본 연구에서는 액체식이로 알코올을 열량의 35%로 6주간 섭취시킨 흰주의 간조직내 지질과산화물과 glutathione 이용효소계의 활성도 및 cytochrome P-450에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고 아울러 간암의 발암원으로 알려진 2-AAF를 투여하여 이들의 상호효과를 조사한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 체중, 간무게, 그리고 체중에 대한 간무게의 알코올에 대한 효과는 유의적인 차이를 보여 체중은 알코올에 대한 효과는 유의적인 차이를 보여 체중은 알코올 섭취군이 유의적으로 감소하였고 간무게 및 체중에 대한 간무게는 알코올군의 유의적으로 증가하였다. 2. Microsome의 지질과산화물 함량 및 cytosol의 glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase 활성도는 알코올과 2-AAF 투여시 모두 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으나, cytosol의 glutathione S-transferase 활성도는 알코올과 2-AAF에 의해서 모두 유의적으로 증가하였고 알코올 섭추와 함께 투여시 GST 활성도가 가장 많이 증가하였다. 3. Microsome의 cytochrome P-450 및 cytochrome b5 함량에 대한 알코올 효과는 cytochrome P-450 함량을 증가시키는 경향이 있고 cytochrome b5는 유의적인 증가를 보여 주었으며 2-AAF 투여 역시 cytochrome P-450의 유의적인 증가를 유도하였다. 따라서 알코올 섭취와 2-AAF 함께 투여 시 cytochrome P-450의 함량이 대조군의 약 2.2배 정도 증가하였으며 cytochrome b5 함량이 1.7배로 높이 증가하였다. 이는 2-AAF가 cytochrome P-450을 유도하여 자신의 대사를 촉진시키며 알코올의 섭취 또한 2-AAF의 hydroxylation을 증가시킬 수 있는 것으로 생각된다. 이상의 결과에서 과량의 알코올을 만성적으로 섭취시 간조직내의 microsome의 MFO system에 영향을 미쳐서 발암물질의 생체 활성화를 촉진시킬 수 있고 또한 GST의 활성도를 증가시키므로 어느 정도 발암과정에 영향을 미치는 것으로 생각된다.

This study was done to investigate effects of ${\gamma}$-irradiated pork feeding on the formation of glutathione S-transferase placental form positive (GST-P$^{+}$) foci, lipid peroxidation, cytochrome P450 system and microsomal glucose 6-phosphatase activity in diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-initiated rat hepatocarcinogenesis. Weaning Sprague-Dawley male rats were fed the diet containing ${\gamma}$-irradiated ground pork at the dose of 0, 3, 10, 30 kGy as a 20％ of protein source for 8 weeks. One week after feeding, rats were intraperitoneally injected twice with a dose of DEN (50 mg/kg BW). As a promote.,0.05％phenobarbital was fed in drinking water from one week after DEN treatment until the end of experiment. At the end of 8th week, rats were sacrificed and hepatic GST-P$^{+}$ foci, microsomal malondialdehyde (MDA) and conjugated diene contents were determined. In addition, cytochrome P450 content and the activities of NADPH cytochrome P450 reductase and glucose 6-phosphatase were also measured. There was no significant effect by gamma irradiation on microsomal MDA content, conjugated diene, cytochrome P450 content and activities of NADPH cytochrome P450 reductase and glucose 6-phosphatase. However with DEN treatment, microsomal MDA content showed a increasing tendency. Cytochrome P450 content was also significantly increased while microsomal glucose 6-phophatase activity was significantly decreased with DEN treatment. However the activity of NADPH cytochrome P450 reductase was not affected. An interesting finding in this study was that the number and area of hepatic GST-P$^{+}$ foci of rats fed gamma irradiated pork were tended to be decreased by high dose of irradiation, but were not significantly different. These results might imply that the consumption of low dose of gamma irradiated pork does not affect the formation of hepatic GST-P$^{+}$ foci and lipid peroxide and membrane stability.ability.

Procarbamate계 살충제인 benfuracarb의 산화효소계에 의한 활성화 과정과 이 과정을 통하여 생성되는 독성 대사물의 전환 정도를 확인하고자 수행되었다. Acetylcholinesterase(AChE) 에 대한 henfuracarb의 이 분자속도저해상수$(k_i)$가 $1.1\times10^3\;M^{-1}\;min^{-1}$로 매우 낮은 저해력을 보인 바, 이 약제가 체내에서 독성을 발현하기 위해서는 활성화 과정이 필수적임을 가정할 수 있었다. Benfuracarb의 활성화 과정에 관여하는 cytochrome $P_{450}$의 역할을 in vitro 에서 관찰하기 위하여 AChE/MFO coupling system을 사용하였다. AChE/MFO coupling system에서 AChE에 대한 저해력은 NADPH가 처리된 oxidase system이 NADPH 가 결핍된 대조구에 비하여 약 10배정도 증가하였으며, oxidase+PBO system 에서는 약간의 저해력 감소 경향이 관찰되었다. 생쥐에 henfuracarb을 처리한 후 brain AChE 활성을 조사해 본 결과 henfuracarb만 처리한 benfuracarb 처리구에서의 $I_{50}$은 22.7mg $kg^{-1}$이었으며, PBO를 전처리 한 후 henfuracarb을 처리한 benfuracarb+PBO 처리구에서는 $I_{50}$이 >100mg $kg^{-1}$으로 저해정도가 급격히 경감되어 benfuracarb의 활성화 과정에 cytochrome $P_{450}$이 관련되어 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. Microsomal oxidase system 을 이용하여 henfuracarb이 독성 대사물인 carbofuran으로 전환되는 정도를 관찰하였다. Oxidase system 에서는 처리된 benfuracarb의 58.0%가 carbofuran으로 전환되었지만, oxidase+PBO system에서 1.7%만 생성되어 benfuracarb의 활성화과정에 산화효소인 cytochrome $P_{450}$의 역할이 중요함을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 benfuracarb의 독성 발현에 관여하는 주된 독성 대사물은 carbofuran이며, 이 활성화 과정 에 cytochrome $P_{450}$이 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 확인되었다.

The enzymatic properties for NADPH-P450 reductase domain of a fusion protein between human cytochrome P450 1A1 and rat NADPH-P450 reductase expressed in Escherichia coli were investigated. The fusion plasmid pCW/1A1OR-expressed E. coli membrane showed high NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity ($830.1\pm 85.8 nmol\cdot min^{-1}\cdot mg protein^{-1}$), while pCW control vector and P 450 1A1 expression vector pCW/1A1 showed relatively quite low activity ($4.35\pm 0.49, 3.27\pm 0.50 nmol\cdot min^{-1}\cdot mg protein^{-1}$, respectively). The kinetic curves for NADPH-cytochrome c reductase followed typical Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The $K_{max}$ and $V_{max}$ for NADPH-dependent reductase activity were $8.24\pm 2.61\mu $and $817.9\pm 60.8 nmol\cdot min^{-1}\cdot mg protein^{-1}$, respectively, whereas those for cytochrome c-dependent reductase activity were $19.97\pm 2.86\mu M$ and $1303.5\pm 67.1 nmol\cdot min^{-1}\cdot mg protein^{-1}$. The reductase activities were also compared with those of rat, porcine and human liver microsomes. The activity of pCW/ 1A1OR-expressed E. coli membrane was 15.2-fold higher than that of rat liver microsome. Treatment with benzo(a)pyrene, 7-ethoxyresorufin and $\alpha$-naphthofiavone which are known as specific substrates or inhibitor for human P450 1A1 increased NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activity of fusion protein in E. coli membrane dose-dependently. These results demonstrate that the membrane topology of fused enzyme may be important for activity of its NADPH-P450 reductase domain.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of 2-AAF injection time on hepatic lipid peroxide metabolism and cytochrome P450 content in Sprague-Dawley rats fed diets containing high amounts of vegetable oils or animal fats(15%, w/w). Fifty mg of 2-AAF/kg of body weight/day was injected in PEG 300 intraperitonially for 3 consecutive days after 4 or 8 weeks to rats fed corn oil(CO) or lard(LA) diet. The contents of lipid peroxide and cytochrome P450, and the activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutathione peroxidase(GSH-peroxidase) and glutathione S-transferase(GSH-S-transferase) were determined in hepatic microsomal or cytosolic fraction. Microsomal thiobarbituric acid reactive substances(TBARS) and cytochrome P450 contents increased in Co group injected 2-AAF after 4weeks. Cytosolic SOD activity increased in CO group injected 2-AAF after 4 weeks and in LA group injected 2-AAF after 4 or 8 weeks. Cytosolic GSH-S-transferase activity increased in LA group compared to CO group without 2-AAF injection. GSH-S-transferase activity increased in CO group injected 2-AAF after 4 or 8 weeks and in LA group injected 2-AAF after 4 weeks. Therefore, it may be suggested that 2-AAF injection increase the contents of lipid peroxide or cytochrome P450, and detoxifying enzyme activities in rats fed CO diet for short period and in rats fed LA diet for longer period.

Inductive effects of cytochrome P450 2B1 by $\alpha$- and $\beta$-ionone were characterized in individual liver lobes of male Sprague Dawley rats. When rats were administered ionones orally at 100, 300, and 600 mg/kg for 24 hr, cytochrome P450 2B1 was induced dose-dependently in liver S-9 fractions as measured by P450 2B-specific monooxygenases and Western immunoblotting. The activity of P450 1A- and P450 2B-specific monooxygenases was differentially expressed in each lobe of normal liver. In addition, the monooxygenase activity was induced by $\alpha$- and $\beta$-ionone with different potency in each lobe of the liver. Our present results indicate that the different induction of P450s by $\alpha$- and $\beta$-ionone in each lobe may explain different susceptibilities of rat liver lobes to certain hepatotoxicants which require metabolic activation for their toxicity and that $\alpha$- and $\beta$-ionone may be useful model inducers of P450 2B1 in studying the toxic mechanism of certain toxicants which may require the metabolic activation by P450.

Cytochrome P450 3As such as 3A4 and 3A5 metabolize a wide range of pharmaceutical compounds. The vectors for the expression of fusion protein containing an N-terminal human P450 3A4 or P450 3A5 sequences and a C-terminal rat NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase moiety were constructed. These plasmids were used to express the fusion protein in Escherichia coli DH5$\alpha$ cells. High levels of expression were achieved (100~200 nmol/liter) and the expressed fusion protein in E. coli membranes were catalytically active for nifedipine oxidation, a typical enzymatic activity of P450 3A4. The NADPH-P450 reductase activities of these fusion protein were also determined by measuring reduction of cytochrome c. To fine a specific Inhibitor of P450 3A4 from naturally occurring chemicals, a series of isothiocyanate compounds were evaluated for the inhibitory activity of P450 using the fusion proteins in E. coli membranes. Of the five isothiocyanates (phenethyl isothiocyanate, phenyl isothiocyanate, benzol isothiocyanate, benzoyl isothiocyanate and cyclohexyl isothiocyanate) tested, benzoyl isothiocyanate showed a strong inhibition of P450 3A4 with an $IC_{50}$value of 2.8 $\mu\textrm{M}$. Our results indicate that the self-sufficient fusion protein will be very useful tool to study the drug metabolism and benzyl isothiocyanate may be valuable for characterizing the enzymatic properties of P450 3A4.

Objectives : The mechanisms for korean traditional medicine-drug interaction has not been well reviewed in spite that the chance for co-administration with western drugs or diet supplements has been increased. Especially, it is well known that various cytochrome P450s play a major role in drug-drug interaction. Of course, Korean traditional medicines is not excluded in a view of metabolism or biotransformation by cytochrome P450. This article was focused on reviewing the possible roles of cytochrome P450 in Korean traditional medicine-drug interaction, Also, the directions for further studies were suggested in terms of Korean traditional medicine-drug interaction. Methods : New studies for korean traditional medicine-drug interaction were reviewed and summarized in terms of cytochrome P450 activities by various Korean traditional medicines and western drugs. Results and Conclusions : Even if a few studies related to Korean traditional medicine-drug interactions was carried out, almost no studies for Korean traditional medicine-drug interactions has been found in a view of cytochrome P450. It was suggested that Korean traditional medicines and their decoction should be analyzed that how they effects on cytochrome P450, expecially CYP 1, 2, 3 families and how they interact with western drugs.
