Popis: | The aim of this work was to study the action of methotrexate on the cytochrome P-450 hepatic monooxygenases and to follow the evolution of the metabolic processes with time, after oral and intra-peritoneal administration of these drugs to rats. In order to perform this study, we used a new technique the [13C]-aminopyrine breath test (ABT). At the end of the in vivo study, the rats were sacrificed and the cytochrome P-450 concentration as well as microsomal enzymatic activities of aminopyrine N-demethylase, 7-ethoxyresorufin desalkylase, 7-ethoxycoumarin desalkylase, 7-pentoxyresorufin desalkylase were determined. A histological study of the liver was also carried out. Finally, haematological and biochemical parameters were also determined. In this study, 3 series of 6 rats were used: a control group, a group receiving 70 mg/kg of methotrexate by intra-peritoneal route, and a group of rats treated orally with 1 mg/kg of methotrexate every 2 days. For each observation, the variation of the ABT scores and of the cytochrome P-450 amounts as well as the microsomal aminopyrine N-demethylase activity were in good agreement. |
