Metabolism of methamphetamine, amphetamine and p-hydroxymethamphetamine by rat-liver microsomal preparations in vitro. 1984

T Yamamoto, and R Takano, and T Egashira, and Y Yamanaka

Methamphetamine N-demethylation and p-hydroxylation activities of rat liver were located mainly in the microsomal fraction. The Km values for methamphetamine and p-hydroxymethamphetamine demethylations were 1.0 and 1.6 mM, respectively. The Km value for amphetamine p-hydroxylation was 10.2 microM; substrate inhibition occurred at high substrate concn. Two Km values were obtained for the aromatic hydroxylation of methamphetamine (10.6 microM and 2.2 mM). N-Demethylation of methamphetamine and p-hydroxymethamphetamine were depressed in rats pretreated with 3-methylcholanthrene, CoCl2 or SKF 525-A. In rats pretreated with phenobarbital, methamphetamine demethylase was induced and p-hydroxymethamphetamine demethylase was depressed. The p-hydroxylation of methamphetamine and amphetamine in rats pretreated with phenobarbital, CoCl2, SKF 525-A or iprindole were depressed.

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.

D000661 Amphetamine A powerful central nervous system stimulant and sympathomimetic. Amphetamine has multiple mechanisms of action including blocking uptake of adrenergics and dopamine, stimulation of release of monamines, and inhibiting monoamine oxidase. Amphetamine is also a drug of abuse and a psychotomimetic. The l- and the d,l-forms are included here. The l-form has less central nervous system activity but stronger cardiovascular effects. The d-form is DEXTROAMPHETAMINE.
