Macromolecular binding and metabolism of the carcinogen 4-chloro-2-methylaniline.

چکیده
Biochemical investigations relating to the mechanism of action and mechanism of activation have been made for the carcinogen, 4-chloro-2-methylaniline. Radioactivity from 4-chloro-2-[methyl-14C]methylaniline became extensively bound to protein, DNA, and RNA of rat liver, but macromolecules of some of the other tissues examined contained little radioactivity. Enzymatic activity dependent upon reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and leading to irreversible binding to radioactivity from labeled 4-chloro-2-methylaniline to macromolecules in the reaction system was present in microsomes from rat liver. The activity was inducible by phenobarbital. Two soluble products of microsomal enzymes were identified by mass spectral analysis and chemical synthesis as 5-chloro-2-hydroxylaminotoluene and 4,4'-dichloro-2,2'-dimethylazobenzene. The hydroxylamino compound appears to be a more activated form of 4-chloro-2-methylaniline.

Revised mechanism of Boyland-Sims oxidation.
New computational insights into the mechanism of the Boyland-Sims oxidation of arylamines with peroxydisulfate (S(2)O(8)(2-)) in an alkaline aqueous solution are presented. The key role of arylnitrenium cations, in the case of primary and secondary arylamines, and arylamine dications and immonium cations, in the case of tertiary arylamines, in the formation of corresponding o-aminoaryl sulfates...
متن کاملN-demethylation of p-chloro-N-methylaniline catalyzed by subcellular fractions from the avocado pear (Persea americana).
Subcellular fractions from the avocado pear ( Persea americana) catalyzed formation of p-chloroaniline from p-chloro-N-methylaniline. Fractions prepared by centrifugation of avocado homogenates at 20, 000g for 20 min formed p-chloroaniline (2900 +/- 500 pmol min-1 mg protein-1) with an NADPH-generating system. p-Chloroaniline formation required reduced pyridine nucleotide (NADPH was 6-7 times m...
متن کاملPharmacokinetic study of p-chloronitrobenzene in humans suffering from acute poisoning.
The pharmacokinetics of p-chloronitrobenzene (p-CNB) in human subjects suffering from acute poisoning was studied from the urinary excretion of p-CNB metabolites. The time course for excretion of five metabolites--2-chloro-5-nitrophenol,N-acetyl-S-(4-nitrophenyl)- L-cysteine, 2,4-dichloroaniline, p-chloroaniline, and 2-amino-5-chlorophenol-were determined by reversed-phase HPLC analysis of urin...
متن کاملReactions of 3,5-Dimethyl-1,2,4,3,5-trithiadiborolane with Secondary Amines: Formation of Diorganylamino(sulfhydryl)boranes*
The 1 : 1 reaction of 3,5-dimethyl-1,2,4,3,5-trithiadiborolane, 3, with dimethylamine in diethyl ether yielded a mixture of compounds from which only MeB(NMe2)SH, 7, could be separated. In the 1:2 reaction, insoluble Me2NH(MeB(S2)2BMe)HNMe2, 10, could be isolated besides 7 and small amounts of MeB(NMe2)2. In the presence of NMe3 the bis(methyl-dimethylamino-boryl)sulfide, 7 was obtained in good...
