The effects of trimethadione (TMO) and its metabolite, dimethadione (DMO), on human liver microsomal debrisoquine 4-hydroxylase (cytochrome P-450db1) activity were studied. Inhibition curves showed that there is no significant decrease in the activity of debrisoquine 4-hydroxylase by TMO or DMO (0.1μM to 10mM) . These data suggest that debrisoquine 4-hydroxylase in human liver is not responsible for N-demethylation of TMO, nor are TMO or DMO bound to its active site.
