RESUMEN

Nitrite was formed on incubation of N-nitrosamines with both microsomal systems and a reconstituted system consisting of cytochrome P-450 and NADPH P-450 reductase from pig liver. Nitrite was not obtained when the nitrosamines were incubated with NADPH P-450 reductase alone or when molecular oxygen or NADPH was omitted. Various inhibitors of the microsomal monooxygenase decreased nitrite generation. Furthermore, nitrite and a substantially higher amount of nitrate could be found in the urine of rats given N-nitrosodiphenylamine. Diphenylamine was also detected. From in-vitro studies, it is concluded that denitrosation of N-nitrosamines is a cytochrome P-450-dependent process, which also occurs in vivo.
