In order to determine whether more than one cytochrome P450 isozyme is involved in the bioactivation of asymmetrical aliphatic dialkylnitrosamines in these tissues, we have studied the effects of various modulators of nitrosamine metabolism, including dietary zinc deficiency, ethanol and disulfiram, on DNA alkylation by N-nitrosomethyl-n-butylamine (NMBA) and its ethyl analogue N-nitrosoethyl-n-butylamine (NEBA).

In previous work, we characterized P450IIE1 (an acetone/ethanol-inducible form of cytochrome P-450) as the major enzyme for the metabolic activation of N-nitrosodimethylamine.

The results from the study are compatible with the participation of multiple forms of cytochrome P-450 enzymes.
Terodiline (N-tert-butyl-4,4-diphenyl-2-butylamine) is a racemic drug with anticholinergic and/or calcium antagonistic activity, which is subject to renewed interest as a potential remedy for urinary incontinence.

These results suggest that the dealkylations of these nitrosamines are catalyzed by several enzymes, which probably depend on different cytochrome P-450 species.

The results of in-vitro metabolism studies with N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), N-nitrosodibutylamine (NDBA) and their fluorinated analogues, N-nitroso-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl-ethylamine (NDEA-F3), N-nitroso-bis (2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) amine (NDEA-F6), N-nitroso-4,4,4-trifluorobutyl-butylamine (NDBA-F3), N-nitroso-bis (4,4,4-trifluo-robutyl) amine (NDBA-F6) and N-nitroso-bis (2,2,3,3,4,4,4-heptafluorobutyl) amine (NDBA-F14), showed effects of fluorination on biotransformation which can explain results of carcinogenicity and mutagenicity experiments; NDEA-F6 and NDBA-F14 were practically not metabolized by microsomal fractions, even though no decrease in binding affinity to cytochrome P450 was observed.
