Isotope dilution LC/ESI−-MS-MS quantitation of urinary 1,4-bis(N-acetyl-S-cysteinyl)-2-butanone in mice and rats as the biomarker of 1-chloro-2-hydroxy-3-butene, an in vitro metabolite of 1,3-butadiene

1-Chloro-2-hydroxy-3-butene (CHB) is a possible metabolite of 1,3-butadiene, a carcinogenic air pollutant. To demonstrate its formation in vivo, it is desirable to develop a practical biomarker and the corresponding analysis method. CHB can undergo alcohol dehydrogenase- and cytochromes P450 enzymes (P450)-mediated oxidation to yield 1-chloro-3-buten-2-one (CBO), which readily forms glutathione conjugates. We hypothesized that CBO-derived mercapturic acids, which are the expected biotransformed products of CBO-glutathione conjugates, could be used as CHB biomarkers. Thus, in the present study, we investigated the in vivo biotransformation of CHB into CBO-derived mercapturic acids. Because the reaction of CBO with N-acetyl-l-cysteine yields two products, 1,4-bis(N-acetyl-S-cysteinyl)-2-butanone (NC1) and 1-chloro-4-(N-acetyl-S-cysteinyl)-2-butanone (NC2), we first developed an isotope dilution LC/ESI−-MS-MS method to quantitate urinary NC1 and NC2, and then determined their concentrations in urine of C57BL/6 mice and Sprague-Dawley rats administered CHB. Since no NC2 was detected in samples, the LC/ESI−-MS-MS method was optimized specifically for NC1. NC1 was enriched through solid phase extraction with the recovery being 75–82%. The limits of detection and quantitation were 6.8 and 34 fmol/0.1 mL for mouse urine, and 4.5 and 7.1 fmol/0.1 mL for rat urine, respectively. In urine of animals before CHB administration, no NC1 was detected; in mice administered CHB at 10 and 30 mg/kg, and rats at 5 and 15 mg/kg, NC1 was detected and its concentrations in urine from animals given higher doses were 3–6 fold higher than those given lower doses. Moreover, the NC1 concentrations in urine during 0–8 h were 4–6 fold and 10–11 fold higher than those during 8–24 h for mice and rats, respectively. The results demonstrated that CHB could be in vivo biotransformed into NC1, which could be used as a practical CHB biomarker.
