    Abstract:
    Effect of pretreatment of rats with FK506((-)-(1R,9S,12S,13R,14S,17R,18E,21S,23S,24R,25S,27R)-17-allyl-1,14- dihydroxy-12-[(E)-2-[(1R,3R,4R)-4-hydroxy-3methoxycyclohexyl]-1- methylvinyl]-23,25-dimethoxy-13,19,21,27-tetramethyl-11,28-dioxa-4- azatricyclo-[22.3.1.0(4.9)]octacos-18-ene-2,3,10,16-tetrone hydrate, CAS 104987-11-3) on microsomal cytochrome P-450 system and oxidations of the administered drug and other model substrates were studied and compared with those of a pharmacologically related drug, ciclosporin (cyclosporin A). Oral treatment of male Sprague-Dawley rats with FK506 (0.4, 2 or 10 mg/kg/d) for 7 days did not decrease microsomal content of total cytochrome P-450 in livers, but rather increased the content in groups with the dose of 0.4 or 10 mg/kg to the levels of 126-130% of the control. Microsomal NADPH-cytochrome c reductase activities were decreased up to 67% of the control with the increasing dose of FK506 and to 62% in a group treated orally with cyclosporin A (25 mg/kg/d for 7 days), although another microsomal electron-transport component, cytochrome b5, was rather increased in all the treated groups. Treatment with FK506 or cyclosporin A did not reduce but slightly increased microsomal activities of aniline hydroxylation, p-nitroanisole O-demethylation and O-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation. Microsomal depropylation of 7-propoxycoumarin, a typical P-450IIIA-substrate, was also not reduced in all dose groups of FK506, while it was decreased by the treatment with 25 mg/kg cyclosporin A.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
