pubmed:abstractText
Characterization of xenobiotic metabolizing cytochrome P450s (P450s) was carried out in rat brain microsomes using the specific substrates, 7-pentoxy- and 7-ethoxyresorufin (PR and ER), metabolized in the liver by P450 2B1/2B2 and 1A1/1A2 respectively and 7-benzyloxyresorufin (BR), a substrate for both the isoenzymes. Brain microsomes catalysed the O-dealkylation of PR, BR and ER in the presence of NADPH. The ability to dealkylate alkoxyresorufins varied in different regions of the brain. Microsomes from the olfactory lobes exhibited maximum pentoxyresorufin-O-dealkylase (PROD), benzyloxyresorufin-O-dealkylase (BROD) and ethoxyresorufin-O-dealkylase (EROD) activities. The dealkylation was found to be inducer selective. While pretreatment with phenobarbital (PB; 80 mg/kg; i.p. x 5 days) resulted in significant induction in PROD (3-4 fold) and BROD (4-5 fold) activities, 3-methylcholanthrene (MC; 30 mg/kg; i.p. x 5 days) had no effect on the activity of PROD and only a slight effect on that of BROD (1.4 fold). MC pretreatment significantly induced the activity of EROD (3 fold) while PB had no effect on it. Kinetic studies have shown that this increase in the activities following pretreatment with P450 inducers was associated with a significant increase in the velocity of the reaction (Vmax) of O-dealkylation. In vitro studies using organic inhibitors and antibodies have further provided evidence that the O-dealkylation of alkoxyresorufins is isoenzyme specific. While in vitro addition of alpha-naphthoflavone (ANF), an inhibitor of P450 1A1/1A2 catalysed reactions and antibody for hepatic P450 1A1/1A2 isoenzymes produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of EROD activity, metyrapone, an inhibitor of P450 2B1/2B2 and antibody for hepatic P450 2B1/2B2 significantly inhibited the activity of PROD and BROD in vitro. The data suggest that, as in the case of liver, dealkylation of alkoxyresorufins can be used as a biochemical tool to characterise the xenobiotic metabolising P450s and substrate selectivity of P450 isoenzymes in rat brain microsomes.
