Arylamine-DNA adducts formation in tissues has been correlated with the carcinogenic effect of heterocyclic aromatic amines. Carmustine (BCNU) is a commercially available nitrosourea derivative and chloroethyl nitrosourea compound which is applied in anti-neoplastic therapy especially in central nervous system. The effects of carmustine on Aminofluorene-DNA (AF-DNA) formation in rat glioma cells were investigated by gamma-[32p]-dATP and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using 2-aminofluorene (AF) as substrate. In the presence of 8 microM carmustine, the AF-DNA adduct formation was decreased 10.6% and 15.6% in 30 microM and 60 microM of AF (p < 0.05), respectively; In the presence of 80 microM carmustine the AF-DNA adduct formation was decreased 39.6% and 40% in 30 microM and 60 microM of AF (p < 0.02), respectively. These results show that BCNU could decrease AF-DNA formation in rat glial tumor cells.
组织中芳胺 - DNA加合物的形成与杂环芳香胺的致癌作用相关。卡莫司汀(BCNU)是一种市售的亚硝基脲衍生物和氯乙基亚硝基脲化合物,用于抗肿瘤治疗,尤其是在中枢神经系统。以2 - 氨基芴(AF)为底物,通过γ - [32P] - dATP和高效液相色谱(HPLC)研究了卡莫司汀对大鼠胶质瘤细胞中氨基芴 - DNA(AF - DNA)形成的影响。在存在8μM卡莫司汀的情况下,30μM和60μM的AF中AF - DNA加合物的形成分别降低了10.6%和15.6%(p < 0.05);在存在80μM卡莫司汀的情况下,30μM和60μM的AF中AF - DNA加合物的形成分别降低了39.6%和40%(p < 0.02)。这些结果表明,BCNU可降低大鼠胶质瘤细胞中AF - DNA的形成。
