Effect of in vitro and in vivo treatment with mitomycin C on activities of CYP2D1/2, CYP2C11, and CYP1A2 in rat liver / 药学学报

ABSTRACT

<p><b>AIM</b>To evaluate the effect of in vitro and in vivo treatment with mitomycin C (MMC) on activities of CYP2D1/2, CYP2C1 , and CYP1A2 in the liver of male rats.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Using HPLC to determine the activities of the three isoenzymes in rat liver microsomes by detecting the specific metabolites of their substrates after treatment with inducers in vivo or inhibitors in vitro.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In vitro, MMC inhibited the activity of CYP2D1/2, CYP2C11, and CYP1A2 in dexamethasone-induced microsomes by (19 +/- 6)% (P < 0.05), (85 +/- 10)% (P < 0.01), and (36 +/- 6)% (P < 0.05), respectively, and decreased the activity of CYP1A2 in beta-naphthoflavone-induced microsomes by (58 +/- 6)% (P < 0.01). Rats were injected intraperitoneally with 20% of the LD50 of MMC for 3 or 6 d. The treatment showed no significant effect on microsomal activities of CYP2D1/2, CYP2C11 or CYP1A2.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>MMC can inhibit the activities of CYP2D1/2, CYP2C11, and CYP1A2 in rat liver microsomes in vitro, but it showed no significant effect on the activities of the three isoenzymes in vivo.</p>
