PG - 43-50 AB - N-Nitrosobis(2-hydroxypropyl)amine (ND2HPA) is a potent pancreatic carcinogen in hamsters and induces gastrointestinal and respiratory tract cancer in rats. The precursor amines, diisopropanolamine (Di-PA) and triisopropanolamine (Ti-PA), are used in some manufacturing processes and in cosmetic preparations. We have found low levels of ND2HPA in commercial Ti-PA (21-270 ng/g) and in Di-PA (20-1 300 ng/g) and have demonstrated that ND2HPA is formed from Ti-PA and nitrite in a yield comparable to that observed for formation of N-nitrosodiethanolamine (NDELA) from triethanolamine under relatively mild conditions. After reaction for 4 h at 37 degrees C (10 mmol/L amine, 40 mmol/L nitrite, pH 3.0), the ND2HPA yield was 0.51%. The NDELA yield under the same conditions was 0.96%. ND2HPA was determined by gas chromatography-thermal energy analysis (GC-TEA) and GC-high-resolution mass spectrometry (GC-MS) selected ion monitoring of the tert-butyldimethylsilyl (t-BDMS) ether after extraction on a Celite 560 column. The t-BDMS ethers of ND2HPA and NDELA yielded intense, structurally significant peaks at m/z 333.2030 and 305.1716, respectively. The GC-MS procedure provides sensitivity and selectivity comparable to that of GC-TEA.
