title: In-vitro biotransformation of antipyrine, lignocaine and propranolol in the liver of rats with turpentine-induced inflammation.
abstract: In rats with inflammation induced by turpentine injection, changes in drug disposition occur in-vivo and in the perfused isolated liver. Therefore the biotransformation of a low extraction drug, antipyrine, and of two high extraction drugs, lignocaine and propranolol, has been evaluated in the 9000g supernatant fraction of the liver of turpentine-treated rats. Aminopyrine N-demethylase activity and cytochrome P450 content were also measured. Turpentine treatment significantly reduced the in-vitro breakdown of the three drugs; aminopyrine N-demethylase activity and cytochrome P450 content were also decreased. Similar results were found in the proadifen-treated rats, except that in those, the cytochrome P450 content was slightly increased. The changes in drug disposition seen after turpentine-induced inflammation, could therefore be due in part to a change in hepatic enzymatic activity.
