Presence of hexobarbital in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes maintains cytochrome P-450 levels and drug metabolizing enzyme activities.

Addition of hexobarbital (1 mM) to the culture medium of rat hepatocytes protected against the rapid decline in the level of cytochrome P-450 and the activities of various drug metabolizing enzymes. While the hepatocytes cultured for 72 hr without hexobarbital had only 30% of their original level of cytochrome P-450, the cells maintained with hexobarbital had 75% of the initial level of the hemoprotein. After 72 hr in culture, the activities of aminopyrine N-demethylase and biphenyl 4-hydroxylase were 22-24% of the original rate for the nontreated cells and 73-78% for the hexobarbital treated cells. The activities of 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase and aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase in the cultures of treated cells were even higher than those of the freshly isolated hepatocytes. Additions of other substrates of hepatic mixed function oxidase to the culture medium did not protect against the loss of cytochrome P-450 and enzyme activities.
