Drug metabolism and disposition: the biological fate of chemicals, 24(9), 948-954 (1996-09-01)
In vitro methods were used to identify the cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme(s) involved in S-mephenytoin N-demethylation. S-Mephenytoin (200 microM) was incubated with human liver microsomes, and nirvanol formation was quantitated by reversed-phase HPLC. S-Mephenytoin N-demethylase activity in a panel of

Drug metabolism and disposition: the biological fate of chemicals, 26(8), 775-778 (1998-08-11)
We tested the ability of human liver microsomes (HLMs) and recombinant human cytochrome P450 (CYP or P450) isoforms to catalyze the N-demethylation of nirvanol-free (S)-mephenytoin [(S)-MP] in vitro. In mixed HLMs, the kinetics of (S)-MP N-demethylation suggested two contributing activities.

Chemical research in toxicology, 6(2), 188-196 (1993-03-01)
The pharmacodynamics of rat hepatic cytochrome P450 2B (P450 2B) induction by phenobarbital (PB) and two structural congeners, dl-5-ethyl-5-phenylhydantoin (EPH) and dl-5-ethyl-5-phenyloxazolidinedione (EPO), were investigated. The in vivo induction of P450 2B was probed in F344/NCr rats by measuring immunoreactive

To explore the enantioselectivity of ligand interaction with the putative phenobarbital receptor, the pharmacodynamics of cytochrome P450 2B (CYP2B) induction by racemic 5-ethyl-5-phenylhydantoin and its two enantiomers were investigated in the male F344/NCr rat and in cultured adult male rat
R W Nims et al.
Journal of biochemical toxicology, 9(5), 269-278 (1994-10-01)
The abilities of structural congeners of phenobarbital to induce immunoreactive hepatic cytochrome P450 2B (CYP2B) protein and associated catalytic activity (benzyloxyresorufin O-dealkylation) in the male B6C3F1 mouse were examined. Interspecies differences in inducing ability were examined through comparison of the
