概要: 金沢大学医薬保健研究域薬学系<br />To evaluate human exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), we developed a rapid, simple and sensitive method for determining 1-hydroxypyrene-glucuronide (1-OHP-G) in human urine. To improve precision, a deuterated glucuronide was used as an internal standard. The method requires only 1 mL of urine. The urine was treated with a mixed-mode anion-exchange and reversed-phase solid-phase extraction cartridge (Oasis MAX). The analytes were analyzed with a C18 reversed-phase column with a gradient elution, followed by tandem mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization in negative ion mode. The detection limit of 1-OHP-G (corresponding to a signal-to-noise ratio of 3) was 0.13 fmol/injection. Urinary concentrations of 1-OHP-G determined by this method were strongly correlated (r2 = 0.961) with concentrations of 1-hydroxypyrene by conventional HPLC with fluorescence detection. © 2008 Elsevier B.V.

概要: The mutagenicities and endocrine-disrupting activities of two isomers of mononitrated 1-hydroxypyrene [1-hydroxy-x-nitro pyrenes (1-OH-x-NPs); x = 2 and 5], which are not only photoreaction products of 1-nitropyrene (1-NP) but also constituent of ambient airborne particles, were evaluated for the first time using the Ames plate incorporation assay and the yeast two-hybrid assay, respectively. The mutagenicity of 1-OH-5-NP was weakly positive in the absence of rat liver S9, but was enhanced up to 3-fold with the metabolic activation by S9. On the contrary, 1-OH-2-NPdid not exhibit significant mutagenicity in the presence or absence of S9. 1-OH-5-NP showed weak estrogenic activity, but 1-OH-2-NP did not show any estrogenic activity. The concentration of 1-OH-5-NP that gave 10% of activity of 1.0 × 10-6M 17ß- estradiol (E2) was 5.4 × 10-7M. 1-OH-5-NP exhibited stronger antiestrogenic and antiandrogenic activities than 1-OH-2-NP. 1-OH-5-NP at a concentration of 1.0 × 10-6M inhibited 71 and 90%of ß-galactosidase activity induced by 1.0 × 10-9Mof E2 and 1.0 × 10-8M of 5a-dihydrotestosterone (DHT), respectively. On the other hand, 1.0 × 10-6M of 1-OH-2-NP inhibited 16 and 43% of ß-galactosidase activity induced by 1.0 × 10-9M of E2 and 1.0 × 10-8M of DHT, respectively. These findings point out the need for determining the environmental sources and distribution of 1-OH-2-NP and 1-OH-5-NP as well as the other hydroxynitropyrene isomers. © 2011 The Pharmaceutical Society of Japan. 続きを見る

概要: We developed a sampler for collecting atmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (NPAHs) by attaching a glass column packed with XAD-4 resin to the gas sampling port of a high-volume air sampler equipped with a filter. When the upper and bottom layers of the column were packed with 64 g and 32 g of XAD-4 resin, respectively, all PAHs and NPAHs in the gas phase were quantitatively collected in the XAD-4 resin column without any break through, while PAHs and NPAHs in the particle phase were collected on the filter. We collected air samples at suburban and downtown Kanazawa by using the proposed sampler. It was found that about 95% of 2-3 ring PAHs and more than 99% of 2-ring NPAHs existed chiefly in the gas phase, that 4-ring PAHs such as fluoranthene (FR) and pyrene (Pyr) and 3-ring NPAHs were in both the gas and particle phases and that the other PAHs and NPAHs having 4-rings or more except for FR and Pyr were almost completely in the particle phase. Our data also indicated that the adsorption of NPAHs to the particle phase in the atmosphere is controlled by the same mechanism as that of PAHs. 続きを見る

概要: Endocrine disrupting activities of three isomers of monohydroxylated 1-nitropyrene (1-NP) [3-, 6-, and 8-hydroxy-1-nitro pyrenes (OHNPs)] were evaluated for the first time by yeast two-hybrid assay. OHNPs, which are not only metabolites of 1-NP but are also found in airborne particles, did not exhibit androgenic activity but exhibited estrogenic, antiestrogenic, and antiandrogenic activities. 6-OHNP showed the strongest estrogenic activity among the three OHNP isomers examined in this study. Concentrations of the OHNP isomers that gave 10% of activity of 1.0 × 10-6 M 17β-estradiol (E2) were as follows: 3-OHNP, 6.0 × 10 -7 M; 6-OHNP, 6.0 × 10-8 M; 8-OHNP, 9.0 × 10-7 M. On the contrary, 8-OHNP exhibited the strongest antiestrogenic and antiandrogenic activities of the three isomers. 1.0 × 10-6 M of 8-OHNP inhibited 32 and 90% of β-galactosidase activity induced by 1.0 × 10-9 M of E2 and 1.0 × 10-8 M of 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT), respectively. These findings point out the necessity for detailed investigation of environmental sources and distributions of OHNPs as well as the parent 1-NP. 続きを見る
