Helenalin, a natural plant product with significant antitumor activities, decreased male BDF1 mouse hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 contents in vivo and in vitro. A single i.p. dose of 25 mg helenalin/kg body weight significantly (P less than 0.05) decreased microsomal cytochrome P450 contents and inhibited cytochrome P450-dependent mixed-function oxidase activities within 1-2 hr post-exposure. Helenalin (1.0 mM) decreased microsomal cytochrome P450 contents in vitro by 11% in the absence of NADPH and by 32% in the presence of NADPH. These in vitro and in vivo decreases in cytochrome P450 were accompanied by comparable decreases in total microsomal heme contents. Helenalin (1.0 mM) increased mouse hepatic microsomal oxygen consumption and NADPH utilization by 3.2 and 5.4 nmol/min/mg protein respectively. Helenalin (1.0 mM) significantly (P less than 0.05) increased microsomal lipid peroxidation in vitro, and this helenalin-induced increase in lipid peroxidation was inhibited completely by the addition of 0.05 mM EDTA. However, microsomal cytochrome P450 contents were equally affected by helenalin in the presence or absence of EDTA, suggesting that lipid peroxidation did not contribute to the helenalin-induced decrease in cytochrome P450. The addition of 0.05 mM hemin to microsomes treated in vitro with 1.0 mM helenalin resulted in a 58% recovery of cytochrome P450 contents. This ability of hemin to reconstitute cytochrome P450 in helenalin-treated microsomes suggests that helenalin produced a selective loss of heme from the cytochrome P450 holoprotein, and that the resulting cytochrome P450 apoprotein remained intact after helenalin treatment. The increased loss of microsomal cytochrome P450 produced by helenalin in the presence of NADPH suggests that a helenalin metabolite may be responsible for heme loss and the in vitro destruction of cytochrome P450.
