The biochemical effects on the liver of 1,4-bis[2-(3,5-dichloropyridyloxy)]benzene (TCPOBOP), a phenobarbital-like enzyme inducer, were studied in the mouse and rat. In mice a single dose of TCPOBOP (3 mg/kg, ip) caused marked and long-lasting (at least 7 days) induction of liver cytochrome P-450, 7-ethoxycoumarin-O-deethylase, and epoxide hydrolase. TCPOBOP had much less effect in rats than in mice, even at a higher dose (30 mg/kg) TCPOBOP also induced DNA synthesis in mice and rats but ornithine decarboxylase activity only in mice. In addition, in mice but not in rats, TCPOBOP increased microsomal membrane fluidity, as detected by fluorescence polarization measurements.

D009955 Ornithine Decarboxylase A pyridoxal-phosphate protein, believed to be the rate-limiting compound in the biosynthesis of polyamines. It catalyzes the decarboxylation of ornithine to form putrescine, which is then linked to a propylamine moiety of decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine to form spermidine.

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.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
