代谢
成年雄性Fischer 344大鼠单次腹腔注射或口服给予N-亚硝基甲基乙基胺(4.4 mg/kg,0.05 mmol/kg),其甲基或乙基团上标记有(14C),存活时间为4小时。DNA在0.1 M HCl中酸水解后,通过Sephasorb-HP色谱进行分析。肝脏DNA中7-甲基鸟嘌呤的浓度比7-乙基鸟嘌呤高170-200倍。这大约是当DNA与等摩尔量的直接烷化剂N-亚硝基甲基脲和N-亚硝基乙基脲反应时观察到的7-甲基鸟嘌呤:7-乙基鸟嘌呤比率68的2.6倍,表明N-亚硝基甲基乙基胺的乙基基团α位的羟基化速率大约是甲基基团的2.6倍。肝脏中7-甲基鸟嘌呤的浓度大约是肾脏的15倍,食道的100倍,肺的200倍。在饮用水中添加乙醇(5%)会导致代谢在器官间轻微转移,肝脏与食道的7-甲基鸟嘌呤比率降低50%,肝脏与肾脏的7-甲基鸟嘌呤比率增加40%。
... Adult male Fischer 344 rats received a single i.p. or p.o. dose (4.4 mg/kg, 0.05 mmol/kg) of N-nitrosomethylethylamine, (14C)-labeled in either the methyl or ethyl group (survival time, 4 hr). DNA was analyzed by Sephasorb-HP chromatography following acid hydrolysis in 0.1 M HCl. Concentrations of 7-methylguanine in hepatic DNA were 170-200 times higher than those of 7-ethylguanine. This is approximately 2.6 times the 7-methylguanine: 7-ethylguanine ratio of 68, observed when DNA is reacted in vitro with equimolar amounts of the direct alkylating agents N-nitrosomethylurea and N-nitrosoethylurea, suggesting that hydroxylation at the alpha-position of the ethyl group of N-nitrosomethylethylamine proceeds at about 2.6 times the rate as at the methyl group. Concentrations of 7-methylguanine in liver were approximately 15 times higher than in kidney, 100 times higher than in esophagus, and 200 times higher than in lung. Addition of ethanol to the drinking water (5%) caused a slight interorgan shift in metabolism with a decrease in the 7-methylguanine ratio for liver: esophagus by 50% and an increase in the 7-methylguanine ratio for liver: kidney by 40%.
