    Notes: Zusammenfassung Der retrograde axonale Transport wurde als Methode zur Kartographie von Neuronen bei der Ratte verwendet. Mit Evansblau gekuppeltem Albumin konnten Karten der Perikaria von Neuronen, welche Muskeln der Vorderextremität der Ratte innervieren, angefertigt werden. Die Ergebnisse stimmen mit denen aus Chromatolyse-Versuchen erhaltenen überein.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Mikrosomale Monooxygenasen oxidieren olefinische und aromatische Stoffe zu Epoxiden, mikrosomale Epoxidhydratase und zytoplasmatische Glutathion-S-Transferasen setzen diese Epoxide weiter um. Obwohl katalytisch sehr aktiv, spielen zytoplasmatische Glutathion-S-Transferasen aufgrund ihrer subzellulären Lokalisierung nur eine untergeordnete Rolle bei der Inaktivierung von Epoxiden, die von großen lipophilen Substanzen gebildet werden, und wurden daher in dieser Studie nicht untersucht. Mit Benzo(a)pyren als Modellsubstanz und mit Leberenzym-vermittelter bakterieller Mutagenese als biologischem Endpunkt wurde gezeigt, daß sich Spezies- und Stammesunterschiede von Epoxidhydratase und Monooxygenasen sehr massiv in der Mutagenität widerspiegeln: Je nach Herkunft des aktivierenden Leberpräparates wird für Benzo(a)pyren eine äußerst starke oder eine verschwindend geringe, durchaus übersehbare Mutagenität beobachtet. Um festzustellen, ob die Unterschiede in den Enzymaktivitäten mit den beobachteten Unterschieden der Mutagenität kausal zusammenhängen, wurden die Enzymaktivitäten durch Inhibition und Induktion manipuliert. Diese Manipulationen hatten in jedem Falle entsprechende Veränderungen der Mutagenität zur Folge. Es wird geschlossen, daß Tierarten wie die Maus, die eine hohe Monooxygenase- und eine sehr niedrige Epoxidhydratase-Aktivität aufweisen, viel anfälliger sind als der Mensch für solche toxischen Wirkungen, welche durch metabolisch gebildete Epoxide verursacht werden, die durch Epoxidhydratase inaktiviert werden. In dieser Hinsicht ist erwähnenswert, daß Mäuse eine sehr viel geringere Epoxidhydratase-Aktivität aufweisen als der Mensch.
    Notes: Abstract Microsomal monooxygenases catalyze the biosynthesis of epoxides from olefinic and aromatic compounds whilst microsomal epoxide hydratase and cytoplasmic glutathione S-transferases are responsible for their further biotransformation. Although catalytically very efficient the cytoplasmic glutathione S-transferases play, due to their subcellular localization, a minor role in the inactivation of epoxides derived from large lipophilic compounds and were, therefore, not included in this study. It was shown with such a lipophilic compound, benzo(a)pyrene, as a model substance and with liver enzyme mediated bacterial mutagenesis as biological endpoint that species and strain differences in epoxide hydratase and monooxygenases are reflected in very dramatic differences in mutagenicity of benzo(a)pyrene which varied from extremely potent to a degree which could easily be overlooked. In order to investigate whether the differences in enzyme activities were causally linked to the observed differences in mutagenicity, the enzyme activities were modulated by inhibition and induction. These manipulations were always accompanied by the corresponding changes in mutagenicity. It is concluded that species such as mice which possess high monooxygenase activity but very low epoxide hydratase activity are much more susceptible than man to those toxic effects which are mediated by metabolically formed epoxides which are substrates of epoxide hydratase. In this regard, it is especially noteworthy that mice possess a much lower hepatic epoxide hydratase activity than man.

    Notes: Abstract trans-Stilbene imine (trans-1,2-diphenylaziridine) is the nitrogen analog of trans-stilbene oxide, a potent inducer of several microsomal and cytosolic xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes. Although the acute toxicity of cis- and trans-stilbene imines prevents their application at the usual dose for trans-stilbene oxide (400 mg/kg/day), it is apparent that the imines nevertheless potently induce several xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes in rat liver. The IP administration of trans-stilbene imine resulted in statistically significant increases in the activities of aminopyrine N-demethylase, microsomal epoxide hydrolase, glutathione transferase (toward 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, 1,2-dichloro-4-nitrobenzene and Δ5-androstene-3,17-dione) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (toward testoster-one). cis-Stilbene imine was less potent in inducing these activities. Although trans-stilbene imine (total dose = 400 mg/kg) was more potent than trans-stilbene oxide (total dose = 1200 mg/kg) in inducing the activities of glutathione transferase (toward 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (toward testosterone), both compounds belong to the class of substances which are more potent inducers of conjugating (phase II) enzymes. Because of their structural similarity with K-region arene imines which are potent mutagens, cis-stilbene imine and trans-stilbene imine were investigated for mutagenicity (reversion of his − strains of Salmonella typhimurium). cis-Stilbene imine and trans-stilbene imine were direct mutagens in the strain TA100. This result, and the finding that acenaphthene 1,2-imine efficiently reverts various strains of Salmonella typhimurium, demonstrates that not only K-region arene imines, but also other aziridines substituted at the two carbons with aromatic moieties, are mutagenic.

    Notes: Summary N-nitrodimethylamine is metabolized oxidatively to N-nitrohydroxymethylmethylamine, which decomposes to yield formaldehyde and N-nitromethylamine. All four compounds and N-nitroethylamine were tested for their ability to induce DNA single strand breaks in hepatocytes and in SV 40-transformed Chinese hamster embryo cell lines. Only the two monoalkylnitramines were positive. They induced single strand breaks in hepatocytes, but were not effective in the other cells. Formaldehyde and N-nitrohydroxymethylmethylamine were toxic to the cells. None of the compounds tested was able to induce selective DNA amplification in the two transformed cell lines. Enzymes involved in drug metabolism were assayed in the hamster cell lines. The activity of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase and cytosolic epoxide hydrolase were not detectable. N-nitrodimethylamine demethylation was low. The content of reduced glutathione and the activities of glutathione transferase and membrane bound epoxide hydrolase were comparable to values obtained in the rat liver.
