title: Mechanism-based in vivo inactivation of lauric acid hydroxylases.
abstract: The hepatic cytochrome P-450 isozymes that catalyze omega- and (omega - 1)-hydroxylation of lauric acid are specifically inactivated in vitro but not in vivo by 10-undecynoic acid. The lack of in vivo activity may result from rapid degradation of the inhibitor by beta-oxidation. Strategies for the construction of fatty acid analogues that retain the ability to inactivate fatty acid hydroxylases but are resistant to metabolic degradation have therefore been sought. Fatty acid analogues in which the carboxylic acid group is replaced by a sulfate moiety, or in which two methyl groups are placed vicinal to the carboxylic acid group, have been found to inactivate lauric acid hydroxylases in vitro and in vivo without causing time-dependent inhibition of ethoxycoumarin O-deethylation or N-methyl-p-chloroaniline N-demethylation.
