title: [Study of promutagen biotransformation in the Ames test. IV. The effect of transplanted tumors on the biotransformation of various antineoplastic agents].
abstract: The effect of transplantation of rat tumours Jensen sarcoma, sarcoma 45, sarcoma M-1, as well as of inoculation of rat normal connective tissue on the processes of biotransformation of antitumour preparations cyclophosphane (CP), thiophosphamide, prospidine and of model compound nitrosomorpholine (NM) was studied. The study was accomplished by means of the Ames test with indicator bacterial strain Salmonella typhimurium TA 1950 in relation to the reactions of the 1st and the 2nd phases of xenobiotics metabolism. It was shown that the presence of tumours leads to inhibition of both metabolic activation processes of the promutagens NM and CP and the conjugation reactions of genetically active metabolites of these compounds with reduced glutathione. Genetic danger is supposed to be increased during application of antitumour preparations, the mutagenic activity of which is due to the activity of their metabolites. It is noted that the most essential effect on biotransformation processes of NM and CP was exhibited by sarcoma M-1, the most important changes of the biotransformation processes of promutagens being observed in the initial period of pathologic process, i.e. on the 3rd day after inoculation. Transplantation of the normal connective tissue of rats had no effect on reactions of both the 1st and the 2nd phase of metabolism of the promutagens studied.
