title: Cytochrome P-450 and drug metabolism in Trypanosoma cruzi: effects of phenobarbital.
abstract: The epimastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi hydroxylate drugs at substantial rates. The activity, which is of the mixed-function oxidase type, is increased by phenobarbital and is inhibited by CO, SKF 525-A, and metyrapone. The hydroxylation is paralleled by increases in free and membrane-bound ribosomes.
