title: [Effect of ingestion of derivatives of quinoxaline on the enzymatic detoxication activity of hepatic microsomes in the rat].
abstract: Female rats received quinoxaline, 2,3-dimethyl quinoxaline, 2,3-diphenyl quinoxaline and 2,3-dithiol quinoxaline by oral intubation for 4 days (500 mg/kg/day) and drug-metabolizing enzymes were investigated. A significant stimulation in liver microsomal enzymes occurred after 2,3-dimethyl quinoxaline and 2,3-diphenyl quinoxaline treatments; these changes were associated with increases in cytochrome P-450 level and in RNA and protein contents of the microsomal fraction. Quinoxaline had no effect on the metabolic rate of the studied substrates but increased the cytochrome P-450 and the RNA and protein levels; whereas, 2,3-dithiol quinoxaline inhibited the aminopyrine and N-methylaniline N-demethylations and decreased the cytochrome P-450 per mg microsomal protein.
