Abstract

Abstract We have investigated the effect of experimental malaria infection on rat cytochrome P450-mediated drug metabolism using ethoxyresorufin and metoprolol as probe compounds. Malaria infection caused a significant reduction in total intrinsic clearance of ethoxyresorufin in both low and high parasitaemia malaria compared with control (control 18·7 ± 7·2; low parasitaemia 10·5 ± 4·1; high parasitaemia 4·3 ± 1·4 mL min−1). However, clearance of metoprolol was unchanged in malaria infection compared with control (control 2·7±1·2; malaria 4·0±1·7 mL min−1). The change in clearance of ethoxyresorufin was the result of a decrease in Vmax, with no apparent change in Km. There was no change in either Vmax or Km of metoprolol. These results indicate a possible isozyme-selective effect of experimental malaria.
