Abstract
Metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene, the most thoroughly studied PAH, was studied in mouse placental microsomes incubated with $^3$H-labeled B(a)P. B(a)P metabolites were separated using HPLC fitted with a C18- $\mu$ Bondapak column. The single major metabolite by mouse placental microsomes induced by B(a)P was 7, 8-diol B(a)P, while 4, 5-diol B(a)P, 3-OH and quinones constituted minor metabolites. Treatment with 3-methyl-cholanthrene to mice resulted in indudion of hydroxy B(a)P and quinone compounds. Phenobarbital treated mouse placental microsomes also showed elevated level of B(a)P metabolism with 7, 8-diol B(a)P as a major metabolite.
PAH화합물의 하나인 benzo(a)pyrene의 쥐 태반 microsomes에 의한 대사활성화를 조사하였다. B(a)P대사물은 C18- $\mu$ Bondapak칼럼을 사용하여 고압액체크로마토그래피로 분석하였다. 그 결과 B(a)P를 투여한 쥐의 태반 microsomes에 의한 주 대사산물은 발암성이 강한 7,8-diol B(a)P였으며, 또한 적은량의 4,5-diol B(a)P와 quinone류가 검출되었다. 3-methyl-cholanthrene을 투여한 경우 hydroxy B(a)P 와 quinone화합물이 주 대사산물이었으며 Phenobarbital을 전처리했을 경우 7,8-diol B(a)P이 주 대사산물인 것으로 나타났다.
