代谢
研究了大鼠肝单加氧酶系统对磺酸偶氮III和紫檀芪的偶氮还原机制。空气强烈抑制(大于95%)两种偶氮化合物的酶促还原;100%的CO气氛抑制紫檀芪还原(大于90%)但对磺酸偶氮III的还原抑制很少(13%)。向微粒体培养中添加50微M的磺酸偶氮III可刺激氧消耗、NADPH氧化和肾上腺素红形成,而100微M的紫檀芪则没有。这两种偶氮化合物的还原电位也非常不同(紫檀芪,E = -0.620 V;磺酸偶氮III,E = -0.265 V 对正常氢电极)。有机汞化合物mersalyl将细胞色素P-450转化为细胞色素P-420(68%)并显著降低微粒体准备中的NADPH-细胞色素P-450(c)还原酶活性(97%),可能是通过灭活或破坏对这两种酶催化活性重要的功能性巯基。使用GSH恢复活性,NADP+保护单加氧酶组分免受mersalyl的影响。数据表明,NADPH-细胞色素P-450(c)还原酶的失活抑制了磺酸偶氮III和紫檀芪的还原,而细胞色素P-450的失活仅抑制了紫檀芪的还原。此外,与紫檀芪的还原速率相比,纯化的微粒体NADPH-细胞色素P-450(c)还原酶对磺酸偶氮III的还原速率显著更快。这些研究表明,在单加氧酶系统中存在两个不同的偶氮还原位点,并非所有偶氮化合物都由细胞色素P-450还原。
The mechanism of the azo reduction of sulfonazo III and amaranth by the rat hepatic monooxygenase system was studied. Air strongly inhibited (greater than 95%) the enzymatic reduction of both azo compounds; a 100% CO atmosphere inhibited amaranth reduction (greater than 90%) but only slightly inhibited sulfonazo III reduction (13%). The addition of 50 microM sulfonazo III to microsomal incubations stimulated oxygen consumption, NADPH oxidation, and adrenochrome formation, whereas 100 microM amaranth did not. The reduction potentials of these two azo compounds were also very different (amaranth, E = -0.620 V; sulfonazo III, E = -0.265 V versus normal hydrogen electrode). The organic mercurial mersalyl converted cytochrome P-450 to cytochrome P-420 (68%) and markedly decreased NADPH-cytochrome P-450(c) reductase activity (97%) in microsomal preparations, presumably by inactivating or destroying functional sulfhydryl groups important for the catalytic activity of these enzymes. GSH was used to restore, and NADP+ to protect, the activities of the monooxygenase components from the effects of mersalyl. The data indicate that inactivation of NADPH-cytochrome P-450(c) reductase inhibits sulfonazo III and amaranth reduction, whereas inactivation of cytochrome P-450 inhibits only amaranth reduction. Furthermore, the reduction of sulfonazo III by purified microsomal NADPH-cytochrome P-450(c) reductase was significantly faster than the rate of reduction of amaranth. These studies demonstrate that two distinct sites of azo reduction exist in the monooxygenase system and that not all azo compounds are reduced by cytochrome P-450.
The liver enzyme that reduces azo-linkages plays little part in the metabolism /of rats/, as was shown in experiments in which the amaranth was given by intrasplenic infusion. Reduction of the compound is therefore most probably affected by the intestinal bacteria.
Amaranth is rapidly reduced by a suspension of bacteria obtained from large intestine and cecum of rats. /Investigators/ found that it is reduced by rat liver homogenates as well as by rat intestinal contents. Products of reductive cleavage of amaranth, namely, 1-amino-4-naphthalene sulfonic acid and 1-amino-2-hydroxy-3,6-naphthalene disulfonic acid (R-amino salt), are found in urine of rats fed the color.

... In the current study, the potencies of single and combination use of allura red AC (R40), tartrazine (Y4), sunset yellow FCF (Y5), amaranth (R2), and brilliant blue FCF (B1) were examined on neural progenitor cell (NPC) toxicity, a biomarker for developmental stage, and neurogenesis, indicative of adult central nervous system (CNS) functions. R40 and R2 reduced NPC proliferation and viability in mouse multipotent NPC, in the developing CNS model. Among several combinations tested in mouse model, combination of Y4 and B1 at 1000-fold higher than average daily intake in Korea significantly decreased numbers of newly generated cells in adult mouse hippocampus, indicating potent adverse actions on hippocampal neurogenesis. However, other combinations including R40 and R2 did not affect adult hippocampal neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus. Evidence indicates that single and combination use of most tar food colors may be safe with respect to risk using developmental NPC and adult hippocampal neurogenesis. However, the response to excessively high dose combination of Y4 and B1 is suggestive of synergistic effects to suppress proliferation of NPC in adult hippocampus. Data indicated that combinations of tar colors may adversely affect both developmental and adult hippocampal neurogenesis; thus, further extensive studies are required to assess the safety of these additive combinations.
Of FD&C Red No.2 administered orally 10% appear in the urine and 43% in the feces (accounting for 53%). Part of the absorbed reduction product is further metabolized to unknown products
A single oral dose of 50 mg per animal was administered to four rats. Only 2.8% was absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract; the metabolites in the urine and bile were predominantly products resulting from the reductive fission of the azo-linkage, such as 1-amino-4-naphthalene sulfonic acid and 1-amino-2-hydroxy-3,6-naphthalene disulfonic acid. The former compound was found also in the feces.
The absorption and elimination of 1-amino-4-naphthalene-sulfonic acid, one of the azo-reduction products in rats were examined after dosing by gavage, in drinking-water and mixed into the diet. Little is metabolized by mammalian liver azo-reductase systems, almost all reduction occurring through gut microflora. 1-amino-2-hydroxy-3,6-naphthalene sulfonic acid was not studied as it is not well absorbed.
