Abstract: | The present study was designed to compare the skin tumor promotingand epidermal ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) inducing activitiesof various structural analogs of anthralin (1, 8-dihydroxy-9-anthrone)and chrysarobin (1, 8-dihydroxy-3- methyl-9-anthrone). Groupsof 30 SENCAR mice each were initiated with 7, 12-dimethylbenz[a]anthraceneand 2 weeks later promoted with once- or twice-weekly applicationsof various doses of these anthrone derivatives. Carbon-10 (C10)-acylderivatives of anthralin were active skin tumor promoters inthe range of 25440 nmol per mouse. 10-Acetylanthralinwas significantly more active than 10-myristoyl-anthralin atlow doses (e.g. 25 and 50 nmol per mouse) and nearly as potentas the unsubstituted compound. Higher doses ( 100 nmol per mouse)of this derivative were toxic, hence, reducing the final papillomaresponse. On a relative activity scale where anthralin is 1.0,these derivatives had activities that were 0.7 and 0.2, respectively.10, 10-Dipropylanthralin was totally inactive at the doses tested.C6-Substituted derivatives of chrysarobin demonstrated diversetumor promoting activities when tested in the range of 25440nmol per mouse. On a relative activity scale where chrysarobinis 1.0, 6-methoxychrysarobin (physcion anthrone) was 0.9, whereas6-hydroxychrysarobin (emodin anthrone) had no activity. Chrysophanicacid (1, 8-dihydroxy-3-methyl-9, 10-anthraquinone) was alsoinactive as a tumor promoter at the doses tested. In general,the tumor promoting activities of these anthrone derivativescorrelated very well with their ability to induce epidermalODC after a single topical application indicating an importantrole for this enzyme in skin tumor promotion by anthones. Theability of C10-substituted derivatives of anthralin to undergobase catalyzed oxidation in vitro correlated with both ODC inducingand tumor promoting activities. In addition, copper(II) bis(diisopropylsalicylate)was found to inhibit both ODC induction and skin tumor promotionby chrysarobin. These latter data, when taken together, suggesta role for oxidation at C10 in skin tumor promotion by anthronederivatives. |
