PG - 521-8 AB - 3-Allyl-5-substituted 2-thiohydantoins (ATH-amino acids) derived from allyl isothiocyanate and amino acids can inhibit the mutagenicity of 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ) in the Salmonella assay. In this report, we studied possible mechanisms for the inhibition using rat liver S9 in assays for ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD), a marker activity for cytochrome P450 1A (CYP1A), which activates heterocyclic amines, and the Salmonella assays with the direct-acting mutagen 2-hydroxyamino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (N-hydroxy-IQ). Quantitative analysis of ATH-amino acids and IQ during incubation with rat liver S9 fraction by HPLC showed that ATH-amino acids could act as S9-inhibitors, thereby inhibiting metabolic activation of IQ. Among the tested ATH-amino acids, ATH-Phe, ATH-Trp, ATH-Leu and ATH-Val showed a dose-dependent inhibition of EROD activity. ATH-Gly, ATH-Glu, and ATH-Asp behaved as blocking agents toward N-hydroxy-IQ, but exhibited no inhibition of EROD activity.
