Περιγραφή
A hepatic soluble aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), inducible by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, was studied in Wistar rats in connection with substances known to affect drug metabolism or aldehyde dehydrogenase activity, such as phenobarbital (PB), disulfiram (DS), beta-diethylaminoethyl diphenylpropylacetate (SKF 525A) and calcium cyanamide (CC). 3-Methylcholanthrene (MC) was given as a model inducer of ALDH (100 mg/kg, i.p., as a single dose) and the animals were killed after 3 days. Pretreatment with PB (1 g/l drinking water, for 2 weeks) enhanced the inducing effect of MC. On the contrary, pretreatment with DS (100 mg/kg, i.p., daily x 4) reduced by 70% the expected increase in ALDH activity. Neither SKF 525A (25 mg/kg, i.p., daily x 4), nor CC (5 mg/kg, i.p., daily x 4) could affect the action of the inducer. At the above doses, basal ALDH activity was inhibited by DS (30%) and CC (70%), but was not affected at all by PB or SKF 525A. The results were somewhat different when the various effectors tested were administered to animals already treated with MC (20 mg/kg, i.p., daily x 6). In this case, DS did not affect the already induced ALDH activity. On the contrary, CC was still an effective inhibitor. Unexpectedly, post-treatment with SKF 525A further enhanced the initial induction brought about by MC. Our findings show that substances affecting microsomal drug metabolism can interfere with the process of ALDH induction by MC. The additive result of PB pretreatment is probably due to the enhanced accumulation of an active metabolite of MC.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
