The O-deethylation of 7-ethoxycoumarin was inhibited in a mixed type manner by cimetidine in vitro and in microsomes isolated from rats treated with cimetidine in vivo. It was found that the inhibition was even greater if cimetidine was preincubated with the microsomal suspension in the presence of an NADPH-generating system prior to the addition of substrate. In vitro the decrease in activity was accompanied by a decrease in cytochrome P-450 content. This decrease was unaffected by the addition of EDTA to the microsomal suspensions, eliminating the possibility that free radical production was responsible for the decrease in cytochrome P-450. The decrease in activity and cytochrome P-450 content following preincubation of microsomal suspensions with cimetidine could be attenuated if potassium ferricyanide was added to the suspensions. The deethylation activity and cytochrome P-450 content of liver microsomes prepared from cimetidine-treated rats was decreased compared to control animals. The activity and cytochrome P-450 content of microsomes from cimetidine-treated rats could also be restored if microsomes were washed with potassium ferricyanide prior to incubation with substrate. It is proposed that an intermediate complex of cimetidine and cytochrome P-450 could be involved in the inhibition of microsomal metabolism by cimetidine.
