The enantiomers of trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydro-7-methylbenzo[a]pyrene (7-MBaP 7,8-dihydrodiol) and of trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-7-methylbenzo[a]pyrene (7-MBaP 7,8-tetrahydrodiol) were directly resolved by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a commercially available column packed with an (R)-N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-phenylglycine derivative of gamma-aminopropylsilanized silica. The absolute configurations of the resolved enantiomers were determined by the exciton chirality method. Circular dichroism (CD) spectral analysis of the quasidiequatorial benzo[a]pyrene 7R,8R-dihydrodiol enantiomer and its diacetate and dimenthoxyacetate derivatives indicated conformational changes were induced upon derivatization. However, the characteristic CD Cotton effects of the quasidiequatorial 7-MBaP 7,8-dihydrodiol and its diacetate and dimenthoxyacetate derivatives were similar indicating that the conformation of 7-MBaP trans-7,8-dihydrodiol was not altered upon derivatization. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectral analyses confirmed that 7-MBaP 7,8-dihydrodiol, its diacetate and dimenthoxyacetate derivatives all have quasidiequatorial conformations. The results indicate that the methyl substituent of 7-MBaP 7,8-dihydrodiol maintains a quasiaxial position regardless of the size of the acyl derivatives linked to the hydroxyl groups. 相似文献

(±)-7β,8α-Dihydroxy-9β,10β-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene (diol epoxide-1) and (±)-7β,8α-dihydroxy-9α,10α-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene (diol epoxide-2) are highly mutagenic diol epoxide diastereomers that are formed during metabolism of the carcinogen (±)-trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene. Remarkable stereoselectivity has been observed on metabolism of the optically pure (+)- and (?)-enantiomers of the dihydrodiol which are obtained by separation of the diastereomeric diesters with (?)-α-methoxy-α-trifluoromethylphenylacetic acid. The high stereoselectivity in the formation of diol epoxide-1 relative to diol epoxide-2 was observed with liver microsomes from 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rats and with a purified cytochrome P-448-containing monoxygenase system where the (?)-enantiomer produced a diol epoxide-2 to diol epoxide-1 ratio of 6 : 1 and the (+)-enantiomer produced a ratio of 1 : 22. Microsomes from control and phenobarbital-treated rats were less stereospecific in the metabolism of enantiomers of BP 7,8-dihydrodiol. The ratio of diol epoxide-2 to diol epoxide-1 formed from the (?)- and (+)-enantiomers with microsomes from control rats was 2 : 1 and 1 : 6, respectively. Both enantiomers of BP 7,8-dihydrodiol were also metabolized to a phenolic derivative, tentatively identified as 6,7,8-trihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene, which accounted for ~30% of the total metabolites formed by microsomes from control and phenobarbital-pretreated rats whereas this metabolite represents ~5% of the total metabolites with microsomes from 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rats. With benzo[a]pyrene as substrate, liver microsomes produced the 4,5-, 7,8- and 9,10-dihydrodiol with high optical purity (>85%), and diol epoxides were also formed. Most of the optical activity in the BP 7,8-dihydrodiol was due to metabolism by the monoxygenase system rather than by epoxide hydrase, since hydration of (±)-benzo[a]pyrene 7,8-oxide by liver microsomes produced dihydrodiol which was only 8% optically pure. Thus, the stereospecificity of both the monoxygenase system and, to a lesser extent, epoxide hydrase plays important roles in the metabolic activation of benzo[a]pyrene to carcinogens and mutagens. 相似文献

Metabolism of 7-nitrobenz(a)anthracene (7-NO2-BA) by rat liver microsomes yielded 7-NO2-BA trans-3,4-dihydrodiol and 7-NO2-BA trans-8,9-dihydrodiol as major metabolites. Proton NMR spectral analyses indicate that 7-NO2-BA trans-3,4-dihydrodiol preferentially adopts a quasidiequatorial conformation and that 7-NO2-BA trans-8,9-dihydrodiol adopts a mixture of quasidiequatorial and quasidiaxial conformations. Circular dichroism spectral analyses of these compounds and their diacetoxy derivatives indicated that the major enantiomers of both dihydrodiols have R,R absolute stereochemistries. The identification of 7-NO2-BA trans-8,9-dihydrodiol as a metabolite of 7-NO2-BA indicates that oxidative metabolism can occur at position peri to the nitro substituent. 相似文献

Five metabolites produced by Cunninghamella elegans from fluoranthene (FA) in biotransformation studies were investigated for mutagenic activity towards Salmonella typhimurium TA100 and TA104. Whereas FA displayed positive, dose-related mutagenic responses in both tester strains in the presence of a rat liver homogenate fraction, 3-FA-beta-glucopyranoside, 3-(8-hydroxy-FA)-beta-glucopyranoside, FA trans-2,3-dihydrodiol, and 8-hydroxy-FA trans-2,3-dihydrodiol were negative. 9-Hydroxy-FA trans-2,3-dihydrodiol showed a weak positive response in S. typhimurium TA100. Mutagenicity assays performed with samples extracted at 24-h intervals during incubation of C. elegans with FA for 120 h showed that mutagenic activity decreased with time. Comparative studies with rat liver microsomes indicated that FA trans-2,3-dihydrodiol, the previously identified proximal mutagenic metabolite of FA, was the major metabolite. The circular dichroism spectrum of the rat liver microsomal FA trans-2,3-dihydrodiol indicated that it was optically active. In contrast, the circular dichroism spectrum of the fungal FA trans-2,3-dihydrodiol showed no optical activity. These results indicate that C. elegans has the potential to detoxify FA and that the stereochemistry of its trans-2,3-dihydrodiol metabolite reduces its mutagenic potential. 相似文献

Metabolism of resolved radioactive stereoisomer, [14C](+)-benzo-(a)pyrene-trans-7,8-dihydrodiol by highly purified soybean lipoxygenase plus linoleic acid was investigated. Trans-anti-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrotetrol, the product of hydrolytic breakdown of ultimate mutagenic benzo(a)pyrene-anti-7,8-dihydrodiol,9,10-epoxide, was detected as a major metabolite. The epoxidation, depended on the enzyme concentration and was inhibited by nordihydroguaiaretic acid. This study provides evidence on the ability of lipoxygenase to catalyze the epoxidation of benzo(a)pyrene-7,8-dihydrodiol. 相似文献

The white rot fungus Pleurotus ostreatus, grown for 11 days in basidiomycetes rich medium containing [14C] phenanthrene, metabolized 94% of the phenanthrene added. Of the total radioactivity, 3% was oxidized to CO2. Approximately 52% of phenanthrene was metabolized to trans-9,10-dihydroxy-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene (phenanthrene trans-9,10-dihydrodiol) (28%), 2,2'-diphenic acid (17%), and unidentified metabolites (7%). Nonextractable metabolites accounted for 35% of the total radioactivity. The metabolites were extracted with ethyl acetate, separated by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, and characterized by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, and UV spectroscopy analyses. 18O2-labeling experiments indicated that one atom of oxygen was incorporated into the phenanthrene trans-9,10-dihydrodiol. Circular dichroism spectra of the phenanthrene trans-9,10-dihydrodiol indicated that the absolute configuration of the predominant enantiomer was 9R,10R, which is different from that of the principal enantiomer produced by Phanerochaete chrysosporium. Significantly less phenanthrene trans-9,10-dihydrodiol was observed in incubations with the cytochrome P-450 inhibitor SKF 525-A (77% decrease), 1-aminobenzotriazole (83% decrease), or fluoxetine (63% decrease). These experiments with cytochrome P-450 inhibitors and 18O2 labeling and the formation of phenanthrene trans-9R,10R-dihydrodiol as the predominant metabolite suggest that P. ostreatus initially oxidizes phenanthrene stereoselectively by a cytochrome P-450 monoxygenase and that this is followed by epoxide hydrolase-catalyzed hydration reactions. 相似文献

The metabolism of the carcinogen benz[a]anthracene (BA), a tetracyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, by Cunninghamella elegans was investigated. C. elegans grown on Sabouraud dextrose broth transformed [14C]BA to labeled BA trans-8,9-dihydrodiol (90%), BA trans-10,11-dihydrodiol (6%), and BA trans-3,4-dihydrodiol (4%), but not to BA trans-5,6-dihydrodiol. These metabolites were separated by thin-layer chromatography and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and were identified by UV and mass spectral techniques. A BA tetraol, 8 beta,9 alpha,10 alpha,11 beta-tetrahydroxy-8 alpha, 9 beta,10 beta,11 alpha-tetrahydro-BA, was also identified as a metabolite and may have arisen as an additional oxidation product of either BA 8,9- or 10,11-dihydrodiol. This is the first study in which a biologically produced BA tetraol has been identified. Our results suggest that the transformation of BA to trans-dihydrodiols by C. elegans is similar to the transformation of BA found in mammals, except that BA 5,6-dihydrodiol is not produced. 相似文献

The fungus Cunninghamella elegans ATCC 36112 metabolized approximately 80% of the 3-14C-labeled fluoranthene (FA) added within 72 h of incubation. C. elegans metabolized FA to trans-2,3-dihydroxy-2,3-dihydrofluoranthene (trans-2,3-dihydrodiol), 8- and 9-hydroxyfluoranthene trans-2,3-dihydrodiol, 3-fluoranthene-beta-glucopyranoside, and 3-(8-hydroxyfluoranthene)-beta-glucopyranoside. These metabolites were separated by thin-layer and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and identified by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, UV, and mass spectral techniques. The major pathway involved hydroxylation to form a glucoside conjugate of 3-hydroxyfluoranthene and a glucoside conjugate of 3,8-dihydroxyfluoranthene which together accounted for 52% of the total ethyl acetate-soluble metabolites. C. elegans initially metabolized FA in the 2,3 position to form fluoranthene trans-2,3-dihydrodiol, which has previously been shown to be a biologically active compound in mammalian and bacterial genotoxicity tests. However, C. elegans formed predominantly glucoside conjugates of the phenolic derivatives of FA, which suggests that this fungus has the potential to detoxify FA. 相似文献

The degradation of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA), a carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, by cultures of Mycobacterium vanbaalenii PYR-1 was studied. When M. vanbaalenii PYR-1 was grown in the presence of DMBA for 136 h, high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis showed the presence of four ethyl acetate-extractable compounds and unutilized substrate. Characterization of the metabolites by mass and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry indicated initial attack at the C-5 and C-6 positions and on the methyl group attached to C-7 of DMBA. The metabolites were identified as cis-5,6-dihydro-5,6-dihydroxy-7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA cis-5,6-dihydrodiol), trans-5,6-dihydro-5,6-dihydroxy-7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA trans-5,6-dihydrodiol), and 7-hydroxymethyl-12-methylbenz[a]anthracene, suggesting dioxygenation and monooxygenation reactions. Chiral stationary-phase HPLC analysis of the dihydrodiols showed that DMBA cis-5,6-dihydrodiol had 95% 5S,6R and 5% 5R,6S absolute stereochemistry. On the other hand, the DMBA trans-5,6-dihydrodiol was a 100% 5S,6S enantiomer. A minor photooxidation product, 7,12-epidioxy-7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene, was also formed. The results demonstrate that M. vanbaalenii PYR-1 is highly regio- and stereoselective in the degradation of DMBA. 相似文献

It is possible to assay for trans-7,8-dihydroxy 7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]-pyrene (BP-7,8-dihydrodiol) in complex metabolite mixtures produced during microsomal metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene (BP) because only the BP-7,8-dihydrodiol metabolite will produce significant chemiluminescence (CL) in the NaOCl-H2O2 singlet oxygen-generating system. The limiting CL sensitivity is 30 pmol in a 1-ml CL reaction mixture. CL assays for BP-7,8-dihydrodiol in microsomal reaction solutions gave concentrations identical with those determined by calibrated high-performance liquid chromatography. 相似文献

Mycobacterium strain S1, originally described as Rhodococcus strain S1 by chemotaxonomic criteria, was isolated by growth on anthracene, and is unable to use any of nine other polycyclic aromatic compounds as carbon source. Metabolism of phenanthrene during growth on anthracene as sole carbon source results in the accumulation of traces of a dihydrodiol metabolite in the growth medium, which, by comparison with authentic standards, has been tentatively identified as phenanthrene trans-9,10-dihydrodiol. Anthracene metabolites were ruled out on the basis of comparisons with authentic anthracene dihydrodiols from Pseudomonas fluorescens D1 and chemically synthesized anthrols. The original source of phenanthrene for dihydrodiol production was phenanthrene present as a < 1% contaminant in the anthracene used as carbon source. However, addition of further phenanthrene to the anthracene growth medium increased the level of phenanthrene trans-9,10-dihydrodiol formed. Mycobacterium strain S1 also produced phenanthrene trans-9,10-dihydrodiol when grown in a glucose-salts medium in the presence of phenanthrene. This dihydrodiol is a dead-end metabolite, and neither it nor its parent hydrocarbon are able to support the growth of Mycobacterium strain S1. Studies with metyrapone and ancimidol, which did not inhibit growth on anthracene but did inhibit formation of phenanthrene trans-9,10-dihydrodiol, suggest it is likely the product of a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase-like activity. 相似文献

Under photoautotrophic growth conditions, the marine cyanobacterium Agmenellum quadruplicatum PR-6 metabolized phenanthrene to form trans-9,10-dihydroxy-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene (phenanthrene trans-9,10-dihydrodiol) and 1-methoxyphenanthrene as the major ethyl acetate-extractable metabolites. Small amounts of phenanthrols were also formed. The metabolites were purified by high-pressure liquid chromatography and identified from their UV, infrared, mass, and proton magnetic resonance spectral properties. A. quadruplicatum PR-6 formed phenanthrene trans-9,10-dihydrodiol with a 22% enantiomeric excess of the (-)-9S,10S-enantiomer. Incorporation experiments with 18O2 showed that one atom of oxygen from O2 was incorporated into the dihydrodiol. Toxicity studies, using an algal lawn bioassay, indicated that 9-phenanthrol and 9,10-phenanthrenequinone inhibit the growth of A. quadruplicatum PR-6. 相似文献

The initial metabolites in the degradation of pyrene, anthracene, fluorene, and dibenzothiophene by Pleurotus ostreatus were isolated by high-pressure liquid chromatography and characterized by UV-visible, gas-chromatographic, mass-spectrometric, and (sup1)H nuclear magnetic resonance spectral techniques. The metabolites from pyrene, dibenzothiophene, anthracene, and fluorene amounted to 45, 84, 64, and 96% of the total organic-solvent-extractable metabolites, respectively. Pyrene was metabolized predominantly to pyrene trans-4,5-dihydrodiol. Anthracene was metabolized predominantly to anthracene trans-1,2-dihydrodiol and 9,10-anthraquinone. In contrast, fluorene and dibenzothiophene were oxidized at the aliphatic bridges instead of the aromatic rings. Fluorene was oxidized to 9-fluorenol and 9-fluorenone; dibenzothiophene was oxidized to the sulfoxide and sulfone. Circular dichroism spectroscopy revealed that the major enantiomer of anthracene trans-1,2-dihydrodiol was predominantly in the S,S configuration and the major enantiomer of the pyrene trans-4,5-dihydrodiol was predominantly R,R. These results indicate that the white rot fungus P. ostreatus initially metabolizes polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by reactions similar to those previously reported for nonligninolytic fungi. However, P. ostreatus, in contrast to nonligninolytic fungi, can mineralize these polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The identity of the dihydrodiol metabolites implicates a cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase mechanism. 相似文献

Degradation of benzo[a]pyrene by Mycobacterium vanbaalenii PYR-1 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Metabolism of the environmental pollutant benzo[a]pyrene in the bacterium Mycobacterium vanbaalenii PYR-1 was examined. This organism initially oxidized benzo[a]pyrene with dioxygenases and monooxygenases at C-4,5, C-9,10, and C-11,12. The metabolites were separated by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and characterized by UV-visible, mass, nuclear magnetic resonance, and circular dichroism spectral analyses. The major intermediates of benzo[a]pyrene metabolism that had accumulated in the culture media after 96 h of incubation were cis-4,5-dihydro-4,5-dihydroxybenzo[a]pyrene (benzo[a]pyrene cis-4,5-dihydrodiol), cis-11,12-dihydro-11,12-dihydroxybenzo[a]pyrene (benzo[a]pyrene cis-11,12-dihydrodiol), trans-11,12-dihydro-11,12-dihydroxybenzo[a]pyrene (benzo[a]pyrene trans-11,12-dihydrodiol), 10-oxabenzo[def]chrysen-9-one, and hydroxymethoxy and dimethoxy derivatives of benzo[a]pyrene. The ortho-ring fission products 4-formylchrysene-5-carboxylic acid and 4,5-chrysene-dicarboxylic acid and a monocarboxylated chrysene product were formed when replacement culture experiments were conducted with benzo[a]pyrene cis-4,5-dihydrodiol. Chiral stationary-phase HPLC analysis of the dihydrodiols indicated that benzo[a]pyrene cis-4,5-dihydrodiol had 30% 4S,5R and 70% 4R,5S absolute stereochemistry. Benzo[a]pyrene cis-11,12-dihydrodiol adopted an 11S,12R conformation with 100% optical purity. The enantiomeric composition of benzo[a]pyrene trans-11,12-dihydrodiol was an equal mixture of 11S,12S and 11R,12R molecules. The results of this study, in conjunction with those of previously reported studies, extend the pathways proposed for the bacterial metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene. Our study also provides evidence of the stereo- and regioselectivity of the oxygenases that catalyze the metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene in M. vanbaalenii PYR-1. 相似文献

When benz[a] anthracene was oxidised in a reaction mixture containing ascorbic acid, ferrous sulphate and EDTA, the non-K-region dihydrodiols, trans-1,2-dihydro-1,2-dihydroxybenz[a] anthracene and trans-3,4-dihydro-3,4-dihydroxybenz[a] anthracene together with small amounts of the 8,9- and 10,11-dihydrodiols were formed. When oxidised in a similar system, 7,12-dimethylbenz[a] anthracene yielded the K-region dihydrodiol, trans-5,6-dihydro-5,6-dihydroxy-7,12-dimethylbenz[a] anthracene and the non-K-region dihydrodiols, trans-3,4-dihydro-3,4-dihydroxy-7,12-dimethylbenz[a] anthracene, trans-8,9-dihydro-8,9-dihydroxy-7,12-dimethylbenz[a] anthracene, trans-10,11-dihydro-10,11-dihydroxy-7,12-dimethylbenz[a] anthracene and a trace of the 1,2-dihydrodiol. The structures and sterochemistry of the dihydrodiols were established by comparisons of their UV spectra and chromatographic characteristics using HPLC with those of authentic compounds or, when no authentic compounds were available, by UV, NMR and mass spectral analysis. An examination by HPLC of the dihydrodiols formed in the metabolism, by rat-liver microsomal fractions, of benz[a] anthracene and 7,12-dimethylbenz[a] anthracene was carried out. The metabolic dihydriols were identified by comparisons of their chromatographic and UV or fluorescence spectral characteristics with compounds of known structures. The principle metabolic dihydriols formed from both benz[a] anthracene and 7,12-dimethylbenz[a] anthracene were the trans-5,6- and trans-8,9-dihydrodiols. The 1,2- and 10,11-dihydrodiols were identified as minor products of the metabolism of benz [a] anthracene and the tentative identification of the trans-3,4-dihydriol as a metabolite was made from fluorescence and chromatographic data. The minor metabolic dihydriols formed from 7,12-dimethylbenz[a] anthracene were the trans-3,4-dihydrodiol and the trans-10,11-dihydriol but the trans-1,2-dihydrodiol was not detected in the present study. 相似文献

The homogeneous 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.50) of rat liver cytosol is indistinguishable from dihydrodiol dehydrogenase (trans-1,2-dihydrobenzene-1,2-diol dehydrogenase EC 1.3.1.20), Penning, T. M., Mukharji, I., Barrows, S., and Talalay, P. (1984) Biochem. J. 222, 601-611). Examination of the substrate specificity of the purified dehydrogenase for trans-dihydrodiol metabolites of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons indicates that the enzyme will catalyze the NAD(P)-dependent oxidation of trans-dihydrodiols of benzene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, chrysene, 5-methylchrysene, and benzo[a]pyrene under physiological conditions. Comparison of the utilization ratios Vmax/Km indicates that benzenedihydrodiol and the trans-1,2- and trans-7,8-dihydrodiols of 5-methylchrysene were most efficiently oxidized by the purified dehydrogenase, followed by the trans-7,8-dihydrodiol of benzo[a]pyrene and the trans-1,2-dihydrodiols of phenanthrene, chrysene, and naphthalene. The purified enzyme appears to display rigid regio-selectivity, since it will readily oxidize non-K-region trans-dihydrodiols but will not oxidize the K-region trans-dihydrodiols of phenanthrene and benzo[a]pyrene. The stereochemical course of enzymatic dehydrogenation was investigated by circular dichroism spectrometry. For the trans-1,2-dihydrodiols of benzene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, chrysene, and 5-methylchrysene, the dehydrogenase preferentially oxidized the (+)-[S,S]-isomer. Apparent inversion of this stereochemical preference occurred with the trans-7,8-dihydrodiol of 5-methylchrysene, as the (-)-enantiomer was preferentially oxidized. No change in the sign of the Cotton Effect was observed following oxidation of the racemic trans-7,8-dihydrodiol of benzo[a]pyrene, suggesting that both stereoisomers of this compound were substrates. Large-scale incubation of the [3H]-(+/-)-trans-7,8-dihydrodiol of benzo[a]pyrene with the purified dehydrogenase resulted in greater than 90% utilization of this potent proximate carcinogen, suggesting that the enzyme utilizes both the (-)-[R,R] and the (+)-[S,S]-stereoisomers, which confirms the circular dichroism result. These data show that dihydrodiol dehydrogenase displays the appropriate regio- and stereospecificity to catalyze the oxidation of both the major and minor non-K-region trans-dihydrodiols that arise from the microsomal metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene in vivo. 相似文献

The metabolites of benzo[j]fluoranthene (BjF) as formed in vitro using the 9000 X g supernatant from Aroclor-pretreated rats have been identified. Two dihydrodiols, trans-4,5-dihydro-4,5-dihydroxyBjF and trans-9,10-dihydro-9,10-dihydroxyBjF have been identified as major metabolites by comparison of their spectral and chromatographic properties with those of pure synthetic standards. There was no evidence that any of the isomeric 2,3-dihydrodiol was formed as a metabolite of BjF under these incubation conditions. Neither of the metabolic dihydrodiols of BjF were formed with a high degree of stereoselectivity. The enantiomeric purity of the 4,5-dihydrodiol was 20% while that of the 9,10-dihydrodiol was 46%. At least four phenols were detected among the metabolites of BjF. These were identified as 3-, 4-, 6- and 10-hydroxyBjF based upon comparison of their UV spectra and HPLC retention times with those of synthetic reference standards. BjF-4,5-dione was also identified as a metabolite under these incubation conditions. 相似文献
