Mechanism of inhibition by carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone and sodium deoxycholate of cytochrome P-450-catalysed hepatic microsomal drug metabolism

Abstract
Treatment of rat liver microsomal fraction with 0.03-0.12% sodium deoxycholate and 0.005-0.06 mM carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone decreases phospholipid-dependent hydrophobicity of the microsomal membrane, assayed by the kinetics of 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfonate binding and ethyl isocyanide difference spectra. Sodium deoxycholate at a concentration of 0.01% lacks its detergent properties, but completely inhibits aminopyrine binding and activates the initial rate of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase. In the presence of 0.03-0.09% sodium deoxycholate the rate-limiting factor in p-hydroxylation of aniline is the content of cytochrome P-450, and that for N-demethylation of aminopyrine is the activity of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase. Carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone has no effect on the binding and metabolism of aniline; investigation of its inhibiting effect on aminopyrine N-demethylase established that the rate-limiting reaction is the dissociation of the enzyme-substrate complex in the microsomal preparations. In the mechanism of action of carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone the key step may be the electrostatic interaction of its protonated form and 1 of the forms of activated O2 at the catalytic center of cytochrome P-450. At least 2 different phospholipid-dependent hydrophobic zones are assumed to exist in the microsomal membrane, both coupled with cytochrome P-450. One of them reveals selective sensitivity to the protonation action of carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone and contains the binding protein for type I substrates and NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase; the other contains the cytochrome P-450 heme group and binding sites for type II substrates.
