Rifampicin induces cytochrome P-450 3c, progesterone 16 alpha- and 6 beta-hydroxylation, 17 beta-estradiol 2-hydroxylation, benzo[a] pyrene hydroxylation, and erythromycin N-demethylation in rabbit liver microsomes. Kinetic analysis of the 6 beta-hydroxylation of progesterone as catalyzed by liver microsomes prepared from rifampicin-treated B/J rabbits exhibits a curvilinear double-reciprocal plot, suggestive of substrate activation. Further experimentation demonstrated that alpha-naphthoflavone could augment the catalytic efficiency [Vmax/Km] observed for the 16 alpha- and 6 beta-hydroxylation of progesterone and the 2-hydroxylation of 17 beta-estradiol, whereas erythromycin N-demethylase activity was partially inhibited. Allosteric activation of these steroid hydroxylases by alpha-naphthoflavone is also found for human liver microsomes, indicating that the activation of these enzymes is conserved in man and rabbit.
