title: The comparative potency of phenobarbital and five 1,3-propanediol dicarbamates for hepatic cytochrome P450 induction in rats.
abstract: Using a reproducible screening procedure for rat liver cytochrome P450 isoenzyme induction/inhibition, five dicarbamate drugs (meprobamate, mebutamate, carisoprodol, tybamate, and W-554) were compared with sodium phenobarbital and found to be from 25 to 100 times less potent hepatic cytochrome P450 inducers than phenobarbital.
