چکیده

2-Amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ) metabolism was evaluated in mouse to better understand its tumorigenicity. Urinary metabolites from mice orally administered 40 mg/kg [(14)C]IQ were compared with those from similarly treated rats. The recovery of radioactivity was significantly greater in mouse urine. The relative proportion of metabolites was significantly different, and a new rodent metabolite was detected. For rat, the proportion of previously identified metabolites excreted was 5-O-glucuronide > sulfamate > 5-sulfate > N-glucuronide. In mouse urine, a new metabolite, demethyl-IQ, represented approximately 26% of IQ metabolism with the proportion of metabolites as follows: 5-O-glucuronide > demethyl-IQ > sulfamate > N-glucuronide > 5-sulfate. Mouse metabolites were identified by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Demethyl-IQ was shown to be 2-aminoimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline. N-Acetyl-2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline was not detected with mice. Mouse liver slices produced 5-O-glucuronide, demethyl-IQ, and sulfamate with the former two being significantly reduced by ellipticine. Liver microsomes only produced demethyl-IQ. Ellipticine, a cytochrome P450 1A inhibitor, but not furafylline, an 1A2 selective inhibitor, prevented microsomal N-demethylation. Inhibitors had similar effects on 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation activity. Demethyl-IQ was not further metabolized by an intact mouse or liver microsomes. Thus, mouse IQ metabolism is significantly different from that in rat, and these differences may affect IQ tumorigenicity. N-Demethylation of IQ-like heterocyclic amines occurs in mouse, monkey, and human but not in rat.

Mutagenic activation of 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline by complementary DNA-expressed human liver P-450.

Eight forms of human liver microsomal P-450 were individually expressed in human hepatoma Hep G2 cells with a vaccinia virus cDNA expression system. Using the Ames test, each expressed P-450 was examined for its ability to activate to mutagenic products the compounds, 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline, 2-amino-3,4-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline, 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxal...

Metabolism of 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ) and 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazol[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx) and their binding to blood proteins were examined in the rat to develop methods of human biomonitoring. Hemoglobin and serum albumin were among many blood proteins modified. Approximately 0.01% of the dose for both compounds was bound to these proteins, and induction of cytochro...

DNA adduct formation by 2-amino-3-methylimidazo [4,5-f] quinoline (IQ) in rat colon.

A food-born carcinogen, 2-amino-3-methylimidazo [4,5-f] quinoline (IQ) induces cancer in the rat colon. The mechanism for colonic DNA adduct formation leading to cancer by IQ was studied using a colostomized F344 rat model. In this model, the transverse colon of the rat was colostomized, which produced a fecal stream-positive proximal colon and a negative distal colon were produced. When IQ (50...
