Effects of platinum and palladium salts on parameters of drug metabolism in rat liver

Journal Article · · J. Toxicol. Environ. Health; (United States)
The effects of various salts of platinum or palladium were determined on the parameters of the microsomal mixed-function oxidase system from rat liver. The intraperitoneal injection of PtCl/sub 4/ or Pd(NO/sub 3/)/sub 2/ increased the hexobarbital-induced sleeping time in vivo and generally decreased the aminopyrine demethylase and the content of cytochrome P-450 in isolated hepatic microsomes. The dietary administration of various salts of platinum or palladium for 1 wk generally decreased or had no effect on the parameters of drug metabolism by isolated microsomes and after 4 or more wk generally had no effect on, or increased, the parameters. The addition of 0.15 to 0.2 mM PtCl/sub 4/ or 0.2 to 0.3 mM Pd(NO/sub 3/)/sub 2/ to the incubation medium (containing 5 mM MgCl/sub 2/) inhibited the aminopyrine demethylase of isolated hepatic microsomes by 50 percent.
