Abstract In the preceding communication (I), we summarized our studies on the metabolism in vivo of dioxane which identified p-dioxane-2-one to be the major urinary metabolite. It is well documented that the activity of mixed-function oxidases (MFO) metabolizing foreign compounds can be modulated by various inducers, repressors and inhibitors (2-4). In order to investigate the involvement of MFO in the metabolism in vivo of dioxane, the effect of several such agents on the excretion of E-dioxane-2-one was studied. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (95-130 g) were used throughout. Three typical inducers of MFO were employed: phenobarbital (PB), the polychlorinated biphenyls, Aroclor 1254 (PCB) (Monsanto Chemical Co.), and 3-methylcholanthrene (MC). PB was dissolved in 0. 9% saline and administered i.p. at a dose of 80 mg/kg daily for 4 consecutive days prior to dioxane administration. PCB and MC were dissolved in corn oil; PCB was given at a single dose of 500 mg/kg 4 days prior to dioxane administration and MC at 40 mg/kg 24 hr prior to dioxane administration. Control rats received equivalent amounts of saline or corn oil. To repress the synthesis of cytochrome P-450 (5), cobaltous chloride (60 mg/kg) was injected s. c. 24 hr prior to dioxane administration. Dioxane (3 g/kg) was given i. p. and urine samples were collected at 8- or 12-hr intervals andtreated as previously (1). 2,4-Dichloro-6-phenylphenoxy ethylamine (DPEA), a potent, long-acting inhibitor of MFO (6, 7) (gift of Dr. R. E. McMahon. Eli Lilly Co. ), was dissolved in saline and given at the dose of 15. 9 mglkg 30 min prior to dioxane administration and 8, 16 and 24 hr thereafter. The amount of p-dioxane-2-one present in urine was determined by analytical gas chromatography using purified synthetic reference compound as standard.
