Inhibitory and inductive effects of 4- or 5-methyl-2-mercaptobenzimidazole, thyrotoxic and hepatotoxic rubber antioxidants, on several forms of cytochrome P450 in primary cultured rat and human hepatocytes
Effects of 4-methyl-2-mercaptobenzimidazole (4-MeMBI) and 5-methyl-2- mercaptobenzimidazole (5-MeMBI) on cytochrome P450 (CYP) activity were examined in primary cultured rat hepatocytes. Hepatocytes from male Wistar rats were cultured in the presence of 4-MeMBI or 5-MeMBI (0−400 μM), and the activit...
