Role of rat cytochrome P-450 2E1(P-450 2E 1) in the metabolism of chlorzoxazone was examined by using several approaches' (1) selective inhibiton of catalytic activity in rat liver microsomes by diethyldithiocarbamate, (2) correlation of dimethylnitrosomine N-demethylation with chlorzoxazone 6-hydroxylation, and (3) immunoinhibition of catalytic activity with rabbit anti-rat P-450. The results indicated that P-450 2E1 is responsible for the metabolism of chlorzoxazone.
