deamination of primaquine by rat liver fractions was studied. Rat liver fractions including
liver homogenate, mitochondria, microsomes and 100,000 g supernatant fractions were
prepared from a pool of rat livers and characterised using benzylamine as a probe for MAO
activity and N, N-dimethylbenzarnide as a probe for P450 N-dealkylation activity. Incubation
of all fractions with primaquine yielded carboxyprimaquine as the only metabolite detectable …
