Abstract excerpt
The tobacco-specific nitrosamine 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) is metabolized by various isozymes of cytochrome P-450 present in microsomes. In this study, we examined the effects of the isothiocyanate homologues, phenyl isothiocyanate (PITC), benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC), phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) and phenylpropyl isothiocyanate (PPITC) on the mutagenicity and in vitro metabolism of...
