In conclusion, this study presents evidence that 3MI is a mechanism-based inhibitor of both CYP2F3 and CYP2F1, which are important enzymes in the bioactivation of pneumotoxicants such as 3MI or 1,1-dichloroethylene or carcinogens such as naphthalene, benzene, and styrene.

It is proposed that metabolism of several structurally-related chemicals by CYP2F isoforms of the cytochromes P450 family results in a cytotoxicity-driven mode of action in organs high in CYP2F; namely, CYP2F2 in nasal and lung tissue in mice and CYP2F4 in nasal tissues in rats.
For coumarin, naphthalene, and styrene, inhibition of toxicity with inhibition of CYP2F2 has been demonstrated.

Whereas CYP2F enzymes are widely regarded as responsible for NP bioactivation, other metabolic enzymes--including CYP1A1 and CYP1A2--produce NP-1,2-oxide in vitro.
