title: [Mechanism of inhibiting the cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenase system in liver with fluorocarbons].
abstract: The inducer of the liver monooxygenase system perfluorodecalin added to microsomes as a submicron emulsion forms an enzyme-substrate complex with cytochrome P-450. The K(app) values for the perfluorodecalin binding to cytochrome P-450 in microsomes isolated from the livers of control and phenobarbital-treated rats are 5 x 10(-5) M and 2.3 x 10(-6) M, respectively. Perfluorodecalin competitively inhibits the binding of substrates to cytochrome P-450 and decreases the rates of monooxygenase reactions. Perfluorodecalin extrusion from the active center of cytochrome P-450 occurs when an excess of perfluorocarbons non-interacting with cytochrome P-450 is added to microsomes. There is a significant vagueness in the rates of various monooxygenase reactions because of simultaneous induction and inhibition of monooxygenase enzymes after perfluorodecalin administration to rats. The data obtained are consistent with the hypothesis that constitutive forms of cytochrome P-450 are primary receptors for xenobiotic-inducers of phenobarbital-type cytochrome P-450 isoforms.
