N-Nitrosodi-n-butylamine (NDBA), the NADPH generating system and various concentrations of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) added to rat hepatic S9 fractions resulted in a significant drop (30-50%) in N-nitrosobutyl(4-hydroxybutyl)amine (NBHBA) formation and a consequent rise in the amount of substrate recovered unchanged. When NBHBA and NAD+ were incubated with BHA and S9 fractions, the amount of N-nitrosobutyl(3-carboxypropyl)amine (NBCPA) was decreased by 20-40%, and the amount of unmetabolized NBHBA increased.

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.
