Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are carcinogenic phytochemicals, inducing liver tumors in experimental rodents. We previously determined that (±)-6,7-dihydro-7-hydroxy-1-hydroxymethyl-5H-pyrrolizine (DHP), 7-glutathione-DHP, 7-cysteine-DHP, 7-N-acetylcysteine-DHP, and 1-CHO-DHP are DNA reactive pyrrolic metabolites potentially associated with PA-induced liver tumor initiation. In this study, we developed an LC/MS/MS multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode method to identify and quantify these metabolites formed from the metabolism of senecionine, a carcinogenic PA, by mouse, rat, and human liver microsomes, and primary rat hepatocytes. Together with the chemically prepared standards of these metabolites, this represents an accurate and convenient LC/MS/MS analytical method for quantifying these five reactive pyrrolic metabolites in biological systems.

D011763 Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids A group of ALKALOIDS, characterized by a nitrogen-containing necine, occurring mainly in plants of the BORAGINACEAE; COMPOSITAE; and LEGUMINOSAE plant families. They can be activated in the liver by hydrolysis of the ester and desaturation of the necine base to reactive electrophilic pyrrolic CYTOTOXINS.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
