The metabolism of pyrene by Penicillium glabrum strain TW 9424, a strain isolated from a site contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was investigated
in submerged cultures. The metabolites formed were identified as 1-hydroxypyrene, 1,6- and 1,8-dihydroxypyrene, 1,6- and 1,8-pyrenequinone,
and 1-pyrenyl sulfate. In addition, two new metabolites were isolated and identified by UV, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectroscopy as 1-methoxypyrene and 1,6-dimethoxypyrene. Experiments with [methyl-3H]S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) revealed that SAM is the coenzyme that provides the methyl group for the methyltransferase involved. To
our knowledge, this is the first time that methoxylated metabolites of PAHs have been isolated from fungal cultures.

The metabolism of pyrene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, by submerged cultures of the basidiomycete Crinipellis stipitaria was studied. After incubation for 68 h at 25°C in a 20-liter fermentor with complex medium and 20 mg of pyrene per liter, five metabolites were detected. The compounds were isolated by preparative high-performance liquid chromatography on RP18 and DIOL gels. By UV, infrared, and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, 1-hydroxypyrene, 1,6-dihydroxypyrene, 1,8-dihydroxypyrene, 1,6-pyrenequinone, and 1,8-pyrenequinone were identified. 1,6- and 1,8-dihydroxypyrene were obtained from fungal cultures for the first time. The formation of these metabolites was confirmed by investigations with [4,5,9,10-14C]pyrene. 相似文献

The isolation and identification of pyrene metabolites formed from pyrene by the fungus Cunninghamella elegans is described. C. elegans was incubated with pyrene for 24 h. Six metabolites were isolated by reversed-phase high-performance liquid (HPLC) and thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and characterized by the application of UV absorption, 1H-NMR and mass spectral techniques. C. elegans hydroxylated pyrene predominantly at the 1,6- and 1,8-positions with subsequent glucosylation to form glucoside conjugates of 1-hydroxypyrene, 1,6- and 1,8-dihydroxypyrene. In addition, 1,6- and 1,8-pyrenequinones and 1-hydroxypyrene were identified as metabolites. Experiments with [4-14C]pyrene indicated that over a 24-h period, 41% of pyrene was metabolized to ethyl acetate-soluble metabolites. The glucoside conjugates of 1-hydroxypyrene, 1,6- and 1,8-dihydroxypyrene accounted for 26%, 7% and 14% of the pyrene metabolized, respectively. Pyrenequinones accounted for 22%. The results indicate that the fungus C. elegans metabolized pyrene to non-toxic metabolites (glucoside conjugates) as well as to compounds (pyrenequinones) which have been suggested to be biologically active in higher organisms. In addition, there was no metabolism at the K-region of the molecule which is a major site of enzymatic attack in mammalian systems. 相似文献

Nine 9,10-dihydrophenanthrenes, three phenanthrenes and a related pyrene have been isolated from the wetland plant Juncus acutus. The structures have been attributed by means of their spectral data and chemical correlation. 5-(1-Ethoxy-ethyl)-2-hydroxy-7-methoxy-1,8-dimethyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene and 5-(1-phytoxy-ethyl)-2-hydroxy-7-methoxy-1,8-dimethyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene, 2,7-dihydroxy-1-methyl-5-vinylphenanthrene, 2,7-dimethoxy-1,6-dimethyl-5-vinylphenanthrene and 2,7-dihydroxy-1,6-dimethylpyrene are described for the first time. Many of the compounds showed in vitro phytotoxicity against Selenastrum capricornutum, a microalga used in aquatic tests. 相似文献

In the Ames Salmonella typhimurium reversion assay 1,6- and 1,8-dinitropyrenes (1,6- and 1,8-DNPs) are much more potent mutagens than 1-nitropyrene (1-NP). Genetic experiments established that certain differences in the metabolism of the DNPs, which in turn result in increased DNA adduction, play a role. It remained unclear, however, if the DNP adducts, N-(guanin-8-yl)-1-amino-6 ()-nitropyrene (Gua-C8-1,6-ANP and Gua-C8-1,8-ANP), which contain a nitro group on the pyrene ring covalently linked to the guanine C8, are more mutagenic than the major 1-NP adduct, N-(guanin-8-yl)-1-aminopyrene (Gua-C8-AP). In order to address this, we have compared the mutation frequency of the three guanine C8 adducts, Gua-C8-AP, Gua-C8-1,6-ANP, and Gua-C8-1,8-ANP in a CGCG*CG sequence. Single-stranded M13mp7L2 vectors containing these adducts and a control were constructed and replicated in Escherichia coli. A remarkable difference in the induced CpG deletion frequency between these adducts was noted. In repair-competent cells the 1-NP adduct induced 1.7% CpG deletions without SOS, whereas the 1,6- and 1,8-DNP adducts induced 6.8 and 10.0% two-base deletions, respectively. With SOS, CpG deletions increased up to 1.9, 11.1, and 15.1% by 1-NP, 1,6-, and 1,8-DNP adducts, respectively. This result unequivocally established that DNP adducts are more mutagenic than the 1-NP adduct in the repetitive CpG sequence. In each case the mutation frequency was significantly increased in a mutS strain, which is impaired in methyl-directed mismatch repair, and a dnaQ strain, which carries a defect in proofreading activity of the DNA polymerase III. Modeling studies showed that the nitro group on the pyrene ring at the 8-position can provide additional stabilization to the two-nucleotide extrahelical loop in the promutagenic slipped frameshift intermediate through its added hydrogen-bonding capability. This could account for the increase in CpG deletions in the M13 vector with the nitro-containing adducts compared with the Gua-C8-AP adduct itself. 相似文献

Summary Biotransformation of geraniol 1A and nerol 1B was studied with four strains of Botrytis cinerea and three growth media. Using grape must predominant conversion of 1A/1B to E-3,7-dimethyl-2-octen-1,8-diol 5 and 2Z,6E-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadien-1,8-diol 16B was observed. However, with one strain and 1A, E-2-methyl-2-hepten-6-one-1-ol 2B, 7-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-heptanone 3 and p-menth-1-ene-9-ol 7 were identified as major metabolites. As further fungal bioconversion products of 1A/1B were detected: Z-2-methyl-2-hepten-6-one-1-ol 2A, 2E,6Z-, 2E,6E-and 2Z,6Z-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadien-1,8-diol 4A/4B/16A, Z-3,7-dimethyl-2-octen-1,8-diol 17, 3,7-dimethyl-1,8-octandiol 6, 2E,6E-8-hydroxy-2,6-dimethyl-2,6-octadienal 8, geranial and neral 9, 18, citronellol 10, Z- and E-2,6-dimethyl-2,7-octadien-1,6-diol 13A/13B, 6-hydroxy-2,6-dimethyl-2,7-octadienal 14 as well as 2,6-dimethyl-7-octen-1,6-diol 15. Using synthetic growth medium again -hydroxylation reactions were observed, but 2-methyl-2-hepten-6-one 11 and 7 were also identified as major bioconversion products of 1A and 1B, respectively. Additionally, 2-methyl-2-hepten-6-ol 12 was detected and, using 1B, also traces of 2Z,6E-8-hydroxy-2,6-dimethyl-2,6-octadienal 19 and two 3,9-epoxy-p-menth-1-ene isomers 20A/20B were found. Addition of small amounts of grape must to the synthetic medium (1:700 to 5:700) influenced both the yields of metabolites and their qualitative and quantitative distribution. Identifications of biotransformation products of 1A/1B were performed by capillary gas chromatography (HRGC) and coupled HRGC techniques, i.2. on-line-mass spectrometry (HRGC-MS) and-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (HRGC-FTIR) after extractive sample preparation. 相似文献

Nineteen filamentous fungi, isolated from estuarine sediments in Brazil, were screened for degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). The fungal isolates were incubated with pyrene. The cultures were extracted and metabolites in the extracts were detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and u.v. spectral analyses. Six fungi were selected for further studies using [4,5,9,10-14C]pyrene. Cyclothyrium sp., Penicillium simplicissimum, Psilocybe sp., and a sterile mycelium demonstrated the ability to transform pyrene. Cyclothyrium sp. was the most efficient fungus, transforming 48% of pyrene to pyrene trans-4,5-dihydrodiol, pyrene-1,6-quinone, pyrene-1,8-quinone and 1-hydroxypyrene. This fungus was also evaluated with a synthetic mixture of PAH. After 192 h of incubation, Cyclothyrium sp. was able to degrade simultaneously 70, 74, 59 and 38% of phenanthrene, pyrene, anthracene and benzo[a]pyrene, respectively. 相似文献

The 7-methylbenzo[a]pyrene (7-MBaP) was incubated with liver microsomes of rats pretreated with polychlorinated biphenyls (Aroclor 1254) (PCBs). Metabolites of 7-MBaP were isolated by both reversed-phase and normal-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance, UV-visible and mass spectral analyses. The predominant metabolite of 7-MBaP was found to be 3-hydroxy-7-methylbenzo[a]pyrene (3-hydroxy-7-MBaP). Other identified metabolites include 7-MBaP 4,5-, 7,8-, and 9,10-trans-dihydrodiols, 7-hydroxymethyl-BaP, 7-hydroxymethyl-BaP trans-9,10-dihydrodiol, 9-hydroxy-7-MBaP, 3-hydroxy-7-hydroxymethyl-BaP, 7-MBaP 1,6- and 3,6- quinones, and a hydroquinone which is also formed by further metabolism of the 3-hydroxy-7-MBaP. Comparative metabolic studies of 7-MBaP and BaP indicated that, relative to that of BaP, the methyl substituent of 7-MBaP slightly increases the formation of 3-hydroxy-7-MBaP and decreases the metabolism at other regions of the 7-MBaP molecule. The finding that a 7,8-dihydrodiol is a metabolite indicates that, like BaP, 7-MBaP may also be activated to the potentially reactive 7,8-dihydrodiol 9,10-epoxides although their formations are significantly reduced. 相似文献

Nitrated pyrenes are mutagenic and tumorigenic environmental pollutants that are activated to DNA-binding derivatives via nitroreduction. We have investigated the enzymatic nitroreduction of 1-nitropyrene, 1,3-, 1,6- and 1,8-dinitropyrene to determine if differences in the extent of nitroreduction may help explain differences in their biological potencies. Each nitrated pyrene was incubated aerobically and anaerobically with 105,000 X g supernatant (S105) from Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and the nitroreductase-deficient strain, TA98NR, and with cytosol and microsomes from rat and human liver. Under anaerobic conditions, 1-nitropyrene and 1,3-dinitropyrene were reduced by TA98 S105 to a lesser extent than 1,6- and 1,8-dinitropyrene. The extent of 1,6- and 1,8-dinitropyrene metabolism was not altered relative to TA98 when using TA98NR S105, but the nitroreduction of 1-nitropyrene and 1,3-dinitropyrene was decreased. Both rat and human liver cytosol and microsomes reduced 1,6- and 1,8-dinitropyrene to greater extents than 1-nitropyrene and 1,3-dinitropyrene. Under aerobic conditions rat and human liver cytosols were similar to TA98 S105 in that aminopyrene decreased while nitrosopyrene formation increased. By comparison, oxygen decreased the microsomal formation of both nitrosopyrenes and aminopyrenes. The reduction of succinoylated cytochrome c was measured during the hepatic metabolism of nitro- and nitrosopyrenes under aerobic conditions. The data indicated that reduced nitro- and nitrosopyrene intermediates were directly reducing succinoylated cytochrome c and that the assay could be used as a measure of aerobic nitroreduction. These studies demonstrate that 1,6- and 1,8-dinitropyrene are reduced to a greater extent than 1-nitropyrene and 1,3-dinitropyrene, which corresponds to their relative biological potencies as mutagens and carcinogens. Furthermore, although more extensive nitroreduction is detected under anaerobic conditions, the nitroreduction that occurs aerobically may be important for the mutagenic and tumorigenic properties of these compounds. 相似文献

The effect of highly purified rat liver cytosolic NAD(P)H-quinone oxidoreductase [EC 1.6.99.2] on the mutagenicity of 1,3- 1,6- and 1,8-dinitropyrene (DNP) was studied in the Ames Salmonella typhimurium mutagenicity assay. NAD(P)H-quinone oxidoreductase over the range of 0.02–0.8 μ g/plate (38–1500) units increased up to threefold the mutagenicity of all three DNPs in S. typhimurium TA 98. In TA98NR, a strain deficient in “classical” nitroreductase, the mutagenicity of 1,6- and 1,8-DNP was essentially unchanged, whereas that of 1,3-DNP was markedly reduced. NAD(P)H-quinone oxidoreductase enhanced the mutagenicity of 1,6- and 1,8-DNP to approximately equivalent extents in TA98NR and TA98. The mutagenicity of 1,3-DNP in TA98NR was potently enhanced by the addition of NAD(P)H-quinone oxidoreductase in a dose-responsive manner. In the presence of 0.8 μg NAD(P)H-quinone oxidoreductase, 1,3-DNP displayed a mutagenic response in TA98NR that was comparable to that obtained in TA98. NAD(P)H-quinone oxidoreductase was found to increase the mutagenicity of 1,6- but not 1,3- or 1,8-DNP to mutagenic intermediates in TA98/1,8-DNP6, a strain deficient in O-acetyltransferase activity. The results suggest that NAD(P)H-quinone oxidoreductase not only catalyzes reduction of the parent DNP but also that of partially reduced metabolites generated from that DNP. Such reductive metabolism may lead to increased formation of the penultimate mutagenic species. 相似文献

Glucoamylases from Aspergillus niger and Rhizopus niveus catalyzed condensation of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (dGlc) to yield deoxy-glucooligosaccharides with polymerization degrees of 2–5. The enzymes also gave a small amount of products from 3-deoxy-o-glucose, but no products from 6-deoxy-D-glucose. A. niger α-glucosidase also catalyzed condensation of dGlc, while Torula and Saccharomyces α-glucosidases had low activity. α-l,4-, 1,6-, and 1,3-linked deoxy-glucobioses were isolated and identified as the products of A. niger glucoamylase and A. niger α-glucosidase. In the reaction of the glucoamylase, 1,4- and 1,3-linked saccharides decreased with an increase of 1,6-linked one. A. niger α-glucosidase produced α-1,6-linked disaccharide predominantly during the whole course of the reaction. 相似文献

The metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene in randomly proliferating and confluent cultures of human skin fibroblast cells was compared with cell cultures in early S phase of the cell cycle after a G1 block. When each cell population was exposed to [G-3H]benzo[a]pyrene for 24 hours and the organic soluble metabolites in the extracellular medium and intracellular components were analyzed by HPLC, a quantitative increase in metabolism was observed in the confluent cell populations. The amount of organic soluble metabolites in the extracellular medium of the confluent dense cultures was 2.7 times the amount found in randomly proliferating cultures and 1.5 times that of the synchronized cultures. The trans-7,8- and 9,10 dihydrodiols and 3-hydroxy benzo[a]pyrene were the major metabolites formed. Small amounts of the sulphate conjugate, 9-hydroxy-benzo[a]pyrene and the tetrols were also detected. Cytoplasmic as well as nuclear extracts from the confluent cell cultures also contained higher amounts of metabolites compared to those from the randomly proliferating and S-phase cells. The levels of DNA modification by metabolically activated benzo[a]pyrene did not differ among the randomly proliferating, confluent and S-phase cells. However, the S-phase cells exhibited approximately 50-fold increase in the frequency of transformation compared to the randomly proliferating cells. Confluent cells were not transformed by benzo[a]pyrene. These data suggest that factors other than random modification of DNA by the carcinogen might have a significant role in the expression of a transformed phenotype and that metabolism and transformation are not directly related. Furthermore, confluent dense cultures with a heightened capability for metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene were more active in the detoxification of benzo[a]pyrene than in the production of the metabolites associated with cellular transformation.Abbreviations BaP

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are common ubiquitous pollutants existing in nature with high recalcitrance and toxicity.
In this study a bacterium capable of aerobic degradation of high molecular weight PAHs (with special reference to pyrene)
was isolated by selective enrichment culture technique from oil refinery effluent sludge. The isolate was characterized as
Achromobacter xylooxidans by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis technique. For the first time it is hereby reported a bacterium capable of effectively
degrading pyrene (up to 80%), as evident by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic analysis (RP-HPLC). After
incubation of Achromobacter xylooxidans in minimal salt medium (MSM) containing pyrene, at concentration of 200 mg/L, as sole source of carbon and energy, there
was decrease in pyrene concentration concomitant with increase in bacterial cell protein concentration. RP-HPLC analysis revealed
that pyrene was degraded into three metabolites viz. I, II and III. The RP-HPLC eluent fraction were collected from 2.5 to
32.0 min by repeated injection of degraded sample, concentrated and analyzed on gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC-MS)
for metabolite identification. The fraction shows 1-hydroxypyrene, 1-hydroxy-6-methoxypyrene and 1,6dimethoxypyrene as metabolic
product of pyrene degradation, on the basis of their m/z values. On contrary to the reported PAH degradation with reference to pyrene by different isolates till date; the efficient
degradation, as evident by RP-HPLC, by this isolate holds a promising potential for planning of bioremediation strategies
of contaminated sites. 相似文献

,n=3, 8, 11, and 15] probes was investigated in erythrocyte plasma membranes (leaky) in order to assess the ability of oxygen molecules to interact with solutes located at different positions in the membrane. The pseudounimolecular quenching rate constants measured increase, both for cationic and anionic probes, whenn increases. These results are interpreted in terms of an increased oxygen solubility toward the center of the membrane interior, and imply that lateral diffusion contributes more than transverse diffusion to total oxygen mobility. For all of the probes considered, quenching rates increase whenn-alkanols are added. The effect observed increases whenn decreases and when the size of then-alkanol alkyl chain increases. Arrhenius-type plots for the quenching rate constants show noticeable downward curvatures. Average (0–40°C) activation energies are 6 kcal/mol.Abbreviations EPM

1-Ethynylpyrene, trans-, & cis-1-(2-bromovinyl)pyrene, methyl 1-pyrenyl acetylene, and phenyl 1-pyrenyl acetylene are substrates for cytochrome P-450 dependent monooxygenases and also inhibitors of cytochrome P-450 dependent benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase activities in liver microsomes from 5,6-benzoflavone or phenobarbital pretreated rats. 1-Ethynylpyrene, trans-1-(2-bromovinyl)pyrene, and methyl 1-pyrenyl acetylene cause a mechanism based inhibition (suicide inhibition) of the benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase activities in microsomes from 5,6-benzoflavone or phenobarbital pretreated rats, while cis-1-(2-bromovinyl)pyrene only causes suicide inhibition of the hydroxylse activities in the 5,6-benzoflavone induced microsomes and phenyl 1-pyrenyl acetylene does not cause a detectable suicide inhibition of these activities in either type of microsome. Incubation with NADPH and 1-ethynylpyrene, trans-, or cis-1-(2-bromovinyl)pyrene causes a loss of the P-450 content in the microsomes from 5,6-benzoflavone or phenobarbital pretreated rats, but incubations with methyl 1-pyrenyl acetylene or phenyl 1-pyrenyl acetylene did not cause a loss of the P-450 content of either microsomal preparation. 相似文献

Linear copolymeric polythioesters [PTE; poly(α,ω-alkanedioic acid-co-α,ω-alkanedithiols)] were formed in good yield (∼69%) by thioesterification of 1,12-dodecanedioic acid with 1,6-hexanedithiol and 1,8-octanedithiol, respectively, catalyzed by immobilized lipase from Rhizomucor miehei (Lipozyme RM IM) in vacuo without a solvent. Similarly, transthioesterification (thiolysis) of diethyl 1,12-dodecanedioate with 1,6-hexanedithiol led to the formation of ∼66% PTE. Poly (1,12-dodecanedioic acid-co-1,6-hexanedithiol) and poly (1,12-dodecanedioic acid-co-1,8-octanedithiol) were extracted from the reaction mixture using methyl-t-butylether, precipitated at −20°C and the precipitates extracted with boiling i-hexane to yield two fractions of PTE. The i-hexane-insoluble fraction of poly (1,12-dodecanedioic acid-co-1,6-hexanedithiol) shows an average molecular mass (Mw) of 1,212 Da, corresponding to a molecular weight range of up to 13,200 Da and a degree of polymerization of up to 38 monomer units. The i-hexane-insoluble fraction of poly (1,12-dodecanedioic acid-co-1,8-octanedithiol) shows a Mw of 2,360 Da, corresponding to a molecular weight range of up to 19,500 Da and a maximum degree of polymerization of up to 52 monomer units. The low-molecular weight (<800 Da) reaction products of thioesterification of 1,12-dodecanedioic acid with 1,6-hexanedithiol, elucidated by gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy, show the following intermediates: (1) 9,20-dioxo-1,8-dithiacycloeicosane; (2) 17,28-dioxo-1,8,9,16-tetrathiacyclooctacosane; (3) 1,12-dodecanedioic acid methyl(O)ester 6′-S-mercaptohexyl thio(S)ester; and (4) oligomeric linear thioester, formed by thioesterification of two molecules of 1,12-dodecanedioic acid with one molecule of 1,6-hexanedithiol. 相似文献

Addition of primary organic amines, such as n-butylamine, to the mobile phase altered the capacity factors and selectivity of benzo[a]pyrene metabolites obtained with reverse-phase high pressure liquid chromatography on an ODS column. Separation of benzo[a]pyrene phenols in particular was improved with 8 of the 10 available metabolites resolved, including those known to be biologically produced. The method offers sufficiently improved resolution or convenience that it should prove useful in comparative studies of metabolism of benzo[a]-pyrene and other polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. Applying the method to analysis of benzo[a]pyrene metabolites produced in vitro by hepatic microsomes from the marine fish Stenotomus versicolor indicated the principal phenolic derivatives produced by this fish were 1-hydroxy-, 3-hydroxy-, 7-hydroxy-, and 9-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene. 相似文献

We have previously shown that the filamentous fungus, Penicillium janthinellum SFU403 (SFU403) oxidizes pyrene to pyrene 1,6- and 1,8-quinones and that the level of pyrenequinones (PQs) subsequently declines suggesting that PQs are not terminal metabolites. The purpose of this study was to determine the fate of PQs in SFU403. First, we compared the fate of 14C-pyrene in SFU403 and a non-pyrene-oxidizing fungus, a Paecilomyces sp. After 7 days of incubation, more than 80% of the radioactivity was cell-associated in both fungi; however, while 90% of the 14C could be extracted from the Paecilomyces sp. as unmetabolized pyrene, 65–80% of the bound radioactivity remained inextractable from SFU403. Further evidence that pyrene oxidation to PQs was required for irreversible binding was obtained by comparing the extent of 14C bound to SFU403 when it was grown for 21 days under conditions that resulted in differing amounts of 14C-pyrene oxidation. The results showed that 40% of the inextractable products were bound residues derived from pyrene metabolites. The balance (60%) could be attributed to strong sorption of unreacted pyrene. We used electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and oxygen consumption studies to demonstrate that both NADPH and glutathione can reduce PQs by one electron to their corresponding semiquinone anion radicals in vitro. These studies demonstrate that PQs are metabolized by SFU403 to bound residues, possibly via semiquinone intermediates. 相似文献

The eucalyptus weevil, Gonipterus platensis (Coleoptera, Curculionidae), is a major pest of eucalyptus plantations worldwide. To date, no pheromones have been identified for this species, despite their valuable potential as tools in monitoring or control strategies. Here we report the detection and identification of pheromones candidates of G. platensis. The weevil's volatile compounds were collected by solid phase micro extraction (SPME) and monolithic material sorption extraction (MMSE). Using Gas Chromatography coupled to Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis, eleven insect specific compounds were detected and identified: verbenene, cis-verbenol, trans-verbenol, verbenone, 2-oxo-1,8-cineole, 9-hydroxy-1,8-cineole, 2-α-hydroxy-1,8-cineole, 3-oxo-1,8-cineole, 2-β-hydroxy-1,8-cineole, 3-α-hydroxy-1,8-cineole and 7-hydroxy-1,8-cineole. Three of these compounds, verbenene, cis-verbenol and trans-verbenol, were shown to be male-specific. Antennal sensitivity towards ten compounds emitted by G. platensis was detected using Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry/Electroantennographic Detection (GC-MS/EAD). Extracts from virgin males proved to be attractive to virgin females in olfactometer bioassays. Further behavioural bioassays showed that both virgin females and virgin males were attracted to the male-specific compound cis-verbenol and that virgin females were attracted to trans-verbenol. Verbenone was attractive to mated females. Regarding 2-α-hydroxy-1.8-cineole and 2-oxo-1,8-cineole, which are produced by both sexes, the alcohol was attractive to virgin males and both the alcohol and the ketone were repellant to mated females. This is, to our knowledge, the first identification of pheromones candidates in Gonipterus spp. and also the first evidence of cineole metabolites acting as semiochemicals. 相似文献

The addition of 1,8-pyrenequinone into the assay system containing rat liver homogenates (S-9) caused an approximately 10-fold increase in the mutagenicity of 2-acetylaminofluorene (AAF) in the current Salmonella reversion assay system. Since no chemical reaction between 1,8-pyrenequinone and AAF was observed, the in vitro effects of 1,8-pyrenequinone on the metabolisms of AAF with S-9 mix were studied. The enhancement of mutagenicity by 1,8-pyrenequinone was not dependent on the dose of NADPH under the present assay condition. The mutagenicity of AAF was increased approximately 4-fold by the addition of 1,8-pyrenequinone into microsomes, whereas it remained at the spontaneous level in the presence of cytosol. However, by reconstituting microsomes with cytosol, the mutagenicity enhancing activity was recovered to the original level. Since 1,8-pyrenequinone inhibited the AAF hydroxylase activity, chemical analysis of the incubation mixture of AAF was tried. This indicated that a higher amount of unmetabolized AAF remained and higher amounts of 2-aminofluorene and N-hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene were accumulated in the presence of 1,8-pyrenequinone compared with those in the absence of 1,8-pyrenequinone. From these results, it seems probable that 1,8-pyrenequinone inhibits C-hydroxylation (the detoxifying pathway) and promotes N-hydroxylation (the activating pathway) as well as deacetylation in the AAF metabolism. 相似文献
