Drug Metab Dispos. 2005 Jan;33(1):157-64. Epub 2004 Oct 14.

When reconstituted with CPR, cytochrome b (5), and lipid, purified CYP2C19 and CYP2C9 catalyzed methoxychlor-O-demethylation.

The present study was under taken to demonstrate the effect of some commonly used insecticides on the activity of cytochrome P450 system including cytochrome b5, aryl hydrocarbon [benzo (a) pyrene] hydroxylase (AHH), N-nirosodimethylamine N-demethylase I [NDMA-dI] and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase as phase I of drug oxidation.
In addition, the activity of glutathione S-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GR), and the level of glutathione (GSH) were determined in the liver of male mice after oral administration of sumithion, dursban, chlordane, methoxychlor, heptachlor epoxide, and lindane as single (24h) or as repeated doses for six consecutive days.
