Abstract: Microsomal fractions isolated from rat corpus striatum catalyze the oxidation of thiobenzamide to the sulfoxide. The rate of thiobenzamide sulfoxidation is 6.9 ± 4.8 nmol (min)−1 (mg microsomal protein)−1. The reaction is inhibited by an excess of sulfur‐and nitrogen‐containing substrates for the microsomal flavin‐containing monooxygenase. These inhibitors of thiobenzamide sulfoxidation include methimazole, cysteamine, and trimethylamine. Enzyme activity is also destroyed by treatment of the microsomal preparation at 60± for 1 min. In parallel experiments, rat liver microsomes exhibit similar inhibition characteristics. The data indicate the presence in corpus striatum of a microsomal monooxygenase with catalytic properties of the hepatic microsomal flavin‐containing monooxygenase.
