Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The effects of piperonyl butoxide (PB) on the metabolism and toxicity of dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) in Swiss mice were determined. PB, at doses of 10 and 20 mg/kg, inhibited DMN demethylase 45 min after treatment by 18 and 37%. These inhibitory effects were marked 0.5 hr after PB (640 mg/kg) treatment and reached maximal effects at 2 hr when there was 55% inhibition of enzyme activity. The inhibition by PB continued for 24 hr where enzyme activity was suppressed by 35%. At 48 hr after treatment there was stimulation of enzyme activity. Enzyme kinetic determinations showed no change in Km but Vmax decreased from 129 to 49 mumol CH2O/min-g liver. PB (640 mg/kg) inhibited DMN (500 mg/kg; im) mutagenicity in the host-mediated assay, decreasing the mutant frequency by 42%. Paradoxically, PB (640 mg/kg) had no effect on the alkylation of nucleic acids or proteins in mouse liver, kidney, lung, or spleen. In addition, pretreatment with PB (640 mg/kg) had no effect on the LD50 of DMN.
