Mechanism of biochemical action of substituted 4-methylbenzopyran-2-ones. Part II: Mechanism-based inhibition of rat liver microsome-mediated aflatoxin B1-DNA binding by the candidate antimutagen 7,8-diacetoxy-4-methylcoumarin

7,8-Diacetoxy-4-methylcoumarin (DAMC), with no prerequisite for oxidative biotransformation has been reported to produce suicide inactivation of microsomal cytochrome P-450-catalysed formation of aflatoxin B1-8,9-oxide that binds to DNA. Parenteral administration of DAMC to rats caused significant i...

Description
Summary:7,8-Diacetoxy-4-methylcoumarin (DAMC), with no prerequisite for oxidative biotransformation has been reported to produce suicide inactivation of microsomal cytochrome P-450-catalysed formation of aflatoxin B1-8,9-oxide that binds to DNA. Parenteral administration of DAMC to rats caused significant inhibition of AFB1 binding to hepatic DNA in vivo as well as AFB1-induced micronuclei formation in bone marrow cells. These results highlight the antimutagenic potential of DAMC.
