[Carcinogenic action of 5-methoxytryptamine related to its transformation into 5-methoxyindolyl-3-acetic acid].
A considerable blastomogenic effect of metabolite serotonin 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MOT) subcutaneously administered for a long time to C57BL/6 mice was established. This effect was decreased noticeably if the further metabolism of 5-MOT into 5-methoxyindolyl-3-acetic acid (5-MIAA) was blocked by pyrazidol. These results explain the fact that the blastomogenic effect of 5-MOT is not direct but is caused by the transformation of 5-MOT into its final carcinogenic metabolite 5-MIAA.
