Kinetic analysis of the metabolism of amitriptyline and nortriptyline using liver microsomes from Wistar rats showed that more than one enzyme was involved in each reaction except for monophasic amitriptyline N-demethylation. The V(max) values particularly in the high-affinity sites for E-10-hydroxylation of both drugs were larger than those for Z-10-hydroxylations. Their E- and Z-10-hydroxylase activities in Dark-Agouti rats, which are deficient for CYP2D1, were significantly lower than those in Wistar rats at a lower substrate concentration (5 μM). The strain difference was reduced at a higher substrate concentration (500 μM). A similar but a smaller strain difference was also observed in nortriptyline N-demethylase activity, and a pronounced sex difference (male > female) was observed in N-demethylation of both drugs in Wistar and Dark-Agouti rats. The reactions with the strain difference were inhibited concentration-dependently by sparteine, a substrate of the CYP2D subfamily, and an antibody against a CYP2D isoenzyme. The profiles of these decreased metabolic activities corresponded to that of the lower metabolic activities in Dark-Agouti rats. These results indicated that a cytochrome P450 isozyme in the CYP2D subfamily was involved in E- and Z-10-hydroxylations of amitriptyline and nortriptyline in rat liver microsomes as a major isozyme in a low substrate concentration range. It seems likely that the CYP2D enzyme contributes to nortriptyline N-demethylation.
