Abstract
1. The hydroxylation of aniline by rabbit lung microsomes to rho-aminophenol required oxygen and NADPH, and was inhibited by menadione, ferricytochrome c and carbon monoxide. 2. NADH was a less effective electron donor than NADPH in this reaction, but its addition significantly increased the yield of rho-aminophenol formed in the presence of NADPH. 3. 4,16-Androstadien-3-one and 3beta-hydroxy-5-androsten-17-one were also metabolized by lung microsomes to the same products as are formed by hepatic microsomes.
