چکیده
New metabolites of 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ), a potent mutagen and carcinogen formed during cooking of meat or fish, have been identified and quantitated in the urine and bile of rats. Administration was either by a pulse gavage dose of 40 mg/kg [2-14C]IQ or by dietary intake of 300 ppm IQ for 6 weeks. The metabolites were isolated by high-performance liquid chromatography and quantitated by radioactivity. They were then characterized by their resistance or sensitivity to hydrolytic enzymes or acid hydrolysis, by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry, or coinjection with a synthetic sample. A minor metabolite was the IQ N-glucuronide. A major metabolite was formed by hydroxylation of IQ at the 5-position; it was present in urine and bile and was conjugated as the glucuronide or sulfate ester, which together accounted for about 40% of urinary or biliary metabolites. The unconjugated compound partially adsorbs onto the high-performance liquid chromatographic columns used. The amounts of 5-OH-IQ present as conjugates in urine or bile were similar, irrespective of mode of administration. Thus, hydroxylation of IQ on carbon 5 followed by type II conjugation reactions yields quantitatively important metabolic products.

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...
متن کاملN-Demethylation is a major route of 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline metabolism in mouse.
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 rode...
متن کاملSpecies differences in metabolism of heterocyclic aromatic amines, human exposure, and biomonitoring.
Heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) are animal carcinogens and suspected human carcinogens which are formed in cooked foods at the low parts per billion level. HAAs in cooked meats were purified by either immunoaffinity chromatography or solid phase tandem extraction, which allowed for the simultaneous analysis of 11 HAAs by HPLC. The metabolism of two prominent HAAs, 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidaz...
متن کاملMetabolism of a heterocyclic amine colon carcinogen in young and old rats.
The incidence of colon cancer increases with age, and this may be related to altered metabolism and disposition of carcinogens. One such carcinogen implicated in colon cancer is the heterocyclic amine found in well done meat, 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ). The purpose of these studies was to determine whether the disposition and metabolism of IQ changes with age, comparing young ...

Rats and hamsters were administered a single dose of N-[1-14C]nitroso(2-hydroxypropyl)(2-oxopropyl)amine (HPOP), and their urinary metabolites were examined at various time intervals. In both species, urinary excretion of radiolabeled metabolites reached a plateau at 6 h following injection. At this time, 35 and 28% of the total dose was found in the urine of rats and hamsters, respectively. Se...
