Cytochrome P450 102 (CYP102 or Cytochrome P450(BM-3)) is induced in Bacillus megaterium by barbiturates, perioxisome proliferators, estrogen, and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs. We have previously demonstrated that a CYP102 construct (BMC 143) coupled with a luciferase reporter gene can be used to identify the inducers of CYP102. We now describe the effect of added phytochemicals on the induction of CYP102 by phenobarbital (PB) in B. megaterium. The isoflavones genistein, biochanin A, coumestrol, and equol, the green tea flavanoid epicatechin, and the fungal toxin zearalenone inhibit the induction of CYP102 by PB in a dose-dependent manner. However, the isoflavone daidzein, the phytoalexin glyceollin, and catechin, an epimer of epicatechin, failed to exhibit a similar inhibitory effect on PB-mediated CYP102 induction.
