The inhibition of rat hepatic mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) isozymes was studied in apparent steady-state conditions after repeated intra-peritoneal cyanamide administration. The low-Km mitochondrial ALDH isozyme was more susceptible to cyanamide-induced inhibition (DI50 = 0.104 mg kg-1) than the high-Km isozyme (DI50 = 8.52 mg kg-1), with almost complete inhibition occurring at 0.35 mg kg-1 total cyanamide administered for the low-Km isozyme. The relationships between plasma and liver cyanamide concentrations and the inhibition of high-Km ALDH were established by means of the sigmoid Imax model. The effect of dosing rate on the plasma concentration of cyanamide at apparent steady-state showed non-linearity, indicating that clearance or first-pass metabolism of cyanamide during its absorption after intraperitoneal administration did not remain constant throughout the range of doses studied.

D008930 Mitochondria, Liver Mitochondria in hepatocytes. As in all mitochondria, there are an outer membrane and an inner membrane, together creating two separate mitochondrial compartments: the internal matrix space and a much narrower intermembrane space. In the liver mitochondrion, an estimated 67% of the total mitochondrial proteins is located in the matrix.
