Abstract

The induction of cytochrome P-450 in cultured chick embryo hepatocytes was studied using two structurally unrelated compounds, 2-allyl-2-isopropylacetamide and phenobarbital. Pulse-labeling of these cells showed enhanced denovo synthesis of cytochrome P-450. The cytochrome induced by 2-allyl-2-isopropylacetamide, as well as the one induced by phenobarbital, reacted immunologically with antibodies raised against the major hepatic phenobarbital-induced isozyme. Additional form of cytochrome P-450 is induced exclusively by phenobarbital. These results clearly demonstrate that these two drugs induce at least one form of cytochrome P-450 in common.
