1. The effect of a single dose of 2-allyl-2-isopropylacetamide on the cytochrome P-450 concentration in rat liver microsomal fraction was studied. The drug caused a rapid loss of cytochrome P-450 followed by a gradual increase to above the normal concentration. 2. The loss of cytochrome P-450 was accompanied by a loss of microsomal haem and by a brown–green discoloration of the microsomal fraction suggesting that a change in the chemical constitution of the lost haem had taken place. Direct evidence for this was obtained by prelabelling the liver haems with radioactive 5-aminolaevulate: the drug caused a loss of radioactivity from the haem with an increase of radioactivity in a fraction containing certain un-identified green pigments. 3. Evidence was obtained by a dual-isotopic procedure that rapidly turning-over haem(s) may be preferentially affected. 4. The loss of cytochrome P-450 as well as the loss of microsomal haem and the discoloration of the microsomal fraction were more intense in animals pretreated with phenobarbitone and were much less evident when compound SKF 525-A (2-diethylaminoethyl 3,3-diphenylpropylacetate) was given before 2-allyl-2-isopropylacetamide, suggesting that the activity of the drug-metabolizing enzymes may be involved in these effects. 5. The relevance of the destruction of liver haem to the increased activity of 5-aminolaevulate synthetase caused by 2-allyl-2-isopropylacetamide is discussed.

Measurements of the initial rate of Ca2+ transport by rat liver microsomal preparations reveal the existence of two phases of transport activity. The first, a phase of rapid transport, is complete by 3-5 min, at which time the second (slower) phase begins; this remains linear for up to at least 40 min. The initial phase is minimal in the absence of MgATP. The initial rate of Ca2+ transport reaches values as high as 25 nmol/min per mg of protein; the Km for Ca2+total is 1-2 micrometer and that for MgATPtotal about 500 micrometer. Ruthenium Red (3-5 nmol/mg of protein) has little effect on the initial rate of transport, whereas tributylin (2 micrometer) inhibits equally in a KC1- or a KNO3-containing medium. Compunds that collapse components of the proton electrochemical gradient in mitochondria (valinomycin and carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone) each inhibit by 70-80% the initial rate of microsomal Ca2+ transport.

1. Reactions of N-demethylation, p-hydroxylation and N-oxidation of one substrate, i.e. dimethylaniline, have been used to show that the activating effect of Mg2+ takes place only in the first two reactions. 2. An increase in Vmax. of N-demethylation of dimethylaniline is accompanied by an increase in Km. In the p-hydroxylation of dimethylaniline Vmax. increases whereas Km does not change. A comparison of the changes in the Km values of these reactions with the change in Ks shows that in both cases Km does not characterize the affinity of cytochrome P-450 for dimethylaniline. 3. The rate-limiting site of N-demethylation and p-hydroxylation of dimethylaniline, as well as the total rate of NADPH oxidation in the presence of dimethylaniline, is between cytochromes b5 and P-450. Addition of Mg2+ to the incubation medium changes the hydrophobic environment of phosphatidylcholine in the membrane, the process being accompanied by a sharp increase in the fluorescence quantum yield of 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulphonate.

Previous studies have shown that 2-thiouracil derivatives are uncompetitive inhibitors of iodothyronine 5′-deiodinase activity of rat liver microsomal fraction. Therefore the interaction of radioiodinated 6-propyl-2-thiouracil with rat liver microsomal fraction and the effect of substrate, cofactor and other inhibitors of 5′-deiodinase activity activity were investigated. It was found that micromolar concentrations of, in order of increasing potency, 3,5-diiodotyrosine, thyroxine, 3,3′,5′-tri-iodothyronine and 3′,5′-di-iodothyronine significantly enhanced binding of 5-[125I]iodo-6-propyl-2-thiouracil to the enzyme preparation. This stimulation was not seen in the presence of 1 mM dithiothreitol, 0.1 mM-6-propyl-2-thiouracil, 0.1 mM-6-propyl-2-thiouracil, 0.1 M-2-mercapto-1-methylimidazole or 1 mM-sodium sulphite. These results support the hypothesis that thiouracil derivatives inhibit 5′-deiodinase activity by forming a mixed disulphide with an intermediate enzyme complex, probably a sulphenyl iodide.
