The hepatocarcinogens 2-nitropropane and acetoxime have previously been found to induce a specific and qualitatively identical pattern of base damage in rat liver DNA and RNA, including the induction of increased levels of 8-hydroxyguanine. Because both 2-nitropropane and acetoxime are
Preparation of adducts from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and a number of oximes is described; these include acetoxime, pyruvatoxime, cyclohexanoxime, cyclopentanoxime. These adducts are closely related to the corresponding NAD-ketone adducts in their spectra properties, but they are stable in acid
We tested the ability of phenobarbital and two liver carcinogens, acetoxime and 1-nitroso-5,6-dihydrouracil (NDHU), to induce hyperplastic liver nodules (HLN) in MRC-Wistar and Wistar rats, using a system that included a single diethylnitrosamine (DEN) treatment, partial hepatectomy, and administration of

Ketoximes undergo a cytochrome P450-catalyzed oxidation to nitric oxide and ketones in liver microsomes. In addition, nitric oxide synthase (NOS) can catalyze the oxidative denitration of the >C=N-OH group of amidoximes. The objective of this work was to characterize the
The hepatocarcinogenicity of acetoxime has been tentatively linked with its metabolic oxidation to the potent genotoxicant and carcinogen propane 2-nitronate (P2-N). In order to test the hypothesis that acetoxime is metabolized to P2-N, the oxime (20 mM) was incubated with
