Several aromatic amine compounds are urinary bladder carcinogens. Activated metabolites and DNA adducts of polycyclic aromatic amines, such as 4-aminobiphenyl, have been identified, whereas those of monocyclic aromatic amines, such aso-toluidine (o-Tol),o-anisidine (o-Ans), and aniline (Ani), have not been completely determined. We have recently reported thato-Tol ando-Ans are metabolically converted in vitro and in vivo to cytotoxic and mutagenicp-semidine-type dimers, namely 2-methyl-N4-(2-methylphenyl) benzene-1,4-diamine (MMBD) and 2-methoxy-N4-(2-methoxyphenyl) benzene-1,4-diamine (MxMxBD), respectively, suggesting their roles in urinary bladder carcinogenesis. In this study, we found that wheno-Tol ando-Ans were incubated with S9 mix, MMBD and MxMxBD as well as two isomeric heterodimers, MMxBD and MxMBD, were formed. Therefore, any two ofo-Tol,o-Ans, and Ani (10 mM each) were incubated with the S9 mix for up to 24 h and then subjected to LC–MS to investigate their metabolic kinetics. Metabolic conversions to all nine kinds ofp-semidine-type homo- and hetero-dimers were observed, peaking at 6 h of incubation with the S9 mix; MxMxBD reached the peak at 6.1 ± 1.4 μM. Homo- and hetero-dimers containing theo-Ans moiety in the diamine structure showed a faster dimerization ratio, whereas levels of these dimers, such as MxMxBD, markedly declined with further incubation. Dimers containingo-Tol and Ani were relatively stable, even after incubation for 24 h. The electron-donating group of theo-Ans moiety may be involved in rapid metabolic conversion. In the cytotoxic assay, dimers with ano-Ans moiety in the diamine structure and MMBD showed approximately two- to four-fold higher cytotoxicity than other dimers in human bladder cancer T24 cells. These chemical and biological properties of homo- and hetero-dimers of monocyclic aromatic amines may be important when considering the combined exposure risk for bladder carcinogenesis.
