Abstract
1-Aminobenzotriazole (1-ABT) is a pan-specific, mechanism-based inactivator of the xenobiotic metabolizing forms of cytochrome P450 in animals, plants, insects, and microorganisms. It has been widely used to investigate the biological roles of cytochrome P450 enzymes, their participation in the metabolism of both endobiotics and xenobiotics, and their contributions to the metabolism-dependent toxicity of drugs and chemicals. This review is a comprehensive evaluation of the chemistry, discovery, and use of 1-aminobenzotriazole in these contexts from its introduction in 1981 to the present.

Abstract
Precocene II, a constituent of essential oils, shows antijuvenile hormone activity in insects and inhibits trichothecene production in fungi. We investigated the molecular mechanism by which precocene II inhibits trichothecene production in Fusarium graminearum, the main causal agent of Fusarium head blight and trichothecene contamination in grains. Voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), a mitochondrial outer membrane protein, was identified as the precocene II-binding protein by an affinity magnetic bead method. Precocene II increased the superoxide level in mitochondria as well as the amount of oxidized mitochondrial proteins. Ascorbic acid, glutathione, and α-tocopherol promoted trichothecene production by the fungus. These antioxidants compensated for the inhibitory activity of precocene II on trichothecene production. These results suggest that the binding of precocene II to VDAC may cause high superoxide levels in mitochondria, which leads to stopping of trichothecene production.

Abstract
The determinants of reduction of the dye MTT (3-[4,5dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) in rat hepatocytes have been investigated. NADH, NADPH, and succinate were substrates for MTT reduction in rat liver homogenate, activity being greatest with NADH and least with succinate. Similar results were obtained with submitochondrial particles isolated from rat liver. NAD(P)Hdependent reduction of MTT was also detected in rat liver microsomes and cytosol. Rotenone, at a concentration that inhibited NAD(P)H-dependent MTT reduction in submitochondrial particles, did not inhibit MTT reduction in rat hepatocytes. Malonate, at a concentration that inhibited succinate-dependent MTT reduction in liver homogenate, did not inhibit MTT reduction in rat hepatocytes. Incubation of rat hepatocytes with ethanol or lactate (increase NADH levels), dicoumarol (inhibitor of DT-diaphorase), aminopyrine or hexobarbitone (substrates for the NADPH-requiring cytochrome P450-dependent microsomal monooxygenase) led to significant increases in the level of cellular MTT reduction. From these data, it is concluded that extramitochondrial NAD(P)H is the principal reductant for MTT reduction in rat hepatocytes, with mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity being only a minor contributor. It is also possible that cellular generation of superoxide (as might be expected on redox cycling of endogenous quinones following inhibition of DT diaphorase by dicoumarol) may be another source of MTT reduction. Caution should be exercised in ascribing an alteration in the level of cellular MTT reduction to a change in mitochondrial performance in the absence of corroborating evidence.

Effects of CYP inhibitors on precocene I metabolism and toxicity in rat liver slices. Chem Biol Interact 2011; 193:109-18.

Abstract
We present a comprehensive in vitro approach to assessing metabolism-mediated hepatotoxicity using male Sprague-Dawley rat liver slices incubated with the well characterized hepatotoxicant, precocene I, and inhibitors of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes. This approach combines liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC MS) detection methods with multiple toxicity endpoints to enable identification of critical metabolic pathways for hepatotoxicity. The incubations were performed in the absence and presence of the non-specific CYP inhibitor, 1-aminobenzotriazole (ABT) and isoform-specific inhibitors. The metabolite profile of precocene I in rat liver slices shares some features of the in vivo profile, but also had a major difference in that epoxide dihydrodiol hydrolysis products were not observed to a measurable extent. As examples of our liver slice metabolite identification procedure, a minor glutathione adduct and previously unreported 7-O-desmethyl and glucuronidated metabolites of precocene I are reported. Precocene I induced hepatocellular necrosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner. ABT decreased the toxicity of precocene I, increased exposure to parent compound, and decreased metabolite levels in a dose-dependent manner. Of the isoform-specific CYP inhibitors tested for an effect on the precocene I metabolite profile, only tranylcypromine was noticeably effective, indicating a role of CYPs 2A6, 2C9, 2Cl9, and 2E1. With respect to toxicity, the order of CYP inhibitor effectiveness was ABT>diethyldithiocarbamate∼tranylcypromine>ketoconazole. Furafylline and sulfaphenazole had no effect, while quinidine appeared to augment precocene I toxicity. These results suggest that rat liver slices do not reproduce the reported in vivo biotransformation of precocene I and therefore may not be an appropriate model for precocene I metabolism. However, these results provide an example of how small molecule manipulation of CYP activity in an in vitro model can be used to confirm metabolism-mediated toxicity.

Abstract
Toxicity of compounds requiring glutathione for detoxification, thiol content and synthesis were determined in 24-h rat hepatocytes cultured in medium containing different concentrations of the sulphur amino acids. Glutathione synthesis was determined following prior depletion of glutathione with diethylmaleate. L-15 medium, which has high levels of cysteine and methionine (1 mM of each), provided some protection against dichloroacetone, dibromopropanol and dichloropropanol toxicity, and had a small effect on increasing glutathione content and synthesis, relative to Williams' medium E (WE) which has low levels (less than 0.5 mM) of both amino acids. However, WE containing N-acetylcysteine (NAC) (1 mM final cysteine concentration), with or without methionine (final concentration 1 mM), was a better cytoprotectant medium than L-15, markedly reducing toxicity of all three compounds, and rapidly (within 1.5 h) increasing cellular glutathione content. WE supplemented with methionine alone stimulated glutathione synthesis after an initial lag phase, and protected cultures against dichloropropanol, but not dibromopropanol or dichloroacetone, both of which are highly reactive in these cultures. There was a clear association between glutathione content at early time points in culture and toxicity observed at later time points, and overall these results indicate that differences in culture medium composition can alter intracellular glutathione content and xenobiotic toxicity.

Abstract
The loss of cytochrome P450 (CYP)-dependent activity continues to be a problem in the use of cultured hepatocytes in xenobiotic toxicity studies. It has been reported that the inclusion of pyruvate and various hormones in the culture medium improves the maintenance of various hepatic functions, including that of CYP2C11 mRNA expression. We have studied this further, by investigating the effects of the addition of pyruvate and hormones on various CYP-dependent enzyme activities and on the CYP-dependent toxicity of precocene II in rat hepatocyte cultures. No beneficial effects of this medium supplementation could be demonstrated.

Abstract
Estrogens are effective antioxidants in diverse biological systems. Despite their antioxidant activities, it is not known yet whether estrogens prevent or alleviate liver toxicity induced by oxidative stress. In the present work, we studied this possibility by examining in vitro the protective potential of different estrogen compounds (17beta-estradiol, 2-hydroxyestradiol, and diethylstilbestrol) against tert-butyl hydroperoxide-induced hepatocyte damage. Various parameters such as cell viability, lipid peroxidation, adenine nucleotide content, and thiol status were measured as an index of cytotoxicity. The protective effects of estrogens were compared to those of the iron chelator deferoxamine. The molecules tested prevented oxidant-induced cell death differently, showing variable degrees of protection. Deferoxamine was the most potent agent, followed by diethylstilbestrol and 2-hydroxyestradiol, 17beta-estradiol being the least efficient. The inhibitory effects on lipid and thiol oxidations paralleled the effects on cell viability. The molecules also reduced the oxidant-induced ATP depletion, except for 17beta-estradiol which had no effect on the decreased ATP levels. Our results suggest that the mechanisms of the preventive actions of estrogens may be related not only to their antioxidant activity against free radicals, but also and to a lesser extent to the maintenance of the normal redox status of the cell, which partially recovers the intracellular GSH levels.

Abstract
Hepatocytes were isolated and cultured from untreated rats and rats treated with isoniazid to induce cytochrome P4502E1. Isoniazid selectively increased p-nitrophenol hydroxylase activity in 2-h cultures, and increased the toxicity of both 1,3- and 2,3-dichloropropanol. Isoniazid also increased the rate and extent of glutathione depletion by the dichloropropanols. There was no effect of isoniazid on the toxicity of 1,3-dichloroacetone, precocene II or allyl alcohol. In addition, diethyldithiocarbamate selectively inhibited p-nitrophenol hydroxylase in 2-h cultures from untreated and isoniazid-treated rats, as well as abolishing toxicity of the dichloropropanols. In 24-h cultures from isoniazid-treated rats diethyldithiocarbamate inhibited high affinity MCOD activity by 55% and there was also a small but significant inhibition of precocene II toxicity. These results indicate that isoniazid-inducible P4502E1 can mediate the toxicity of dichloropropanol.

Abstract
The modulatory effect of adenosine on hepatic glutathione (GSH) synthesis has been investigated in an experimental model in which GSH synthesis from methionine was monitored in rat isolated hepatocytes previously depleted of GSH. Adenosine inhibited GSH synthesis in this system, with complete inhibition occurring at 1 mM. Studies with adenosine receptor agonists and antagonists and adenosine analogues devoid of agonist activity have indicated that this effect of adenosine is not receptor-mediated nor is it mediated through changes in ATP level or redox balance. Rather, the data are consistent with an inhibitory effect of adenosine on the methionine-->cysteine transsulphuration pathway, probably at the level of the enzyme S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase. Submaximal inhibitory concentrations of adenosine produced an effect on GSH synthesis additive to that obtained with a maximal inhibitory concentration of adrenaline, which inhibits GSH synthesis at the level of gamma-glutamylcysteinyl synthetase. Furthermore, exposure of hepatocytes to adenosine subsequent to brief treatment with the toxicant menadione precipitated cytotoxicity. These results suggest that adenosine-mediated inhibition of hepatic GSH synthesis may have a role in various pathological or toxicological states.
