Phenacetin O-deethylase activity in microsomal fractions from liver of DA and Fischer rats has been determined. No major sex or strain differences were found. Kinetic analysis revealed two major components of O-deethylase activity in the liver of both strains of rats. Michaelis-Menten analysis revealed no major difference between the strains. Phenacetin O-deethylase activity is inducible by both 3-methylcholanthrene and phenobarbitone in DA and Fischer rats. 3-Methylcholanthrene selectively increases the high-affinity component of activity, by 20- to 25-fold, whereas phenobarbitone selectively increases the low-affinity component, by two- to three-fold. It is concluded that there is no major difference between the DA and Fischer strains in their ability to O-deethylate phenacetin. Thus, unlike poor metabolizers of debrisoquine in the human population, who appear also to have impaired phenacetin O-deethylase activity, the DA rat is deficient in only the former activity.
