Metabolic changes produced by PDMP in cultured cells, besides a rapid deletion of glucosphingolipids, were accumulation of the precursors (ceramide and sphingosine), loss of protein kinase C, and accumulation of diacylglycerol.
PDMP was found to be oxidized by cytochrome P-450, but this process could be blocked in vivo with piperonyl butoxide or cimetidine.

Studies with the cytochrome P450 inhibitor, piperonyl butoxide, indicated that metabolism of BHT was required for both its acute and chronic effects.
