Abstract
► Harmaline and harmalol inhibit dioxin-induced CYP1A1 enzyme in human hepatoma HepG2 cells. ► Both compounds decreased dioxin-induced CYP1A1 at mRNA, protein, and activity levels in a concentration dependent manner. ► Their underlying mechanism involves the inhibition of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling pathway. ► Moreover, harmaline and harmalol decreased the stability of CYP1A1 protein that suggests a posttranslational mechanism.
