Abstrakt: Optical difference spectroscopy was used to identify and quantify human adrenal microsomal and mitochondrial cytochrome P450 enzyme interactions with the histamine H[sub 3] receptor antagonists thioperamide, clobenpropit and ciproxifan. Addition of these structurally diverse imidazole H[sub 3] receptor antagonists to cytochrome-P450-containing human adrenal microsomal and mitochondrial preparations resulted in concentration-dependent type II optical difference spectra. Respective spectral dissociation constants (K[sub S] ) for the drug interactions with human adrenal microsomal and mitochondrial cytochrome P450 were 1.5 and 1.6 μmol/l for thioperamide, 3.1 and 0.28 μmol/l for clobenpropit and 0.10 and 0.11 μmol/l for ciproxifan. The three compounds demonstrated a similar activity profile in cytochrome-P450-containing bovine adrenal microsomal and mitochondrial preparations. Findings indicate direct coordination of these imidazole-containing H[sub 3] receptor antagonists with the heme moiety of human adrenal cytochrome P450 isozymes.Copyright © 2002 S.
