Abstract

The 1:1 stoichiometry observed in previous studies between the stimulation of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase activity and ethylmorphine N-demethylase would imply that the stimulation of reduction is the rate-limiting process in the N-demethylation. In the present study, we have found that double reciprocal plots of the N-demethylase activity of hepatic microsomes from male and female rats is linear for ethylmorphine concentrations from 2.5 μM to 2mM. Kinetic analysis suggests that these linear plots are not compatible with the stimulation of the reductase being the rate-limiting process.
