Our animal experiment was approved by the Animal Investigation Committee, Chiba University, Japan (No. 28-60), and carried out according to the Guidelines of the Animal Investigation Committee, Chiba University. Specific pathogen free (SPF) male Wistar rats (5 weeks of age; Clea Japan, Tokyo, Japan) were housed in a humidity-controlled room maintained at 22–25 °C with a 12 h light-dark cycle. The rats were fed a commercial diet (MF; Clea Japan) and tap water ad libitum. After a five-day acclimation period, one rat was intraperitoneally injected with phenobarbital (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) at the dose of 60 mg/kg body weight. The animal was sacrificed 24 h after the injection by exsanguination under anesthesia. Then, the liver was excised. An approximately 1.0 g portion of the liver was homogenized with fourfold volume of 150 mM KCl, 50 mM Tri–HCl, pH 7.4, under nitrogen atmosphere. The homogenate was separated by centrifugation at 9000 × g for 20 min at 4 °C to obtain the supernatant. The supernatant was used to prepare S9 mix, a metabolic activator. S9 mix consisted of 8 mM MgCl2, 33 mM KCl, 5 mM glucose 6-phosphate, 4 mM NADP, 4 mM NADPH, 100 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.4, and the supernatant at the concentration of 0.1 mL/mL of mixture.

To examine the induction of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, cells were cultured in 12-well plates (353043, BD Falcon; Corning, NY, USA) using irrMEF and EMUKK-05 medium. When the cells reached 80–90% confluence, the following drugs were added to the cells: 20 μM rifampicin (solvent: DMSO, 189–01001, Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemicals, Osaka, Japan) with an induction period of 2 days, 50 μM omeprazole (solvent: DMSO, 158–03491, Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemicals, Osaka, Japan) with an induction period of 1 day and 500 μM phenobarbital (solvent: DMSO, 162–11602, Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemicals, Osaka, Japan) with an induction period of 2 days.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
