Unlike the related chemical 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (1,1,2,2-TTCE), which is bioactivated only through an oxidative route, 1,1,1,2-TTCE metabolism is carried on by oxidative and reductive pathways, both dependent on cytochrome P-450. 1,1,1,2-TTCE is also bioactivated by microsomal GSH-transferases from liver and lung.

Carbon tetrachloride at 10-3 mmol/kg was the most active in decreasing cytochrome P-450 content and the overall drug hydroxylation activities in rat liver. 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane was the next most active in decreasing the hepatic drug oxidizing enzymic activities. 3.

Excellent correlations between biotransformation rates and the calculated activation energies (delta Hact) of the cytochrome P450-mediated hydrogen-atom abstractions were obtained for the in vitro biotransformation of six halogenated alkanes (1-fluoro-1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane, 1,1-difluoro-1,2,2-trichloroethane, 1,1,1-trifluro-2,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoro-2-chloroethane, 1,1,1,2,2,-pentafluoroethane, and 2-bromo-2-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane) with both rat and human enzyme preparations: In (rate, rat liver microsomes) = 44.99 - 1.79 (delta Hact), r2 = 0.86; In (rate, human CYP2E1) = 46.99 - 1.77 (delta Hact), r2 = 0.97 (rates are in nmol of product per min per nmol of cytochrome P450 and energies are in kcal/mol).

The turnover numbers for 7-ethoxycoumarin, benzo [a] pyrene, and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane were also in the same range for the two cytochrome P-450 preparations.

Intoxication of male and female mice with a single dose (300 or 600 mg/kg) of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (TTCE) resulted in significant decreases in cytochrome P-450 (to 58-73% of the control) and NADPH-cytochrome (P-450) c-reductase (to 29-35% of the control) in hepatic microsomes.

Intraperitoneal administration of chloramphenicol (100 mg/kg) to phenobarbital-treated rats causes 50% inhibition of liver microsomal 7-ethoxycoumarin and 1,1,2,2 tetrachloroethane metabolism but has no effect on the level of cytochrome P-450 detectable as its carbon monoxide complex or on the NADPH-cytochrome c reductase (EC 1.6.2.4) activity.

Twenty dichloromethyl compounds have been tested as potential mechanism-based inactivators of the major phenobarbital-inducible isozyme of rat liver cytochrome P-450 (PB-B) in a reconstituted system.
In contrast, dichloroacetamides containing an n-hexyl, n-butyl, or methyl substituent caused a significant loss of heme, as did the five non-amides tested: 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane, 1,1-dichloroacetone, methyl dichloroacetate, alpha,alpha-dichlorotoluene, and alpha,alpha-dichloroacetophenone.

All of the compounds tested (methylene chloride, halothane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene and s-tetrachloroethane) induced mitotic gene convertants and recombinants and, to a lesser extent, gene revertants when incubated with log-phase cells of the yeast strain D7.

Using the all-valence electron, semiempirical molecular orbital method, MNDO, properties have been identified and calculated for eight chloroethanes which can serve as indicators of their extent of transformation to alcohols by cytochrome P450 and the subsequent formation of aldehydes by loss of HCl from these alcohols.

Addition of metyrapone, glutathione or sodium dithionite to the incubations decreased the level of irreversible binding, suggesting that the activation of TCE to reactive products is mediated via an oxidative cytochrome P-450 dependent process in the olfactory mucosa.

Chlorinated olefins were formed in vitro from hexachloroethane, pentachloroethane, and 1,1,1,2-tetrachloroethane by phenobarbital-induced rat liver microsomes.
The formation of olefins from these polychlorinated ethanes is apparently due to a cytochrome P-450-mediated vic-bisdechlorination reaction which may involve a free radical intermediate.

This technique was employed to investigate the reductive metabolism of 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane by rat liver microsomes.
These conversions were NADPH-dependent, occurred only under anaerobic conditions, and indicate that chloroethanes with relatively low electron affinities can be reduced slowly by microsomal cytochrome P-450.

Both NADPH oxidation and metabolite production are inhibited by CO, SKF 525A and/or metyrapone The induction of cytochrome P-450 with phenobarbital enhances the binding and metabolism of the chloroalkanes, while the induction of cytochrome P-448 with beta-naphthoflavone does not. 1,1,1-trichloroethane is converted to 2,2,2-trichloroethanol by hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450, while the major metabolites of 1,1,2-trichloroethane and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane from this enzyme system are mono- and dichloroacetate, respectively.
