9-(4'-Aminophenyl)-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole (aminophenylnorharman, APNH), produced by the reaction of norharman with aniline in the presence of S9 mix, is a novel heterocyclic amine (HCA), with mutagenicity to Salmonella typhimurium TA 98 and YG 1024 comparable to that of other HCAs such as 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx). This experiment was designed to investigate its potential to induce glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P) positive foci in the liver. Male F344 rats, 7 weeks old, were fed diet containing 0, 10, 20, or 50 ppm APNH for 4 weeks, killed by ether euthanasia and performed complete necropsy. Numbers of GST-P positive foci larger than 0.1 mm in diameter induced by APNH at the dose of 10, 20, and 50 ppm were increased in a dose dependent manner to 0.52, 1.3, and 21 foci/cm2, respectively, with areas of 0.006, 0.01, and 2.3 mm2/cm2. No such GST-P positive foci were observed in rats fed control diet. These findings suggest that APNH has hepatocarcinogenic potential in male F344 rats.
