Chemoprevention of cancer: phenolic antioxidants (BHT, BHA)   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
1. The synthetic phenolic antioxidants (e.g. BHT, BHA) added to human and animal food are able to lengthen the life of organisms and lower the incidence of cancer caused by chemical compounds. 2. On the other hand they may not be rendered completely harmless since they can cause lung damage (BHT) or promote the action of some carcinogens (BHA). 3. They could act as compounds preventing cancer either via interception of harmful free radicals, activating the detoxifying enzymes of the body, inhibiting the formation of ultimately carcinogenic metabolites and their binding to DNA, and modifying the immune response of the organism. 4. Their action is influenced by their own chemical structure, the composition of carcinogen, the strain, sex and age of experimental animals, the tissue upon which they are supposed to act and the time of their administration in relation to the time of the carcinogen insult. 5. These compounds are concentrated in adipose tissue, liver and kidney. They are excreted within tens of hours mainly in urine. 6. The acceptable daily intake of BHA is at present considered to be 0.6 mg kg-1 body wt day-1. In spite of their possible tumor-promoting properties they could not be considered overtly toxic. Their pronounced chemoprotective role against some forms of chemical carcinogenesis deserves considerable attention.  相似文献

Abstract

Visible-light photo-irradiation of the commercial phenolic antioxidants (PhAs) butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), in the presence of vitamin B2 (riboflavin, Rf), in methanolic solutions and under aerobic conditions, results in the photo-oxidation of the PhAs. The synthetic dye photosensitiser Rose Bengal was also employed for auxiliary experiments. With concentrations of riboflavin and PhAs of ca. 0.02 mM and < 1 mM, respectively, the excited triplet state of the vitamin (3Rf*) is quenched by BHT in a competitive fashion with dissolved ground state triplet oxygen. From the quenching of 3Rf*, the semireduced form of the pigment is generated through an electron transfer process from BHT, with the subsequent production of superoxide anion radical (O2??) by reaction with dissolved molecular oxygen. In parallel, the species singlet molecular oxygen, O2(1Δg), is also generated. Both reactive oxygen species produce the photodegradation of BHT. In the case of BHA, the lack of any effect exerted by superoxide dismutase drives out a significant participation of a O2??-mediated mechanism. BHA mainly interacts with O2(1Δg) and exhibits a desirable property as an antioxidant – a relatively high capacity for O2(1Δg) de-activation and a low photodegradation efficiency by the oxidative species. Electrochemical determinations support the proposed photodegradative mechanism.  相似文献

From the quenching of 3Rf*, the semireduced form of the pigment is generated through an electron transfer process from BHT, with the subsequent production of superoxide anion radical (O2*-) by reaction with dissolved molecular oxygen. In parallel, the species singlet molecular oxygen, O2(1delta(g)), is also generated. Both reactive oxygen species produce the photodegradation of BHT. In the case of BHA, the lack of any effect exerted by superoxide dismutase drives out a significant participation of a O2(*-)-mediated mechanism. BHA mainly interacts with O2(1delta(g)) and exhibits a desirable property as an antioxidant--a relatively high capacity for O2(1delta(g)) de-activation and a low photodegradation efficiency by the oxidative species.

The mutagenicity of 3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (BHA) and its metabolites was investigated in the reverse mutation assay using S. typhimurium strains and the chromosomal aberration test in vitro using a Chinese hamster fibroblast cell line, CHL. BHA, tert-butylhydroquinone (BHQ), tert-butylquinone (BQ) and BHA dimer (diBHA) did not show any mutagenic potential with and without S9 mix in the reverse mutation assay. In addition to the above 4 chemicals, 3-tert-butyl-4,5-dihydroxyanisole (BHA-OH), 3-tert-butylanisole-4,5-quinone (BHA-o-Q), and tert-butylquinone oxide (BQO) were tested in the chromosomal aberration test. BHA, BHQ and BQ induced chromosomal aberrations only in the presence of S9 mix, while BHA-OH, BHA-o-Q and BQO induced chromosomal aberrations only without S9 mix. DiBHA, however, showed no clastogenic potential with and without S9 mix. The present findings suggest that BHA-OH, BHA-o-Q or BQO may contribute to the clastogenicity of BHA in the presence of S9 mix.  相似文献

Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) were used to determine any effects on the N-acetyltransferase (NAT) activity in rat whole blood and white blood cells as measured by high performance liquid chromatography assay for the amounts of N-acetyl-2-aminofluorene (AAF) and 2-aminofluorene (AF). Two assay systems were performed, one with cellular cytosols, the other with intact white blood cells. The NAT activity in the whole blood and white blood cell cytosols was suppressed by BHA and BHT in a dose-dependent manner, i.e. the higher the concentrations of BHA and BHT, the higher the inhibition of NAT activity. Time-course experiments showed that NAT activity measured from the intact white blood cells was inhibited by BHA and BHT up to 24 h. The results suggest that BHA and BHT suppressed AF acetylation in rat blood with intact white blood cells.  相似文献

In aqueous medium etiolated wheat seedlings release superoxide anion ( ). Interaction of a synthetic antioxidant, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT, ionol), with oxygen in the aqueous medium is accompanied by formation. This suggests that under certain conditions BHT behaves as a prooxidant. A natural antioxidant, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and also a wound healing preparation, emulsified denatured placenta (EDP), do not exhibit the prooxidant properties. In contrast to BHT, they reduce production by the etiolated wheat seedling system.  相似文献

To clarify the radical-scavenging activity of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), a food additive, stoichiometric factors (n) and inhibition rate constants (kinh) were determined for 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT) and its metabolites 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-benzoquinone (BHT-Q), 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (BHA-CHO) and 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroperoxy-4-methyl-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1-one (BHT-OOH). Values of n and kinh were determined from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) monitoring of the polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) initiated by 2,2′-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) or benzoyl peroxide (BPO) at 70 °C in the presence or absence of antioxidants (BHT-related compounds). The n values declined in the order BHT (1–2) > BHT-CHO, BHT-OOH (0.1–0.3) > BHT-Q (0). The n value for BHT with AIBN was approximately 1.0, suggesting dimerization of BHT. The kinh values declined in the order BHT-Q ((3.5–4.6)×104 M−1 s−1) > BHT-OOH (0.7–1.9×104 M−1 s−1) > BHT-CHO ((0.4–1.7)×104 M−1 s−1) > BHT ((0.1–0.2)×104 M−1 s−1). The kinh for metabolites was greater than that for the parent BHT. Growing MMA radicals initiated by BPO were suppressed much more efficiently by BHT or BHT-Q compared with those initiated by AIBN. BHT was effective as a chain-breaking antioxidant.  相似文献

Adenine derivatives having a p-nitrophenyl group at position 2, 8, or 9 were directly mutagenic towards Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100, whereas N6-(p-nitrophenyl)adenine was not mutagenic. 2,9- And 8,9-bis-(p-nitrophenyl)adenines were also mutagenic, but N6,9-bis-(p-nitrophenyl)adenine was not. The study on 13 (p-nitrophenyl)adenine derivatives for their Salmonella mutagenicity indicates that only those having a p-nitrophenyl ring directly linked to the purine ring are mutagenic, implying the importance of the coplanar character of the nitrophenyl and the purine rings. The nitro group seems essential for the mutagenicity, as shown from the results of assays using nitroarene-sensitive and -insensitive Salmonella strains. The mutagenic potency of this class of compounds is high, comparable to that of 2-nitrofluorene.  相似文献

Human fibroblast interferon (HuIFN-beta) was studied for mutagenicity using the Ames method and in vitro cytogenetics. HuIFN-beta had no mutagenic effect on S. typhimurium (TA1535, TA1537, TA1538, TA98 and TA100) and E. coli (WP2 uvrA) at concentrations of 3, 30, 300, 3000, 30 000 or 300 000 IU/plate. In the cytogenetic study, HuIFN-beta had no clastogenic effect on human peripheral blood lymphocytes at concentrations of 3, 30, 300, 3000, or 30 000 IU/ml. These results suggest that HuIFN-beta has no mutagenic potential.  相似文献

The recent finding that the clinical nitrovasodilator, glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), is mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA1535 has been examined in closer detail, with emphasis on its mechanism of action. GTN increased the number of His+ revertants to a maximum of 4 times over background at a GTN dose of 5 μmol/plate. Hamster liver S9 depressed the toxicity of high GTN doses and increased the maximum number of revertants to 5 times over background at 10 μmol/plate. GTN did not cause significant reversion in any of the six other S. typhimurium strains tested (TA1975, TA102, TA1538, TA100, TA100NR, YG1026), although signs of toxicity were observed. Therefore, the mutagenicity of GTN was manifest only in the repair-deficient (uvrB and lacking in pKM101) strain which is responsive to single base changes. Oligonucleotide probe hybridization of TA1535 revertants showed that virtually all of the GTN-induced mutants contained C → T transitions in either the first or second base of the hisG46 (CCC) target codon, with a preference for the latter. A similar mutational spectrum was seen previously with a complex of spermine and nitric oxide (NO) which releases nitric oxide. This suggests that NO, which can be derived from GTN via metabolic reduction, may be responsible for GTN's mutagenic action. The known NO scavenger oxymyoglobin did not substantially alter the dose response of GTN, indicating that extracellular NO was not mediating reversion. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that intracellular nitric oxide is responsible for the observed mutations.  相似文献

A unique multibranched cyclomaltooligosaccharide (cyclodextrin, CD) of 6(1),6(3),6(5)-tri-O-alpha-maltosyl-cyclomaltoheptaose [6(1),6(3),6(5)-tri-O-alpha-maltosyl-beta-cyclodextrin, (G(2))(3)-betaCD] was prepared. The physicochemical and biological properties of (G(2))(3)-betaCD were determined together with those of monobranched CDs (6-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-alpha-cyclodextrin (G(1)-alphaCD), 6-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-beta-cyclodextrin (G(1)-betaCD), and 6-O-alpha-maltosyl-beta-cyclodextrin (G(2)-betaCD)). NMR spectra of (G(2))(3)-betaCD were measured using various 2D NMR techniques. The solubility of (G(2))(3)-betaCD in water and MeOH-water solutions was extremely high in comparison with nonbranched betaCD and was about the same as that of the other monobranched betaCDs. The formation of an inclusion complex of (G(2))(3)-betaCD with stereoisomers (estradiol, retinoic acid, quinine, citral, and glycyrrhetinic acid) depends on the cis-trans isomers of guest compounds. The cis isomers of estradiol, retinoic acid, and glycyrrhetinic acid were included more than their trans isomers, while the trans isomers of citral and quinine fit more tightly than their cis isomers. (G(2))(3)-betaCD was the most effective host compound in the cis-trans resolution of glycyrrhetinic acid. Among the branched betaCDs, (G(2))(3)-betaCD exhibited the weakest hemolytic activity in human erythrocytes and showed negligible cytotoxicity in Caco-2 cells up to 200 microM. These results indicate unique characteristics of (G(2))(3)-betaCD in some biological responses of cultured cells.  相似文献

Summary The serum groups Gm(1) [Gm(a)], Gm(2) [Gm(x)], Gm(4) [Gm(f)]. Gm(12) [Gm(b)] and Inv(1) [Inv(1)] of 2000 sera of healthy blood donors from the land Hesse were examined. The results obtained were compared with those known until now. Three persons, not related to each other, possessed the extremely rare phenotype Gm(-1, 2, 4, 12) [Gm (a-x+b+f+)]. In 0.75% of the cases we found a discordant behaviour of the factors Gm(4) and Gm(12) [Gm(f) and Gm(b)].

Various alkyl-(omega-hydroxyalkyl) derivatives related to dibutylnitrosamine (DBN) were investigated for mutagenicity in the absence of liver-activation system. Butyl-(4-hydroxybutyl)-, butyl-(3-hydroxypropyl)-, and butyl-(2-hydroxyethyl)-nitrosamines were so tested and found to be mutagenic for TA 1535 strain of Salmonella typhimurium. In all cases, a simple dose-response relationship was observed. Furthermore, no significant (p less than 0.05) differences in the mutagenicity of the various test compounds were observed as the alkyl sidechain possessing the OH group increased in length. From these results it is siggested that mutagenesis in S. typhimurium by the higher dialkylnitrosamines is partially due to the formation of omega-hydroxylated derivatives in addition to the major mutagenic metabolite derived from alpha-carbon dealkylation.  相似文献
