Effects of the inhibitor ellipticine on cytochrome P450-reductase and cytochrome P450 (1A) function in hepatic microsomes of flounder (Platichthys flesus)
Authors:Philippe Lemaire  David R. Livingstone
Abstract:The effects of the mammalian inhibitor ellipticine (5,11-dimethyl-[6H]-pyrido[4,3b] carbazole) were examined in a mechanistic study of the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase system of control and β-naphthoflavone (βNF)-induced hepatic microsomes of Platichthys flesus. Ellipticine was indicated to bind to the haem moiety of cytochrome P450s (gave type II binding spectra) and to inhibit the transfer of electrons from both the hydrophobic binding site of cytochrome P450 reductase (P450R) to P450 (inhibited P450R reductase activity) and the hydrophilic binding site of P450R to soluble electron acceptors (inhibited NAD(P)H-cytochrome c reductase activity). No effect was seen on cytochrome b5 reductase activity. Ellipticine inhibition indicated the involvement of (i) P450R (possibly also P450s) in NADPH- but not NADH- dependent hydroxyl radical production, and (ii) electron transfer and P450/P450R interaction in NADPH-dependent cytochrome P450 1A-catalysed monooxygenation (7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase activity and benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) metabolism). Differential effects of ellipticine on cumene hydroperoxide (CHP)-dependent BaP metabolism (P450 peroxidase activity) with CHP concentration indicated the existence of at least two forms of P450 with different substrate affinities for CHP, and different mechanisms of formation for protein adducts and free metabolites. Overall, the studies indicate the primary site of action of ellipticine in P. flesus is binding between Fe3+-P450 and P450R.
