Stimulation of liver 5-aminolaevulinate synthetase by drugs and its relevance to drug-induced accumulation of cytochrome P-450. Studies with phenylbutazone and 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine

Abstract: The relevance of the stimulation of 5-aminolaevulinate synthetase to the accumulation of cytochrome P-450 after administration of drugs was examined in rats treated with phenylbutazone and with 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine. 3,5-Diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine alone stimulated 5-aminolaevulinate synthetase without increasing the concentration of cytochrome P-450, whereas phenylbutazone alone increased the microsomal cytochrome P-450 without significantly affecting the activity of the enzyme. … Show more

“…The finding that two inhibitors of heme biosynthesis can enhance the stimulation of ALA-S caused by phenobarbital is compatible with the concept [4][5][6][7]29-321 that when the negative feedback control exercised by heme on ALA-S is diminished, the enzyme becomes more sensitive to stimulation by lipid-soluble drugs. This work also indicates that inhibition of heme bios~thesis can alone lead to a compensatory stimulation of ALA-S ( fig.…”

“…Although relatively small increases of ALAS1 activity are observed when either PB or an inhibitor of heme biosynthesis are given on their own, a marked potentiation of the ALAS1 induction is observed when these two treatments are combined, reflecting the individual contribution of two separate mechanisms (De Matteis & Gibbs, 1972; Maxwell & Meyer, 1976). In addition, drugs such as PB directly activate ALAS1 transcription, independent of their modulatory effects on the free heme pool (Hamilton et al, 1988; Ryan & Ades, 1989).…”

“…The total hepatic concentration of microsomal CYP450 was assessed by measuring its reduced-CO spectra (27). The metal chelatase activity was measured in the mitochondrial fraction by monitoring the incorporation of Co2+ into mesoporphyrin III (12). The 5-aminolevulinic acid dehydrase activity was assayed in the soluble cytosolic fraction by the formation of porphobilinogen, which forms a red-colored compound with p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (19).…”
