Metabolism of 6-nitrochrysene by intestinal microflora.
Since bacterial nitroreduction may play a critical role in the activation of nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, we have used batch and semicontinuous culture systems to determine the ability of intestinal microflora to metabolize the carcinogen 6-nitrochrysene (6-NC). 6-NC was metabolized by the intestinal microflora present in the semicontinuous culture system to 6-aminochrysene (6-AC), N-...
متن کاملIcariin Metabolism by Human Intestinal Microflora.
Icariin is a major bioactive compound of Epimedii Herba, a traditional oriental medicine exhibiting anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-osteoporosis activities. Recently, the estrogenic activities of icariin drew significant attention, but the published scientific data seemed not to be so consistent. To provide fundamental information for the study of the icaritin metabolism, the biotransfo...
متن کاملFungal biotransformation of 6-nitrochrysene.
The fungus Cunninghamella elegans was used to biotransform 6-nitrochrysene, a mutagen that is a widespread environmental contaminant. After 6 days, 74% of the 3H-labeled 6-nitrochrysene added had been metabolized to two isomeric sulfate conjugates. These conjugates were separated by high-performance liquid chromatography and identified by UV-visible, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spec...
متن کاملDegradation of bromazepam by the intestinal microflora.
Degradation of four benzodiazepines, i.e. bromazepam, diazepam, desmethyldiazepam, and 7bromo-1,3-dihydro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2(1H )-one, in a broth containing human feces was studied. Degradation of bromazepam was also investigated in a fecal medium, a homogenate of the liver and a homogenate of intestinal epithelial cells of rat. More than 80% of bromazepam, which contains a pyridin...
متن کاملMetabolism and DNA binding of the environmental colon carcinogen 6-nitrochrysene in rats.
The environmental contaminant 6-nitrochrysene (6-NC) has been shown to induce adenomas and adenocarcinomas in the colons of rats. The present study aimed at providing a better understanding of mechanisms that are responsible for this effect. Three female CD rats were injected i.p. with [3,4,9,10-3H]6-NC [9 mumol/rat (346 microCi/rat)], and urine and feces were collected daily for 3 days. In the...
