Inhibition of BROD and BUP hydroxylase activities in BNF- and PB-pretreated RLM and cDNA-expressed CYP2B1 by ANF, proadifen, and metyrapone

BUP hydroxylase activity was determined by incubating 500 μM BUP, 0.05 mg of microsomal protein, and 1 mM NADPH for 30 min. HBUP formation was quantitated by HPLC. BROD activity was determined by incubating with 20.5 μM benzyloxyresorufin and 1 mM NADPH for 2 min. Resorufin formation was quantitated by spectrofluorometry. IC50 values are the mean ± S.E.
