The acute cytogenetic effects of tyramine and MTCAs, precursors of the mutagen present in soy sauce, were studied with the in vivo chromosome aberration test in rat bone marrow cells. The chemicals were administered intraperitoneally. Statistically significant positive results were

While the pathogenesis of eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome (EMS) remains obscure, the ingestion of L-trypophan (LT) and possibly certain constituents in the LT product might be associated. We investigated the effect of chemically synthesized substances, 1,1'-ethylidene bis[tryptophan] (EBT) and its decomposition product

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed to quantify 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline (TBC) and 1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline (MTBC) in human urine. Urine samples with added internal standard were subjected to a reaction with fluorescamine and solvent extractions to remove the precursor tryptamine, which readily

The excretion and distribution of 14C were studied in rats given by oral intubation 14C-labelled (-)-(1S,3S)-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline-3-carboxylic acid and its stereoisomer, (-)-(1R,3S)-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline-3-carboxylic acid (MTCAs), compounds that are known to become mutagenic on reaction with nitrite. For comparison, another group of rats
1-Methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline-3-carboxylic acid (MTCA) is one of the metabolites of peak E substance, which, based on epidemiological studies, has been thought to be a possible causative agent of the tryptophan-induced eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome. Acute ethanol and L-tryptophan administration in rats pretreated with
