Abstract
Since 2018, N-nitrosamine impurities have become a widespread concern in the global regulatory landscape of pharmaceutical products. This concern arises due to their potential for contamination, toxicity, carcinogenicity, and mutagenicity and their presence in many active pharmaceutical ingredients, drug products, and other matrices. N-Nitrosamine impurities in humans can lead to severe chemical toxicity effects. These include carcinogenic effects, metabolic disruptions, reproductive harm, liver diseases, obesity, DNA damage, cell death, chromosomal alterations, birth defects, and pregnancy loss. They are particularly known to cause cancer (tumors) in various organs and tissues such as the liver, lungs, nasal cavity, esophagus, pancreas, stomach, urinary bladder, colon, kidneys, and central nervous system. Additionally, N-nitrosamine impurities may contribute to the development of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases and type-2 diabetes. Therefore, it is very important to control or avoid them by enhancing effective analytical methodologies using cutting-edge analytical techniques such as LC-MS, GC-MS, CE-MS, SFC, etc. Moreover, these analytical methods need to be sensitive and selective with suitable precision and accuracy, so that the actual amounts of N-nitrosamine impurities can be detected and quantified appropriately in drugs. Regulatory agencies such as the US FDA, EMA, ICH, WHO, etc. need to focus more on the hazards of N-nitrosamine impurities by providing guidance and regular updates to drug manufacturers and applicants. Similarly, drug manufacturers should be more vigilant to avoid nitrosating agents and secondary amines during the manufacturing processes. Numerous review articles have been published recently by various researchers, focusing on N-nitrosamine impurities found in previously notified products, including sartans, metformin, and ranitidine. These impurities have also been detected in a wide range of other products. Consequently, this review aims to concentrate on products recently reported to contain N-nitrosamine impurities. These products include rifampicin, champix, famotidine, nizatidine, atorvastatin, bumetanide, itraconazole, diovan, enalapril, propranolol, lisinopril, duloxetine, rivaroxaban, pioglitazones, glifizones, cilostazol, and sunitinib.

Abstract
Diet is one of the main exogenous sources of potentially carcinogenic nitrosamines (NAs) along with tobacco and cosmetics. Several factors can affect endogenous N-nitroso compounds (NOCs) formation and therefore the potential damage of the intestinal mucosa at initial colorectal cancer stages. To address this issue, 49 volunteers were recruited and classified according to histopathological analyses. Lifestyle and dietary information were registered after colonoscopy. The mutagenicity of fecal supernatants was assayed by a modified Ames test. Fecal heme-derived NOCs and total NOC concentrations were determined by selective denitrosation and chemiluminescence-based detection. Results revealed processed meats as the main source of dietary nitrites and NAs, identifying some of them as predictors of the fecal concentration of heme-derived and total NOCs. Furthermore, increased fecal NOC concentrations were found as the severity of colonic mucosal damage increased from the control to the adenocarcinoma group, these concentrations being strongly correlated with the intake of the NAs N-nitrosodimethylamine, N-nitrosopiperidine, and N-nitrosopyrrolidine. Higher fecal NOC concentrations were also noted in higher fecal mutagenicity samples. These results could contribute to a better understanding of the importance of modulating dietary derived xenobiotics as related with their impact on the intestinal environment and colonic mucosa damage.

Abstract
Chemical carcinogen-induced oxidative stress has a key role in cell signaling linked to the development of cancer. Oxidative stress leads to oxidative damage to cellular membranes, proteins, chromosomes and genetic material. It is thought that compounds like hesperidin with high antioxidant and anticancer potential can reduce development of cancer induced by chemical carcinogens via neutralizing their oxidative damages. We investigated protective effect of hesperidin against N-Ethyl-N-Nitrosourea (ENU)-induced neurotoxicity, congenital abnormalities and possible brain cancer after exposure of mice during pregnancy as model of glioma. The mice were divided to four groups; control (normal saline), ENU (40 mg/kg daily for three consecutive days from the 17th to the 19th of pregnancy), hesperidin (pretreated with 25 mg/kg for 30 consecutive days, before mating) + ENU and hesperidin alone. Developmental toxicity parameters (the number of pregnant mice, stillbirths, abortion, live and dead offspring), behavioral tests (novel object recognition, open field and elevated plus maze) were performed. Moreover, the activity of butrylcholinesterase and acetylcholinesterase enzymes, oxidative markers and histopathological abnormalities were detected in brain tissue. Our data showed that conversely, the pretreatment of hesperidin reduces various degrees of developmental toxicity, neurobehavioral dysfunction, neurotoxicity, oxidative stress and histopathological abnormalities induced by ENU as a neurotoxic and carcinogenic agent in the next generation. In conclusion, pre-mating exposure with hesperidin may open new avenues for prevention of primary brain cancer in next generation and could be valuable for enhancing the antioxidant defense and minimizing the developmental and neurotoxicity of DNA alkylating agents.

Abstract
In the present study, we investigated the genotoxicity of the active products formed from N-nitrosoproline (NPRO) dissolved in oleic acid following ultraviolet A (UVA) irradiation, bypassing the need for metabolic activation. We previously demonstrated the photomutagenicity of NPRO dissolved in a phosphate-buffered solution. It has been suggested that the association of the nitrosamine group with acid ions facilitates rapid photodissociation and photoactivation. We hypothesized that NPRO's inherent carboxyl group may mimic an acid, inducing photodissociation and photomutagenicity, even in a non-aqueous solvent lacking acidic ions. Following UVA irradiation, NPRO dissolved in oleic acid exhibited a dose-dependent mutagenic activity. Similar results were obtained when NPRO was dissolved in linoleic acid and triolein. Nitric oxide formation, which is dependent on NPRO concentration, is accompanied by mutagenic activity. The mutagenicity spectrum obtained in response to NPRO irradiation followed the absorption curve of NPRO dissolved in oleic acid. Irradiated NPRO in oleic acid displayed relative stability, retaining approximately 18, 36, and 63 % of initial mutagenicity after 10 days of storage at 25, 4, and -20 °C, respectively. Thus NPRO stored in a fatty environment undergoes photoactivation upon irradiation, leading to genotoxicity.

Abstract
Volatile N-nitrosamines (VNAs) are probably and possibly carcinogenic compounds to humans and widely found in processed meat products. In this study, the dietary exposure distribution and probabilistic cancer risk for main VNAs (N-nitrosodimethylamine, N-nitrosodiethylamine, N-nitrosomethylethylamine, N-nitrosopiperidine, N-nitrosodibutylamine, and N-nitrosodi-n-propylamine) were calculated by Monte Carlo simulation (MCS). The lowest and highest mean concentrations of these six NAs were related to NDBA and NDEA as 0.350 and 2.655 μg/kg, respectively. In the 95th percentile, chronic daily intake of total VNAs for children (3-14 years) and adults (15-70 years) were calculated to be 2.83 × 10-4 and 5.90 × 10-5 mg/kg bw/day, respectively. The cancer risk caused by the consumption of chicken sausages was less than 10-4, indicating low concern for the Iranian population. According to principal component analysis and heat map results, NDEA, NPIP and frying showed a positive correlation, highlighting that the variables follow a similar trend.

Abstract
Thermal treatment of food can lead to the formation of potentially harmful chemicals, known as process contaminants. These are adventitious contaminants that are formed in food during processing and preparation. Various food processing techniques, such as heating, drying, grilling, and fermentation, can generate hazardous chemicals such as acrylamide (AA), advanced glycation end products (AGEs), heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs), furan, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), N-nitroso compounds (NOCs), monochloropropane diols (MCPD) and their esters (MCPDE) which can be detrimental to human health. Despite efforts to prevent the formation of these compounds during processing, eliminating them is often challenging due to their unknown formation mechanisms. It is critical to identify the potential harm to human health in processed food and understand the mechanisms by which harmful compounds form during processing, as prolonged exposure to these toxic compounds can lead to health problems. Various mitigation strategies, such as the use of diverse pre- and post-processing treatments, product reformulation, additives, variable process conditions, and novel integrated processing techniques, have been proposed to control these food hazards. In this review, we summarize the formation and occurrence, the potential for harm to human health produced by process contaminants in food, and potential mitigation strategies to minimize their impact.

Abstract
2',4'-dihydroxy-6'-methoxy-3',5'-dimethylchalcone (DMC) is a major compound in Cleistocalyx nervosum seed extract (CSE), which has been reported to have various biological activities, including anti-cancer activity. Therefore, this study attempted to evaluate whether DMC is a chemopreventive compound in CSE. Moreover, the preventive mechanisms of CSE and DMC in the DEN-induced early stages of hepatocarcinogenesis in rats were investigated. Male Wistar rats were intraperitoneally injected with DEN 50 mg/kg bw once a week for 8 weeks. Rats received CSE and DMC orally throughout the experiment. The number of glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P)-positive foci in the liver was measured. Furthermore, the preventive mechanisms of CSE and DMC on DEN-induced HCC, including cell proliferation and apoptosis, were investigated. Administering CSE at a dosage of 400 mg/kg bw and DMC at a dosage of 10 mg/kg bw significantly decreased the number and size of GST-P-positive foci and GST-P expression. In addition, DMC inhibited the development of preneoplastic lesions by decreasing cell proliferation and causing cell apoptosis; however, CSE inhibited the development of preneoplastic lesions by inducing cell apoptosis. In conclusion, DMC exhibited a cancer chemopreventive effect on the early stages of hepatocarcinogenesis by increasing cell apoptosis and reducing cell proliferation.

Abstract
N-nitrosamines and nitrosamine drug substance related impurities (NDSRIs) became a critical topic for the development and safety of small molecule medicines following the withdrawal of various pharmaceutical products from the market. To assess the mutagenic and carcinogenic potential of different N-nitrosamines lacking robust carcinogenicity data, several approaches are in use including the published carcinogenic potency categorization approach (CPCA), the Enhanced Ames Test (EAT), in vivo mutagenicity studies as well as read-across to analogue molecules with robust carcinogenicity data. We employ quantum chemical calculations as a pivotal tool providing insights into the likelihood of reactive ion formation and subsequent DNA alkylation for a selection of molecules including e.g., carcinogenic N-nitrosopiperazine (NPZ), N-nitrosopiperidine (NPIP), together with N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) as well as non-carcinogenic N-nitrosomethyl-tert-butylamine (NTBA) and bis (butan-2-yl) (nitros)amine (BBNA). In addition, a series of nitroso-methylaminopyridines is compared side-by-side. We draw comparisons between calculated reaction profiles for structures representing motifs common to NDSRIs and those of confirmed carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic molecules with in vivo data from cancer bioassays. Furthermore, our approach enables insights into reactivity and relative stability of intermediate species that can be formed upon activation of several nitrosamines. Most notably, we reveal consistent differences between the free energy profiles of carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic molecules. For the former, the intermediate diazonium ions mostly react, kinetically controlled, to the more stable DNA adducts and less to the water adducts via transition-states of similar heights. Non-carcinogenic molecules yield stable carbocations as intermediates that, thermodynamically controlled, more likely form the statistically preferred water adducts. In conclusion, our data confirm that quantum chemical calculations can contribute to a weight of evidence approach for the risk assessment of nitrosamines.

Abstract
This study investigated the presence of nitrosamines, known carcinogens, in 1320 food samples from South Korea using LC-APCI-MS/MS analysis. Results showed nitrosamines were detected in 72% of samples, with processed foods exhibiting higher levels. Sesame oil, snow white rice cake, fried chicken wings, and fried squid were identified as having the highest nitrosamine content. Daily intake estimates revealed nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), nitrosodibutylamine (NDBA), and nitrosopyrrolidine (NPYR) as major contributors to exposure. Risk assessment, based on BMDL10 values and MOE calculations, indicated low health risks overall, but certain food groups at the 95th percentile showed MOEs below the safety threshold, warranting attention. This underscores the need for ongoing monitoring and regulation of nitrosamine levels in food products to protect public health, particularly in regions with high consumption of processed foods like South Korea. Further research and regulatory measures are crucial to minimize nitrosamine exposure and mitigate associated health risks.

Effects of Inoculating Autochthonous Starter Cultures on Changes of N-Nitrosamines and Their Precursors in Chinese Traditional Fermented Fish during In Vitro Human Digestion. Foods 2024; 13:2021.

Abstract
The objective of this research was to investigate the impact of inoculating autochthonous starter cultures on the alterations in microorganisms, biogenic amines, nitrite, and N-nitrosamines in Chinese traditional fermented fish products (CTFPs) during in vitro human digestion. The results revealed that gastric digestion significantly (p < 0.05) inhibited the proliferation of lactic acid bacteria, yeast, Staphylococcus, and Enterobacteriaceae, whereas various microorganisms proliferated extensively during small intestine digestion. Meanwhile, small intestine digestion could significantly increase (p < 0.05) levels of putrescine, cadaverine, and tyramine. The reduced content observed in inoculated fermentation groups suggests that starter cultures may have the ability to deplete biogenic amines in this digestion stage. Gastric digestion significantly (p < 0.05) inhibited nitrite accumulation in all CTFPs samples. Conversely, the nitrite content increased significantly (p < 0.05) in all groups during subsequent small intestine digestion. However, the rise in the inoculated fermentation groups was smaller than that observed in the spontaneous fermentation group, indicating a potentially positive role of inoculated fermentation in inhibiting nitrite accumulation during this phase. Additionally, gastric digestion significantly (p < 0.05) elevated the levels of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) and N-nitrosopiperidine in CTFPs. Inoculation with L. plantarum 120, S. cerevisiae 2018, and mixed starter cultures (L. plantarum 120, S. cerevisiae 2018, and S. xylosus 135 [1:1:1]) effectively increased the degree of depletion of NDMA during this digestion process.

Abstract
Dietary exposure to N-nitrosamines has recently been assessed by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to result in margins of exposure that are conceived to indicate concern with respect to human health risk. However, evidence from more than half a century of international research shows that N-nitroso compounds (NOC) can also be formed endogenously. In this commentary of the Senate Commission on Food Safety (SKLM) of the German Research Foundation (DFG), the complex metabolic and physiological biokinetics network of nitrate, nitrite and reactive nitrogen species is discussed with emphasis on its influence on endogenous NOC formation. Pioneering approaches to monitor endogenous NOC have been based on steady-state levels of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in human blood and on DNA adduct levels in blood cells. Further NOC have not been considered yet to a comparable extent, although their generation from endogenous or exogenous precursors is to be expected. The evidence available to date indicates that endogenous NDMA exposure could exceed dietary exposure by about 2-3 orders of magnitude. These findings require consolidation by refined toxicokinetics and DNA adduct monitoring data to achieve a credible and comprehensive human health risk assessment.

Abstract
Sodium nitrite (NaNO2) is a widely used food ingredient, although excessive concentrations can pose potential health risks. In the present study, we evaluated the deterioration effects of NaNO2 additives on hematology, metabolic profile, liver function, and kidney function of male Wistar rats. We further explored the therapeutic potential of supplementation with S. costus root ethanolic extract (SCREE) to improve NaNO2-induced hepatorenal toxicity. In this regard, 65 adult male rats were divided into eight groups; Group 1: control, Groups 2, 3, and 4 received SCREE in 200, 400, and 600 mg/kg body weight, respectively, Group 5: NaNO2 (6.5 mg/kg body weight), Groups 6, 7 and 8 received NaNO2 (6.5 mg/kg body weight) in combination with SCREE (200, 400, and 600 mg/kg body weight), respectively. Our results revealed that the NaNO2-treated group shows a significant change in deterioration in body and organ weights, hematological parameters, lipid profile, and hepatorenal dysfunction, as well as immunohistochemical and histopathological alterations. Furthermore, the NaNO2-treated group demonstrated a considerable increase in the expression of TNF-α cytokine and tumor suppressor gene P53 in the kidney and liver, while a significant reduction was detected in the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-4 and the apoptosis suppressor gene BCL-2, compared to the control group. Interestingly, SCREE administration demonstrated the ability to significantly alleviate the toxic effects of NaNO2 and improve liver function in a dose-dependent manner, including hematological parameters, lipid profile, and modulation of histopathological architecture. Additionally, SCREE exhibited the ability to modulate the expression levels of inflammatory cytokines and apoptotic genes in the liver and kidney. The phytochemical analysis revealed a wide set of primary metabolites in SCREE, including phenolics, flavonoids, vitamins, alkaloids, saponins and tannins, while the untargeted UPLC/T-TOF-MS/MS analysis identified 183 metabolites in both positive and negative ionization modes. Together, our findings establish the potential of SCREE in mitigating the toxic effects of NaNO2 by modulating metabolic, inflammatory, and apoptosis. Together, this study underscores the promise of SCREE as a potential natural food detoxifying additive to counteract the harmful impacts of sodium nitrite.

Abstract
The search for natural food additives makes propolis an exciting alternative due to its known antimicrobial activity. This work aims to investigate propolis' behavior as a nitrite substitute ingredient in cooked ham (a ready-to-eat product) when confronted with pathogenic microorganisms of food interest. The microbial evolution of Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, and Clostridium sporogenes inoculated at known doses was examined in different batches of cooked ham. The design of a challenge test according to their shelf life (45 days), pH values, and water activity allowed the determination of the mesophilic aerobic flora, psychotropic, and acid lactic bacteria viability. The test was completed with an organoleptic analysis of the samples, considering possible alterations in color and texture. The cooked ham formulation containing propolis instead of nitrites limited the potential growth (δ < 0.5 log10) of all the inoculated microorganisms until day 45, except for L. monocytogenes, which in turn exhibited a bacteriostatic effect between day 7 and 30 of the storage time. The sensory analysis revealed the consumer's acceptance of cooked ham batches including propolis as a natural additive. These findings suggest the functionality of propolis as a promising alternative to artificial preservatives for ensuring food safety and reducing the proliferation risk of foodborne pathogens in ready-to-eat products.

Abstract
Increasing concerns have been raised about dangerous, yet nearly undetectable levels of nitrosamines in foods, medications, and drinking water. Their ubiquitous presence and carcinogenicity necessitates a method of sensitive and selective detection of these potent toxins. While the detection of two major nitrosamines─N-nitrosodimethylamine and N-nitrosodiethylamine─has seen success, low detection limits are scarcer for the other members of this class. One member, N-nitrosodiphenylamine (NDPhA), has had little progress not only in its detection in low quantities but also in its detection at all. NDPhA has unique difficulty in its identification due to its aromaticity, making it far more problematic to distinguish in the common GC-MS or LC-MS/MS methods used for nitrosamine sensing. Despite this detection barrier, it has been listed among the top 6 carcinogenic nitrosamines by the Food and Drug Administration as of 2023. Due to its evasive nature, a unique methodology must be applied to facilitate its sensitive identification. Herein, we describe the use of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy for the first account of liquid-phase detection of NDPhA using cysteamine-functionalized gold nanostars and a portable Raman spectrometer. Our methodology requires no chemical modification to the nitrosated structure as well as the usage of two well-understood biocompatible materials: cysteamine and gold nanoparticles.

Abstract
Nitrite is a common additive in cured meat formulation that provides microbiological safety, lipid oxidation management, and typical organoleptic properties. However, it is associated with the formation of carcinogenic N-nitrosamines. In this context, the antinitrosating capacity of selected flavonoids and ascorbate was evaluated in a simulated cooked and cured meat under formulation and digestion conditions. N-Acetyltryptophan was used as a secondary amine target. (-)-Epicatechin, rutin, and quercetin were all able to limit the formation of N-acetyl-N-nitrosotryptophan (NO-AcTrp) at pH 2.5 and pH 5 although (-)-epicatechin was 2 to 3-fold more efficient. Kinetics for the newly identified compounds allowed us to unravel common mechanistic pathways, which are flavonoid oxidation by nitrite followed by C-nitration and an original covalent coupling between NO-AcTrp and flavonoids or their nitro and nitroso counterparts. C-nitrosation of the A-ring was evidenced only for (-)-epicatechin. These major findings suggest that flavonoids could help to manage N-nitrosamine formation during cured meat processing, storage, and digestion.

Source-specific nitrate and nitrite intakes and associations with sociodemographic factors in the Danish Diet Cancer and Health cohort. Front Nutr 2024; 11:1326991.

Abstract
Background The dietary source and intake levels of nitrate and nitrite may govern its deleterious versus beneficial effects on human health. Existing evidence on detailed source-specific intake is limited. The objectives of this study were to assess nitrate and nitrite intakes from different dietary sources (plant-based foods, animal-based foods, and water), characterize the background diets of participants with low and high intakes, and investigate how sociodemographic and lifestyle factors associate with intake levels. Methods In the Danish Diet, Cancer and Health Cohort, sociodemographic and lifestyle information was obtained from participants at enrolment (1993-1997). Source-dependent nitrate and nitrite intakes were calculated using comprehensive food composition databases, with tap water nitrate intakes estimated via the national drinking water quality monitoring database linked with participants' residential addresses from 1978 to 2016. Underlying dietary patterns were examined using radar plots comparing high to low consumers while sociodemographic predictors of source-dependent nitrate intakes were investigated using linear regression models. Results In a Danish cohort of 55,754 participants aged 50-65 at enrolment, the median [IQR] intakes of dietary nitrate and nitrite were 58.13 [44.27-74.90] mg/d and 1.79 [1.43-2.21] mg/d, respectively. Plant-based foods accounted for ~76% of nitrate intake, animal-based foods ~10%, and water ~5%. Nitrite intake was sourced roughly equally from plants and animals. Higher plant-sourced nitrate intake was associated with healthier lifestyles, better dietary patterns, more physical activity, higher education, lower age and lower BMI. Females and participants who had never smoked also had significantly higher plant-sourced nitrate intakes. Higher water-sourced nitrate intake was linked to sociodemographic risk factors (smoking, obesity, lower education). Patterns for animal-sourced nitrate were less clear. Conclusion Participants with higher plant-sourced nitrate intakes tend to be healthier while participants with higher water-sourced nitrate intakes tended to be unhealthier than their low consuming counterparts. Future research in this cohort should account for the sociodemographic and dietary predictors of source-specific nitrate intake we have identified.

Abstract
The heating process is a crucial step that can lead to the formation of several harmful chemical compounds in red meat such as heterocyclic aromatic amines, N-Nitrosamines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and acrylamide. Meat has high nutritional value, providing essential amino acids, bioactive compounds and several important micronutrients which can also be affected by heating processes. This review aims to provide an updated overview of the effects of different heating processes on both the safety and nutritional parameters of cooked red meat. The most-used heating processes practices were taken into consideration in order to develop a risk-benefit scenario for each type of heating process and red meat.

Abstract
This study investigated N-nitrosomorpholine (NMOR) genotoxicity following UVA irradiation without metabolic activation. Following UVA irradiation, the photo treated NMOR (irradiated NMOR) was directly mutagenic, without UVA or metabolic activation, in the Ames test. The activity was relatively stable, and approximately 79% of the activity remained after 10 days of storage at 37 °C, 4 °C, or -20 °C. Micronuclei (MN) formation was observed in HaCaT cells after treatment with irradiated NMOR without metabolic activation. The action spectrum of MN formation in response to NMOR irradiation followed the NMOR absorption curve. In vivo, MN formation was observed in the peripheral blood reticulocytes of mice injected with irradiated NMOR under the inhibition of cytochrome P450-mediated metabolism of NMOR. Volatile NMOR may attach to environmental materials and be irradiated with environmental UVA light. Photoactivated NMOR-attached air pollutants could float in the air and fall onto the human body, leading to genotoxicity induced by the irradiated NMOR.

Abstract
Human exposure to DNA alkylating agents is poorly characterized, partly because only a limited range of specific alkyl DNA adducts have been quantified. The human DNA repair protein, O6-methylguanine O6-methyltransferase (MGMT), irreversibly transfers the alkyl group from DNA O6-alkylguanines (O6-alkGs) to an acceptor cysteine, allowing the simultaneous detection of multiple O6-alkG modifications in DNA by mass spectrometric analysis of the MGMT active site peptide (ASP). Recombinant MGMT was incubated with oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs) containing different O6-alkGs, Temozolomide-methylated calf thymus DNA (Me-CT-DNA), or human colorectal DNA of known O6-MethylG (O6-MeG) levels. It was digested with trypsin, and ASPs were detected and quantified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry. ASPs containing S-methyl, S-ethyl, S-propyl, S-hydroxyethyl, S-carboxymethyl, S-benzyl, and S-pyridyloxobutyl cysteine groups were detected by incubating MGMT with ODNs containing the corresponding O6-alkGs. The LOQ of ASPs containing S-methylcysteine detected after MGMT incubation with Me-CT-DNA was <0.05 pmol O6-MeG per mg CT-DNA. Incubation of MGMT with human colorectal DNA produced ASPs containing S-methylcysteine at levels that correlated with those of O6-MeG determined previously by HPLC-radioimmunoassay (r2 = 0.74; p = 0.014). O6-CMG, a putative O6-hydroxyethylG adduct, and other potential unidentified MGMT substrates were also detected in human DNA samples. This novel approach to the identification and quantitation of O6-alkGs in human DNA has revealed the existence of a human DNA alkyl adductome that remains to be fully characterized. The methodology establishes a platform for characterizing the human DNA O6-alkG adductome and, given the mutagenic potential of O6-alkGs, can provide mechanistic information about cancer pathogenesis.

Abstract
Background Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) and their pharmacologically related sartans have been associated with an increased cancer incidence in several clinical observations. In 2018, sartans were revealed as being significantly contaminated with nitrosamines. Nitrosamines are potent human mutagens that can be formed ex vivo and, more concerningly, also in vivo from nitrosatable drug precursors. Their formation in sartans may justify the reported cancer risk and, by analogy, this may also apply to ACE-Is. Materials and methods We investigated a commonly used ACE-I, ramipril (RAM). We checked its susceptibility to in vivo interaction with nitrite, potentially resulting in the generation of mutagenic N-nitrosamines. To that end, in silico simulation of mutagenicity of RAM nitroso-derivatives was performed using VEGA-GUI software. Then, the Nitrosation Assay Procedure was conducted which served as a model of endogenous reaction. The resulting post-nitrosation mixtures were subjected to a bacterial reverse mutation test employing Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100 with and without metabolic activation. Results Our results showed that studied samples did not induce point mutations in the test bacteria, regardless of the catalytic cytochrome activity. Conclusion We concluded that RAM endogenous nitrosation is not the reason for increased cancer incidence. However, other ACE-Is must be verified in a similar manner.

Abstract
N-nitrosamine impurities have been increasingly detected in human drugs. This is a safety concern as many nitrosamines are mutagenic in bacteria and carcinogenic in rodent models. Typically, the mutagenic and carcinogenic activity of nitrosamines requires metabolic activation by cytochromes P450 enzymes (CYPs), which in many in vitro models are supplied exogenously using rodent liver homogenates. There are only limited data on the genotoxicity of nitrosamines in human cell systems. In this study, we used metabolically competent human HepaRG cells, whose metabolic capability is comparable to that of primary human hepatocytes, to evaluate the genotoxicity of eight nitrosamines [N-cyclopentyl-4-nitrosopiperazine (CPNP), N-nitrosodibutylamine (NDBA), N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), N-nitrosodiisopropylamine (NDIPA), N-nitrosoethylisopropylamine (NEIPA), N-nitroso-N-methyl-4-aminobutyric acid (NMBA), and N-nitrosomethylphenylamine (NMPA)]. Under the conditions we used to culture HepaRG cells, three-dimensional (3D) spheroids possessed higher levels of CYP activity compared to 2D monolayer cells; thus the genotoxicity of the eight nitrosamines was investigated using 3D HepaRG spheroids in addition to more conventional 2D cultures. Genotoxicity was assessed as DNA damage using the high-throughput CometChip assay and as aneugenicity/clastogenicity in the flow-cytometry-based micronucleus (MN) assay. Following a 24-h treatment, all the nitrosamines induced DNA damage in 3D spheroids, while only three nitrosamines, NDBA, NDEA, and NDMA, produced positive responses in 2D HepaRG cells. In addition, these three nitrosamines also caused significant increases in MN frequency in both 2D and 3D HepaRG models, while NMBA and NMPA were positive only in the 3D HepaRG MN assay. Overall, our results indicate that HepaRG spheroids may provide a sensitive, human-based cell system for evaluating the genotoxicity of nitrosamines.

Exposure to Phosphates and Nitrites through Meat Products: Estimation of the Potential Risk to Pregnant Women. Nutrients 2023; 15:2777. [PMID: 37375681 DOI: 10.3390/nu15122777] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Revised: 06/01/2023] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Diet during pregnancy is one of the most important nutritional challenges associated with some risks for the mother and the fetus. For the first time, the study aims to estimate long-term (2018-2022) exposure to nitrate and phosphates in Serbian pregnant women, based on individual consumption data and accurate values measured in frequently consumed meat products. For this purpose, seven types of meat products, consisting of 3047 and 1943 samples, were collected from retail markets across Serbia, to analyze nitrites and phosphorus content, respectively. These data were combined with meat product consumption data from the Serbian National Food Consumption Survey to assess dietary intake of nitrites and phosphate. The results were compared with the acceptable daily intake (ADI) proposed by the European Food Safety Authority. The average dietary exposure (EDI) to phosphorus ranged from 0.733 mg/kg bw/day (liver sausage and pate) to 2.441 mg/kg bw/day (finely minced cooked sausages). Considering nitrite intake, the major sources were bacon (0.030 mg/kg bw/day) and coarsely minced cooked sausages (0.0189 mg/kg bw/day). In our study, average nitrite and phosphorus exposure in the Serbian pregnant women population are far below the EFSA recommendations (ADI 0.07 mg/kg bw/day and 40 mg/kg bw/day, respectively).
