Two N,N-dimethylphentermine (N,N-dimethyl-2-amino-2-methyl-3-phenylpropane) substrates differing in deuterium substitution have been used to determine the intermolecular and intramolecular isotope effects associated with the cytochrome P-450-dependent N-demethylation of this substrate. No intermolecular isotope effect was observed in Vmax or Vmax/Km when the reaction rates for this substrate were compared to those for the substrate in which both N-methyl groups contained deuterium. In contrast, identical isotope effects of 1.6 to 2.0 were observed in both Vmax and Vmax/Km when this reaction was studied with a substrate in which only one of the two N-methyl groups was substituted with deuterium. Furthermore, both the intermolecular and intramolecular isotope effects were independent of the cytochrome P-450/NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase mole ratio. From these data, it is concluded that: 1) the carbon-hydrogen bond cleavage step does not contribute significantly to Vmax; 2) the contribution of the carbon-hydrogen bond cleavage step to Vmax is not detectably increased through changes in the cytochrome P-450/NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase mole ratio; 3) the N-methyl groups are free to exchange at the enzyme active site. The basis for these conclusions is the proposal of a new kinetic model for interpretation of intramolecular isotope effects which shows that intramolecular isotope effects are not necessarily equal to intrinsic isotope effects and, in fact, may be much smaller.
