The effects of well-known inducers and an inhibitor of hepatic microsomal drug-metabolizing enzymes on the PCA-induced decreases in brain levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and tryptophan hydroxylase activity and the half-life of PCA in brain were examined.
All of these modified the half-life of PCA in a predictable manner: 3-methylcholanthrene and, to a much lesser extent, phenobarbital decreased the half-life of PCA while piperonyl butoxide markedly increased it.
