Glyceryl trinitrate was denitrated in rat hepatic subcellular fractions, with formation of glyceryl dinitrates and glyceryl mononitrates. Among differently treated-rat liver microsomes, the highest microsomal activity was obtained under anaerobic conditions with microsomal preparations from dexamethasone-treated rats and NADPH. The reaction was inhibited by O2, CO, miconazole, dihydroergotamine and troleandomycin showing that it was catalyzed by cytochrome P-450 CYP3A isoforms. The formation of a transient cytochrome P-450 Fe(II)-NO complex during this reaction was shown by visible spectroscopy. The cytosolic activity was shown to be dependent on glutathione and glutathione transferase and was not inhibited by dioxygen. In the hepatic 9000 x g supernatant containing both NADPH and cytochrome P-450 and glutathione and glutathione transferase, the cytochrome P-450-dependent reaction accounts for 30-40% of the total denitration activity observed under anaerobic conditions, using 100 microM GTN.
