beta-naphthoflavone and Porphyrias

beta-naphthoflavone has been researched along with Porphyrias in 4 studies

beta-Naphthoflavone: A polyaromatic hydrocarbon inducer of P4501A1 and P4501A2 cytochromes. (Proc Soc Exp Biol Med 1994 Dec:207(3):302-308)
beta-naphthoflavone : An extended flavonoid resulting from the formal fusion of a benzene ring with the f side of flavone.

Porphyrias: A diverse group of metabolic diseases characterized by errors in the biosynthetic pathway of HEME in the LIVER, the BONE MARROW, or both. They are classified by the deficiency of specific enzymes, the tissue site of enzyme defect, or the clinical features that include neurological (acute) or cutaneous (skin lesions). Porphyrias can be hereditary or acquired as a result of toxicity to the hepatic or erythropoietic marrow tissues.

"In an effort to determine the role that metabolism by the cytochrome P-450 system plays in the development of hexachlorobenzene (HCB)-induced porphyria, Japanese quail were pretreated with either beta-naphthoflavone (BNF) or phenobarbital (PB) and then treated with HCB."7.67Hexachlorobenzene-induced porphyria in Japanese quail. Effect of pretreatment with phenobarbital or beta-naphthoflavone. ( Bender, RC; Buhler, DR; Carpenter, HM; Henderson, MC; Williams, DE, 1984)
