Carcinogenic 3-nitrobenzanthrone but not 2-nitrobenzanthrone is metabolised to an unusual mercapturic acid in rat

Original language description

3-Nitrobenzanthrone (3-NBA) is an extremely potent mutagen and suspect human carcinogen found in diesel exhaust. Its isomer 2-nitrobenzanthrone (2-NBA) has also been found in ambient air. These isomers differ in mutagenicity in Salmonella by 2 - 3 ordersof magnitude. To identify their urinary metabolites and also to assess the assumed differences in their excretion, rats were dosed orally with 2 mg/kg b.w. of either 2-NBA or 3-NBA. Both LC-ESI-MS and GC-MS confirmed formation of the corresponding aminobenzanthrones (ABA). A novel mercapturic acid metabolite of 3-NBA was identified in urine by LC-ESI-MS as N-acetyl-S-(3-aminobenzanthron-2-yl)cysteine (3-ABA-MA) by comparison with the authentic standard. Its excretion amounted to 0.49 +/- 0.15 and 0.02+/- 0.01 % of dose within the first and second day after dosing, respectively. In contrast, no mercapturic acid was detected in the urine of rats dosed with 2-NBA.
