Effects of phorone (diisopropylidene acetone), a glutathione (GSH) depletor, on hepatic enzymes involved in drug and heme metabolism in rats: evidence that phorone is a potent inducer of heme oxygenase.

Concomitant with the depletion of glutathione content, phorone (250 mg/kg, ip.) produced a marked increase in heme oxygenase activity, biphasic effect on delta-aminolevulinic acid synthetase activity, and slight decreases in cytochrome P-450 content and aminopyrine demethylase activity in the liver of rats. The increase in heme oxygenase activity evoked by phorone was almost completely blocked by pretreatment of rats with actinomycin D and cycloheximide. Phorone was able to produce the changes in these parameters in a dose-dependent manner. Buthionine sulfoximine, a GSH depletor by inhibition of biosynthesis, failed to affect these hepatic parameters.[1]
