TheN-demethylation ofN,N-dimethyl-p-nitrophenol carbamate and theO-demethylation ofp-nitroanisole by the microsomes from housefly abdomens were studied.Demethylation activity of male flies rises to a maximum at 4 days after emergence, while the maximum activity of females is not realized until 7–9 days after emergence.Homogenization with a teflon pestle is more effective than a blender, and 0.20 M potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.8) was found to be superior to all other media tested for the preparation of the microsomes. It was apparent that the ionic strength of the preparative medium is more important than either molarity or pH for obtaining microsomes of maximumN- andO-demethylating activity. During the subsequent incubation, 0.5 to 1.0% bovine serum albumin is required for maximum activity.The pH optimum for bothO- andN-demethylation is between 7.7 and 8.1 with added NADPH or with the generating system, and both reactions show the greatest activity at 30–33°. The apparentKmfor pNA is 9.0 ± 0.4 × 10−5M and that for DpNC is 4.0 ± 1.6 × 10−4M.
