1,4-Bis[2-(3,5-dichloropyridyloxy)]benzene (TCPOBOP) resembles phenobarbital (PB) in its mode of induction of the hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes in mice. The structural features of this molecule include: a linear tricyclic aromatic ether ring system, an internal 1,4-disubstituted benzene ring and two 3,5-dichloropyridyloxy substituents. Ten analogs of TCPOBOP have been synthesized and their activities as microsomal enzyme inducers evaluated. Dose-response induction of mice hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450, aldrin epoxidase and dimethylaminoantipyrine N-demethylase gave ED50 values for TCPOBOP and five homologs. The results illustrate that changes in the structure of the pyridyloxy ring markedly affect enzyme induction activity. The order of activity for the substituents was 3,5-dibromopyridyloxy approximately 3,5-dichloropyridyloxy greater than 5-bromopyridyloxy approximately 5-chloropyridyloxy greater than 3-chloropyridyloxy greater than pyridyloxy. In addition, the effects of altered substitution pattern of the benzene ring and structural alterations of the internal ring moiety were evaluated by measuring hepatic microsomal coumarin hydroxylase activity. The results confirm the microsomal monooxygenase enzyme induction activity of TCPOBOP, and the observed structure-dependent potencies of several related homologs support a receptor-mediated mechanism of action for the process.

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.

D006899 Mixed Function Oxygenases Widely distributed enzymes that carry out oxidation-reduction reactions in which one atom of the oxygen molecule is incorporated into the organic substrate; the other oxygen atom is reduced and combined with hydrogen ions to form water. They are also known as monooxygenases or hydroxylases. These reactions require two substrates as reductants for each of the two oxygen atoms. There are different classes of monooxygenases depending on the type of hydrogen-providing cosubstrate (COENZYMES) required in the mixed-function oxidation.
