Prostaglandin synthase-catalyzed metabolic activation of some aromatic amines to genotoxic products.

Cultured human fibroblasts were incubated with different aromatic amines in the presence of different activation systems and the induction of strand breaks in fibroblast DNA was studied. In the presence of ram seminal vesicle microsomes and arachidonic acid, DNA strand breaks were induced by 2-naphthylamine, 2,4-diaminotoluene and 4-methoxy-m-phenylenediamine. This effect was decreased when the prostaglandin synthase of the ram seminal vesicle microsomes was inhibited. The data suggest that metabolic activation catalyzed by prostaglandin synthase may be of importance in the formation of genotoxic products by certain urinary tract carcinogens.[1]
