Metabolism of nitrosamines was studied in a reconstituted monooxygenase system composed of cytochromeP-450 isozymes purified from liver microsomes of ethanol- and phenobarbital-treated rats. The ethanol-induced isozyme (P-450et) was efficient in catalyzing the demethylation ofN-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), with aKmof 2.4 mmandVmaxof 7.2 nmol min−1nmolP-450−1, but less active withN-nitrosomethylbenzylamine andN-nitrosomethylaniline. The phenobarbital-induced form (P-450b) was ineffective in NDMA metabolism but was active in catalyzing the demethylation ofN-nitrosomethylaniline, with an estimatedKmof 0.08 mmand aVmaxof 7.2 nmol min−1nmol−1.P-450etalso catalyzed the denitrosation of NDMA with aKmof 13.6 mmand aVmaxof 1.36 nmol min−1nmol−1. With control liver microsomes, multipleKmvalues were observed for the demethylation and denitrosation of NDMA. Involvement of superoxide radicals in the metabolism of NDMA was suggested by the action of superoxide dismutase, which inhibited the denitrosation by 43 to 73% and the demethylation by 13 to 22% in different monooxygenase systems. TheP-450et-dependent NDMA demethylation was strongly inhibited by 2-phenylethylamine and 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole; these compounds were previously believed not to be inhibitors ofP-450-dependent reactions but were found to inhibit microsomal NDMA demethylase. The present results establish the role ofP-450 in nitrosamine metabolism and help to clarify some of the previous confusion in this area of research.
