The interaction of several biogenic amines and Compound A (2-(4acetoxyphenyl)-2-chloro-N-methyl-ethylammonium chloride), an analogue of the active substance in a HPLC fraction isolated from the shrub, Salsola tuberculatiformis Botsch., with cytochrome P450c11 was investigated. Noradrenaline, octopamine and Compound A inhibited the type I DOC induced difference spectrum of P450c11 and elicited a type II difference spectrum when added alone. The Ks-values for noradrenaline, octopamine, and

Further investigation of Compound A indicated that it is a mixed inhibitor of sheep P450c11 with a stronger competitive (Kic = 106-110 M) than uncompetitive (Kiu = 667-737 M) element.
