Co-incubation of liver microsomes with methoxychlor and various P450 isoform-selective inhibitors suggested involvement of several P450s in mono-O-demethylation, including CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19.

However, with [o-3H] mono-O-demethylated methoxychlor, containing a phenolic group, five isoforms (CYP1A2, 2B6, 2D6, 2E1, and 3A4) supported ortho hydroxylation.

Using microsomes from B-lymphoblastoid cells expressing specific P450s, CYP2B6 and CYP1A2 were found to produce substantial levels of 7-HFC whereas CYP2E1 and CYP2C19 produced detectable amounts of this metabolite.
Methoxychlor and S-mephenytoin inhibited expressed CYP2B6 but not CYP1A2 mediated 7-EFC O-deethylation.

Human liver microsomes generated (S)-mono-OH-M (77-87%), suggesting that CYP1A2 and 2A6 display only minor catalytic contribution.

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

Nevertheless, MAb anti-CYP1A2 decreased the formation of R-mono-OH-M from 21-23 to 10-17%, indicating that CYP1A2 exhibits a role in generating the R-enantiomer. 3.

Among the human cDNA-expressed P450s examined, CYP1A2, 2A6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, and 2D6 exhibited mainly O-demethylation, with CYP2C19 being the most catalytically competent.
