2390114 Bulger WH, Kupfer D: Studies on the formation of methoxychlor-protein adduct in rat and human liver microsomes. Biochem Pharmacol. 1990 Sep 1;40(5):937-45.

Previous studies demonstrated that liver microsomal monooxygenases metabolize the pesticide methoxychlor into phenolic estrogenic derivatives.

Xenobiotica. 2004 Feb;34(2):117-32.

There was a substantial difference in the per cent inhibition of demethylation by MAb anti-CYP2C9 and anti-rat CYP2C (MAb inhibiting all human CYP2C forms) and in altering the enantioselectivity, suggesting that demethylation by combined CYP2C8, 2C18 and 2C19 was significant (20-30%). 4.

The characteristics of the activation of methoxychlor by the hepatic microsomal monooxygenases and its covalent binding to microsomal proteins in human and untreated rat were compared.
