  • The Reactivity of Human and Equine Estrogen Quinones Towards Purine Nucleosides
    S S symmetry Article The Reactivity of Human and Equine Estrogen Quinones towards Purine Nucleosides Zsolt Benedek †, Peter Girnt † and Julianna Olah * Department of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Szent Gellért tér 4, H-1111 Budapest, Hungary; [email protected] (Z.B.); [email protected] (P.G.) * Correspondence: [email protected] † These authors contributed equally to this work. Abstract: Conjugated estrogen medicines, which are produced from the urine of pregnant mares for the purpose of menopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT), contain the sulfate conjugates of estrone, equilin, and equilenin in varying proportions. The latter three steroid sex hormones are highly similar in molecular structure as they only differ in the degree of unsaturation of the sterane ring “B”: the cyclohexene ring in estrone (which is naturally present in both humans and horses) is replaced by more symmetrical cyclohexadiene and benzene rings in the horse-specific (“equine”) hormones equilin and equilenin, respectively. Though the structure of ring “B” has only moderate influence on the estrogenic activity desired in HRT, it might still significantly affect the reactivity in potential carcinogenic pathways. In the present theoretical study, we focus on the interaction of estrogen orthoquinones, formed upon metabolic oxidation of estrogens in breast cells with purine nucleosides. This multistep process results in a purine base loss in the DNA chain (depurination) and the formation of a “depurinating adduct” from the quinone and the base. The point mutations induced in this manner are suggested to manifest in breast cancer development in the long run.

MOUMGIS (Department of Pathology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University, New York 61, N.Y.) SUMMARY The effects of estrogens were studied with and without foreign body (rough glass beads and paraffin pellets) on the metaplasia of the bladder of rats on stock main tenance diet and on a vitamin A-deficient diet. Estradiol increased the degree of metaplasia in the bladder of rats when combined with vitamin A deficiency and/or foreign body stimulation. Estradiol affected bladder epithelium already made squamous more effectively than it did the normal transitional uroepithelium. A high dose of hexestrol, when added to estradiol, showed no enhance ment of the degree of metaplasi.a by estradiol benzoate in the bladder of the rat. The combination of vitamin A deficiency, foreign body in situ, and estrogenadminis tration was an effective means of obtaining keratinizing squamous metaplasia in the urinary bladder for studies of its developmental and reversal changes.
