Abstract
The methylenedioxyphenyl (MDP) substituent is a structural feature present in many plant chemicals that deter foraging by predatory insects and herbivores. With increasing use of herbal extracts in alternative medicine, human exposure to MDP-derived plant chemicals may also be significant. Early studies found that most MDP agents themselves possess relatively low intrinsic toxicity, but strongly influence the actions of other xenobiotics in mammals and insects by modulating cytochrome P-450 (CYP)-dependent biotransformation. Thus, after exposure to MDP chemicals an initial phase of CYP inhibition is followed by a sustained phase of CYP induction. In insects CYP inhibition by MDP agents underlies their use as pesticide synergists, but analogous inhibition of mammalian CYP impairs the clearance of drugs and foreign compounds. Conversely, induction of mammalian CYP by MDP agents increases xenobiotic oxidation capacity. Exposure of insects to MDP-containing synergists in the environment, in the absence of coadministered pesticides, may also enhance xenobiotic detoxication. Finally, although most MDP agents are well tolerated, several, typified by safrole, aristolochic acid, and MDP-kavalactones, are associated with significant toxicities, including the risk of hepatotoxicity or tumorigenesis. Thus, the presence of MDP-substituted chemicals in the environment may produce a range of direct and indirect toxicities in target and nontarget species.

Abstract
[14C]-5-chloro-1,3-benzodioxol-4-amine was administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) to bile duct-cannulated rats (Alpk:ApfSD, Wistar derived) at 25 mg kg-1 to determine the rates and routes of excretion of the compound and to investigate its metabolic fate. A total of 89.1% of the dose was excreted in the 48 h following administration, the majority being recovered in the urine during the first 12 h. The main metabolite in both urine and bile, detected by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with radioprofiling and mass spectrometry, was identified as a demethylenated monosulfate conjugate. Unchanged parent compound formed a major component of the radiolabel excreted in urine and, in addition to unchanged parent and demethylenated sulphate conjugate, a large number of minor metabolites were detected in urine and bile. The overall metabolic fate of 5-chloro-1,3-benzodioxol-4-amine in the rat was complex, with some similarities to previously studied methylenedioxyphenyl compounds.

Abstract
Sesamin, the major sesame oil lignan, is recognized for its health-promoting effects, including the lowering of cholesterol and elevation of gamma-tocopherol in rats and humans. However, little is known about the absorption and metabolism of sesamin in humans. In this study, 6 healthy volunteers took a single dose of sesame oil (508 micromol sesamin) and their urine was collected for four 12-h periods. The urine samples were treated with beta-glucuronidase/sulphatase and extracted with chloroform. The major urinary sesamin metabolite in the chloroform extract was collected using HPLC diode array detector and characterized as (1R,2S,5R,6S)-6-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-3,7-dioxabicyclo-[3,3,0]octane using NMR and mass spectroscopy. A quantitative (1)H-NMR technique, based on the methylenedioxyphenyl protons signal (delta 5.91), was used for the quantification of the metabolite in the chloroform extracts of urine. The excretion of the sesamin catechol metabolite ranged from 22.2 to 38.6% (mean +/- SD, 29.3 +/- 5.6) of the ingested dose and happened mainly in the 1st 12 h after ingestion.

Abstract
1. The inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP)-mediated substrate oxidations by alkylamine-based drugs was investigated in rat hepatic microsomes. The effects of pre-incubation of the drugs with NADPH-fortified microsomes on inhibition potency was evaluated in relation to the formation of metabolite intermediate (MI) complexes with CYP in vitro. 2. The selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine (FLU) emerged as a potent and preferential inhibitor of CYP2C11 in rat liver microsomes. After FLU biotransformation in NADPH-supplemented microsomes, IC50 values of 2 and 1 microM were determined against CYP2C11-dependent testosterone 2alpha- and 16alpha-hydroxylation; in the absence of pre-incubation, the corresponding IC50 values were 47 and 39 microM. MI complexation of CYP appeared to contribute significantly to inhibition by FLU, as evidenced by the 21% decrease in apparent microsomal CYP content produced by 50 microM FLU in the presence of NADPH. 3. The secondary amines nisoxetine (NIS), and especially, desipramine (DES) and nortriptyline (NOR), also inhibited CYP2C11 and generated MI complexes with microsomal CYP. In contrast, with the exception of SKF-525-A, tertiary alkylamines (10 compounds) inhibited specific CYP activities but did not form MI complexes. Pre-incubation of these agents with NADPH-supplemented microsomes did not enhance inhibition of CYP activities, thus suggesting that formation of inhibitory metabolites was minimal for these compounds. 4. These findings implicate drug-mediated MI complexation of CYPs in the inhibition of hepatic biotransformation processes by secondary alkylamines. In contrast, tertiary amines did not generate significant quantities of CYP-MI complexes under the test conditions. Despite their diffusion from the CYP active site, inhibition produced by tertiary amines and stable metabolites of other drugs may be significant. However, such inhibition would be of shorter duration than that from MI complexation, which involves quasi-covalent binding to the haem and prevention of oxygen activation.

Abstract
In this study, a simple in vitro method for detecting human P450 (CYP) quasi-irreversible and irreversible inhibitors was evaluated. For the method, cDNA-expressed CYPs were applied to microtiter plate assays, CYP inhibitors were co-incubated with fluorometric substrates, and IC(50) were continuously measured (without stopping enzyme reactions). The typical reversible inhibitors (sulfaphenazole, tranylcypromine, quinidine, ketoconazole) showed constant IC(50) throughout the reaction. In contrast, the typical quasi-irrversible inhibitors (isosafrole, erythromycin, troleandomycin, diltiazem) and the typical irreversible inhibitors (furafylline, propranolol, mifepristone) showed time-dependent decreases in IC(50). For CYP3A4 inhibition studies, two substrates, 7-benzyloxyresorufin (BzRes) and 7-benzyloxy-4-trifluoromethyl-coumarin (BFC), were used. The IC(50) of the CYP3A4 inhibitors were dependent on the substrate. However, the quasi-irreversible and irreversible inhibitors could be detected by examining changes in the IC(50), regardless of the substrate. Further, the detection method was applied to josamycin and bergamottin. Josamycin did not show definite time-dependent decreases in IC(50) for CYP 3A4, suggesting that josamycin is neither a quasi-irrversible nor an irreversible inhibitor of CYP3A4. On the other hand, bergamottin showed time-dependent decreases in IC(50) for CYP1A2, CYP 2C9, CYP 2C19, CYP 2D6 and CYP 3A4, suggesting that bergamottin is a quasi-irrversible or an irreversible inhibitor of the 5 CYP isoforms. This method provides more rapid and reliable detection of quasi-irreversible and irreversible inhibitors and may be useful in drug discovery.

Abstract
The cytochrome P450s (CYPs) constitute a superfamily of isoforms that play an important role in the oxidative metabolism of drugs. Each CYP isoform possesses a characteristic broad spectrum of catalytic activities of substrates. Whenever 2 or more drugs are administered concurrently, the possibility of drug interactions exists. The ability of a single CYP to metabolise multiple substrates is responsible for a large number of documented drug interactions associated with CYP inhibition. In addition, drug interactions can also occur as a result of the induction of several human CYPs following long term drug treatment. The mechanisms of CYP inhibition can be divided into 3 categories: (a) reversible inhibition; (b) quasi-irreversible inhibition; and (c) irreversible inhibition. In mechanistic terms, reversible interactions arise as a result of competition at the CYP active site and probably involve only the first step of the CYP catalytic cycle. On the other hand, drugs that act during and subsequent to the oxygen transfer step are generally irreversible or quasi-irreversible inhibitors. Irreversible and quasi-irreversible inhibition require at least one cycle of the CYP catalytic process. Because human liver samples and recombinant human CYPs are now readily available, in vitro systems have been used as screening tools to predict the potential for in vivo drug interaction. Although it is easy to determine in vitro metabolic drug interactions, the proper interpretation and extrapolation of in vitro interaction data to in vivo situations require a good understanding of pharmacokinetic principles. From the viewpoint of drug therapy, to avoid potential drug-drug interactions, it is desirable to develop a new drug candidate that is not a potent CYP inhibitor or inducer and the metabolism of which is not readily inhibited by other drugs. In reality, drug interaction by mutual inhibition between drugs is almost inevitable, because CYP-mediated metabolism represents a major route of elimination of many drugs, which can compete for the same CYP enzyme. The clinical significance of a metabolic drug interaction depends on the magnitude of the change in the concentration of active species (parent drug and/or active metabolites) at the site of pharmacological action and the therapeutic index of the drug. The smaller the difference between toxic and effective concentration, the greater the likelihood that a drug interaction will have serious clinical consequences. Thus, careful evaluation of potential drug interactions of a new drug candidate during the early stage of drug development is essential.

Abstract
Piperonylic acid (PA) is a natural molecule bearing a methylenedioxy function that closely mimics the structure of trans-cinnamic acid. The CYP73A subfamily of plant P450s catalyzes trans-cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylation, the second step of the general phenylpropanoid pathway. We show that when incubated in vitro with yeast-expressed CYP73A1, PA behaves as a potent mechanism-based and quasi-irreversible inactivator of trans-cinnamate 4-hydroxylase. Inactivation requires NADPH, is time dependent and saturable (KI = 17 &mgr;M, kinact = 0.064 min-1), and results from the formation of a stable metabolite-P450 complex absorbing at 427 nm. The formation of this complex is reversible with substrate or other strong ligands of the enzyme. In plant microsomes PA seems to selectively inactivate the CYP73A P450 subpopulation. It does not form detectable complexes with other recombinant plant P450 enzymes. In vivo PA induces a sharp decrease in 4-coumaric acid concomitant to cinnamic acid accumulation in an elicited tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) cell suspension. It also strongly decreases the formation of scopoletin in tobacco leaves infected with tobacco mosaic virus.

Abstract
P450 complex formation and the unusual pharmacokinetics of methylenedioxyphenyl HIV protease inhibitors were examined by in vitro studies using human and rat liver microsomes and by in vivo oral dosing studies. In vitro spectral studies indicated that the formation of a P450 complex having absorbance maxima at 425 and 456 nm was time and concentration dependent; 27-60% of the total P450 was complexed in dexamethasone-induced rat liver microsomes after a 30-min incubation with 100 microM HIV protease inhibitors. Methoxy substitution on the phenyl ring of the methylenedioxyphenyl moiety increased formation of the P450 complex, whereas chlorine substitution markedly decreased the P450 complexation. Kinetic studies on the P450 complex formation indicated that both methoxy and chlorine substitution affected the maximum complex formation rate (Vmax), while it had little effect on Km values (approximately 10 microM). This complexation in human liver microsomes was inhibited markedly by an anti-CYP3A1 antibody. Furthermore, the P450 complex formation resulted in a time-dependent loss of CYP3A-catalyzed marker activities (testosterone 2beta/6beta-hydroxylase) in both rat and human liver microsomes. Collectively, these results point to the involvement of CYP3A isoforms in P450 complexation by methylenedioxyphenyl HIV protease inhibitors. Additionally, after oral administration to rats, one of these HIV protease inhibitors (Compound I), which complexed P450 to the greatest extent, showed no elimination over a period of 500 min after administration of the highest dose. It is suggested that formation of a quasi-irreversible metabolite-CYP3A complex with methylenedioxyphenyl HIV protease inhibitors was responsible for the CYP3A-selective time-dependent loss of catalytic function and the unusual dose-dependent pharmacokinetics after oral administration.

Abstract
1. The metabolism of dopamine analogues, differing in their ring substituents and length of side chain, has been examined in rat. 2. Both benzylamines and phenethylamines were converted to their analogous acids. Where sought, the corresponding alcohols were present only in minute traces, or were undetectable. 3. Benzylamines were largely excreted as such, possibly conjugated, and this output, together with acid metabolites, accounts for most of the dose. In contrast, only a minor part of the phenethylamine dose was excreted unchanged, and much of what was given remains unaccounted for. 4. With increasing chain length the proportion of the dose found as urinary metabolites decreases markedly; long-chain (hydrophobic) amines may be sequestered in fat depots rendering them largely unavailable for metabolism. 5. beta-Oxidation of long-chain aromatic acids is observed. 6. Catechols showed evidence of O-methylation, and some O-methyl compounds were demethylated. N-methylation and N-demethylation were, at best, very minor pathways. 7. No overall pattern emerged between the position of substituents and the extent of oxidation by monoamine oxidase. No pattern at all was apparent with the benzylamines. Phenethylamines showed a trend towards a lower rate of metabolism for secondary and tertiary amines. Phenethylamines and propylamines with ortho substituents exhibited a lower rate of metabolite excretion than did their analogues.

Abstract
The cytochrome P450-mediated oxidative demethylenation of the benzo-1,3-dioxoles (methylenedioxyphenyl compounds, MDPs), methylenedioxybenzene (MDB), methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), and methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), by rabbit liver microsomes and cytochrome P450IIB4 (CYP2B4) was examined. Material balance studies indicated that demethylenation to catechol derivatives is a major metabolic pathway for MDB, MDA and MDMA. The reactions required NADPH and were inhibited by CO/O2 (4:1, v/v). Biphasic double-reciprocal plots of MDMA, MDA and MDB oxidation suggested participation of more than one isozyme of cytochrome P450 in the reaction. Phenobarbital (PB) induction was selective in that the Vmax values for MDB were increased but not those for MDA and MDMA. Exposure of liver microsomes from PB-pretreated animals to phencyclidine (PCP) markedly suppressed MDB oxidation but had little effect on MDA and MDMA demethylenation. Reconstitution experiments with CYP2B4 demonstrated that MDB is a good substrate for the isozyme; but the relative demethylenation activities for MDA and MDMA were 1 and 2% of that for MDB. These results indicate that the PB-inducible isozymes such as CYP2B4 appear to play an important role in MDB demethylenation, whereas MDA and MDMA oxidation is mediated mainly by constitutive isozymes.

Abstract
An i.p. administration of rats with piperine (100 mg/kg) and piperonyl butoxide (400 mg/kg) produced a significant decrease in hepatic cytochrome P-450, and activities of benzphetamine N-demethylase, aminopyrine N-demethylase and aniline hydroxylase 1 hr after the treatment. Twenty-four hr later, these parameters along with cytochrome b5 and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase remained depressed only in piperine-treated rats. In contrast, piperonyl butoxide caused a significant induction of these parameters with the exception of cytochrome b5 and aminopyrine N-demethylase, which were up by 36 and 33% over their respective controls but not significantly. These results point up that effect of piperine on hepatic mixed-function oxidases is monophasic while that of piperonyl butoxide is biphasic.

Abstract
Cannabidiol induced a carbon monoxide-like complex with mouse hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 during NADPH-dependent metabolism in vitro on a spectral basis. The reduction by dithionite was required for the maximal development of a spectrum. The complex showed a peak at 450 nm which shifted to 419 or 423 nm, respectively, by further addition of hemoglobin or myoglobin. Cannabidiol-induced complex formation required molecular oxygen, and was decreased by the addition of inhibitors of cytochrome P-450-dependent monoxygenase. Pretreatment of mice with phenobarbital (80 or 100 mg/kg, i.p. for 3 days) but not 3-methylcholanthrene (80 mg/kg, i.p.) increased the complex formation. In contrast, pretreatment with cobaltous chloride (40 mg/kg, i.p. for 3 days) decreased the complex formation. 8,9-Dihydro- and 1,2,8,9-tetrahydrocannabidiols also induced the same spectrum as that of above complex, whereas cannabidiol monomethyl- and dimethylethers reduced this ability. In addition, both cannabidivarin and cannabigerol induced the complex formation, although delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabinol and cannabielsoin did not. Olivetol but not d-limonene induced the spectrum of the complex to some extent. These results indicate that cannabidiol induces a carbon monoxide-like complex with cytochrome P-450 during hepatic microsomal metabolism, and suggest that phenobarbital-inducible cytochrome P-450s mediate at least one of the metabolic steps of CBD to form the complex, as well as the importance of the resorcinol moiety of CBD for the complex formation.

Abstract
1. Inhibitory activity of dihydrosafrole towards benzo[a]pyrene (BP) hydroxylase activity in hepatic microsomes from beta-naphthoflavone (BNF)-induced rats, and in reconstituted systems containing cytochrome P-450c, increased dramatically on preincubation of the inhibitor with NADPH; no inhibition occurred without preincubation. The level of BP hydroxylase inhibition was associated with the progressive formation of the 456 nm dihydrosafrole metabolite-cytochrome P-450c spectral complex during preincubation. 2. Inhibition of BP hydroxylase by dihydrosafrole in control microsomes, and inhibition of ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) in microsomes (control or BNF-induced) and in reconstituted systems with cytochrome P-450c, did not require preincubation and apparently was not dependent on prior formation of the dihydrosafrole metabolite-cytochrome P-450 complex. 3. Kinetic studies established that, following preincubation with NADPH, dihydrosafrole was a noncompetitive inhibitor of both BP hydroxylase and EROD activities. In the absence of preincubation, dihydrosafrole was an effective competitive inhibitor of EROD in BNF-induced microsomes and in reconstituted systems with cytochrome P-450c. 4. Both ethoxyresorufin and benzo[a]pyrene inhibited the development of the type I optical difference spectrum of dihydrosafrole in reconstituted systems containing cytochrome P-450c. Inhibition by ethoxyresorufin was competitive while that caused by benzo[a]pyrene was noncompetitive in nature. 5. The type II ligand phenylimidazole was an effective noncompetitive inhibitor of EROD activity but failed to exert any inhibitory effect on cytochrome P-450c-mediated BP hydroxylase activity. Phenylimidazole inhibited formation of the dihydrosafrole type I optical difference spectrum non-competitively. 6. The results indicate that ethoxyresorufin and benzo[a]pyrene may occupy different binding sites on cytochrome P-450c and that dihydrosafrole binds primarily to the site utilized by ethoxyresorufin.

Abstract
A series of eight 4-n-alkoxymethylenedioxybenzene (AMDB) derivatives were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on several mono-oxygenase reactions and their capacity to form metabolite complexes with cytochrome P-450 in vitro in hepatic microsomes from phenobarbital (PB)-and Beta-naphthoflavone (Beta NF)-induced rats. Ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase in Beta NF-induced microsomes and aminopyrine N-demethylase in PB-induced microsomes were most susceptible to inhibition by the test compounds. In contrast, aldrin epoxidation and arylhydrocarbon hydroxylase in PB-and Beta NF-induced microsomes, respectively, were not inhibited by derivatives of AMDB. All AMDB derivatives elicited spectral complexes with cytochrome P-450, the characteristics of which were influenced by the microsomes employed and by the length of the AMDB alkoxy side-chain. Derivatives containing short-chain alkoxy substituents (C1 to C3) formed unstable metabolite complexes and generated substantial quantities of carbon monoxide (CO), those with intermediate length alkoxy groups (C4 to C6) generated little CO and rapidly formed intense spectral complexes (large delta A max), and those with the largest alkoxy groups (C7 and C8) formed no CO and elicited complexes of high stability. Quantitative structure-activity analyses showed that the biological data could be described by parabolic equations in II, the hydrophobic constant of the alkoxy substituent, and suggested the importance to AMDB interactions of a lipophilic-binding region at the active centre of the cytochrome P-450. The alkoxy chain length for optimal mono-oxygenase inhibition and complex formation with cytochrome P-450 appeared to be about five or six carbon atoms. The data suggest that the capacity of AMDB compounds to form stable inhibitory complexes with cytochrome P-450 may not always be associated with their ability to inhibit mono-oxygenase activity.

Abstract
Several 1,3-benzodioxoles (BD) and related compounds were studied in relation to their ability to generate metabolite complexes with hepatic cytochrome P-450 following administration in vivo to rats. BD derivatives that formed stable metabolite complexes with cytochrome P-450 were considerably more effective inducers of cytochrome P-450 and aryl hydrocarbon (benzo[alpha]pyrene) hydroxylase (AHH) activity than derivatives that did not form stable complexes. Linear regression analysis showed that AHH activity was well correlated (r = 0.980) with total (i.e. complexed plus uncomplexed) cytochrome P-450 content and was not correlated with levels of uncomplexed cytochrome P-450. Aminopyrine N-demethylase (APDM) activity in hepatic microsomes from rats treated with 1,3-benzodioxoles was moderately correlated in a linear relationship with uncomplexed levels of cytochrome P-450 and not with total cytochrome P-450.

Abstract
Spectral and inhibitory interactions of two methylenedioxyphenyl (MDP) compounds (dihydrosafrole (DHS) and 4,5-dichloro-1,2-methylenedioxybenzene (DCMB] and 4-n-butyl dioxolane (BD) were studied in vitro in reconstituted systems incorporating cytochromes P-450b and P-450c, purified respectively from hepatic microsomes of phenobarbital (PB)- and beta-naphthoflavone (beta NF)-treated rats. In NADPH-fortified reconstituted systems containing P-450b, DHS yielded a stable type III spectral complex with peaks at 428 and 458 nm; a complex with a single 456 nm peak was formed in systems containing cytochrome P-450c. DCMB formed unstable 456-458 nm spectral complexes with both isozymes, and BD generated an unstable complex with a single Soret peak near 428 nm with cytochrome P-450b; no spectral interaction occurred between BD and cytochrome P-450c. Carbon monoxide was formed in incubations of DCMB with both isozymes but was not observed with either DHS or BD. Marked selectivity was observed in the ability of the test compounds to inhibit selected mono-oxygenase reactions in the reconstituted systems. Thus, while DHS was an effective inhibitor of cytochrome P-450b-mediated ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase (ECD), it failed to inhibit aldrin epoxidase (AE) in the same system; DCMB and BD inhibited both of these reactions. In reconstituted systems incorporating cytochrome P-450c, DHS and DCMB, but not BD, were effective inhibitors of ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (ERD) activity but none of the compounds showed any inhibitory activity towards aryl hydrocarbon (benzo[alpha]pyrene)hydrolase (AHH) activity. The results indicate that metabolite complex formation with cytochrome P-450 is not the sole criterion for inhibition of mono-oxygenase activity by MDP and related compounds, and that in some cases type I competitive interactions at the substrate binding sites may be the primary contributing factor.

Abstract
The binding of isocyanides and the metabolites of piperonyl butoxide (PBO) to reduced cytochrome P-450 in intact microsomes gives rise to the type III optical difference spectrum which is characterized by two pH dependent peaks in the Soret region. Each of the purified cytochrome P-450 isozymes (A1, B1, B2, B3) metabolized PBO and produced a spectrum in the Soret region. Only the A1 fraction produced the pH dependent type III spectrum. The B1 fraction produced a spectrum with only one peak at 430 nm while the spectrum produced by both the B2 and B3 fractions contained only the 455 nm peak. Each of the isozymes produce pH dependent type III spectra with both ethyl isocyanide and phenyl isocyanide dichloride.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide is a minor product formed during the cytochrome P-450-catalyzed oxidation of 1,3-benzodioxoles. Studies with [2-13C]methylene 1,3-benzodioxoles established that the methylenic carbon of the 1,3-benzodioxole ring is the source of the carbon atom in the carbon monoxide, and an isotope effect of 1.7 to 2.0 was observed with [2-2H2]methylene derivatives. Incubations conducted in the presence of [18O]dioxygen and [18O]water showed that the oxygen atom in carbon monoxide arises from both oxygen and water. A mechanism consistent with these data has been proposed for carbon monoxide formation. It involves initial monooxygenation of the 1,3-benzodioxole to a 2-hydroxy derivative that subsequently forms a 2-hydroxyphenyl formate intermediate, which yields either carbon monoxide or formate. The proposed mechanism is discussed in terms of its possible relationship to the inhibitory activity of 1,3-benzodioxoles toward microsomal oxidation.

Abstract
Changes in cytochromes P-450, aminopyrine N-demethylase (APDM), aromatic hydrocarbon (benzo[a]pyrene) hydroxylase (AHH), and type III spectral complex formation were measured in hepatic microsomes of control, phenobarbital (PB)-, and beta-naphthoflavone (beta NF)-induced rats after a single dose of dihydrosafrole (4-n-propyl-1,2-methylenedioxybenzene, DHS). Time profiles of changes in these microsomal parameters were complex and showed that APDM activities and cytochrome P-450 levels decreased immediately after treatment and were associated with concurrent increases in the intensity of the type III methylenedioxyphenyl (MDP) metabolite/cytochrome P-450 spectral complex. In noninduced rats, both APDM activity and cytochrome P-450 levels returned to control levels between 12 and 24 hr after treatment with DHS and subsequently increased above control levels. In PB- and beta NF-induced animals, the inhibitory phases were more prolonged and activity never returned to levels higher than the corresponding controls. AHH activity was increased substantially (two- to three-fold) in all cases after DHS administration. Although displacement of the MDP metabolite/cytochrome P-450 complex with 2-methylbenzimidazole generally led to a marked restoration of cytochrome P-450 levels and partially reversed the inhibition of APDM, it had little or no effect on AHH activities.

Abstract
Equilibrium dialysis studies established that 1-[4'-(3H)-phenyl]imidazole (PI) was bound to hepatic microsomal suspensions from control, phenobarbital (PB)- and 3-methylcholanthrene (3MC)-treated rats and that the binding was directly related to the cytochrome P-450 content. Computer-assisted Scatchard plot analysis of the binding data indicated the existence of two major types of microsomal binding sites in both control and induced rats, one with a high affinity (Ka approximately 1.5 X 10(7) M-1) and the other with a low affinity (Ka approximately 5 X 10(5) M-1) for PI. The binding of PI to the highly purified, individual cytochrome P-450s that constituted the major forms from the PB- and beta-naphthoflavone (beta NF)-induced rats exhibited affinities similar to the high and low affinity binding sites observed in microsomal suspensions. The two types of PI binding sites were characteristic of two classes of cytochrome P-450, and the major cytochrome induced by PB and 3MC (or beta NF) were each associated with one of these two classes. In concurrence with this, it was shown that, although PI was an excellent inhibitor of aromatic hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) activity in PB-induced rats, it exhibited little or no inhibitory activity towards AHH activity in 3MC-induced animals.

Abstract
Seven compounds isolated from Fructus Schizandrae chinensis, a traditional Chinese tonic, which is also able to increase liver lesions by hepatoxic chemicals, are named Schizandrin (Sin) A, B and C, Schizandrol (Sol) A and B and Schizandrer (Ser) A and B. They are dibenzo[a,c]cyclooctene derivatives. Dimethyl-4,4'-dimethoxy-5,6,5',6'-dimethylenedioxy-biphenyl-2,2'-dicarboxylate (DDB) is an intermediate for synthesizing Sin C. The interactions of these compounds with rat liver microsomes in vitro have been investigated. Sol A and Sol B gave type I difference spectrum, the other six compounds gave 'reverse type I' difference spectrum. When Schizandrins or DDB were incubated with NADPH-reduced microsomes, Sin B, Sin C, Sol B, Ser A and Ser B generated dual Soret peaks of 455--460 nm and 425--430 nm, the other three compounds caused a difference spectrum without 455 nm peak. All these compounds more or less inhibit liver microsomal hydroxylation of benzo[a]pyrene (BP) demethylation of aminopyrine. Sin B, Sol B and DDB decreased mutagenicity of BP in Ames test.

Abstract
The metabolism of the 3,4-methylenedioxy derivatives of mandelic acid (1), phenylacetic acid (2), benzoic acid (3), 3-phenylpropionic acid (4) and cinnamic acid (5) was studied in rats. Following intragastric dosage (1 mmol/kg) the compounds and their metabolites were excreted in the urine within 24 hrs. Recoveries of roughly 85% were obtained. Except for compound (1) which was excreted to a large extent unchanged, glycine conjugates were the major urinary metabolites. Compound (2) formed 3,4-methylenedioxyphenylacetylglycine whereas compounds (3), (4) and (5) were converted to 3,4-methylenedioxybenzoylglycine. No evidence was found with any of the compounds for demethylenation and subsequent excretion of catecholic metabolites.
