The present study examined the inhibitory effects of N‐Hydroxy‐N′‐(4‐butyl‐2‐methylphenyl)‐formamidine (HET0016) on the renal metabolism of arachidonic acid by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes. HET0016 exhibited a high degree of selectivity in inhibiting the formation of 20‐hydroxy‐5,8,11,14‐eicosatetraenoic acid (20‐HETE) in rat renal microsomes. The IC 50 value averaged 35±4 n M , whereas the IC 50 value for inhibition of the formation of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids by HET0016 averaged 2800±300 n M . In human renal microsomes, HET0016 potently inhibited the formation of 20‐HETE with an IC 50 value of 8.9±2.7 n M . Higher concentrations of HET0016 also inhibited the CYP2C9, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4‐catalysed substrates oxidation with IC 50 values of 3300, 83,900 and 71,000 n M . The IC 50 value for HET0016 on cyclo‐oxygenase activity was 2300 n M . These results indicate that HET0016 is a potent and selective inhibitor of CYP enzymes responsible for the formation of 20‐HETE in man and rat.
