1 However, the increased rate of metabolism cannot be completely accounted for by the activity of the purified phenobarbital-inducible cytochrome P-450 isozyme 2, even in the presence of cytochrome b5. Phenobarbital cytochrome P450 2B4 Oryctolagus cuniculus
2 The discovery of a second hepatic phenobarbital-inducible cytochrome P-450, isozyme 5, led us to undertake experiments to determine in hepatic and pulmonary preparations the portion of microsomal metabolism of methoxyflurane catalyzed by cytochrome P-450 isozymes 2 and 5. Phenobarbital cytochrome P450 2B4 Oryctolagus cuniculus
3 In summary, we demonstrate that methoxyflurane O-demethylation in lung, phenobarbital-induced liver, and control liver microsomes is catalyzed by cytochrome P-450 isozymes 2 and 5. Phenobarbital cytochrome P450 2B4 Oryctolagus cuniculus
