Permethrin resistance factors on chromosome 1 consisted of a piperonyl butoxide (PB)-suppressible mechanism correlated with increased levels of cytochromes P-450 and b5; on chromosome 2, a PB-suppressible mechanism associated with elevated amounts of cytochrome P-450; on chromosome 3, decreased cuticular penetration, kdr, and increased amounts of P-450 reductase activity; and on chromosome 5, a largely PB-suppressible mechanism correlated with elevated levels of cytochrome P-450 and P-450 reductase activity.

METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: To determine the role of metabolic degradation as a mechanism for acaricide resistance in scabies mites, PBO (piperonyl butoxide), DEF (S,S,S-tributyl phosphorotrithioate) and DEM (diethyl maleate) were first tested for synergistic activity with permethrin in a bioassay of mite killing.
Then, to investigate the relative role of specific metabolic pathways inhibited by these synergists, enzyme assays were developed to measure esterase, glutathione S-transferase (GST) and cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (cytochrome P450) activity in mite extracts.

1 The effects of acute and subacute cannabidiol (CBD) administration on hexobarbitone sleeping time and on some constituents of the hepatic microsomal drug-metabolizing system were assessed in the mouse.2 Acutely administered CBD prolonged sleeping time; but with subacute treatment, tolerance to the effect rapidly developed.3 Brain hexobarbitone concentration upon awakening was unchanged by either acute or subacute CBD treatment, which suggests that neither the prolongation of sleeping time nor the tolerance is the result of a change in sensitivity of the central nervous system to the barbiturate.4 Acute CBD treatment increased the half-time of hexobarbitone in the brain, which returned toward normal with the development of tolerance.5 Acutely, CBD caused a 30% decrease in hepatic cytochrome P-450 level; with tolerance, the cytochrome concentration returned to normal.6 The evidence suggests that the CBD-induced prolongation of barbiturate sleeping time and the tolerance to this effect are the result of changes in the rate of drug metabolism, which are related to changes in the amount of cytochrome P-450.7 The effects of CBD on the hepatic microsomal drug-metabolizing enzyme system are different from those attributed to SKF 525-A and piperonyl butoxide because the cannabinoid does not decrease cytochrome P-450 quantitatively by complex formation, it does not produce a recovery overshoot in the cytochrome concentration and, finally, it does not cause an induction of the hexobarbitone-metabolizing enzymes.

A single injection of cobalt-protoporphyrin (CoPP), which produces a marked and sustained decline in hepatic cytochrome P450 content, reduced the ability of male rat liver microsomes to form catechol estrogens to about 30% of control values within 1 day, as measured by the release of 3H2O from [2-3H] estradiol.
Two days after treatment, the apparent Km of estrogen 2-hydroxylase for estradiol was increased, but other inhibitors of cytochrome P450 function (SKF-525A or piperonyl butoxide) failed to affect the enzyme.

Fischer-344 rats, which are susceptible to APAP nephrotoxicity, have two toxic metabolic pathways involving cytochrome P450-dependent oxidation of APAP to N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI) and P450-independent deacetylation of APAP to p-aminophenol (PAP).
In the non-pretreated rats, the inhibition of APAP oxidation by the MFO inhibitor, piperonyl butoxide, and deacetylation by carboxyesterase inhibitor, bis (p-nitrophenyl) phosphate, did not alter APAP-induced renal lesions.

The concentration-dependent abilities of SKF 525-A, metyrapone (MET), piperonyl butoxide (PB), allyl-isopropylacetamide (AIA) and alpha-naphthoflavone (7,8-benzoflavone; ANF) to inhibit the activities of p-chloro-N-methylaniline-N-demethylase (PCNMA) and aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) in vitro were determined in microsomal and postmitochondrial supernatant (PMS) fractions of homogenates prepared from kidneys and livers of rats and mice.
The differences in sensitivity of renal and hepatic AHH and PCNMA activities to the inhibitors may have been due to organ-specific differences in the affinities of the inhibitors for interaction with the active site (s) on cytochrome P-450.

These studies suggest that the major enzymes involved in the metabolic activation of naphthalene or 2-methylnaphthalene in vitro are the cytochrome P-450 monooxygenases and that cooxidative metabolism by the prostaglandin synthetases appears to play little role in the formation of reactive metabolites in vitro.
Naphthalene- but not 2-methylnaphthalene-induced pulmonary bronchiolar injury is blocked by prior administration of the cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase inhibitor piperonyl butoxide, thus suggesting that metabolism by enzymes other than the P-450 monooxygenase inhibitor piperonyl butoxide, thus suggesting that metabolism by enzymes other than the P-450 monooxygenases may be important in 2-methylnaphthalene-induced lung injury.

Drug metabolism inhibitors such as carbon disulfide, methoxsalen, and piperonyl butoxide prevented or significantly reduced the hepatotoxic effect of eugenol given in combination with BSO.
These results suggest that eugenol is activated by a cytochrome-P-450-dependent metabolic reaction and that the liver injury is caused by inadequate rates of detoxification of the resulting metabolite in mice depleted of hepatic GSH by BSO treatment.

Tebufenpyrad resistance could only be synergized after pre-treatment with the monooxygenase inhibitor piperonyl butoxide (PBO), whereas pyridaben resistance was strongly synergized both by PBO and the esterase inhibitor S,S,S-tributylphosphorotrithioate (DEF).

When 1 (14) C] trichloroethylene was incubated under air with hepatic microsomes and a NADPH-generating system, a radioactive material became irreversibly bound to microsomal proteins; binding was negligible when the NADPH-generating system was omitted; binding was inhibited by carbon monoxide and by piperonyl butoxide; the amount of bound material was greater with microsomes from phenobarbital-pretreated rats and lower with microsomes from CoCl2-pretreated rats than with microsomes from nonpretreated rats.
The reported results are consistent with the view that 1) trichloroethylene is metabolized by cytochrome P-450 into a chemically reactive metabolite which reacts with, and binds to, either proteins or glutathione, 2) binding to proteins produces liver lesions and 3) binding to glutathione decreases the amount of reactive metabolite available for binding to proteins.

As judged by the observation of normal serum GPT, drug metabolism inhibitors such as SKF-525A, piperonyl butoxide, and carbon disulfide prevented the hepatotoxic effect of BHT given in combination with BSO.
These results suggest that BHT is activated by a cytochrome-P-450-dependent metabolic reaction and that the hepatotoxic effect is caused by inadequate rates of detoxification of the reactive metabolite in mice depleted of hepatic GSH by BSO administration.

The role of both glutathione (GSH) and the cytochrome P450 enzyme system (P450) in the mechanism of toxicity of CYN has been previously investigated in in vitro systems.
Conversely, pre-treatment with piperonyl butoxide, a P450 inhibitor, protected mice against CYN toxicity giving a survival rate of 10/10 compared with 4/10 in the control group (p < 0.05 Chi squared) and was protective at doses up to 0.8 mg/kg, suggesting activation of CYN by P450 is of primary importance in the mechanism of action.

The isolated perfused rabbit lung preparation was used to study the acute effects of Pth on airway responsiveness to ACh (10 (-8)-10 (-3) M), histamine (10 (-8)-10 (-3) M) and substance P (10 (-10)-10 (-6) M), pulmonary acetylcholinesterase inhibition and cytochrome P450 (P450) activity, and their modifications with previous administration of Pth (1 mg/kg s.c. daily, 7 days).
This salbutamol effect was transient (5-10 min), suggesting that this bronchodilator triggered additional obstructive mechanisms. (2) Pth increased the water content in lung parenchyma samples, but not in trachea or bronchi, and augmented the respiratory secretions measured through monosaccharide content in bronchoalveolar lavage. (3) The increase in iRL was greater in female animals, probably due to a higher P450 basal activity, and completely blocked by pharmacological inhibition of P450 with piperonyl butoxide (500 mg/kg i.p.). (4) In male guinea pigs a subclinical dose of Pth (10 mg/kg i.p.) induced airway hyperresponsiveness to ACh.
