Biochem/physiol Actions

AαC (2-Amino-9H-pyrido[2-3-b]indole) is a potential human carcinogen, which is generated by the combustion of tobacco, or by pyrolysis of protein. AαC potentially contributes to liver or digestive tract cancers. Inside body AαC is metabolized to intermediates (possibly short-lived nitrenium ion of AαC) that react with DNA.

2-Amino-9H-pyrido[2,3-b]indole (AαC) is a carcinogenic heterocyclic aromatic amine formed during the combustion of tobacco. AαC undergoes bioactivation to form electrophilic N-oxidized metabolites that react with DNA to form adducts, which can lead to mutations. Many genotoxicants and toxic electrophiles react

The effects of antigastrin (SC-15396) on amylase release and 2-deoxyglucose uptake were studied in dispersed acini from mouse pancreas. Antigastrin at concentrations between 0.5 and 2 mM inhibited cholecystokinin (CCK)-stimulated amylase release and 2-deoxyglucose uptake in a dose-dependent fashion. Antigastrin
