Abstract
Myricetin (MYR) and dihydromyricetin (DHM) are classified as natural flavonoids. Both substances are known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. In this study, an in vitro model of inflammation was demonstrated on monolayers of scratched fibroblasts or keratinocytes exposed to LPS from Pseudomonas aeruginosa for six hours. MYR and DHM were subsequently applied to the cells for 24 hours at sub toxic concentrations (5-15 µM). Inflammatory parameters were analysed in collected cell medium and lysate after the incubation period using the Enzyme-Linked ImmuneSorbent Assay (ELISA) and Western blot. Both flavonoids inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8) in LPS-stimulated skin cells as well as the decreased level of MMP-1 in fibroblasts. However, the application of MYR and DHM dose dependently increased the level of MMP-1 in keratinocytes. In our experiments, we focused on the anti-glycation activity of MYR and DHM, where the higher concentration of MYR seems to be more effective.

Abstract
Lenvatinib, a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), exhibits good inhibitory effect in several types of carcinomas. Specifically, it is the most effective TKI used for treatment of thyroid cancer. To extend pharmacokinetics data on this anticancer agent, we aimed to identify the metabolites of lenvatinib formed during in vitro incubation of lenvatinib with human hepatic microsomes or recombinant cytochromes P450 (CYPs) by using high performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. The role of CYPs in the oxidation of lenvatinib was initially investigated in hepatic microsomes using specific CYP inhibitors. CYP-catalytic activities in each microsomal sample were correlated with the amounts of lenvatinib metabolites formed by these samples. Further, human recombinant CYPs were employed in the metabolic studies. Based on our data, lenvatinib is metabolized to O-desmethyl lenvatinib, N-descyclopropyl lenvatinib and lenvatinib N-oxide. In the presence of cytochrome b5, recombinant CYP3A4 was the most efficient to form these metabolites. In addition, CYP1A1 significantly contributes to the lenvatinib metabolism. It was even more efficient in forming of O-desmethyl lenvatinib than CYP3A4 in the absence of cytochrome b5. The present study indicates that further research focused on drug-drug interactions, in particular on CYP3A4 and CYP1A1 modulators, is needed. This will pave new avenues towards TKIs-mediated personalized therapy.

Abstract
The plant extract aristolochic acid (AA), containing aristolochic acids I (AAI) and II (AAII) as major components, causes aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN) and Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN), unique renal diseases associated with upper urothelial cancer. Recently (Chemical Research in Toxicology 33(11), 2804–2818, 2020), we showed that the in vivo metabolism of AAI and AAII in Wistar rats is influenced by their co-exposure (i.e., AAI/AAII mixture). Using the same rat model, we investigated how exposure to the AAI/AAII mixture can influence AAI and AAII DNA adduct formation (i.e., AA-mediated genotoxicity). Using 32P-postlabelling, we found that AA-DNA adduct formation was increased in the livers and kidneys of rats treated with AAI/AAII mixture compared to rats treated with AAI or AAII alone. Measuring the activity of enzymes involved in AA metabolism, we showed that enhanced AA-DNA adduct formation might be caused partially by both decreased AAI detoxification as a result of hepatic CYP2C11 inhibition during treatment with AAI/AAII mixture and by hepatic or renal NQO1 induction, the key enzyme predominantly activating AA to DNA adducts. Moreover, our results indicate that AAII might act as an inhibitor of AAI detoxification in vivo. Consequently, higher amounts of AAI might remain in liver and kidney tissues, which can be reductively activated, resulting in enhanced AAI DNA adduct formation. Collectively, these results indicate that AAII present in the plant extract AA enhances the genotoxic properties of AAI (i.e., AAI DNA adduct formation). As patients suffering from AAN and BEN are always exposed to the plant extract (i.e., AAI/AAII mixture), our findings are crucial to better understanding host factors critical for AAN- and BEN-associated urothelial malignancy.

Abstract
A tyrosine kinase inhibitor, vandetanib (Van), is an anticancer drug affecting the signaling of VEGFR, EGFR and RET protooncogenes. Van is primarily used for the treatment of advanced or metastatic medullary thyroid cancer; however, its usage is significantly limited by side effects, particularly cardiotoxicity. One approach to minimize them is the encapsulation or binding of Van in- or onto a suitable carrier, allowing targeted delivery to tumor tissue. Herein, we constructed a nanocarrier based on apoferritin associated with Van (ApoVan). Based on the characteristics obtained by analyzing the average size, the surface ζ-potential and the polydispersive index, ApoVan nanoparticles exhibit long-term stability and maintain their morphology. Experiments have shown that ApoVan complex is relatively stable during storage. It was found that Van is gradually released from its ApoVan form into the neutral environment (pH 7.4) as well as into the acidic environment (pH 6.5). The effect of free Van and ApoVan on neuroblastoma and medullary thyroid carcinoma cell lines revealed that both forms were toxic in both used cell lines, and minimal differences between ApoVan and Van were observed. Thus, we assume that Van might not be encapsulated into the cavity of apoferritin, but instead only binds to its surface.

Abstract
Recent progress in nanomedicine and targeted therapy brings new breeze into the field of therapeutic applications of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). These drugs are known for many side effects due to non-targeted mechanism of action that negatively impact quality of patients' lives or that are responsible for failure of the drugs in clinical trials. Some nanocarrier properties provide improvement of drug efficacy, reduce the incidence of adverse events, enhance drug bioavailability, helps to overcome the blood-brain barrier, increase drug stability or allow for specific delivery of TKIs to the diseased cells. Moreover, nanotechnology can bring new perspectives into combination therapy, which can be highly efficient in connection with TKIs. Lastly, nanotechnology in combination with TKIs can be utilized in the field of theranostics, i.e. for simultaneous therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. The review provides a comprehensive overview of advantages and future prospects of conjunction of nanotransporters with TKIs as a highly promising approach to anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Herein, the in vitro metabolism of tyrosine kinase inhibitor cabozantinib, the drug used for the treatment of metastatic medullary thyroid cancer and advanced renal cell carcinoma, was studied using hepatic microsomal samples of different human donors, human recombinant cytochromes P450 (CYPs), flavin-containing mono-oxygenases (FMOs) and aldehyde oxidase. After incubation with human microsomes, three metabolites, namely cabozantinib N-oxide, desmethyl cabozantinib and monohydroxy cabozantinib, were detected. Significant correlations were found between CYP3A4 activity and generation of all metabolites. The privileged role of CYP3A4 was further confirmed by examining the effect of CYP inhibitors and by human recombinant enzymes. Only four of all tested human recombinant cytochrome P450 were able to oxidize cabozantinib, and CYP3A4 exhibited the most efficient activity. Importantly, cytochrome b5 (cyt b5) stimulates the CYP3A4-catalyzed formation of cabozantinib metabolites. In addition, cyt b5 also stimulates the activity of CYP3A5, whereas two other enzymes, CYP1A1 and 1B1, were not affected by cyt b5. Since CYP3A4 exhibits high expression in the human liver and was found to be the most efficient enzyme in cabozantinib oxidation, we examined the kinetics of this oxidation. The present study provides substantial insights into the metabolism of cabozantinib and brings novel findings related to cabozantinib pharmacokinetics towards possible utilization in personalized medicine.

Abstract
The plant extract aristolochic acid (AA), containing aristolochic acid I (AAI) and II (AAII) as major components, causes aristolochic acid nephropathy and Balkan endemic nephropathy, unique renal diseases associated with upper urothelial cancer. Differences in the metabolic activation and detoxification of AAI and AAII and their effects on the metabolism of AAI/AAII mixture in the plant extract might be of great importance for an individual's susceptibility in the development of AA-mediated nephropathies and malignancies. Here, we investigated in vivo metabolism of AAI and AAII after ip administration to Wistar rats as individual compounds and as AAI/AAII mixture using high performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Experimental findings were supported by theoretical calculations using density functional theory. We found that exposure to AAI/AAII mixture affected the generation of their oxidative and reductive metabolites formed during Phase I biotransformation and excreted in rat urine. Several Phase II metabolites of AAI and AAII found in the urine of exposed rats were also analyzed. Our results indicate that AAI is more efficiently metabolized in rats in vivo than AAII. Whereas AAI is predominantly oxidized during in vivo metabolism, its reduction is the minor metabolic pathway. In contrast, AAII is mainly metabolized by reduction. The oxidative reaction only occurs if aristolactam II, the major reductive metabolite of AAII, is enzymatically hydroxylated, forming aristolactam Ia. In AAI/AAII mixture, the metabolism of AAI and AAII is influenced by the presence of both AAs. For instance, the reductive metabolism of AAI is increased in the presence of AAII while the presence of AAI decreased the reductive metabolism of AAII. These results suggest that increased bioactivation of AAI in the presence of AAII also leads to increased AAI genotoxicity, which may critically impact AAI-mediated carcinogenesis. Future studies are needed to explain the underlying mechanism(s) for this phenomenon.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen associated with cystic fibrosis. This bacterium produces, among other virulence factors, a soluble d-galactose-specific lectin PA-IL (LecA). PA-IL plays an important role in the adhesion to the host cells and is also cytotoxic. Therefore, this protein is an interesting therapeutic target, suitable for inhibition by carbohydrate-based compounds. In the current study, β-d-galactopyranoside-containing tri- and tetravalent glycoclusters were synthesized. Methyl gallate and pentaerythritol equipped with propargyl groups were chosen as multivalent scaffolds and the galactoclusters were built from the above-mentioned cores by coupling ethylene or tetraethylene glycol-bridges and peracetylated propargyl β-d-galactosides using 1,3-dipolar azide-alkyne cycloaddition. The interaction between galactoside derivatives and PA-IL was investigated by several biophysical methods, including hemagglutination inhibition assay, isothermal titration calorimetry, analytical ultracentrifugation, and surface plasmon resonance. Their ability to inhibit the adhesion of P. aeruginosa to bronchial cells was determined by ex vivo assay. The newly synthesized multivalent galactoclusters proved to be significantly better ligands than simple d-galactose for lectin PA-IL and as a result, two representatives of the dendrimers were able to decrease adhesion of P. aeruginosa to bronchial cells to approximately 32% and 42%, respectively. The results may provide an opportunity to develop anti-adhesion therapy for the treatment of P. aeruginosa infection.

Abstract
Series of multivalent α-l-fucoside containing glycoclusters and variously decorated l-fucosides were synthesized to find potential inhibitors of fucose-specific lectins and study the structure-binding affinity relationships. Tri- and tetravalent fucoclusters were built using copper-mediated azide-alkyne click chemistry. Series of fucoside monomers and dimers were synthesized using various methods, namely glycosylation, an azide-alkyne click reaction, photoinduced thiol-en addition, and sulfation. The interactions between compounds with six fucolectins of bacterial or fungal origin were tested using a hemagglutination inhibition assay. As a result, a tetravalent, α-l-fucose presenting glycocluster showed to be a ligand that was orders of magnitude better than a simple monosaccharide for tested lectins in most cases, which can nominate it as a universal ligand for studied lectins. This compound was also able to inhibit the adhesion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa cells to human epithelial bronchial cells. A trivalent fucocluster with a protected amine functional group also seems to be a promising candidate for designing glycoconjugates and chimeras.

Abstract
Abstract Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1 is the most important enzyme activating and detoxifying the human carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene (BaP). In the previous studies, we had shown that not only the canonic NADPH:CYP oxidoreductase (POR) can act as electron donor but also cytochrome b5 and its reductase, NADH:cytochrome b5 reductase. Here, we studied the role of the expression system used on the metabolites generated and the levels of DNA adducts formed by activated BaP. We used an eukaryotic and a prokaryotic cellular system (Supersomes, microsomes isolated from insect cells, and Bactosomes, a membrane fraction of Escherichia coli, each transfected with cDNA of human CYP1A1 and POR). These were reconstituted with cytochrome b5 with and without NADH:cytochrome b5 reductase. We evaluated the effectiveness of each cofactor, NADPH and NADH, to mediate BaP metabolism. We found that both systems differ in catalysing the reactions activating and detoxifying BaP. Two BaP-derived DNA adducts were generated by the CYP1A1-Supersomes, both in the presence of NADPH and NADH, whereas NADPH but not NADH was able to support this reaction in the CYP1A1-Bactosomes. Seven BaP metabolites were found in Supersomes with NADPH or NADH, whereas NADPH but not NADH was able to generate five BaP metabolites in Bactosomes. Our study demonstrates different catalytic efficiencies of CYP1A1 expressed in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells in BaP bioactivation indicating some limitations in the use of E. coli cells for such studies.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is a human carcinogen that covalently binds to DNA after metabolic activation by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes. Here we investigated the efficiencies of rat hepatic microsomes and rat recombinant CYP1A1 expressed with its reductase, NADPH:CYP oxidoreductase (POR), NADH:cytochrome b5 reductase, epoxide hydrolase and/or cytochrome b5 in Supersomes™ to metabolize this carcinogen. We also studied the effectiveness of coenzymes of two of the microsomal reductases, NADPH as a coenzyme of POR, and NADH as a coenzyme of NADH:cytochrome b5 reductase, to mediate BaP metabolism in these systems. Up to eight BaP metabolites and two DNA adducts were generated by the systems, both in the presence of NADPH and NADH. Among BaP metabolites, BaP-9,10-dihydrodiol, BaP-4,5-dihydrodiol, BaP-7,8-dihydrodiol, BaP-1,6-dione, BaP-3,6-dione, BaP-9-ol, BaP-3-ol, and a metabolite of unknown structure were formed by hepatic microsomes and rat CYP1A1. One of two DNA adducts formed by examined enzymatic systems (rat hepatic microsomes and rat CYP1A1) was characterized to be 10-(deoxyguanosin-N2-yl)-7,8,9-trihydroxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene (dG-N2-BPDE), while another adduct has similar chromatographic properties on polyethylaneimine-cellulose thin layer chromatography to a guanine adduct derived from reaction with 9-hydroxy-BaP-4,5-oxide. In the presence of either of the reductase cofactors tested, NADPH or NADH, cytochrome b5 stimulated CYP1A1-mediated formation of both BaP-DNA adducts. The results demonstrate that NADH can act as a sole electron donor for both the first and the second reduction of CYP1A1 during its reaction cycle catalyzing oxidation of BaP, and suggest that the NADH:cytochrome b5 reductase as the NADH-dependent reductase might substitute POR in this enzymatic system.

Abstract
Aristolochic acid I (AAI) is a plant alkaloid causing aristolochic acid nephropathy, Balkan endemic nephropathy and their associated urothelial malignancies. AAI is detoxified by cytochrome P450 (CYP)-mediated O-demethylation to 8-hydroxyaristolochic acid I (aristolochic acid Ia, AAIa). We previously investigated the efficiencies of human and rat CYPs in the presence of two other components of the mixed-functions-oxidase system, NADPH:CYP oxidoreductase and cytochrome b₅, to oxidize AAI. Human and rat CYP1A are the major enzymes oxidizing AAI. Other CYPs such as CYP2C, 3A4, 2D6, 2E1, and 1B1, also form AAIa, but with much lower efficiency than CYP1A. Based on velocities of AAIa formation by examined CYPs and their expression levels in human and rat livers, here we determined the contributions of individual CYPs to AAI oxidation in these organs. Human CYP1A2 followed by CYP2C9, 3A4 and 1A1 were the major enzymes contributing to AAI oxidation in human liver, while CYP2C and 1A were most important in rat liver. We employed flexible in silico docking methods to explain the differences in AAI oxidation in the liver by human CYP1A1, 1A2, 2C9, and 3A4, the enzymes that all O-demethylate AAI, but with different effectiveness. We found that the binding orientations of the methoxy group of AAI in binding centers of the CYP enzymes and the energies of AAI binding to the CYP active sites dictate the efficiency of AAI oxidation. Our results indicate that utilization of experimental and theoretical methods is an appropriate study design to examine the CYP-catalyzed reaction mechanisms of AAI oxidation and contributions of human hepatic CYPs to this metabolism.

Abstract
Sudan I [1-(phenylazo)-2-naphthol, C.I. Solvent Yellow 14] is an industrial dye, which was found as a contaminant in numerous foods in several European countries. Because Sudan I has been assigned by the IARC as a Category 3 carcinogen, the European Union decreed that it cannot be utilized as food colorant in any European country. Sudan I induces the malignancies in liver and urinary bladder of rats and mice. This carcinogen has also been found to be a potent mutagen, contact allergen and sensitizer, and exhibits clastogenic properties. The oxidation of Sudan I increases its toxic effects and leads to covalent adducts in DNA. Identification of enzymatic systems that contribute to Sudan I oxidative metabolism to reactive intermediates generating such covalent DNA adducts on the one hand, and to the detoxification of this carcinogen on the other, is necessary to evaluate susceptibility to this toxicant. This review summarizes the identification of such enzymes and the molecular mechanisms of oxidation reactions elucidated to date. Human and animal cytochrome P450 (CYP) and peroxidases are capable of oxidizing Sudan I. Of the CYP enzymes, CYP1A1 is most important both in Sudan I detoxification and its bio-activation. Ring-hydroxylated metabolites and a dimer of this carcinogen were found as detoxification products of Sudan I generated with CYPs and peroxidases, respectively. Oxidative bio-activation of this azo dye catalyzed by CYPs and peroxidases leads to generation of proximate genotoxic metabolites (the CYP-catalyzed formation of the benzenediazonium cation and the peroxidase-mediated generation of one-electron oxidation products), which covalently modify DNA both in vitro and in vivo. The predominant DNA adduct generated with the benzenediazonium cation was characterized to be 8-(phenylazo)guanine. The Sudan I radical species mediated by peroxidases reacts with the -NH2 group in (deoxy)guanosine, generating the 4-[(deoxy)guanosin-N(2)-yl]Sudan I product. Sudan I was also found to be a strong inducer of CYP1A1 and its enzyme activity mediated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor, thereby increasing its own genotoxic potential and the cancer risk for humans.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions play a central role in the regulation of many biochemical processes (e.g. the system participating in enzyme catalysis). Therefore, a deeper understanding of protein-protein interactions may contribute to the elucidation of many biologically important mechanisms. For this purpose, it is necessary to establish the composition and stoichiometry of supramolecular complexes and to identify the crucial portions of the interacting molecules. This study is devoted to structure-functional relationships in the microsomal Mixed Function Oxidase (MFO) complex, which is responsible for biotransformation of many hydrophobic endogenous compounds and xenobiotics. In particular, the cytochrome b5 interaction with MFO terminal oxygenase cytochrome P-450 (P450) was studied. To create photolabile probes suitable for this purpose, we prepared cytochrome b5 which had a photolabile diazirine analog of methionine (pMet) incorporated into the protein sequence, employing recombinant expression in Escherichia coli. In addition to wild-type cytochrome b5, where three methionines (Met) are located at positions 96, 126, and 131, six mutants containing only one Met in the sequence were designed and expressed (see Table 1). In these mutants, a single Met was engineered into the catalytic domain (at positions 23, 41, or 46), into the linker between the protein domains (at position 96), or into the membrane region (at positions 126 or 131). These mutants should confirm or exclude these portions of cytochrome b5 which are involved in the interaction with P450. After UV irradiation, the pMet group(s) in the photolabile cytochrome b5 probe was(were) activated, producing covalent crosslinks with the interacting parts of P450 2B4 in the close vicinity. The covalent complexes were analyzed by the "bottom up" approach with high-accuracy mass spectrometry. The analysis provided an identification of the contacts in the supramolecular complex with low structural resolution. We found that all the above-mentioned cytochrome b5 Met residues can form intermolecular crosslinks and thus participate in the interaction. In addition, our results indicate the existence of at least two P450:cytochrome b5 complexes which differ in the orientation of individual proteins. The results demonstrate the advantages of the photo-initiated crosslinking technique which is able to map the protein-protein interfaces not only in the solvent exposed regions, but also in the membrane-embedded segments (compared to a typical crosslinking approach which generally only identifies crosslinks in solvent exposed regions).

Abstract
Isolated porcine pepsinogen A was used for the preparation of polyclonal rabbit and polyclonal chicken anti-pepsinogen A antibodies. Immunochemical properties of both immunoglobulin fractions were compared. The rabbit anti-serum was further purified using immobilized porcine pepsinogen A on magnetic cellulose beads and the resulting anti-pepsinogen A fraction proved to be applicable for the separation and the determination of porcine pepsinogen A. In contrary, antibodies prepared from chicken eggs by the same way have been found not suitable for the evaluation of the pepsinogen A level. Unexpectedly, the pre-immune fraction of chicken antibodies showed reactivity against porcine pepsinogen A and the affinity separation of specific polyclonal chicken anti-pepsinogen A antibodies on immobilized porcine pepsinogen A did not result in an enrichment of anti-pepsinogen A antibodies.

Abstract
Herein, we describe an ultrasensitive specific biosensing system for detection of sarcosine as a potential biomarker of prostate carcinoma based on Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). The FRET biosensor employs anti-sarcosine antibodies immobilized on paramagnetic nanoparticles surface for specific antigen binding. Successful binding of sarcosine leads to assembly of a sandwich construct composed of anti-sarcosine antibodies keeping the Förster distance (Ro) of FRET pair in required proximity. The detection is based on spectral overlap between gold-functionalized green fluorescent protein and antibodies@quantum dots bioconjugate (λex 400 nm). The saturation curve of sarcosine based on FRET efficiency (F₆₀₄/F₅₁₀ ratio) was tested within linear dynamic range from 5 to 50 nM with detection limit down to 50 pM. Assembled biosensor was then successfully employed for sarcosine quantification in prostatic cell lines (PC3, 22Rv1, PNT1A), and urinary samples of prostate adenocarcinoma patients.

Abstract
Antibodies against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) lectin, PAIIL, which is a virulence factor mediating the bacteria binding to epithelium cells, were prepared in chickens and purified from egg yolks. To examine these antibodies as a prophylactic agent preventing the adhesion of PA we developed a well plate assay based on fluorescently labeled bacteria and immortalized epithelium cell lines derived from normal and cystic fibrosis (CF) human lungs. The antibodies significantly inhibited bacteria adhesion (up to 50%) in both cell lines. In agreement with in vivo data, our plate assay showed higher susceptibility of CF cells towards the PA adhesion as compared to normal epithelium. This finding proved the reliability of the developed experimental system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cytochromes P450 (CYP) are monooxygenases, which metabolize mostly hydrophobic endogenous and exogenous compounds. CYPs without any clear connection to metabolism are called "orphans". Interestingly, these "orphan" CYPs are over-expressed in tumor tissues. Thus, the main aim of the paper is the development of antibodies for immunodetection of these CYPs as potential malignancy markers. METHODS Unique sequences of CYP2S1 and 2W1 were selected and peptides synthesized. Chickens were immunized with peptides bound to hemocyanin (KLH). The antibodies were isolated from egg yolks and their reactivity was tested by ELISA. Antibodies were further affinity purified on immobilized peptides. Western blots containing CYP2S1 and 2W1 standards were developed with purified antibodies. RESULTS Using unique peptide immunogens of CYP2S1 and 2W1 the antibodies were developed. As judged from ELISA all chickens produced specific antibodies against the respective peptides. Both affinity purified antibodies against CYP2S1 peptide recognized the CYP2S1 standard on Western blots, but only one of four anti-peptide antibodies against CYP2W1 reacted with CYP2W1 standard. The antibodies were used for the detection of CYPs in cancer cell lines and human tissues samples. Although both CYPs were frequently co-expressed in cancer cells, CYP2S1 was solely induced in the cell line BxPC3, while CYP2W1 was predominantly present in cell lines MCF7 and HeLa. Our data show that anti-peptide antibodies are an indispensable tool for detection of homologous CYPs. CONCLUSIONS The anti-peptide antibodies successfully recognized CYP2S1 and 2W1 in the cancer cell lines and tissue samples.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Dihydromyricetin (DHM) is a flavonoid, which has been shown to antagonize effects of ethanol intoxication. As a potential pharmacological agent, its biological interactions with enzymes metabolizing foreign compounds should be tested. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the influence of DHM on the induction and metabolic activity of selected cytochromes P450 (CYPs). METHODS After flavonoid administration by oral gavage to stomach the CYP expression at protein and mRNA levels was determined in rat liver and small intestine. The effects of flavonoids on CYP1A1/2, CYP1A2 or CYP2B1/2 enzyme activities in microsomes were measured using marker activities of these enzymes. Flavonoid-mediated inhibition of recombinant CYP1A2 was also assayed with luciferin-ME substrate. The flavonoid interaction with aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) was assayed by reporter luciferase activity in Hep2G cells. RESULTS The value of half maximal inhibitory concentration of DHM for CYP1A1/2, CYP1A2, and CYP2B1 were determined to be 4.1, 14.2, and 98.5 mmol.L(-1), respectively. With the exception of a weak induction of CYP2B1 and CYP1A2 in the middle part of small intestine and in the liver, respectively, DHM did not affect the CYP expression at protein levels. On the contrary, real-time PCR revealed elevated expression of CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 mRNA in proximal part of the small intestine while decreased in the middle part. In the study utilizing the HepG2 cells, DHM showed only an additive effect on the benzo[a]pyrene-mediated activation of Ah receptor. CONCLUSIONS Dihydromyricetin doesn't significantly interfere with metabolic activity of CYP1A1/2 and CYP2B1 enzymes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN) is a chronic progressive fibrosis associated with upper urothelial carcinoma (UUC). Aetiology of BEN is still not fully explained. Although carcinogenic aristolochic acid I (AAI) was proven as the major cause of BEN/UUC, this nephropathy is considered to be multifactorial. Hence, we investigated whether other factors considered as potential causes of BEN [a mycotoxin ochratoxin A (OTA), Cd, Pb, Se and As ions and organic compounds (i.e. phthalates) released from lignite deposits in BEN areas] can influence detoxication of AAI, whose concentrations are crucial for BEN development. METHODS Oxidation of AAI to 8-hydroxyaristolochic acid I (AAIa) in the presence of Cd, Pb, Se, As ions, dibutylphthalate (DBP), butylbenzylphthalate (BBP), bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) and OTA by rat liver microsomes was determined by HPLC. RESULTS Only OTA, cadmium and selenium ions, and BBP inhibited AAI oxidation by rat liver microsomes. These compounds also inhibited activities of CYP1A1 and/or CYP2C6/11 catalysing AAI demethylation in rat livers. Therefore, these CYP inhibitions can be responsible for a decrease in AAIa formation. When the combined effects of these compounds were investigated, the most efficient inhibition was caused by OTA combined with BBP and selenium ions. CONCLUSION The results show low effects of BBP, cadmium and selenium ions, and/or their combinations on AAI detoxication. No effects were produced by the other metal ions (Pb, As) and phthalates DBP and DEHP. This finding suggests that they do not influence AAI-mediated BEN development. In contrast, OTA might influence this process, by inhibition of AAI detoxication.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The improvements of cancer treatment are the major challenge in oncology research. Nanocarriers are one of the promising approaches to selectively target tumor cells, frequently leading to improve drug therapeutic index. Ellipticine is an anticancer agent that functions through multiple mechanisms. Here, the toxic effects of an anticancer drug ellipticine encapsulated in a micellar nanotransporter and free ellipticine on human HL-60 leukemia cells and formation of ellipticine-derived DNA adducts by both forms of the drug in these cells were investigated. METHODS The toxicity of modified ellipticine on cells was compared to that of free ellipticine using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazoliumbromide cytotoxicity assay. 32P-postlabeling was utilized to determine ellipticine-DNA adducts in treated cells. RESULTS The comparison of efficiencies of free ellipticine and ellipticine-micelles [the poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(allyl glycidyl ether) block copolymer] to form ellipticine-derived DNA adducts in leukemia HL-60 cells and to act as cytotoxic agent on these cells was performed. Exposure of HL-60 cells to ellipticine in micelles resulted in formation of ellipticine-DNA adducts and caused the cytotoxic effect on these cells. The influence of ellipticine in micelles on HL-60 cells was very similar to that of free ellipticine. The ellipticine half maximal inhibition concentration was determined as 1.3±0.3 µmol.L(-1) and 1.4±0.3 µmol.L(-1) for ellipticine and ellipticine in micelles, respectively. Likewise, the levels of ellipticine-DNA adducts generated in HL-60 cells by both forms of ellipticine were analogous. CONCLUSION The results found in this work demonstrate similar cytotoxicity and DNA-damaging effects of ellipticine and its micellar form on leukemia HL-60 cells in vitro.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Exposure to the plant nephrotoxin and carcinogen aristolochic acid (AA) leads to the development of AA nephropathy, Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN) and upper urothelial carcinoma (UUC) in humans. Beside AA, exposure to ochratoxin A (OTA) was linked to BEN. Although OTA was rejected as a factor for BEN/UUC, there is still no information whether the development of AA-induced BEN/UUC is influenced by OTA exposure. Therefore, we studied the influence of OTA on the genotoxicity of AA (AA-DNA adduct formation) in vivo. AA-DNA adducts were formed in liver and kidney of rats treated with AA or AA combined with OTA, but no OTA-related DNA adducts were detectable in rats treated with OTA alone or OTA combined with AA. Compared to rats treated with AA alone, AA-DNA adduct levels were 5.4- and 1.6-fold higher in liver and kidney, respectively, of rats treated with AA combined with OTA. Although AA and OTA induced NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) activating AA to DNA adducts, their combined treatment did not lead to either higher NQO1 enzyme activity or higher AA-DNA adduct levels in ex vivo incubations. Oxidation of AA I (8-methoxy-6-nitrophenanthro[3,4-d]-1,3-dioxole-5-carboxylic acid) to its detoxification metabolite, 8-hydroxyaristolochic acid, was lower in microsomes from rats treated with AA and OTA, and this was paralleled by lower activities of cytochromes P450 1A1/2 and/or 2C11 in these microsomes. Our results indicate that a decrease in AA detoxification after combined exposure to AA and OTA leads to an increase in AA-DNA adduct formation in liver and kidney of rats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES As an alternative therapeutic approach for the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections with P. aeruginosa of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, chicken yolk antibodies (IgY) could be used. The most significant advantage of IgY, in contrast to mammalian IgG, consists in the fact, that when bound to the antigen, they usually do not induce inflammatory reaction. In addition, the simplicity of egg production and the ease of IgY preparation makes this kind of antibody an excellent tool for passive immunization. Thus, the aim of our project was to study the effect of IgY and its Fab fragment on the potential induction of pro-inflammatory reactions in lung epithelial cells. METHODS Chicken IgY were prepared from pooled egg yolks. Fab fragmens of IgY were purified from the papain digest of IgY using DEAE-Sephacel ion exchange chromatography. Their purity was verified by SDS electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel. Immortalized human cell lines, CuFi (CF patient) and NuLi (healthy subject), and A549 (human adenocarcinoma cells) were exposed to IgY, Fab, OVA, LPS (positive control), PBS (negative control), and human and goat IgG for 24 hours. The concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and GM-CSF were determined in cell media using the BioPlex method, which enables the quantification of multiple analytes simultaneously in one sample. RESULTS Our results show that i) the Fab fragment induced levels of some proinflammatory cytokines, when compared to the PBS control, whereas ii) chicken IgYs did not induce any notable production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in contrast to intense effect of LPS on TNF-α and GM-CSF. In summary, our data show that levels of all cytokines are comparable with physiological values in human serum except of IL-1β, which concentration in cell medium was markedly elevated by Fab fragment. CONCLUSIONS The present data indicate that IgY are not inflammatory for lung cells and thus they are possibly applicable for prevention of airway bacterial infections.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Dicoumarol is known to act as an inhibitor of NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1). This cytosolic reductase significantly contributes to the genotoxicity of the nephrotoxic and carcinogenic alkaloid aristolochic acid I (AAI). Aristolochic acid causes aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN), and Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN), as well as associated urothelial malignancies. NQO1 is the most efficient enzyme responsible for the reductive bioactivation of AAI to species forming covalent AAI-DNA adducts. However, it is still not known how dicoumarol influences the NQO1-mediated reductive bioactivation of AAI. METHODS AAI-DNA adduct formation was determined by 32P-postlabeling. Expression of NQO1 mRNA and NQO1 protein was determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting, respectively. RESULTS In this study, dicoumarol inhibited AAI bioactivation to form AAI-DNA adducts mediated by rat and human NQO1 in vitro as expected. We however, demonstrated that dicoumarol acts as an inducer of NQO1 in kidney and lung of rats treated with this NQO1 inhibitor in vivo, both at protein and activity levels. This NQO1 induction increased the potency of kidney cytosol to bioactivate AAI and elevated AAI-DNA adduct levels were found in ex-vivo incubations of AAI with renal cytosols and DNA. NQO1 mRNA levels were induced in liver only by dicoumarol. CONCLUSION Our results indicate a dual role of dicoumarol in NQO1-mediated genotoxicty of AAI. It acts both as an NQO1 inhibitor mainly in vitro and as an NQO1 inducer if administered to rats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The mammalian mixed function oxidase (MFO) system participates in hydroxylation of many hydrophobic endogenous compounds as well as xenobiotics such as drugs and carcinogens. This biotransformation system, located in a membrane of endoplasmic reticulum, consists of cytochrome P-450 (P450), NADPH:P450 oxidoreductase and a facultative component, cytochrome b5. The knowledge of the interactions among the individual components of the MFO system is essential to understand the relationships between the structure and function of this system that finally dictate a qualitative and quantitative pattern of produced metabolites (e.g. detoxified xenobiotics and/or activated carcinogens). To elucidate the quantitative aspects of the interactions within the MFO system we acquired the photo-initiated cross-linking approach. METHODS The photo-initiated cross-linking employing cytochrome b5 as a protein nanoprobe [an amino acid analogue of methionine (pMet) was incorporated into cytochrome b5 sequence during recombinant expression] was used to quantify its interaction with P450 2B4 in a functional membrane complex. The cross-linking was initiated by UV-irradiation that formed from a pMet photolabile diazirine group highly reactive carbene biradical. This biradical is able to covalently bind amino acids in the close proximity and to form cross-link. The Met 96 of cytochrome b5 is situated in a linker region between its catalytic and membrane domains, while Met 126 and 131 are located in its membrane domain. The combination of several methods (electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel, isoelectric focusing, Edman N-terminal degradation and amino acid analysis) was employed to characterize the molar ratio of P450 2B4 to cytochrome b5 in formed covalent cross-links to quantify their transient interactions. RESULTS The successfully produced cytochrome b5 nanoprobe (with confirmed pMet incorporation by mass spectrometry) stimulates the catalytical activity of P450 2B4 when reconstituted with NADPH:P450 oxidoreductase in vitro in dilauroylphosphatidylcholine (DLPC) vesicles. The cross-linking was carried out in similar reconstituted system without NADPH:P450 oxidoreductase, and at least three products were separated on 1D SDS-PAGE. The molar ratio of P450 to cytochrome b5 in each complex was estimated using the above-mentioned combination of methods as 1:1, 1:2 and 2:1. CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrate the utility of cytochrome b5 nanoprobe to study the interactions in MFO system. Using this nanoprobe, heterodimer with P450 2B4 and in addition also heterooligomers were identified, suggesting rather complex interactions of both proteins in this system that suppose the formation of such multimeric structures in the membrane of endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Flavanol dihydromyricetin (DHM) has been shown to counteract acute ethanol (EtOH) intoxication and reduce excessive EtOH consumption. Since this flavonoid is being considered for human use, the in vivo study of DHM interactions with the cytochrome P450 (CYP) multienzyme system in the respect of metabolic activation of a model food-born carcinogen, benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), is of high importance. Flavonoids of known properties, alpha-naphthoflavone (ANF) and beta-naphthoflavone (BNF) were included into the study to compare their and DHM effects on BaP-DNA adduct formation. METH0 DS: The flavonoids were administered by oral gavage either 72 hrs prior or simultaneously with a single dose of BaP to experimental rats. The expression of CYP1A1/2 enzymes was examined based on the enzymatic activity with a marker substrate, 7-ethoxyresorufin, and on Western blots. The nuclease P1 version of the 32P-postlabeling assay was used to detect and quantify covalent DNA adducts formed by BaP. RESULTS Treatment of rats with a single dose of DHM or ANF prior to or simultaneously with BaP did not produce an increase in levels of CYP1A1 and in formation of BaP-DNA adducts in liver. BNF, a known inducer of CYP1A1, showed a synergistic effect on BaP-mediated CYP1A1 induction and BaP activation in liver. Contrary to that, in small intestine the stimulatory effect of BNF on both parameters was not detected. Animal pre-treatment with DHM or ANF before BaP administration resulted in a significant elevation of BaP-DNA adducts, namely in the distal part of small intestine, while the CYP1A1 mediated 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylation (EROD) was decreased markedly. It is important to note that under all regimens of animal treatment, DHM or ANF produced the higher inhibitory effect on the BaP-DNA adduct formation and BaP-induced EROD activity of CYP1A1 when administered simultaneously than sequentially with BaP. Our data show that DHM or ANF did not enhance the BaP-activation leading to BaP-mediated genotoxicity (the formation of BaP-DNA adducts) in rat liver, however, in small intestine the pretreatment of rats with these flavonoids may enhance BaP genotoxicity. CONCLUSIONS The data indicate that the intake of DHM prior to or simultaneously with the administration of BaP may increase the risk of a BaP-induced tumorigenesis in small intestine.

Abstract
Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is a human carcinogen requiring metabolic activation prior to reaction with DNA. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1 is the most important hepatic and intestinal enzyme in both BaP activation and detoxification. CYP1A2 is also capable of oxidizing BaP, but to a lesser extent. The induction of CYP1A1/2 by BaP and/or β-naphthoflavone in liver and small intestine of rats was investigated. Both BaP and β-naphthoflavone induced CYP1A expression and increased enzyme activities in both organs. Moreover, the induction of CYP1A enzyme activities resulted in an increase in formation of BaP-DNA adducts detected by (32)P-postlabeling in rat liver and in the distal part of small intestine in vivo. The increases in CYP1A enzyme activity were also associated with bioactivation of BaP and elevated BaP-DNA adduct levels in ex vivo incubations of microsomes of both organs with DNA and BaP. These findings indicate a stimulating effect of both compounds on BaP-induced carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Sudan I (1-phenylazo-2-hydroxynaphthol) is a suspected human carcinogen causing tumors in the livers and urinary bladders of rats, mice, and rabbits. Here, we investigated for the first time the influence of Sudan I exposure on the expression of several biotransformation enzymes in the livers, kidneys, and lungs of rats concomitantly at the mRNA and protein levels and assayed their enzymatic activities. We also studied its effect on the formation of Sudan I-derived DNA adducts in vitro. Sudan I increased the total amounts of cytochrome P450 (P450) in all organs tested. Western blots using antibodies raised against various P450s, NADPH:P450 reductase, and NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) showed that the expression of P450 1A1 and NQO1 was induced in the liver, kidney, and lung of rats treated with Sudan I. The higher protein levels correlated with increased enzyme activities of P450 1A1/2 and NQO1. Furthermore, 9.9-, 5.9-, and 2.8-fold increases in the formation of Sudan I oxidative metabolites catalyzed by microsomes isolated from the liver, kidney, and lung, respectively, of rats treated with Sudan I were found. The relative amounts of P450 1A and NQO1 mRNA, measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis, demonstrated that Sudan I induced the expression of P450 1A1 and NQO1 mRNA in the liver, kidney, and lung, and of P450 1A2 mRNA in kidney and lung. Finally, microsomes isolated from livers, kidneys, and lungs of Sudan I exposed rats more effectively catalyzed the formation of Sudan I-DNA adducts than microsomes from organs of control rats. This was attributable to the higher P450 1A1 expression. Because P450 1A1 is playing a major role in the bioactivation of Sudan I in rat and human systems, its induction by Sudan I may have a profound effect on cancer risk by this azo dye. In addition, the induction of P450 1A1/2 and NQO1 enzymes can influence individual human susceptibility to other environmental carcinogens and have an effect on cancer risk.

Abstract
2-Methoxyaniline (o-anisidine) is an industrial and environmental pollutant causing tumors of urinary bladder in rodents. Here, we investigated the formation and persistence of DNA adducts in the Wistar rat. Using the (32)P-postlabeling method, three o-anisidine-derived DNA adducts were found in several organs of rats treated with a total dose of 0.53 mg o-anisidine/kg body wt (0.15, 0.18, and 0.2 mg/kg body wt ip in the first, second, and third day, respectively), of which the urinary bladder had the highest levels. At four posttreatment times (1 day, 13 days, 10 weeks, and 36 weeks), DNA adducts in bladder, liver, kidney, and spleen of rats were analyzed to study their persistence. In all time points, the highest total adduct levels were found in urinary bladder (39 adducts per 10(7) nucleotides after 1 day and 15 adducts per 10(7) nucleotides after 36 weeks) where 39% adducts remained. In contrast to the urinary bladder, no persistence was detected in other organs. All three DNA adducts were identified as deoxyguanosine adducts. When deoxyguanosine was reacted with the oxidative metabolite of o-anisidine, N-(2-methoxyphenyl)hydroxylamine, three adducts could be separated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and were identified by mass spectroscopy and/or nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. All adducts are products of the nitrenium/carbenium ions, the reactive species generated from N-(2-methoxyphenyl)hydroxylamine. The major adduct was identified to be N-(deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-2-methoxyaniline. Using cochromatography on HPLC, this adduct was found to be identical to the major adduct generated by activation of o-anisidine in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The cytochrome P450 (P450) and cytochrome b5 are membrane hemoproteins composing together with flavoprotein NADPH:P450 reductase a mixed function oxidase (MFO) system. The knowledge of the interaction between P450 and its redox partners within a MFO system is fundamental to understand P450 reaction mechanism, an electron transport from its redox partner and also detoxification of xenobiotics and/or metabolism of endogenous substrates with all positive or negative aspects for organisms. METHODS The chemical cross-linking by soluble carbodiimide (EDC) in combination with the liquid chromatography coupled with high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) has been employed to characterize the contact surface regions involved in the transient interaction between two catalytic domains of P450 2B4 and cytochrome b5. RESULTS The cross-linking reaction was accomplished in an equimolar catalytic complex of P450 2B4:cytochrome b5 and the covalent hetero-dimers detected on SDS-PAGE electrophoresis were analyzed (after in gel trypsin digestion) using LC-HRMS to identify cross-linked amino-acid residues. The computed in silico models of P450 2B4:cytochrome b5 complex using amino-acids participating in cross-links (Asp134, Lys139, Glu424 and Glu439 located on a proximal surface of P450 2B4) suggest interpretation that two different types of cytochrome b5 orientations are present in the studied interaction within a MFO system: the first allowing potential cytochrome b5 electron donation to P450, the second one inducing cytochrome b5 modulation of P450 structural changes. CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrated the capability of the used experimental approach to map the interaction between P450 and cytochrome b5 suggesting the formation of multi-meric structures within a MFO system as interpretation of the two observed mutual orientations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The herbal drug aristolochic acid (AA) derived from Aristolochia species has been shown to be the cause of aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN), Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN) and their urothelial malignancies. One of the common features of AAN and BEN is that not all individuals exposed to AA suffer from nephropathy and tumor development. One cause for these different responses may be individual differences in the activities of the enzymes catalyzing the biotransformation of AA. Thus, the identification of enzymes principally involved in the metabolism of AAI, the major toxic component of AA, and detailed knowledge of their catalytic specificities is of major importance. Therefore, the present study has been designed to evaluate the cytochrome P450 (CYP)-mediated oxidative detoxification and reductive activation of AAI in a rat model. METHODS DNA adduct formation was investigated by the nuclease P1 version of the 32P-postlabeling method. The CYP-mediated formation of a detoxication metabolite of AAI, 8-hydroxyaristolochic acid I (AAIa), in vitro in rat hepatic microsomes was determined by HPLC. RESULTS Rat hepatic CYPs both detoxicate AAI by its oxidation to AAIa and reductively activate this carcinogen to a cyclic N-acylnitrenium ion forming AAI-DNA adducts in vitro. To define the role of hepatic CYPs in AAI demethylation and activation, the modulation of AAIa and AAI-DNA adduct formation by CYP inducers and selective CYP inhibitors was investigated. Based on these studies, we attribute the major role of CYP1A1 and 1A2 in AAI detoxication by its demethylation to AAIa, and, under hypoxic conditions also to AAI activation to species forming DNA adducts. Using microsomes of Baculovirus transfected insect cells (Supersomes™) containing recombinantly expressed rat CYPs, NADPH:CYP reductase and/or cytochrome b5, a major role of CYP1A1 and 1A2 in both reactions in vitro was confirmed. CONCLUSION Based on the results found in this and former studies we propose that AAI activation and detoxication in rats are dictated mainly by AAI binding affinity to CYP1A1/2 or NADPH(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase, by their turnover and by the balance between oxidation and reduction of AAI by CYP1A.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) are carcinogens, which frequently occur in the human diet. Their metabolic activation to reactive species binding to DNA is mediated by cytochromes P450 (CYPs) 1A1 and 1A2. Thus, levels and activities of these CYPs are crucial for initiation of BaP- and PhPI-mediated carcinogenesis. Here, the effect of CYP1A1/2 induction due to their prototype flavonoid inducer, β-naphthoflavone (BNF), on BaP- and PhPI-derived DNA adduct formation in rats was examined. METHODS Male rats pretreated with BNF were treated with a single dose of either carcinogen by oral gavage. Nuclease P1 version of 32P-postlabeling assay and online column-switching liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry were used to detect and quantify covalent DNA adducts formed by BaP and PhIP in-vivo, respectively. Expression of CYP1A1/2 enzymes was examined by Western blot. Enzymatic activities of CYP1A1/2 were assessed using their marker substrates (ethoxyresorufin and methoxyresorufin). RESULTS Treatment of rats with a single dose of BNF produced an increase in levels CYP1A1/2 and CYP1A1 proteins in liver and small intestine, respectively. An increase in CYP1A1 protein expression found in both organs correlated well with specific activities of these CYPs. The CYP1A1 expression levels and its specific activity in small intestine decreased along the length of the organ, being highest in its proximal part and lowest in its distal part. The BNF induction of CYP1A1/2 resulted in a significant increase in the formation of BaP- and PhIP-DNA adducts in liver and in the distal part of the small intestine, respectively. Thus, pretreatment of rats with BNF did not prevent the PhIP and BaP activation, but vice versa, enhanced their genotoxicity. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study demonstrate that the administration of only a single dose of CYP-inducing flavonoid prior to the intake of food carcinogens may increase the risk of a tumor formation.

Abstract
o-Aminophenol and N-(2-methoxyphenyl)hydroxylamine are human metabolites of the industrial and environmental pollutant and bladder carcinogen 2-methoxyaniline (o-anisidine). The latter one is also a human metabolite of another pollutant and bladder carcinogen, 2-methoxynitrobenzene (o-nitroanisole). Here, we investigated the ability of rat hepatic micro- somes to metabolize these metabolites. N-(2-methoxyphenyl)hydroxylamine is metabolized by rat hepatic microsomes to o-aminophenol and predominantly o-anisidine, the parent carcinogen from which N-(2-methoxyphenyl)hydroxylamine is formed. In addition, two N-(2-methoxyphenyl)hydroxylamine metabolites, whose exact structures have not been identified as yet, were generated. On the contrary, no metabolites were found to be formed from o-aminophenol by rat hepatic microsomes. Whereas N-(2-methoxyphenyl)hydroxylamine is responsible for formation of three deoxyguanosine adducts in DNA, o-aminophenol seems to be a detoxication metabolite of N-(2-methoxyphenyl)hydroxylamine and/or a parental carcinogen, o-anisidine; no o-aminophenol-derived DNA adducts were found after its reaction with microsomal cytochromes P450 and peroxidases.

Abstract
Sudan I [1-(phenylazo)-2-hydroxynaphthalene, C.I. Solvent Yellow 14, CAS No: 842-07-9] is used as the compound employed in chemical industry and to color materials such as hydrocarbon solvents, oils, fats, waxes, plastics, printing inks, shoe and floor polishes and gasoline. Such a wide used could result in a considerable human exposure. Sudan I is known to cause developments of tumors in the liver or urinary bladder in rats, mice, and rabbits, and is considered a possible weak human carcinogen and mutagen. This carcinogen is also a potent contact allergen and sensitizer. Here, we compare the data concerning the Sudan I oxidative metabolism catalyzed by cytochrome P450 (CYP) and peroxidase enzymes, which has been investigated in our laboratory during the last two decades. These two types of enzymes are responsible both for Sudan I detoxication and activation. Among the Sudan I metabolites, C-hydroxylated derivatives and a dimer of Sudan I are suggested to be the detoxication metabolites formed by CYPs and peroxidases, respectively. Metabolic activation of Sudan I by both types of enzymes leads to formation of reactive species (the benzenediazonium ion by CYP and Sudan I radicals by peroxidase) that bind to DNA and RNA, generating covalent adducts in vitro and in vivo. Whereas the structure of the major adduct formed by the benzenediazonium ion in DNA has already been identified to be the 8-(phenylazo)guanine adduct, the structures of adducts formed by peroxidase, have not been characterized as yet. Biological significance of the DNA adducts of Sudan I activated with CYP and peroxidase enzymes and further aims of investigations in this field are discussed in this study.

Abstract
3-aminobenzanthrone (3-ABA) is the metabolite of the carcinogenic air pollutant 3-nitrobenzanthrone (3-NBA). 3-ABA was investigated for its ability to induce cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) and NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) in kidney and lung of rats, and for the influence of such induction on DNA adduct formation by 3-ABA and 3-NBA. NQO1 is the enzyme that reduces 3-NBA to N-hydroxy-3-aminobenzanthrone (N-OH-3-ABA) and CYP1A enzymes oxidize 3-ABA to the same intermediate. When activated by cytosolic and and/or microsomal fractions isolated from rat lung, the target organ for 3-NBA carcinogenicity, and kidney, both compounds generated the same DNA-adduct pattern, consisting of five adducts. When pulmonary cytosols isolated from rats that had been treated i.p. with 40 mg/kg bw of 3-ABA were incubated with 3-NBA, DNA adduct formation was up to 1.7-fold higher than in incubations with cytosols from control animals. This increase corresponded to an increase in protein level and enzymatic activity of NQO1. In contrast, no induction of NQO1 expression by 3-ABA treatment was found in the kidney. Incubations of 3-ABA with renal and pulmonary microsomes of 3-ABA-treated rats led to an increase of up to a 4.5-fold in DNA-adduct formation relative to controls. The stimulation of DNA-adduct formation correlated with a higher protein expression and activity of CYP1A1 induced by 3-ABA. These results show that by inducing lung and kidney CYP1A1 and NQO1, 3-ABA increases its own enzymatic activation as well as that of the environmental pollutant, 3-NBA, thereby enhancing the genotoxic and carcinogenic potential of both compounds.

Abstract
Increasing attention is being paid to the possibility of applying chemopreventive agents for the protection of individuals from cancer risk. The beneficial potential of chemoprotective compounds is usually well documented by extensive experimental data. To assure the desired effect, these compounds are frequently concentrated to produce dietary supplements for human use. The additive and synergistic effects of other food constituents are, however, frequently ignored. Even natural chemopreventive compounds have to be considered as xenobiotics. Thus, as much attention has to be paid to their testing prior to their wide application as is usual in drug development for human treatment. Unfortunately, much of the research in this area is solely based on simplified in vitro systems that cannot take into account the complexity of biotransformation processes, e.g. chemopreventive compound-drug interaction, effect on metabolism of endogenic compounds. Hence, the predicted chemopreventive potential is not attained in respect of cancer prevention; moreover, the administration of high doses of chemopreventive compounds might be even detrimental for the human health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the effect of various flavonoids on the NADPH:cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (CYPOR) activity in respect of the reduction of different electron acceptors as well as to study an impact of flavonoids on monooxygenation of a model substrate of cytochrome P450 (CYP). DESIGN The modulation of CYPOR activity was determined spectrophotometrically based on the time course of the reduction of different electron acceptors. The CYP reduction was monitored via its complex formation with CO, having pronounced the absorption maximum at 450 nm. Finally, effect of CYPOR stimulation by 7,8benzoflavone (ANF) on 7pentoxyresorufin Odepentylation was assayed in the microsomal monooxygenation system using the fluorimetric detection of formed resorufin. RESULTS The stimulation of CYPOR activity via ANF was found to be associated with following electron acceptors: cytochrome c, potassium ferricyanide, cytochrome b5, but not with CYP. Surprisingly, 5,6benzoflavone, a position isomer of ANF, was ineffective in the CYPOR stimulation as well as the other flavonoids tested. In microsomal preparations, ANF did not markedly enhance the reaction rate of monooxygenation of CYP2B4 model substrate. CONCLUSION Our results document that among all of the tested flavonoids only ANF is able to stimulate CYPOR activity, however, the ANF-mediated stimulation of CYPOR has no impact on the oxidative metabolism catalyzed by CYP system.

Abstract
The series of diamondoids: adamantane, diamantane, triamantane, 2-isopropenyl-2-methyladamantane and 3-isopropenyl-3-methyldiamantane (3-IPMDIA), were employed to elucidate the molecular basis of their interaction with the active site of cytochromes P450 (CYP) of a 2B subfamily. These potent inhibitors of CYP2B enzymes were docked into the homology model of CYP2B4. Apparent dissociation constants calculated for the complexes of CYP2B4 with docked diamandoids agreed closely with the experimental data showing inhibition potency of the compounds and their binding affinity to CYP2B4. Superimposed structures of docked diamondoids mapped binding site residues. As they are mainly non-polar residues, the hydrophobicity plays the major role in the binding of diamondoids. Overlapping structure of diamondoids defined an elliptical binding cavity (5.9A inner diameter, 7.9A length) forming an angle of approximately 43 degrees with the heme plane. CYP2B specific diamondoids, namely 3-IPMDIA, showing the highest binding affinity, should be considered for a potential clinical use.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Ellipticine is a potent antineoplastic agent exhibiting multiple mechanisms of its action. Recently, we have found that 13-hydroxyellipticine, formed from ellipticine as the predominant metabolite in human livers, is bound to deoxyguanosine in DNA, generating the major DNA adduct in vivo and in vitro. The development of the methods suitable for the preparation of this adduct in the amounts sufficient for identification of its structure and those for its isolation and partial characterization is the aim of this study. METHODS High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was employed for separation of 13-hydroxyellipticine-mediated deoxyguanosine adduct. The 32P-postlabeling technique was utilized to detect this adduct in DNA. RESULTS The formation of the 13-hydroxyellipticine-derived deoxyguanosine adduct in DNA in vitro was increased under the alkaline pH of the incubations and by the formation of the sulfate and acetate conjugates of 13-hydroxyellipticine generated by reactions with 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) or acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) catalyzed by human sulfotransferases (SULTs) 1A1 and 1A2 and N,O-acetyltransferases (NATs) 1 and 2. The HPLC method suitable for separation the 13-hydroxyellipticine-derived deoxyguanosine adduct from other reactants, deoxyguanosine and 13-hydroxyellipticine, was developed. The structure of this adduct is proposed to correspond to the product formed from ellipticine-13-ylium with the exocyclic 2-NH2 group of guanine in DNA. CONCLUSIONS The data are the first report on HPLC isolation of the deoxyguanosine adduct formed by 13-hydroxyellipticine in DNA and its partial characterization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to examine oxidation of carcinogenic Sudan I by peroxidase and characterize the structure of its two major peroxidasemediated metabolites. Another target of the study was to evaluate a mechanism of this oxidation. METHODS Thin layer chromatography (TLC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with ultraviolet (UV) and visible (VIS) detection was employed for the separation of Sudan I metabolites formed by peroxidase. UV/ VIS-, and mass- spectroscopy as well as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) were used to characterize structures of two major Sudan I metabolites. RESULTS Peroxidase oxidizes Sudan I by a one electron oxidation to eight products. Two major Sudan I metabolites were isolated by TLC on silica gel and HPLC and structurally characterized. The major product formed during the Sudan I oxidation by peroxidase is Sudan I metabolite M2, which corresponds to a Sudan I dimer molecule. The second major metabolite (M1) is the product of secondary, enzyme independent reactions, being formed from the Sudan I dimer that lost the benzenediazonium moiety. CONCLUSIONS The data are the first report on structural characterization of Sudan I metabolites formed by its oxidation with peroxidase.
