Abstract

The effect of sulfur-containing benzimidazoles (thiabendazole, 5-hydroxy-thiabendazole, cambendazole) and sulfur-free derivatives (benzimidazole, carbendazim and 5-hydroxycarbendazim) on cytochrome P450 enzymes was investigated in primary cultures of rabbit hepatocytes considered 72 h after plating. Thiabendazole, cambendazole and carbendazim led to a significant dose-dependent increase in both EROD activity and cytochrome P4501A1/2 proteins and mRNA expression. Experiments using actinomycin D strongly suggest that these compounds have a transcriptional control on both CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 genes in primary hepatocytes. Thiabendazole increased both COH activity and P4502A protein levels. We conclude that sulfur is not a prerequisite to the P450 induction potential of benzimidazoles, while 5-hydroxylation leads to inefficient metabolites in terms of inducibility.

Anthelmintics

Anthelmintics or antihelminthics are a group of antiparasitic drugs that expel parasitic worms (helminths) and other internal parasites from the body by either stunning or killing them and without causing significant damage to the host. Discover the latest research on anthelmintics here.
