Induction of cytochrome P-450 by methylenedioxyphenyl compounds: importance of the methylene carbon. 1983

J C Cook, and E Hodgson

Induction of hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 in Dub:ICR male mice treated with phenobarbital, 3-methylcholanthrene, safrole, isosafrole, 5-tert.-butyl-1,3-benzodioxole (BBD), 2-methyl-5-tert.-butyl-1,3-benzodioxole (MBBD), and 2,2-dimethyl-5-tert.-butyl-1,3-benzodiozole (DBBD) was evaluated by measuring the cytochrome P-450 content, Type II:Type 1 binding ratio, ethylisocyanide pH equilibrium point, biphenyl 2- and 4-hydroxylase, ethylmorphine N-demethylase, ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase, and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Safrole and isosafrole treatment of mice produced a phenobarbital-type induction. BBD, but not MBBD and DBBD, induced cytochrome P-450 and formed a Type III metabolite-cytochrome P-450 complex, in vitro and in vivo. SDS-PAGE revealed that DBBD does induce proteins other than cytochrome P-450. These data suggest that the methylene carbon plays an important role in cytochrome P-450 induction.

D009570 Nitriles Organic compounds containing the -CN radical. The concept is distinguished from CYANIDES, which denotes inorganic salts of HYDROGEN CYANIDE. Nitrile
D010088 Oxidoreductases The class of all enzymes catalyzing oxidoreduction reactions. The substrate that is oxidized is regarded as a hydrogen donor. The systematic name is based on donor:acceptor oxidoreductase. The recommended name will be dehydrogenase, wherever this is possible; as an alternative, reductase can be used. Oxidase is only used in cases where O2 is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p9) Dehydrogenases,Oxidases,Oxidoreductase,Reductases,Dehydrogenase,Oxidase,Reductase
D010634 Phenobarbital A barbituric acid derivative that acts as a nonselective central nervous system depressant. It potentiates GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID action on GABA-A RECEPTORS, and modulates chloride currents through receptor channels. It also inhibits glutamate induced depolarizations.

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.
