The p-hydroxylation of aniline has been traditionally determined by measurement of p-aminophenol (PAP) formation. Comparison of isotopic and colorimetric procedures indicate that the actual amount of aniline metabolized exceeds the among of PAP recovered. Data suggest that enhancement of p-hydroxylation of aniline by acetone, malaoxon and paraoxon may result from inhibition of further metabolism of PAP by the microsomal cytochrome b5-dependent desaturase system. Involvement of the desaturase system is supported by observations that: (a) metabolism of PAP was reduced by starvation and stimulated when starvation was followed by feeding a high carbohydrate diet; (b) enrichment of hepatic microsomes with detergent purified cytochrome b5 decreased the amount of aniline apparently metabolized, as measured by the amount of PAP recovered, and (c) a high correlation occurred between effects of acetone, malaoxon and paraoxon on reoxidation of cytochrome b5 and capacity of these three compounds to enchance aniline metabolism.

In experiments on 205 rats it was fixed, that starvation during 2-3 days, as well as introduction of acetone (250 and 1000 mg/kg) considerably increases CYP2E1-dependent aniline and p-nitrophenol hydroxylase activity in the liver, kidneys, lungs and CYP3A dependent erythromycin N-demethylase activity, at the same time, suppress in a liver activity enzymes, dependent CYP2D, CYP1A2 and CYP2C as well as of activity UDP-glucuronosyl-transferase, sulfotransferase and glutathione-S-transferase. The starvation causes accumulation of KoA and increases activity of N-acetyltransferase in the liver. Starvation induces the change of enzymes activity and correlates with the intensifying of the processes of lipolysis, glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis and, especially, ketogenesis which are appreciably initiated by introduction of acetone. The starvation and introduction of acetone increases metabolism of acetanilide and brombenzene, and, increasing the formation of toxic metabolites, raise its hepato-, nephro- and pulmotoxicity. The starvation attenuates elimination of indometacin from blood plasma, but intensifies conjugation of sulfadimidine with acetic acid.
