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
Microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) is inducible by a number of xenobiotics. Induction of mEH by certain chemopreventive agents may implicate the protective effect. In contrast, many of carcinogenic agents also induce the enzyme. The hepatotoxicity and mEH expression by methylthiazoles, which are inc
