Popis: The effects of ethynodiol diacetate norethindtone and norethynodrel on the hepatic microsomal drug metabolizing enzyme system of rat were studied. 10 or 50 mg norethynodren/kg or 50 mg norethindrone/kg markedly increased the duration of pentobarital-induced sleep. When the rats were pretreated with 10 or 50 ethynodiol diacetate/kg or 10 mg norethindrone/kg the duration of pentobarbital-induced sleep was not altered. These steroids had no effect on sodium barbital induced sleep which suggested an inhibitory action of the metabolism of pentobarbital. The steroids markedly inhibited the N-dimethylation of aminopyrine the p-hydroxylation of aniline and the side-chain oxidation of pentobarbital during in vitro incubations. Spectral studies revealed that the 3 progestins are Type 1 substrates with an absorption maximum at 390 mM and a minimum at 424 mM. Chronic pretreatment did not cause a change in the amount of microsomal protein/gm liver the concentration of cytochrom P-450 the rate of reduction of P-450 by P-450 reductase or on the duration of pentobarbital-induced sleep. However a significant decrease in the rate of daily body weight gain in rats pretreated with the synthetic progestins was seen (p less than .01).
