The kinetics of biotransformation of methoxyflurane by rat hepatic microsomes in vitro was studied. The rate of biotransformation as measured by analysis of metabolites continued to increase even at near-saturation concentrations of the anesthetic. Methoxyflurane biotransformation followed either an unbounded curve with empirical formula y = a ln(bx + 1) or an asymptotic curve with formula (see article) No substrate inhibition was observed. Total fluoride Vmax of 135.1 mmumol F-/mg protein/30' was increased to 931.9 by phenobarbital induction; free fluoride Vmax from 39.2 to 403.2. Thus, enzyme induction shifted biotransformation to the production of greater amounts of inorganic free fluoride metabolites than organic fluoride-containing metabolites. Phenobarbital induction caused qualitative as well as quantitative alteration in the biotransformation of methoxyflurane.
