SummaryThe structural features which determine interaction of safrole and related methylenedioxyphenyl compounds with cytochromes P-450 or P-448, and determine the induction of these two classes of the cytochrome, have been studied.All methylenedioxyphenyl compounds studied interact with both cytochromes P-450 and P-448 eliciting type I spectral changes and it has been found that the allyl 4-substituent is important in these interactions. Methylenedioxyphenyl compounds with an oxidised allyl 4-substituent exhibited higher affinity for cytochrome P-448 while those possessing an intact allyl or methylvinyl group generally showed higher affinity for cytochrome P-450.Compounds possessing intact allyl and methylenedioxyphenyl groups (safrole, ISOSAFROLE (cas 120-58-1) and myristicine) were the most potent inducers of cytochromes P-450 and P-448; compounds containing an intact allyl group only (estragole, allybenzene and eugenol methyl ether) or an oxidized allyl group and an intact methylenedioxyphenyl group (epoxysafrole) were inducers of P-448 only.
