Using microsomal preparations from rat and human liver, we investigated the activation of the anti-estrogen compound tamoxifen (TMX) to form DNA adducts. Pretreatment of rats with phenobarbital increased DNA adduct formation by microsomal activation of TMX 3- to 6-fold, depending on the cofactors used. When reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) was used as a cofactor in human and rat microsomal activation systems, the relative DNA adduct levels were 2.9 and 5.2 × 10−8respectively and 1-3 TMX-DNA adducts were detected by23P-postlabeling; DNA adduct 1 was the same in both microsomal systems. When cumene hydroperoxide (CuOOH) was used as a cofactor, activation of TMX produced four major DNA adducts and several minor DNA adducts in both rat and human liver microsomes; the relative adduct levels were 11.1 and 23.1 ×lO−8respectively. TMX-DNA adducts 1, 4, 5 and 6 were similar in both human and rat microsomal systems with CuOOH as the cofactor. The TMX-DNA adducts formed with NADPH as the cofactor were clearly different from those formed with CuOOH as the cofactor, which implies that the metabolites leading to the individual DNA adducts were different. Addition of a P450 inhibitor, eithern-octylamine or α-napthylisothiocyanate, to the activation system reduced adduct formation by 70–93%. We propose that the TMX-DNA adducts formed with NADPH as the cofactor result from P450 acting as a mono-oxygenase, whereas the adducts formed with CuOOH as the cofactor result from P450 acting as a peroxidase. Our findings suggest that further studies may be required to establish the safety of TMX treatment of women for purposes other than chemotherapy.
