Monocrotaline is a representative naturally occurring genotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloid. Metabolism of monocrotaline by liver microsomes of F344 female rats generated (+/−)6,7-dihydro-7-hydroxy-1-hydroxymethyl-5H-pyrrolizine (DHP) and monocrotaline-N-oxide as major metabolites. Metabolism in the presence of triacetyleandomycin, a P450 3A enzyme inhibitor, reduced the formation of DHP by 52% and monocrotaline...
Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) and their N-oxide derivatives are naturally-formed genotoxic phytochemicals that are widely distributed throughout the world. Although, the quantities of PAs and PA N-oxides in plants are nearly equal, the biological and genotoxic activities of PA N-oxides have not been studied extensively. PA N-oxides are major metabolites of PAs and are generally regarded as detoxification...
