Mutagenicity and Tumor-initiatingActivity of Fluorinated Derivatives of 7,12-Dimethylbenz(a)anthracene1

چکیده
7,12-Dimethylbenz(a)anthnacene (DMBA) and its 1-, 2-, 5-, and 11-fluono derivatives were tested to determine their mutagenicity for ouabain resistance in Chinese hamster V79 cells and their tumor-initiating activity in mouse skin. Inasmuch as V79 cells do not metabolize polycyclic aro matic hydrocarbons, mutagenesis was tested both in the presence and in the absence of golden hamster embryo cells capable of metabolizing polycyclic aromatic hydrocar bons. Neither DMBA nor any of the fluorinated derivatives showed mutagenicity for V79 cells in the absence of the golden hamster cells. In the presence of these cells, DMBA and 11-fluoro-DMBA exhibited a comparable mutagenic response that was dose dependent. At a dose as low as 0.01 pM, a 7to 10-fold increase in the frequency of ouabain resistant mutants was observed. The other derivatives were either inactive or required more than a 1000-fold higher dose to induce a comparable mutagenic response. Simi lanly, both DMBA and 11-fluoro-DMBA at 100 nmol initiated tumors in 100% of the tested mice, whereas the other fluorinated derivatives at this dose initiated skin tumors in 15% on less of the treated mice. The average number of papillomas per mouse induced by 1-, 2-, and 5-fluoro-DMBA was more than 100-fold lower than the number induced by DMBA or 11-fluoro-DMBA. These results suggest that car bon positions 1 and 2 of DMBA, which are located at the “bay region,―and position 5, which is located at the “Kregion,―are involved in the metabolic activation of DMBA into mutagenic and carcinogenic metabolites.

Thirty-nine derivatives of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) were tested for mutagenicity towards Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100 in the presence of activating enzymes. The compounds tested included four sets of 3,4-, 5,6-, 8,9-, and 10,11-diols: those of DMBA, its 7and 12-hydroxymethyl derivatives, and the 7,12-dihydroxymethyl derivative. Several phenolic derivatives and formyl and car...

hggs of the sea urchin Paracenlrotus lividus were used in testing the effect of benzo(a)pyrene and 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene on dividing and differentiating cells. In spite of the nonspecific labeling pattern of tritiated hydrocarbons to cell constituents, treatment of fertilized eggs and pretreatments of both the gametes before fertili zation have shown that the action of benzo(a)pyrene d...

The Salmonella-microsome assay for mutagenesis was used to determine the effect of ozone on the mutagenesis of selected carcinogens and mutagens in water. Short periods of ozonation were shown to completely inactivate the mutagenicity of several polyaromatic amine mutagens including acriflavine, proflavine, and beta-naphthylamine. Selected polyaromatic hydrocarbons were also sensitive to ozonat...
