Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Analysis with rat liver microsomes showed that the enzyme responsible for the dechlorination of 1,2-dichloropropane needs O2 and  NADPH.  Pheno-

barbital and benzpyrene can inducethis enzyme but not methylcholanthrene

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Analysis with rat liver microsomes showed that the enzyme responsible for the dechlorination of 1,2-dichloropropane needs O2 and NADPH. Phenobarbital and benzpyrene can induce this enzyme but not methylcholanthrene.
Executive summary:

The enzymatic dechlorination of a series of chloroethanes and chloropropanes was investigated. It was found that these materials were dechlorinated enzymatically by an enzyme system located in hepatic microsomes. This system requires NADPH and oxy­gen, and is inducible by phenobarbital and benzpyrene, but not by methylcholanthrene. The pH optimum of this system was found to be 8.2. Evidence is presented that a factor is present in the 105,000 g supernatant which is necessary for optimum activity. This supernatant factor is not inducible. The dechlorination varied depending on the extent of chlorination of the ethane or propane.

Analysis with rat liver microsomes showed that the enzyme responsible for the dechlorination of 1,2-dichloropropane needs O2 and NADPH. Phenobarbital and benzpyrene can induce this enzyme but not methylcholanthrene.
