Inhibitors of cytochrome P-450 augment fever induced by interleukin-1 beta

Metabolites of cytochrome P-450 are produced in cells when arachidonic acid cascade is activated. Fever genesis depends largely on the cyclooxygenase branch of arachidonic acid cascade, which is caused by many stimuli, such as interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, and interferon-alpha. To assess the significance of cytochrome P-450 branch in fever, murine recombinant IL-1 beta was bilaterally microinjected (1 ng/microliter) into the medial preoptic area and anterior hypothalamus in conscious rats treated 60 min previously with or without the cytochrome P-450 inhibitor econazole (15 mg/kg im). The IL-1 beta-induced rise in colonic temperature was enhanced after the plateau phase of fever (from 240 min after IL-1 beta) in econazole-pretreated rats (P < 0.001). Another cytochrome P-450 inhibitor, clotrimazole (15 mg/kg im), also enhanced IL-1 beta-induced fever from 160 min after IL-1 beta injection (P < 0.001). Econazole also enhanced the fever when it was given 120 min before injection of IL-1 beta (P < 0.001). The cytochrome P-450 inhibitor, however, did not affect the fever when given 10 min after IL-1 beta (P = 0.95). Econazole and clotrimazole did not alter normal body temperature (P = 0.65 and 0.73, respectively). The results suggest that the metabolite(s) of cytochrome P-450 affect the falling phase after the plateau phase of fever and act as putative endogenous antipyretic(s).
