3,4,5-Trimethoxyphenylacetaldehyde, an intermediate metabolite of mescaline, was oxidized to 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenylacetic acid by mouse hepatic microsomes. The reaction was NADPH-dependent, and inhibited by SKF 525-A, metyrapone and disulfiram. A P450 isozyme in mouse hepatic microsomes, P450 MUT-2 (CYP2C29), catalyzed the reaction (0.96 nmol/min/nmol P450) in which NADPH and NADPH-cytochrome c...
