4 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
4.1 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Alkylating Agents

Highly reactive chemicals that introduce alkyl radicals into biologically active molecules and thereby prevent their proper functioning. Many are used as antineoplastic agents, but most are very toxic, with carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, and immunosuppressant actions. They have also been used as components in poison gases. (See all compounds classified as Alkylating Agents.)


4.2 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

/MILK/ In goats, 1 hr after oral administration of 30 mg/kg bw nitrosodiethylamine, there were 11.4 mg/kg nitrosodiethylamine in milk and 11.9 mg/kg in blood. Only traces were found in milk and none in blood after 24 hr.

Autoradiographic studies indicated that non-metabolized N-nitrosodiethylamine passed to fetuses with even distribution in most fetal tissues on all studied days of gestation (day 12, 14, 16, 16 and 18) in mice. Results also indicated metabolism of the substance in mucosa of fetal bronchial tree and liver on day 18 of gestation.

4.3 Metabolism/Metabolites

Inhibition of sulfotransferase by 2,6-dichloro-4-nitrophenol completely abolished the genotoxic potential of N-nitrosodiethanolamine in rat liver as indicated by the induction of DNA single-strand breaks. The DNA strand-breaking potential of N-nitroso-2-hydroxymorpholine, a metabolite of N-nitrosodiethanolamine formed by alcohol dehydrogenase -mediated oxidation, was also almost quantitatively abolished. In contrast to these beta-hydroxylated nitrosamines, the effectiveness of N-nitrosodiethylamine remained unaffected by 2,6-dichloro-4-nitrophenol with respect to its DNA damaging potential. ... A new activation mechanism for N-nitrosodiethanolamine is proposed: N-nitrosodiethanolamine is transformed at first by alcohol dehydrogenase into the cyclic hemiacetal N-nitroso-2-hydroxymorpholine. This cyclic beta-hydroxynitrosamine appears to be a substrate for sulfotransferase. The resulting sulfate conjugate is suggested to be ultimate genotoxic electrophile. However, the results do not exclude the possibility that N-nitrosodiethanolamine itself undergoes sulfate conjugation.

Oxidative N-deethylation of NDEA accounts for the production of CO2 and alkylating species in vivo. The rate of metabolism of NDEA by slices of organs from rats and hamsters in vitro has been measured, and a correlation made between the degree of metabolism and the distribution of induced tumors. After administration of NDEA to rats or hamsters, several ethylated derivatives were produced in liver and kidney nucleic acids. These included 7-ethylguanine, O6-ethylguanine and 3-ethyladenine.

... Evidence suggests that nitrosodiethylamine requires metabolic activation in order to exert its carcinogenic and toxic effects. ... N-nitrosoethyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)amine and N-nitrosoethyl-N-(carboxymethyl)amine have been detected in urine of rats. ...

Possible relationships between structure and metabolism of nitrosamines have been investigated in the rat small intestine. Isolated segments of jejunum and ileum were perfused from the luminal side for 2 hr with a Tyrode solution containing one of four symmetrical dialkylnitrosamines with 2-5 carbon atoms per side chain, all (14)C-labeled at the alpha position, or one of two unsymmetrical nitrosamines, N-nitroso-tert-butylmethylamine and N-nitrosomethylbenzylamine, (14)C-labeled in the methyl group. Besides measurement of (14)C to intestinal tissue, the absorbed fluid (absorbate) as well as the perfusion medium and tissue homogenates were analyzed by for the presence of polar metabolites to assess the intestinal metabolism of nitrosamines. Neither N-nitrosodiethylamine nor the two unsymmetrical nitrosamines were metabolized to any significant extent.

4.4 Mechanism of Action

... It is shown that the two nitrosamines N-nitrosodiethylamine and 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone bind to nicotinic cholinergic receptors in hamster lung. Binding of the nitrosamines as well as nicotine to this receptor stimulates proliferation of human lung carcinoid cells in vitro. These data suggest chronic stimulation of nicotinic receptors by nicotine and nitrosamines in smokers as one of the molecular events responsible for stimulation of neuroendocrine cell proliferation and ultimately the development of lung tumors with neuroendocrine differentiation. ...
