A system for the formation of an aflatoxin B1-reduced glutathione conjugate in vitro was developed, capable of yielding 80% conversion of aflatoxin B1 into the conjugate. A reverse-phase high-pressure-liquid-chromatography system was also devised that not only facilitates improved resolution of the compound but that, by manipulation of the pH, is also capable of an extensive purification of the compound from other aflatoxin B1 metabolites in a single step. Material produced by these techniques, after further purification, has been used in 1H-n.m.r. and mass-spectroscopic studies. Results were obtained that support the proposed linkage of the aflatoxin B1 to reduced glutathione in a 1:1 molar ratio via a thioether linkage. Amino acid analyses were also consistent with this structure. The absence of a Schiff-base linkage of aflatoxin B1 8,9-dihydrodiol to glutamate was further demonstrated by the presence of a gamma-glutamyltransferase-catalysed-transferable glutamate moiety. These data are consistent with the structure 8,9-dihydro-8-(S-glutathionyl)-9-hydroxy-aflatoxin B1.
开发了一种体外形成黄曲霉毒素B1 - 还原型谷胱甘肽缀合物的系统,该系统能够将80%的黄曲霉毒素B1转化为缀合物。还设计了一种反相高压液相色谱系统,该系统不仅有助于提高化合物的分离度,而且通过调节pH值,还能够在一步中从其他黄曲霉毒素B1代谢物中对该化合物进行广泛纯化。通过这些技术产生的材料经过进一步纯化后,已用于核磁共振和质谱研究。获得的结果支持了黄曲霉毒素B1与还原型谷胱甘肽以1:1摩尔比通过硫醚键连接的提议。氨基酸分析也与该结构一致。γ-谷氨酰转移酶催化的可转移谷氨酸部分的存在进一步证明了黄曲霉毒素B1 8,9 - 二氢二醇与谷氨酸不存在席夫碱连接。这些数据与8,9 - 二氢 - 8 -(S - 谷胱甘肽基)- 9 - 羟基 - 黄曲霉毒素B1的结构一致。
