Abstract

During the metabolism of p-chloroaniline, sulfanilamide, 2-methylindoline, and dapsone, complexes with cytochrome P-450 are formed which absorb maximally at 448, 450 451, and 452 nm, respectively. These complexes are similar to the complexes from amphetamines (456 nm) and SKF 525-A (452 nm) in the conditions for, and rate of their formation, and their inhibition of ethylmorphine N-demethylase activity. Similarly, their formation is mainly a property of phenobarbital-induced cytochrome P-450 and is inhibited by comparable concentrations of metyrapone and 2-O-iodophenoxymethylimidazole. Unlike the complexes from amphetamine and SKF 525-A, those formed from p-chloroaniline, sulfanilamide, 2-methylindoline, and dapsone are unstable in the presence of sodium dithionite.

      Upon enzymatic reduction of the CYP130-nitro analog mixture by the spinach ferredoxin/NADP+-ferredoxin reductase system under strict anaerobic conditions, a slow transition from the resting ferric ligand-free form to a ferric arylamine-bound form was observed (supplemental Fig. S4). In contrast to the liver microsome P450 preparations under similar anaerobic conditions (22–24), no formation of the nitrosoarene intermediate with a spectral feature at 454 nm has been detected. A control experiment, in which the nitro compound was preincubated with spinach ferredoxin/NADP+-ferredoxin reductase and NADPH for 60 min prior to the addition of ferric CYP130, confirmed that the formation of the amine form was due to the action of CYP130.
