Effect of acyl derivatives of 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenyl-1,3-butanedione on 2-acetylaminofluorene-induced glutathione S-transferase positive foci in the rat liver.
Acyl derivatives of 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenyl-1,3-butanedione (TFPB), 1-benzoyl-2-trifluoromethyl-2-acetoxyethene (BTAE), and 1-benzoyl-2-trifluoromethyl-2-(4-methylthio)benzoyloxyethene (BTME), were synthesized and investigated for inhibition of tRNA binding by N-acetoxy-2-acetylaminofluorene (N-AcO-AAF), and induction of glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P) positive foci in the rat liver by 2-acetylaminofluorene (2-AAF). Male F344 rats were given BTAE or BTME intraperitoneally and 2-AAF by intragastric intubation. Two weeks following the treatment, the rats were maintained on the diet containing 0.05% phenobarbital for an additional 6 weeks and then killed. Development of GST-P positive foci was not affected by concomitant treatment with BTAE or BTME. These two compounds inhibited the in vitro binding of N-AcO-AAF to tRNA. Thus, although these diacylmethane derivatives had the in vitro inhibitory activity, they did not inhibit tumor-initiating activity of 2-AAF in the rat liver.
