The effect of 4-(4-chlorobenzyl)pyridine (4-CBP) on rat hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 (P450) and its molecular species (CYP2B1, 2E1, 3A2, 2C11, and 2C12), and on drug-metabolizing enzyme activities were examined in vivo and in vitro. Treatment of rats with 4-CBP resulted in the induction of P450 and drug-metabolizing enzymes in a dose-dependent manner, but it was markedly inhibitory at higher dose levels. Immunoblot analyses revealed that 4-CBP induces both CYP2B1 and 2E1; however, both were decreased by increasing the dose of 4-CBP. The in vitro inhibitory experiment revealed that 4-CBP strongly inhibited benzphetamine N-demethylase activity, but not dimethylnitrosamine N-demethylase activity. The present findings provide information on the induction and inhibition effect of chlorinated benzylpyridine on hepatic microsomal P450s and drug-metabolizing enzymes in vivo and in vitro.
