6 aromatic glycidyl ethers containing naphthyl, biphenyl or benzylphenyl substituents were synthesized. These epoxides together with the commercially available compounds 2-biphenylyl glycidyl ether were examined for dose-mutagenicity relationships using the plate incorporation Ames test with Salmonella typhimurium strains TA100 and TA1535. Structure-mutagenicity relationships were further examined for these compounds and 3 phenyl glycidyl ethers by concurrent testing at a single dose with strain TA100. Meaningful correlations could not be established for the mutagenicity of these epoxides to their molecular volumes, partition values, nor to their reactivities with the model nucleophile, 4-(4-nitrobenzyl) pyridine. However, it was noted that increased conjugated aromatic unsaturation with its resulting planarity led to increased mutagenicity and that this effect decreased when it was further removed from the epoxide moiety.  相似文献

Sister-chromatid exchange (SCE) and chromosome aberrations (CA) in bone marrow cells were analyzed after in vivo exposure in mice to 4 aliphatic epoxides, namely 1-naphthyl glycidyl ether (NGE), 1-naphthyl propylene oxide (NPO), 4-nitrophenyl glycidyl ether (NPGE) and trichloropropylene oxide (TCPO). These compounds were selected as being among the most mutagenic aliphatic epoxides in our previous structure-mutagenicity studies with the Ames test. There were significant dose-related increases in SCE and CA results for all 4 epoxides. The order of genotoxicity as established through SCE was NGE greater than NPO greater than NPGE approximately equal to TCPO greater than solvent control. It is of interest that Ames Salmonella results are consistent with in vivo genotoxicity for these compounds. However, only the plate test version of the Ames procedure is consistent with this order of in vivo genotoxicity and neither preincubation Ames testing results nor chemical alkylation rates would have predicted this order.  相似文献

Comparative mutagenicity of aliphatic epoxides in Salmonella   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
37 aliphatic epoxides comprising 6 subclasses (unsubstituted aliphatic epoxides, halogenated aliphatic epoxides, glycidyl esters, glycidates, glycidyl ethers and diglycidyl ethers) were tested, under code, for mutagenicity in Salmonella strains TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 and/or TA97 with and without metabolic activation using a standardized protocol. The 4 halogenated aliphatic epoxides and the 4 diglycidyl ethers were all mutagenic. The 2 glycidates were negative in all strain/activation systems used while all 5 glycidyl esters were mutagenic. 3 of the 8 unsubstituted aliphatic epoxides and 11 of the 12 glycidyl ethers were mutagenic. Glycidol also was mutagenic whereas 9,10-epoxyoctadecanoic acid, 2-ethylhexyl ester was not mutagenic. Of the 28 mutagenic compounds, all but neodecanoic acid, 2,3-epoxypropyl ester and 2-ethylhexyl glycidyl ether were detected in TA100 without activation. The latter two were detected only with activation in TA100 and TA1535. The majority of the other 26 chemicals were also mutagenic in TA1535 without activation. Good intra- and interlaboratory reproducibility was seen in the results of each of the 4 chemicals tested in more than one set of experiments. The current results confirm and extend the observations of other investigators regarding structural effects on the mutagenicity of members of the aliphatic epoxide class of chemicals.  相似文献

The detoxication of the enantiomers of glycidyl 4-nitrophenyl ether (GNPE), (?)-(R)- and (+)-(S)-GNPE, and glycidyl 1-naphthyl ether (GNE), (?)-(R)- and (+)-(S)-GNE, by rat liver glutathione transferase and epoxide hydrolase was studied. Enantioselectivity was observed with both enzymes favoring the (R)-isomers as determined by the formation of conjugate, diol, and remaining substrate measured by HPLC. Enantiomers of GNE were detoxified by cytosolic epoxide hydrolase but those of GNPE were not. Substantial nonenzymatically formed conjugates of enantiomers of GNPE were detected showing (S)-GNPE the more reactive of the pair. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.  相似文献

The (R)- and (S)-optical isomers of 9 epoxides, benzyloxymethyloxirane, epichlorohydrin, glycidol, glycidyl 3-nitrobenzenesulfonate, glycidyl 4-nitrobenzoate, glycidyl tosylate, styrene oxide, glycidyl 1-naphthyl ether and glycidyl 4-nitrophenyl ether, have been compared for their in vivo and in vitro genotoxicity. The in vitro short-term test employed was the Ames mutagenicity assay with Salmonella strain TA100. The in vivo tests were chromosomal aberrations (CA) as well as sister-chromatid exchange (SCE) in bone-marrow cells of mice following intraperitoneal administration of these epoxides. Differences in mutagenicity between isomers were established with TA100 for all the compounds. While 13 of the isomers were genotoxic compared to a negative control by CA measurements, only in the case of glycidyl 4-nitrobenzoate could a significant difference be found between isomers by this test. However, with SCE evaluations, differences were detected between the (R)- and (S)-isomers for all the pairs of compounds with the exception of those for benzyloxymethyloxirane and glycidyl 4-nitrophenyl ether. At least in part, differences in the patterns of genotoxicity among compounds can be related to their differences in reaction pathways.  相似文献

The mutagenicity of tetrachloroethene (tetra) and its S conjugate, S-(1,2,2-trichlorovinyl)glutathione (TCVG) was investigated using a modified Ames preincubation assay. TCVG was a potent mutagen in presence of rat kidney particulate fractions containing high concentrations of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) and dipeptidases. Purified tetra was not mutagenic without exogenous metabolic activation or under conditions favoring oxidative metabolism. Preincubation of tetra with purified rat liver glutathione (GSH) S-transferases in presence of GSH and rat kidney fractions resulted in a time-dependent formation of TCVG as determined by (HPLC) analysis and in an unequivocal mutagenic response in the Ames test. Experiments with tetra in the isolated perfused rat liver demonstrated TCVG formation and its excretion with the bile; bile collected after the addition of tetra to the isolated perfused liver was unequivocally mutagenic in bacteria in the presence of kidney particulate fractions. The mutagenicity was reduced in all cases by the GGT inhibitor serine borate or the β-lyase inhibitor aminooxyacetic acid. These results support the suggestion that cleavage of the GSH S conjugate formed from tetra by the enzymes of the mercapturic acid pathway and by β-lyase may be involved in the nephrocarcinogenic effects of this haloalkene in rats.  相似文献

A methodology is evaluated for the use in the Ames assay of a microsomal metabolising system derived from villous tip cells of rat small intestine. The procedure involved high frequency vibration of everted gut segments followed by gentle lysis and homogenisation. This technique, which has previously been shown to result routinely in high levels of cytochrome P450 and linked enzymes, has now been investigated for its ability to yield preparations capable of activating several promutagens in the Salmonella/plate incorporation test. The data obtained have been compared with results observed with standard rat liver metabolising fractions. In the presence of intestinal microsomes, 2-aminoanthracene, 2-aminofluorene, 2-acetylaminofluorene, aflatoxin B1, benzo[a]pyrene and cyclophosphamide all caused dose-related increases in revertants, the maximum yields of which were lower than those detected with liver microsomes or S9 mix. These and other differences in dose-responses have been discussed in relation to the levels of microsomal protein and cytochrome P450 plated and with respect to the activities of relevant enzymes in the tissue extracts.  相似文献

The lethal and mutagenic effects of ethyl, benzyl, 1-naphthylmethyl, 2-naphthylmethyl, 1-naphthylethyl, 2-naphthylethyl and 9-anthrylmethyl glycidyl ethers on Salmonella typhimurium (TA100, TA1535, TA98 and TA1538) were investigated. LD30-value became smaller with an increase in compound hydrophobicity. The mutagenicities of these compounds in TA100 increased in the order: 1-naphthylethyl glycidyl ether less than 2-naphthylethyl glycidyl ether less than benzyl glycidyl ether less than 2-naphthylmethyl glycidyl ether less than 1-naphthylmethyl glycidyl ether less than 9-anthrylmethyl glycidyl ether. 1-Naphthylmethyl and 2-naphthylmethyl glycidyl ethers were mutagenic toward TA1535. In TA98, 1-naphthylmethyl and 9-anthrylmethyl glycidyl ethers showed mutagenic activity and 9-anthrylmethyl glycidyl ether was more mutagenic than 1-naphthylmethyl glycidyl ether. 9-Anthrylmethyl glycidyl ether was also active in TA1538. In the reaction of glycidyl ethers with deoxyguanosine and related compounds, glycidyl ethers attacked at only N-7 of guanine. The alkylation rates of glycidyl ethers toward guanine residues in DNA were determined and the exciplex-formation ability of 7-substituted guanines was studied. The reactivity of glycidyl ethers with guanine residues in DNA has not provided a sufficient explanation for the variation in mutagenic potencies of glycidyl ethers.  相似文献

In the present study, the enzymatic conjugation of the isoprene monoepoxides 3,4 epoxy-3-methyl-1-butene (EPOX-I) and 3,4-epoxy-2-methyl-1-butene (EPOX-II) with glutathione was investigated, using purified glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) of the alpha, mu, pi and theta-class of rat and man. HPLC analysis of incubations of EPOX-I and EPOX-II with [35S]glutathione (GSH) showed the formation of two radioactive fractions for each isoprene monoepoxide. The structures of the EPOX-I and EPOX-II GSH conjugates were elucidated with 1H-NMR analysis. As expected, two sites of conjugation were found for both isoprene epoxides. EPOX-II was conjugated more efficiently than EPOX-I. In addition, the mu and theta class glutathione S-transferases were much more efficient than the alpha and pi class glutathione S-transferases, both for rat and man. Because the mu- and theta-class glutathione S-transferases are expressed in about 50 and 40-90% of the human population, respectively, this may have significant consequences for the detoxification of isoprene monoepoxides in individuals who lack these enzymes. Rat glutathione S-transferases were more efficient than human glu tathione S-transferases: rat GST T1-1 showed about 2.1-6.5-fold higher activities than human GST T1-1 for the conjugation of both EPOX-I and EPOX-II, while rat GST M1-1 and GST M2-2 showed about 5.2-14-fold higher activities than human GST M1a-1a. Most of the glutathione S-transferases showed first order kinetics at the concentration range used (50-2000 microM). In addition to differences in activities between GST-classes, differences between sites of conjugation were found. EPOX-I was almost exclusively conjugated with glutathione at the C4-position by all glutathione S-transferases, with exception of rat GST M1-1, which also showed significant conjugation at the C3-position. This selectivity was not observed for the conjugation of EPOX-II. Incubations with EPOX-I and EPOX-II and hepatic S9 fractions of mouse, rat and man, showed similar rates of GSH conjugation for mouse and rat. Compared to mouse and rat, human liver S9 showed a 25-50-fold lower rate of GSH conjugation.  相似文献

The mutagenicity of a series of 13 epoxide compounds was studied using a bacterial plate assay system. The histidine-dependent tester strains TA98 (for frameshift mutagens) and TA100 (for base-pair substitution mutagens) of Salmonella typhimurium were used. Mutagenicity was evaluated both with and without the additon of rat liver microsomal extract. Dieldrin, diglycidyl ether of bis phenol A and 3 of its homologues were not mutagenic. Allyl glycidyl ether, n-butyl glycidyl ether, vinly cyclohexene diepoxide, glycidol, glycidal-dehyde, diglycidyl ether, diepoxybutane and diglycidyl ether of substituted glycerine were mutagenic in the TA100 strain, causing reversion of the bacteria to histidine independence. Dose-reponse curves of the mutagenicity of the latter 4 compounds were obtained. On a molar basis, glycidaldehyde was about 20-50 times more potent in producing mutation that were the other 3 epoxides in the dose-response test. In general, the mutagenicity of the epoxides was not enhanced or diminished by the addition of microsomal extract.  相似文献

The genotoxicity of 51 epoxides is studied with the SOS-Chromotest using Escherichia coli PQ37 as tester strain. The results obtained with this test system are compared with results of the Ames test. Out of 51 epoxides, 39 are shown to be mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium whereas only 27 mutagenic epoxides induced the SOS response in Escherichia coli PQ37.  相似文献

Eight anthelmintic preparations readily available in Australia were tested for mutagenicity in the Salmonella typhimurium test system. A slightly modified version of the procedure recommended by Ames et al. [2] was adopted, in that the test samples were placed in "wells" cut out of the agar of a plate previously seeded with the appropriate tester strain. Addition of a mixture of rat liver microsomal enzymes and appropriate co-factors ("S-9 mix") to one of the two wells on a single plate allowed a possible requirement for metabolic activation to be recognised. Using this procedure, viprynium embonate was found to be non-mutagenic. It was however, activated by the rat liver microsome preparation to a mutagen capable of causing both base-pair substitution (detected with strain TA100) and frameshift (detected with strain TA98) mutations. The other seven compounds tested all gave negative results in this system.  相似文献

Salmonella typhimurium strains which are commonly used in the Ames test for screening potential carcinogens were examined for a number of drug-metabolizing systems. Neither cytochrome P-450 itself nor two activities catalyzed by the cytochrome P-450 system in mammalian cells, i.e., benzpyrene monooxygenase and ethoxycoumarin O-deethylation, could be detected. Nor do these bacterial strains demonstrate any ability to detoxify epoxides by hydrating them or to conjugate p-nitrophenol with glucuronic acid.On the other hand, S. typhimurium strains G46, TA1535, TA100, TA1538 and TA98 contain considerable amounts of acid-soluble thiols, approx. 5–10% of which is glutathione. These bacteria can also enzymatically conjugate glutathione with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) and can reduce oxidized glutathione using NADPH as cofactor.Thus, enzymatic and non-enzymatic reaction of immediate carcinogens with thiol groups in S. typhimurium may have a significant effect on the outcome of the Ames test in certain cases.  相似文献

Genotoxic effects and chemical compositions of four creosotes.   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Four creosotes used in Finland for impregnating wood were tested in the Ames Salmonella test, the SCE test and the SOS chromotest. Compounds volatile at 37 degrees C were assayed using the taped plate testing protocol. The creosotes were fractionated according to their natural boiling ranges and the fractions were tested in the Ames Salmonella assay. Chemical compositions of creosotes and fractions were determined by high resolution gas chromatography/mass spectrophotometry techniques and by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography. Mutagenic activities were shown to reside in fractions having the highest boiling point ranges (greater than 290 degrees C). The concentrations of mutagenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in creosotes and in some of their corresponding distillation fractions, when compared with mutagenic activities, indicated synergistic or antagonistic interactions.  相似文献

Two in vitro tests (Ames test and SOS chromotest), one for bacterial mutagenicity and one for primary DNA damage, were assayed to determine the genotoxic activity of 6 pesticides (atrazine, captafol, captan, chlorpyrifosmethyl, molinate and tetrachlorvinphos). Assays were carried out both in the absence and presence of S9 fractions of liver homogenate from rat (Sprague–Dawley) pretreated with Aroclor 1254. Captan and captafol were genotoxic on both the Ames test and the SOS chromotest. Comparisons with mutagenesis data in Salmonella indicated that the SOS assay detected as genotoxic the pesticides that were mutagenic on the Salmonella test. Non-genotoxic effects were not detected in vitro either in the Salmonella/microsome assay nor in the SOS chromotest when bacterial tester strains were exposed to atrazine, molinate, chlorpyrifosmethyl and tetrachlorvinphos in the absence or presence of S9 mix.  相似文献

The mutagenic potential of riboflavin and its photodegradation product lumiflavin was evaluated using the umu test, SOS chromotest and Ames Salmonella assay. Both riboflavin and lumiflavin by themselves were found to be non-mutagenic. On treatment with rat liver microsomal enzymes (S9) or caecal cell-free extract (CCE), lumiflavin acquired mutagenicity, while the status of riboflavin remained unaffected. Activation of lumiflavin by metabolic enzymes was found to result in an alteration of its spectral characteristics.  相似文献

Biodegradation of Glycidol and Glycidyl Nitrate   总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0       下载免费PDF全文
When calcium hydroxide is used to desensitize glycerol trinitrate (nitroglycerine)-containing waste streams, the epoxides glycidol and glycidyl nitrate are formed. The epoxide rings of both compounds are unstable to heat in aqueous solutions, and they open to form glycerol 1-mononitrate and presumably glycerol. These transformations were accelerated by microbial activity. Glycerol 1-mononitrate was slowly denitrated to form glycerol. Glycidol and glycidyl nitrate caused base-pair substitutions in the Ames test for mutagenicity, whereas glycerol 1-mononitrate tests were negative.  相似文献

Epoxide hydrolase and glutathione S-transferase activities toward trans- and cis-stilbene oxides were measured in 3 strains of Drosophila melanogaster. Differences in age dependence, substrate selectivity and subcellular location were detected suggesting the presence of multiple forms of these enzymes. In addition, interstrain differences indicate the presence of genetic variation for epoxide hydrolase and glutathione transferase activities. These results illustrate a potential use of these assays in D. melanogaster to complement existing tests (e.g. recessive lethal tests or Ames assays) for evaluating the relationship between epoxide hydrolase and glutathione S-transferase levels and the genotoxicity of epoxides.  相似文献

1. The metabolism of 4-ethynylbiphenyl has been studied in vitro with subcellular fractions of normal and induced rat liver, and rat intestinal microflora (caecal contents). 2. Oxidation was NADPH-dependent, was inhibited by CO and stimulated by pretreatment with phenobarbitone or 3-methylcholanthrene. 3. Oxidation of the ethynyl group occurred in washed microsomal preparations, but not significantly in soluble fractions. Oxidation of the ethynyl group by a microsomal fraction preceded aromatic hydroxylation and no metabolites containing the intact ethynyl group were detected. 4. The major metabolite in liver fractions was biphenyl-4-ylacetic acid. This was the only product produced by a modified Udenfriend system. 5. Metabolism of 4-ethynylbiphenyl by rat caecal contents under anaerobic conditions produced very small amounts of 4-vinylbiphenyl. 6. In a modified Ames test with Salmonella typhimurium TA98, 4-ethynylbiphenyl gave a weak positive result that was doubled after 'activation' with an induced rat S9 fraction.  相似文献
