Hepatic microsomes from rats fed a crude or a purified diet were compared by measureing their contents of protein, cytochrome P-450, and cytochrome b5, their rates of activity of NADPH- and NADH-cytochrome c reductases, NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, NADPH oxidase, lipid peroxidase, ethylmorphine N-demethylase, aniline hydroxylase, benzpyrene hydroxylase, and their substrate-binding spectra (ethylmorphine, hexobarbital, aniline, and ethyl isoyanide). With the exception of lipid peroxidase activity, which was much higher in microsomes from animals fed the crude diet, little or no consistent diet-related differences in these measurements were observed over a 4-week experimental period, nor were results significantly less variable with one or the other diet. No consistent significant differences were observed with two strains of rats. The lower lipid peroxidase activity seen with the purified diet appeared to be due to the high vitamin E intake when that diet was employed; rats fed the crude diet and an oral supplement of alpha-tocopherol yielded microsomes with low lipid peroxidase activities similar to those seen in microsomes from rats fed the purified diet. A gradual temporal increase in benzpyrene hydroxylase activity was observed with both diets. This was interpreted to be due to environment inducing agents other than those present in the diet.

The addition of 125--1000 mM (NH4)2SO4 to rat hepatic washed microsomal preparations was found to stimulate markedly the rate of in vitro metabolism of the hepatocarcinogen dimethylnitrosamine. Solute treatment also stimulated the activities of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, NADPH oxidase, the N-oxidation of N,N-dimethylaniline, and the fluorescent interaction of 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANS) with hepatic microsomes. (NH4)2SO4 had a varied effect on the activities of a number of mixed-function oxidase (MFO) enzyme activities. Whereas the activities of aniline 4-hydroxylase and 4-nitrobenzoic acid nitroreductase were enhanced at all solute concentrations, several other MFO enzyme activities were either progressively inhibited or stimulated at low and inhibited at high (NH4)2SO4 concentrations. Solute treatment had no effect on microsomal cytochrome P-450 content but inhibited the activities of glucose 6-phosphatase and UDP-glucuronyltransferase. All of the observed changes in enzyme activities and ANS-microsome fluorescence interaction were found to be reversible when the solute was removed by centrifugation. These findings suggest that (NH4)2SO4 and certain other solutes can reversibly modify the conformation of microsomal membranes in such a manner as to affect microsomal enzyme activities.

1. Ethanol metabolism in slices or homogenates of transplantable hepatocellular carcinoma HC-252 (HC-252) was 50 to 60% of the rate found in host liver slices or homogenates when they were expressed per gram of tissue wet weight and 70 to 80% of the liver when the rates were expressed per milligram of tissue protein. At 10 mM ethanol, the activities of alcohol dehydrogenase in tumor and liver supernatants were comparable. 2. Tumor microsomes did not oxidize ethanol in the presence of a NADPH-generating system, indicating the absence of the microsomal ethanol-oxidizing system and catalase-mediated peroxidation of ethanol. The HC-252 microsomes were contaminated with catalase, and acetaldehyde production occurred in the presence of a H2O2-generating system (xanthine oxidase). The virtual absence of ethanol oxidation and drug metabolism (aminopyrine demethylase and aniline hydroxylase) in HC-252 microsomes may be due to the low activities of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, NADPH oxidase, and NADPH-dependent oxygen uptake. 3. Microsomal oxidation of ethanol was present in Morris hepatoma 5123C, a well-differentiated tumor of intermediate growth rate, while activity was negligible in microsomes from Morris hepatoma 7288CTC, a less differentiated tumor. Microsomal NADPH oxidase was present in the well differentiated tumor 5123C but was lacking in the less differentiated tumor 7288CTC. Several microsomal, mitochondrial, and cytosolic properties of HC-252 are similar to those of Morris hepatoma 7288CTC but differ from those of the more differentiated 5123C tumor and normal liver. 4. The content of mitochondrial protein in HC-252 was only 25% that of liver, and oxygen consumption per gram of tumor was only 28% that of the liver. When corrected for the mitochondrial protein content, oxygen uptake in tumor HC-252 and liver homogenates was comparable. Isolated tumor and liver mitochondria displayed comparable State 4 and 3 rates of oxygen consumption with succinate and glutamate as substrates. The activities of the reconstituted malate-aspartate and alpha-glycerophosphate shuttles were only slightly lower in isolated HC-252 mitochondria compared to liver mitochondria, when shuttles were reconstituted with purified enzymes. 5. Antimycin inhibited alcohol metabolism,and pyruvate stimulated alcohol metabolism, much less in tumor slices than in liver slices, suggesting the presence of an augmented mitochondria-independent, cytosolic mechanism for oxidizing reducing equivalents in the tumor. These factors suggest that oxidation of NADH is the limiting factor in ethanol metabolism. Whereas, in the liver mitochondrial reoxidation is predominant, in HC-252, cytosolic reoxidation of NADH also plays a major role.

Thiourea and diethylthiourea, two compounds which react with hydroxyl radicals, inhibited NADPH-dependent microsomal oxidation of ethanol and 1-butanol. Inhibition by both compounds was more effective in the presence of the catalase inhibitor, azide. Inhibition by thiourea was noncompetitive with respect to ethanol in the absence of azide but was competitive in the presence of azide. Urea, a compound which does not react with hydroxyl radicals or H2O2, was without effect. Thiourea had no effect on NADH- and NADH-cytochrome c reductase, NADPH oxidase, and NADH- and NADPH-dependent oxygen uptake. Thiourea inhibited the activities of aniline hydroxylase and aminopyrine demethylase. Thiourea, but no other hydroxyl radical scavengers, e.g., dimethyl sulfoxide, mannitol, and benzoate, reacted directly with H202 and decreased H2O2 accumulation in the presence of azide. Therefore the actions of thiourea are complex because it can react with both hydroxyl radicals and H2O2. Differences between the actions of thiourea and those previously reported for dimethyl sulfoxide, mannitol, and benzoate, e.g., effects on drug metabolism, effectiveness of inhibition in the absence of azide, or kinetics of the inhibition, probably reflect the fact that thiourea reacts directly with H2O2 whereas the other agents do not. The current results remain consistent with the concept that microsomal oxidation of alcohols involves interactions of the alcohols with hydroxyl radicals generated from microsomal electron transfer.

The electrophilic properties of the quinone-hydroquinone configuration of anthracycline antibiotics suggests a possible influence on cytochrome P-450-mediated mono-oxygenase reactions. Both doxorubicin and triferric-doxorubicin (a derivative in which the quinone groups are blocked with iron) showed a similar dose-dependent inhibition of liver microsomal drug metabolism. A doxorubicin concentration-related stimulation of NADPH oxidase activity was found to be linear but that for triferric-doxorubicin was asymptotic. Neither inhibitor affected the activity of cytochrome c reductase, cytochrome b5 reductase or cytochrome P-450 reductase. However, doxorubicin did potentiate the inhibitory effect of aniline on cytochrome P-450 reductase and on ethylmorphine metabolism. It is concluded that these anthracyclines inhibit drug metabolism in vitro not by their electron-withdrawing potential but in a manner more similar to that described for type II compounds.

The effect of glucagon on the components of the hepatic microsomal electron transport chain (NADPH oxidase, NADPH cytochrome c reductase (EC 1.6.2.4), cytochrome P-450, and NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase), and on two representative oxidative pathways (aminopyrine N-demethylation, a type I substrate oxidation; and aniline p-hydroxylation, a type II substrate oxidation) was determined. Microsomes from rats pretreated with glucagon (300 mug/kg per day for 3 days) showed a significant decrease in NADPH oxidation and in aminopyrine N-demethylation with a prolonged hexobarbital sleeping time, and a significant increase in aniline p-hydroxylation. Microsomes from rats pretreated with a lower dose of glucagon (30 mug/kg per day for 3 days) showed a significant decrease in the microsomal N-demethylation of aminopyrine. Glucagon had no effect when added in vitro to microsomes, suggesting that the in vivo effects of glucagon are mediated indirectly in the intact animal.

Many drugs require oxidative metabolism for termination of action and/or for elimination from the body. Many oxidative reactions are catalyzed by hepatic microsomal enzymes. The activities of various drug-metabolizing enzymes, namely, NADPH cytochrome c reductase, NADPH oxidase, aminopyrine-N-demethylase, and analine P-hydroxylase, and the content of cytochrome P-450, were measured in hepatic microsomes obtained from seven newborn infants and four adult patients. The results in the newborn infant show increasing activities of these enzymes (except aminopyrine-N-demethylase) related to advancing age. Good correlation between three components of the hepatic microsomal mixed function oxidase system and aniline p-hydroxylase was established, whereas only NADPH oxidation correlated with aminopyrine N-demethylation. The rate of substrate or drug oxidation and the activities of the components of the microsomal electron transport pathway were lower than comparable values in the adult. The data demonstrate a possible biochemical basis for the transient deficiency in drug metabolism seen in newborn infants.

A comparative analysis was made of the effectiveness of three methods for the reconstitution of microsomal electron-transfer chains, namely, self-assembly, incorporation of electron carriers into liposomes (non-specific template) and incorporation into ;ghosts' of microsomal vesicles (specific template). It was shown that when the ;ghosts' of the microsomal vesicles were used as a specific template extra cytochrome b(5) and NADH-specific flavoprotein were incorporated into them, but cytochrome P-450 and NADPH-specific flavoprotein were not incorporated into the membrane. As a result of the self-assembly and incorporation into liposomes all the electron carriers were present in the reconstituted membrane. Cytochrome P-450 reactivation took place and the inactive form, cytochrome P-420, was converted into the active form, cytochrome P-450. Of the four enzyme hydroxylation systems studied, i.e. NADPH- and NADH-dependent p-hydroxylation of aniline, and NADPH- and NADH-dependent N-demethylation of dimethylaniline, only the NADH-dependent demethylation of dimethylaniline (60% of the initial value) and NADH-dependent p-hydroxylation of aniline (30% of the initial value) were reconstituted by self-assembly. NADPH oxidase and NADH oxidase activities were only properly reconstituted by self-assembly and incorporation into liposomes. In contrast, the NADPH-specific system of peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acids was reconstituted by specific template-binding.

1. The effects of unsaturated fatty acids on drug-metabolizing enzymes in vitro were measured by using rat and rabbit hepatic 9000g supernatant fractions. 2. Unsaturated fatty acids inhibited the hepatic microsomal metabolism of ;type I' drugs with inhibition increasing with unsaturation: arachidonic acid>linolenic acid>linoleic acid>oleic acid. Inhibition was independent of lipid peroxidation. Linoleic acid competitively inhibited the microsomal O-demethylation of p-nitroanisole and the N-demethylation of (+)-benzphetamine. 3. The hepatic microsomal metabolism of ;type II' substrates, aniline and (-)-amphetamine, was not affected by unsaturated fatty acids. 4. The rate of reduction of p-nitrobenzoic acid and Neoprontosil was accelerated by unsaturated fatty acids. 5. Linoleic acid up to 3.5mm did not decelerate the generation of NADPH by rat liver soluble fraction, nor the activity of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase of rat liver microsomes. Hepatic microsomal NADPH oxidase activity was slightly enhanced by added linoleic acid. 6. No measurable disappearance of exogenously added linoleic acid occurred when this fatty acid was incubated with rat liver microsomes and an NADPH source. 7. The unsaturated fatty acids used in this study produced type I spectra when added to rat liver microsomes, and affected several microsomal enzyme activities in a manner characteristic of type I ligands.

Morphine elicited a dose-related increase in the duration of phencyclidine (PCP)-induced motor incoordination. In the open field behavioral observations, morphine enhanced the PCP-induced decrease in the number of ambulation and rearing. Morphine potentiated the PCP-induced decrease in body temperature. The LD50 of PCP was significantly decreased in the presence of morphine. An opiate antagonist, naloxone, antagonized the morphine-induced effects without influencing the pharmacological actions of PCP itself. The levels of hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 and cytochrome b5 and the activities of NADPH dehydrogenase and NADPH cytochrome c reductase were unaffected by morphine treatment. The half-lives of PCP in serum and brain were increased by the concurrent administration of morphine. The ratio of the liver weight to body weight and aniline hydroxylase activity in hepatic microsomal fraction were decreased in the morphine-treated group compared with the control group; this is indicative of a possible reduction in the oxidative metabolism of PCP. The results indicate that acute administration of morphine enhances a variety of pharmacological effects of PCP; an inhibition of PCP disposition by morphine may be a mechanism involved in this process.
