چکیده

Female BALB/c mice were administered intragastrically with equimolar amounts of either [2-14C]2-amino-3,8-dimethyl-[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx) or 2-acetylamino[9-14C]fluorene (2AAF). DNA was isolated from tissues of mice killed either 6 or 24 h after administration. Analysis of lvier DNA nucleotide digests by HPLC analysis revealed that all of the radioactivity was attributable to adduct formation. The specific activities of DNA samples were converted to covalent binding indices (CBI, mumol adduct per mol DNA nucleotides/mmol chemical applied per kg animal body weight). CBI values of 25 and 9 were determined for 2AAF and MeIQx in the livers of mice killed 6 h after dosing. The values were in general agreement with the moderate carcinogenic potency of these compounds. The specific activities of DNA preparations obtained from the kidneys, spleens, stomachs, small intestines and large intestines of mice treated with MeIQx and killed 6 h after dosing were 5- to 35-times less than those obtained with the liver. DNA isolated from the lungs (a target organ for MeIQx tumorigenicity) of MeIQx-treated mice was not radiolabelled at the limit of detection (CBI less than 0.3). With the exception of the gastrointestinal tract, the specific activities of DNA samples isolated from mice killed 6 h after administration were higher than those from mice killed after 24 h.

Effect of N-acetyltransferase 2 polymorphism on tumor target tissue DNA adduct levels in rapid and slow acetylator congenic rats administered 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo [4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) or 2-amino-3,8- dimethylimidazo- [4,5-f] quinoxaline (MeIQx)

2-Amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo-[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx) and 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) are suspected human carcinogens generated in well done meats. Following N-hydroxylation, they are O-acetylated by N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) to electrophiles that form DNA adducts. dG-C8-MeIQx and dG-C8-PhIP adducts have been identified in human tissues. In the female rat, adminis...

The ability of three model carcinogens, 1,2-dimethylhydrazine, di methylnitrosamine, and 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo|4,5-/]qiiinoxaline, to induce mutation in a novel in vivo assay in mouse intestine has been examined. The assay is based on mutations at the Dlb-1 locus which determines the tissue specific pattern of expression of the binding site for the lectin Doltchos bifloras agglutinin. In ...

2-Amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx), a major heterocyclic aromatic amine (HAA) formed in cooked meats, is metabolically transformed to mutagenic/carcinogenic intermediates. Cytochrome P4501A2 (CYP1A2)-mediated N-hydroxylation followed by phase II O-esterification by N-acetyltransferase (NAT2) are generally regarded as activation processes in which MeIQx and other HAAs are conv...
