✦ Synopsis
Administration of 4,4'dipyridyl to rats induces the activities of xenobiotic transferases (phase I1 drug metabolizing enzymes), UDP-glucuronosyltranferase and glutathione-S-transferase, and also the concentration and activity of cytochrome P450 (a phase I drug metabolizing enzyme). 2, P'Dipyridyl, an isomer possessing iron chelation properties, only induces the phase I1 enzymes. Although the magnitude of the phase I1 induction by 2, 2'dipyridyl increases with increasing dosages, the selective induction of only phase I1 activities remains inviolate. Co-administration of 2,2'dipyridyl does not prevent 4,4'dipyridyl from inducing cytochrome P450, suggesting that the iron chelation property is not the factor that precludes 2,2'dipyridyl from coordinately inducing cytochrome P450 with the transferases.
