The in vitro metabolism of N,N-dimethylaniline by guinea pig and rabbit tissue preparations. 1981

J W Gorrod, and N J Gooderham

A study of the in vitro metabolism of N,N-dimethylaniline using guinea pig and rabbit preparations and GLC techniques has confirmed N-demethylation and N-oxidation and established ring hydroxylation as metabolic routes. Whereas N-demethylation and N-oxidation are major routes of metabolism, ring hydroxylation is a comparatively minor pathway. Like N-demethylase and N-oxidase, the 4-hydroxylase has been shown to be a microsomal enzyme. The major ring hydroxylated product of N,N-dimethylaniline is N,N-dimethyl-4-aminophenol; N-methyl-4-aminophenol is subsequently formed. The apparent Km and V max values for N-demethylation, N-oxidation and 4-hydroxylation, are presented for both the guinea pig and the rabbit.

D008861 Microsomes Artifactual vesicles formed from the endoplasmic reticulum when cells are disrupted. They are isolated by differential centrifugation and are composed of three structural features: rough vesicles, smooth vesicles, and ribosomes. Numerous enzyme activities are associated with the microsomal fraction. (Glick, Glossary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1990; from Rieger et al., Glossary of Genetics: Classical and Molecular, 5th ed) Microsome
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

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.
