✦ Synopsis

The effects of tienilic acid [ 2,3-dichloro-4-(2-thienylcarbonyl)phenoxy acetic acid] on drug-metabolizing enzymes in the rat liver and kidneys were studied. Short-term treatment for 2 weeks (450 mg per kg per day) increased the activity of microsomal epoxide hydrolase at least two-fold in both rat liver and kidneys. The effect of tienilic acid on the activity of microsomal epoxide hydrolase in the rat liver correlated with the dose at levels of 20-450 mg per kg per day for 14 days (Y = 0.92). Tienilic acid had only marginal effects on cytochrome-P-4 50-mediated mono-oxygenases. Tienilic acid caused an approximately two-fold increase in glucuronide conjugation of 4-methylumbelliferone in the liver. No increase in the activity of rat hepatic microsomal UDP-glucuronosyltransferase toward 0-aminophenol was detected. According to these results, tienilic acid can be regarded as one of the most specific inducers of microsomal epoxide hydrolase.

## Abstract The microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) and soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) enzymes exist in a variety of cells and tissues, including liver, kidney, and testis. However, very little is known about brain epoxide hydrolases. Here we report the expression, localization, and subcellular dis

## Abstract The carcinogenic effects of 1,3‐butadiene (BD), a chemical widely used in the rubber industry, are thought to be due to its epoxide metabolites. In humans, these epoxides are detoxified predominantly by hydrolysis, a reaction mediated by the microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) enzyme. Th

Glucuronidation of carboxylic acids, primarily catalyzed by hepatic UDPglucuronosyltransferases, is an important phase II metabolic pathway functioning in detoxification. Acyl glucuronides of 2-aryl propionates, however, can form covalently bound protein adducts, which may generate hypersensitive re

We studied the in vitro hydrolysis of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) to salicylic acid (SA) catalysed by microsomal preparations from liver, kidney, small intestine and stomach mucosas and blood serum of adult female and male rats. Hepatic microsomes from male rats had the highest specific activity: 42.
