title: The effect of ellagic acid on xenobiotic metabolism by cytochrome P-450IIE1 and nitrosodimethylamine mutagenicity.
abstract: Ellagic acid (EA) is an inhibitor of the in vitro mutagenicity of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100 using pyrazole-induced rat liver 9000 x g supernatant (S-9). In order to understand this activity, the effect of EA on the metabolic hydroxylation of 4-nitrophenol, a substrate, as is NDMA, for cytochrome P-450IIE1 was studied using pyrazole induced rat S-9 and microsomal protein. It is shown that EA has an inhibitory effect on 4-nitrophenol hydroxylase with both enzyme preparations. This effect on cytochrome P-450IIE1 may be responsible, at least in part, for the inhibition of NDMA mutagenicity by EA.
