1-Aminobenzotriazole (ABT) alone significantly increases the expression levels of CYP2B6 in two different hepatocytes (7.3- and 10.8-fold, respectively). Upon co-treatment with 1-Aminobenzotriazole, the induction of CYP2B6 expression by CITCO or rifampin is potentiated: 12.6- and 4.0-fold for CITCO as well as 3.9- and 2.5-fold for rifampin. 1-Aminobenzotriazole has a greater potentiation effect on CITCO than on rifampin. 1-Aminobenzotriazole alone increases the expression levels of CYP3A4 in tow different hepatocytes (by 2.0- and 3.8-fold). Upon co-treatment with 1-Aminobenzotriazole, the effects of CITCO on CYP3A4 expression levels are potentiated by 3.8- and 6.0- fold as compare to cells treated with CITCO alone[1].
1-Aminobenzotriazole (ABT) (1 mM) shows pronounced (~95%) inhibition of the formation of N-acetylprocainamide compare with the control without 1-Aminobenzotriazole[2].

Phenotype examined before and after cold treatment (−4 °C, 12 h) of trifoliate orange plants that were pretreated with water (H2O), 200 μM SA, 100 μM 1-Aminobenzotriazole (ABT), or ABT plus 1 mm proline (ABT + Pro). Scale bars = 1 cm. The results demonstrated that ABT (an inhibitor of SA biosynthesis) significantly reduced the endogenous SA content within the plants, leading to a substantial decline in their cold tolerance—specifically, a marked increase in their sensitivity to low temperatures (relative to plants not treated with ABT).

Protocol
Freshly isolated human hepatocytes are used in this study. Briefly, hepatocytes are placed in serum-free Williams’ E media containing 0.1 μM dexamethasone, 10 μg/mL gentamicin, 15 mM HEPES, 2 mM L-glutamine, and 1% ITS. Cells are incubated for 10 hr at 37°C in an atmosphere containing 5% CO2. After recovery, the hepatocytes are treated with media containing CITCO (100 nM), rifampin (10 μM) or vehicle (ethanol), with or without 1-Aminobenzotriazole (ABT) (1 mM) for 72 hr[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Male Sprague-Dawley rats (0.26 to 0.30 kg, n=3 per treatment) receive an oral dose of 1-Aminobenzotriazole (ABT) (100 mg/kg, 2 mL/kg) 2 h before a single intravenous bolus of procainamide (10 mg/kg, 2 mL/kg). The control group receives only the intravenous bolus of procainamide without 1-Aminobenzotriazole pretreatment. The vehicle for both 1-Aminobenzotriazole and procainamide is 10% dimethylacetamide/90% water (v/v). Rats are fed 4 h after dosing, and serial blood samples are collected at 0.03, 0.17, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 6 h postdose. Blood samples are centrifuged using tubes containing K3-EDTA as the anticoagulant to obtain plasma. Urine samples are also collected over 24 h postdose. Plasma and urine samples are frozen at -20°C until analysis[2].
