• Toxicity: A well-known inhibitor of monooxygenase reactions and can also, under some circumstances, stimulate metabolism of xenobiotics in vitro. In either case, the effect is non-competitive, in that the KM does not change whereas Vmax does, decreasing in the case of inhibition and increasing in the case of stimulation.
