The effect of aminop3aine on gluco~ex~enesLs from lactate and other precmsors was studied in perfesed rat liver [i] and isohted mouse hepatocytes [2,3] in phenobarbital-induced and untreated animals. These studies indicated that ghconeogenesls was inhibited by concomitant oxidation (demethylalion) of aminopyrine. This obserwafion was interpreted as showing that gluconeogenesis and aminopyrine oxida~on compete for malate which is used as a percursor for glucose synthesis and, via malate dehydrogeaase (decarboxylating) (EC 1.L1.38), can also pwduce N A D P H utilized for aminopyrin¢ oxidation by the microsomal moaooxygenase system. Thunuan and Scholz [1] showed that, in perfused liveT of slarved rats, ~ e n e s / s from lactate was suppressed by about 20~ in the presence of aminopyrine. This inhibition increased up to 50% in livers of phenobarbital-treated rats. On the other hand, B~mhegyi et aL [2,3] reported about g0~ inhibition of glucon¢ogenesis by aminop3a'ine in isolated mouse hepatocytes. In our experiments with hepatocytes isolated from fed rats we have measured a substantially lower level of glucose if aminopyrine was present in the incubation medium. Under these conditions gluco~ was derived from glycogen, since gluconeogenes/s is very low in Abbreviation: EGTA,ethylene gly¢~ bls(~-anfiaoethylFN, N.N'.N "tetraacetie acid.

hcpatocyces from fed rats. As there is no/nd~athm flint am/nopyrine inhibits glycogenoI3~ we assumed that the product of aminopyrin¢ oxidation may /nteffere with glucose determination. In fact, ~ : found that 4aminoamlipyrlne strongly interfered with the assay for glucose based on glucose oxidase ~ 1.1-3.4), peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) and d;anicidine [4]. Fig. 1 shows that glucose determination by this assay was in~'bited to the same extent by authentic 4-aminoantipyrine and by the product of aminopyrine oxidation by ,n/crosomes added as the n e u ~ perchloric a ~ d extract from an incubation mixture of rat fiver mk:rosonM~ aml an~nopyrine~ The inhibition increased with decreasing glucose/4-aminoaufipyrine ratio in the assay med~ung In this assay system glucose is oxidized by. glucose oxidase to gluconic acid with a stoich/omeU~ fo~aalion of H202, the latter being determ/ned due t~ the f o r t ~ tion of an o r a ~ ¢ peroxid~tion product of d/anis/dine in the presence of peroxidas~L As ah'eady point~l out in the original description of this procedure [4], compounds which compet~ for the hydrogen peroxide formed will thus result in an underesfin~ti~n of glucose. One of such compmmds is 4-aminematipyrine which, in the presence of peroxidas~ reacts with H202 forming a hydraTo- and subsequently an a z o - ~ [5]. However, glucose does not inhibit the assay for 4-aminoanfipyrine, which is carried out in the presence of an express of H202, and the peroxidation prodtu::t is condensed with phenol forming red quinoaimlne [6.7]. On the other hand, it has been ascez'ufined 4-amino~nfipyrine and aminopyfine at I m M concentrations do not interfere in glucose delermie~fion

In agreement with Ref. 2, g l u ~ production from p3~'uvate was inhibited to a lower extent than from lactate. ~ , the degree of inhibition by aminowjrine d~ffered very much whea measored with the t~o methods, being mueh lower wRh the ghw.osc-6-phosphate dchydrogen~e procedure. Glucagon, as ~ s ~ d y increased g l u ~ e production from lactate, bet decreased the formation of 4-aminoantipyrine. The ~atte~ observ~tioa is new and in line with a recent report by B~u~hegyi et al.

In conclu~on, the pres~at paper shows that the lm,g¢ apparent inbi'bition of gluc~3neoo~sis by aminopyrh~ as described by B ~ e s ~ i ct aL [2,3,11], is an artifact due to the interferen~ of the aminopyrine oxidation product. 4-amlnoantlpy~n~ in the glucose assay used by thes~ authors.
