The photochemical generation of excited states of O2 by the mild illumination of culture medium containing 15 .mu.M riboflavine results in a typical induction of benzo[a]pyrene-3-mono-oxygenase in cell lines [rat liver ARL cells and mouse hepatoma Hepa-1 cells] derived from liver. The induction of the mono-oxygenase is not due to an excited state of O2 directly activating the inducing mechanism inside the cell, but is due to the oxidation of a component of the culture medium forming a stable inducer. The component oxidized is His. The mild illumination of culture medium containing riboflavine converts a physiological component of the medium which is not normally an inducer of the mono-oxygenase into a compound which is as effective an inducer as the classical inducer. The finding that singlet O2 will oxidize a cell constituent into a powerful inducer is compatible with the hypothesis that excited states of O2 and their oxidation products may play a central role in the induction of cytochrome P-450 and associated enzyme activities by many chemically unrelated inducers.
