The metabolism of 2,3',4',5-tetrachlorobiphenyl (TCB) was compared using liver microsomes and six isoforms of cytochrome P450 purified from rats, guinea pigs and hamsters. In microsomal study, the following species differences were observed: 1) Untreated guinea pigs and hamsters but not rats can metabolize this TCB to 3-hydroxy- or 4-hydroxy-2,3',4',5-TCB, 2) Guinea pig microsomes showed only 3-hydroxylating activity, whereas hamster microsomes showed higher activity of 4-hydroxylation than that of 3-hydroxylation. In common with three species, the 3-hydroxylation was accelerated by phenobarbital. The 4-hydroxylation in rats and hamsters was increased by pretreatment with 3-methylcholanthrene and 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl. The hydroxylation activities of liver microsomes from the three species could be explained by an involvement of different isoforms of cytochrome P450. In addition, it is apparent that hamster CYP1A2 as well as hamster CYP2A8 is involved in the 4-hydroxylation of 2,3',4',5-TCB although it has no activity for 2,2',5,5'-TCB.

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.
