Metabolism and mutagenicity of dibenzo[a,e]pyrene and the very potent environmental carcinogen dibenzo[a,l]pyrene.

Abstract：

:Dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DB[a,l]P) is one of the most potent carcinogens ever tested in mouse skin and rat mammary gland. DB[a,l]P is present in cigarette smoke and, presumably, in other environmental pollutants. Metabolism and mutagenicity studies of this compound compared to the weak carcinogen dibenzo[a,e]pyrene (DB[a,e]P) can provide preliminary evidence on its mechanism of carcinogenesis. The mutagenicity of DB[a,l]P, DB[a,e]P, and benzo[a]pyrene (BP) was compared in the Ames assay with Aroclor-induced rat liver S-9. BP was the strongest mutagen. In strain TA100, DB[a,l]P and DB[a,e]P were marginally mutagenic. In strain TA98 both compounds were mutagenic, and DB[a,l]P induced more than twice as many revertants as DB[a,e]P. The mutagenicity of DB[a,l]P does not correlate with its carcinogenicity, since DB[a,l]P is a much stronger carcinogen, but a much weaker mutagen, than BP. The NADPH-supported metabolism of DB[a,e]P and DB[a,l]P was conducted with uninduced and 3-methylcholanthrene-induced rat liver microsomes. Metabolites were analyzed by reverse-phase HPLC and identified by NMR, UV, and mass spectrometry. Uninduced microsomes produced only traces of metabolites with either compound. The major metabolites of DB[a,l]P with induced microsomes were DB[a,l]P 8,9-dihydrodiol, DB[a,l]P 11,12-dihydrodiol, 7-hydroxyDB[a,l]P, and a DB[a,l]P dione. The metabolites of DB[a,e]P with induced microsomes were DB[a,e]P 3,4-dihydrodiol, 3-hydroxyDB[a,e]P, 7-hydroxyDB[a,e]P, and 9-hydroxyDB[a,e]P. Some of these metabolites are very useful in assessing possible pathways of activation in the initiation of cancer.
