Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons cause hepatic porphyria in iron-loaded C57BL/10 mice: comparison of uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase inhibition with induction of alkoxyphenoxazone dealkylations.
    Biochemical and biophysical research communications, 1987, Jul-15, Volume: 146, Issue:1

    Multiple doses of beta-naphthoflavone to iron-loaded C57BL/10ScSn mice for 6 weeks caused inhibition of hepatic uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase and a porphyria indistinguishable from that previously only reported for polyhalogenated aromatic chemicals. beta-Naphthoflavone and other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon inducers of cytochrome P1-450-mediated ethoxyphenoxazone deethylation (ethoxyresorufin deethylase), benzo[a]pyrene, benz[a]anthracene, dibenz[ah]anthracene, 3-methylcholanthrene and alpha-naphthoflavone, also gave porphyria when fed. Isosafrole was inactive but by both methods phenobarbital produced a small but significant inhibition of the decarboxylase. The results demonstrate a toxic action of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which probably does not involve reactive metabolites.
