Abstract

The effect of intraperitonelly administered higenamine on the cytochrome P -450, b5, P-nitroanisole-O-demethylase and lipid peroxidation in the rat hepatic microsomes were determined. The following results were obtained ; 1) The intraperitonelly administered higenamine increased contents of rat hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 and b5. 2) The principal role of cytochrome P-450 in mixed function oxidase reactions includes hydroxylation of various drugs, fatty acids, steroids, pesticides and carcinogens. The increased cytochrome P-450 induced by higenamine decreased on the both AAF of N-hydorxylation and Ring-hydroxylation. 3) Activity of P-nitroanisole-O-demethylase in hepatic microsomes with higenamine was decreased accorting to incresed dosage of higenamine. 4) The formation of lipid peroxides was increased according to increased dosage of higenamine.
