Phenacetin is mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium TA 100 when liver 9,000 X g supernatant fractions from PCB-treated hamsters instead of rats are used. A mechanism of the species difference in phenacetin mutagenicity was investigated. By high-performance liquid chromatography analysis, it was found that phenacetin is activated to direct-acting mutagens through N-hydroxylation and deacetylation by hamster liver microsomes. Although no significant species difference was observed in N-hydroxylation, rates of deacetylation were 9 to 150 times higher in hamsters than in rats. The results indicate that the marked species difference in phenacetin mutagenicity is due to the difference in deacetylation activity between rat and hamster liver microsomes.
