Induction of drug-metabolizing enzymes in the rat liver by 3'-methyl-4-(dimethylamino)azobenzene. 1982

O Hino, and N Nemoto, and M Nagao, and A Kosugi, and T Kitagawa

The influence of 3-methyl-4-(dimethylamino)azobenzene(3'-Me-DAB) on the drug-metabolizing system in the liver was investigated. Feeding of 3-Me-DAB for 3 weeks at 10, 20 and 600 ppm increased the content of hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 slightly (up to 27% raise) but significantly. The feeding effects were also demonstrated in S-9 activity (up to 91% raise) when the mutagenicity of 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) and 3-amino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole (Trp-P-2) was assayed in Ames system using S-9 fraction from 3'-Me-DAB-treated rat livers.

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.
