SKF 525-A was shown to decrease hepatic glycogen levels and inhibit microsomal metabolism of hexobarbital, aminopyrine, and codeine for periods up to 24 hours. Chemical and enzymic assays show that SKF 525-A is strongly bound to hepatic microsomes and is not removed by dialysis or washing of these particulates against or with 1.15% KCl or soluble fraction from normal liver. This is in contrast to results obtained with another microsomal enzyme inhibitor, iproniazid. Iproniazid does not seem to be strongly bound to microsomes and its inhibition of microsomal enzymes is reversed by dialysis or washing of microsomes. The concentration of SKF 525-A in liver from animals treated with this compound declines rapidly between 1 and 12 hours after its administration, yet the amount of enzyme inhibition during this period remains essentially unchanged. Indirect evidence indicates that a metabolite of SKF 525-A may be involved in inhibition of microsomal reactions.
