Abstract
To evaluate the predictive value of serum antipyrine half-life AP(T1/2) as an index of hepatic carcinogen metabolism, groups of C57BL/6 and DBA/2 mice were treated with various inducers and inhibitors of cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenases (pregnenolone-16 alpha-carbonitrile (PCN), phenobarbital (PB), 5,6-benzoflavone (5,6-BF), 3-methylcholanthrene (MC), disulfiram (DIS), 7,8-BF). Groups of mice were also given ethanol (3% in drinking water) for 12 days. Within each group, mean serum AP-(T1/2) was compared with (i) the in vitro activity of hepatic microsomal benzo[alpha]pyrene (BP) 3-hydroxylase, 2-acetylaminofluorene (AAF)-N-hydroxylase and aldrin monooxygenase, and (ii) the liver S9-mediated mutagenicity of aflatoxin B1 (AFB), trans-7,8-dihydro-7,8-dihydroxybenzo[alpha]pyrene (BP 7,8-diol), 2-acetylaminofluorene and N-nitrosomorpholine (NMOR) in Salmonella typhimurium strains. Serum AP(T1/2) was only correlated negatively with the activity of BP 3-hydroxylase (P less than 0.001) and aldrin monooxygenase (P less than 0.001). No statistically significant correlation was found between serum AP(T1/2) and liver S9-mediated mutagenicity for any of the four carcinogens. On the basis of these results, we conclude that serum AP(T1/2) may not be a reliable index of the capacity of liver to convert carcinogens into reactive intermediates.
