Several drugs with structural similarities to SKF-525A were tested for their ability to inhibit rat liver aldehyde oxidase using the experimental antitumour agent N-[(2'-dimethylamino)ethyl]acridine-4-carboxamide (AC; NSC 601316; acridine carboxamide) as substrate. The antihistamine D-chlorpheniramine, and the antiarrhythmics disopyramide, procainamide and lignocaine were ineffective in inhibiting this reaction. The antihistamines diphenhydramine, pheniramine, doxylamine, orphenadrine, methapyrilene and pyrilamine, gave IC50 values of 100-500 microM. The narcotic analgesics D-propoxyphene and, in particular, methadone were potent inhibitors of acridine formation with IC50 values of 15.5 and 0.31 microM, respectively. Further analysis indicates mixed non-competitive type inhibition by methadone with inhibition constants (Kis and Kii, respectively) of 0.03 +/- 0.01 (SE) and 0.57 +/- 0.12 microM.
