โฆ Synopsis
3-hydroxy-benzo(a)pyrene (3-OH-B(a)P) and mutagenic activity in rat urine were determined after the oral administration of benzo(a)pyrene given in three repeated doses of 10, 20 and 50 pmol kg-'. The procedure for the determination of 3-OH-B(a)P consisted of enzymic hydrolysis, separation and HPLC-analysis. The mutagenic activity of concentrated urine samples was assayed with the Salmonella typhimurium strain TA98 in the presence of S9 mix and 0-glucuronidase. The urinary excretion of 3-OH-B(a)P and mutagens showed a correlation and both increased dose-dependently during the sampling period of 6 days. Data indicated that 3-OH-B(a)P can be regarded as a reliable representative of all urinary (pre)-mutagens derived from benzo(a)pyrene and exposure of rats to benzo(a)pyrene could be detected with greater sensitivity by the HPLC assay of 3-OH-B(a)P than with the non-specific mutagenicity assay.
