While alpha-asarone (aA) and beta-asarone (bA) are genotoxic and were shown to be carcinogenic the mechanisms underlying these effects are not understood. Major metabolites of both compounds are epoxides which are mutagenic in the Ames test. We investigated their reactivity towards nucleosides and identified epoxide-derived DNA adducts with 2'-deoxyadenosine (dA) and 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG) using UPLC-UV/VIS, LC-MS/MS and NMR spectroscopy. The adducts were characterized as N-6-1'-hydroxy-dihydro-asarone-dA and N-2-1'-hy-droxy-dihydro-asarone-dG. Chemical synthesis of these adducts, isotope labeled standards and development of a sensitive and specific isotope dilution mass spectrometric method allowed the quantification of DNA adducts formed in primary rat hepatocytes incubated with aA or bA over up to 48 h. We observed a concentration-dependent, nearly linear formation of DNA adducts, which was higher for bA than for aA. In time course experiments, the amount of DNA adducts reached a maximum within the first 6 h. Over the next 42 h, the amount of DNA adducts decreased, however DNA adducts were still detectable even at the lowest substrate concentration of 10 mu M. These results clearly show that aA and bA are able to form epoxide-derived DNA adducts in mam-malian cells which may be responsible for their genotoxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic mode of action.
