Abstract excerpt
Metabolism of 14C labeled N-nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl)amine (BOP), N-nitroso(2-hydroxypropyl)(2-oxopropyl)amine (HPOP) and N-nitrosobis(2-hydroxypropyl)amine (BHP) by pancreatic duct cells in culture involves the following two pathways: reduction or oxidation reactions at the beta-carbon which result in the inter-conversion of these nitrosamines and activation reactions which result in the decomposition of the...
