Theophylline induces increase of hepatic cytochrome P-450 contents and P-450 dependent polysubstrate monooxygenases (e.g. p-nitroanisol-demethylase, 7-ethoxycoumarin-deethylase) in rats and other animals and in man. The purpose of this study is to investigate the long-term effect of theophylline on hepatic cytochrome P-450 and P-450 dependent enzyme activities in rats. P-450 content is enhanced after 6 days treatment with theophylline (150 mg/kg/d orally), but reaches the initial level after 28 days treatment. However, the P-450 dependent enzyme activities (7-ethoxycoumarin-deethylase, p-nitroanisol-demethylase) remain elevated. The in vitro inhibition of 7-ethoxycoumarin-deethylase by alpha-naphthoflavone and metyrapone suggests a mixed type induction by theophylline. Treatment of the animals with phenobarbital and theophylline or with benzo(alpha)pyrene and theophylline does not lead to an enhancement of P-450 content compared with a treatment solely by phenobarbital or benzo(alpha)pyrene. However, the simultaneous application of theophylline and phenobarbital increases the 7-ethoxycoumarin-deethylase and p-nitroanisol-demethylase activities compared with an exclusive phenobarbital treatment, whereas the benzo(alpha)pyrene effect is not enhanced by theophylline.
