## Abstract Bufuralol (BF), a nonselective Ξ²βadrenoceptor blocking agent, has a chiral center in its molecule, yielding the enantiomers 1β²__R__βBF and 1β²__S__βBF. Ξ²βAdrenoceptor blocking potency is much higher in 1β²__S__βBF than in 1β²__R__βBF. One of the metabolic pathways of BF is 1β³βhydroxylation
## Abstract A new form of cytochrome Pβ450 was partially purified from hepatic microsomes of neonatally imprinted rats (adult male and adult male castrated at four weeks of age). This new form of cytochrome Pβ450 appears to have an apparent molecular weight of approximately 50,000 daltons as judged
In two cases on p. 707, the word "potentially" should have been removed. The sentences should read: "CYP450, another heme-containing protein, is one of the most versatile enzymes in nature and could efficiently catalyze hundreds of different substrates through a variety of difficult biotransformatio
