  • 摘要:The potent mutagen, 5-fluoroquinoline (5-FQ), and non-mutagenic 3-fluoroquinoline (3-FQ) were tested for hepatocarcinogenicity using a medium-term assay system employing quinoline, a moderately mutagenic hepatocarcinogen, as a reference. F344 male rats were given a single i.p. injection of a submanifestational dose of diethylnitrosamine (DEN, 200 mg/kg). Then, quinoline, 3-FQ, or 5-FQ at two doses (0.1% and 0.05%) was added to their diet for a period of 6 weeks, starting from 2 weeks after the DEN injection. Control groups were administered DEN alone. All rats were subjected to a partial (two-thirds) hepatectomy at the end of week 3 and sacrificed at the end of week 8. The number and areas of GST-P (placental glutathione S-transferase)-positive foci induced in the liver increased significantly as a result of treatment with 0.1% quinoline, and this increase was dramatic with 5-FQ at both doses, whereas no increases were noted with 3-FQ at either dose. Thus, the results of the medium-term carcinogenicity assay predicted that quinoline, a hepatocarcinogen, would be deprived of carcinogenicity by fluorine atom substitution at position 3, and would conversely be endowed with a higher carcinogenic capacity by substitution at position 5. A semi-quantitative relationship was demonstrated between carcinogenic and mutagenic potencies.
