Application

1-Aminobenzotriazole has been used as a cytochrome P450 inhibitor to study the effects of estrogen on H2O2-induced premature senescence of vascular smooth muscle cells from old rats It has also been used to study the estrogen receptor-mediated effects of 17β-estradiol.

Biochem/physiol Actions

1-Aminobenzotriazole (1-ABT) is used as an in vitro tool in drug discovery. It can differentiate the P450 from non-P450 enzyme systems. 1-ABT exhibits inhibitory action by covalent alteration of the heme prosthetic group in the P450 enzyme.
Suicide inhibitor of cytochrome P450 and chloroperoxidase.

AZ'0908 is a novel microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 inhibitor intended for oral administration. Pharmacokinetic experiments in rats showed that bioavailability was much lower than anticipated and increased following pretreatment with the nonspecific cytochrome P450 (CYP) inhibitor 1-aminobenzotriazole, presumably by inhibition
