of AA-GS conjugate and aggravation of AA hepatotoxicity by BT may be related to induction of P450s.

D003577 Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme System A superfamily of hundreds of closely related HEMEPROTEINS found throughout the phylogenetic spectrum, from animals, plants, fungi, to bacteria. They include numerous complex monooxygenases (MIXED FUNCTION OXYGENASES). In animals, these P-450 enzymes serve two major functions: (1) biosynthesis of steroids, fatty acids, and bile acids; (2) metabolism of endogenous and a wide variety of exogenous substrates, such as toxins and drugs (BIOTRANSFORMATION). They are classified, according to their sequence similarities rather than functions, into CYP gene families (>40% homology) and subfamilies (>59% homology). For example, enzymes from the CYP1, CYP2, and CYP3 gene families are responsible for most drug metabolism.
