7-Hydroxymethyl-12-methylbenz[alpha]anthracene (7-HMBA), a carcinogenic major metabolite of 7,12-dimethylbenz[alpha]anthracene (DMBA) in liver, was transformed by liver cytosolic sulfotransferase to reactive 7-HMBA sulfate, which is mutagenic toward Salmonella typhimurium strain TA98. The mutagenicity of 7-HMBA in the presence of hepatic sulfotransferase was much higher than that of DMBA or 7-HMBA in the presence of hepatic monooxygenase.
7-羟甲基-12-甲基苯并[a]蒽(7-HMBA)是7,12-二甲基苯并[a]蒽(DMBA)在肝脏中的一种致癌主要代谢产物,它被肝细胞质磺基转移酶转化为具有反应活性的7-HMBA硫酸盐,该硫酸盐对鼠伤寒沙门氏菌TA98菌株具有致突变性。在肝脏磺基转移酶存在的情况下,7-HMBA的致突变性远高于在肝脏单加氧酶存在时DMBA或7-HMBA的致突变性。
