Juvenile English sole (P. vetulus) were force fed [3H]benzo[a]pyrene [carcinogen] (BaP) and, after 24 h, metabolites were isolated from bile, liver and muscle. The metabolites were analyzed by TLC and HPLC [high pressure liquid chromatography], and further characterized by UV, fluorescence, or m.s. [mass spectrometry] analyses. The identities of BaP 7,8-dihydrodiol, BaP 9,10-dihydrodiol [(.+-.)-trans-7,8-dihydro-7,8-dihydroxybenzo(a)pyrene, (.+-.)-trans-9,10-dihydro-9,10-dihydroxybenzo(a)pyrene, respectively], 1-hydroxy BaP, 3-hydroxy BaP and 9-hydroxy BaP were confirmed. The amounts of BaP 7,8-dihydrodiol plus its conjugates (sulfates and glucuronides) were greater than twice the amounts of BaP 9,10-dihydrodiol plus its conjugates in bile. Liver also contained twice as much BaP 7,8-dihydrodiol as BaP 9,10-dihydrodiol, demonstrating that English sole produced larger amounts of the 7,8-isomer. TLC analysis showed the presence of an unknown metabolite X migrating between BaP 9,10- and 7,8-dihydrodiols. X was shown to be a non-vicinal dihydroxy derivative of BaP. Spectral properties of X were similar to those reported for a dihydroxy derivative, presumably the 3,9-dihydroxy BaP, formed from either 3- or 9-hydroxy BaP in the presence of rat liver microsomes. Compared to the dihydrodiols, X was resistant to both glucuronidation and sulfation. The resistance to form water-soluble metabolites may be responsible for the deposition of relatively large amounts (0.11% of the administered dose) of X in muscle; liver contained a much smaller amount (0.01%) of X. English sole converted BaP into metabolites known to be toxic to mammals, and these metabolites were found in the liver and edible tissue of the fish.
