↵2-a The extent of competitive inhibition was determined by incubation of microsomes with inhibitor for 5 min at 37°C in the absence of NADPH. The control EROD activities (in the absence of inhibitor) for the experiments with (−) αMB, (+) αMB, and (±) αMB were 81.2 ± 12.7, 76.0 ± 6.9, and 74.0 ± 13.4 pmol/min/nmol of P450, respectively. All values are the mean ± SD of independent experiments performed in duplicate, using liver microsomes prepared from four individual animals (N = 4).
