Resumen

The interferon inducing agents, poly rI·rC and tilorone, cause a marked depression of hepatic cytochrome P-450-linked monooxygenase systems. Ascorbate synthesis and hepatic monnoxygenase systems are induced by phenobarbital and 3-methylcholanthrene. Poly rI·rC and tilorone suppressed the induction of ascorbate synthesis, P-450 and monooxygenase activity (ethylmorphine N-demethylase and benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase) by phenobarbital. 3-Methylcholanthrene-induced ascorbate synthesis was suppressed by poly rI·rC, but equivocal results were obtained with tilorone. Induction of P-450 by 3-methylcholanthrene was suppressed completely by poly rI·rC or tilorone, but that of benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase was lowered by only 40%, thus demonstrating the selective depressive action of interferon inducing agents on different species of P-450.
