Characterization of cytotoxic steroids in human faeces and their putative role in the etiology of human colonic cancer.
摘要：
It has been shown previously [1–3] that chemically induced nuclear aberrations in the murine colon are correlated with the carcinogenicity of the respective chemicals. Consequently, the nuclear aberration assay was utilized for the identification of putative carcinogens in human faeces. Human fecal samples were fractionated by several chromatographic methods, and the assay led to the isolation of two substances. A combination of spectroscopic (mass, nuclear magnetic resonance, ultraviolet, and infrared) and chromatographic (HPLC and GLC) methods showed that they are 5-α-cholestan-3-one (I) and cholest-4-en-3-one (II). A number of C-27–C-30 steroids isolated from closely related fractions of feces were inactive in this assay. Thus I and II could play a role in etiology of large bowel cancer in humans.
