1. The in vitro metabolism of chlorotriazines, simazine (SIZ), atrazine (ATZ) and propazine (PRZ) in liver microsomes from rat, mouse and guinea pig and the oestrogenic activity of chlorotriazines and their main metabolites have been studied. 2. The formation rates of products in chlorotriazine metabolism were determined by HPLC. The principal reactions catalysed by the cytochrome P450 (P450) system were N-monodealkylation and isopropylhydroxylation in all liver microsomes. As a result, 2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-amino-1,3,5-triazine (M1) (SIZ-M1 for SIZ and ATZ-M1 for ATZ) and 2-chloro-4-amino-6-isopropylamino-1,3,5-triazine (M2) (ATZ-M2 for ATZ and PRZ-M2 for PRZ), and 2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-(1-hydroxyisopropylamino)-1,3,5-triazine (M3) (ATZ-M3 for ATZ) and 2-chloro-4-isopropylamino-6-(1-hydroxyisopropylamino)-1,3,5-triazi ne (M4) (PRZ-M4 for PRZ) were detected as the metabolites. N-bidealkylation was not found in this system. 3. The formation rates of N-deethylated metabolites (SIZ-M1 and ATZ-M2) were generally higher in mouse than in rat and guinea pig. The formation rates of N-deisopropylated metabolites (ATZ-M1 and PRZ-M2) in guinea pig were the lowest among the three animal species. The formation rates of isopropylhydroxylated metabolites (ATZ-M3 and PRZ-M4) were remarkably low in mouse compared with rat and guinea pig. 4. The enzyme kinetics of chlorotriazine metabolism were examined by Eadie-Hofstee analyses. Some species differences in Michaelis-Menten parameters for each metabolite were observed, and the ranking orders were varied among the metabolites. 5. The binding affinity of chlorotriazines (SIZ, ATZ and PRZ) and their metabolites (M1-4) for recombinant human oestrogen receptor-alpha was assayed using the fluorescence polarization method. The binding affinity of M2 was significantly higher than those of parent compounds and other metabolites, although the oestrogenic activity was remarkably low compared with that of 17beta-oestradiol (E2). 6. These results suggest that the pattern of metabolism of SIZ, ATZ and PRZ by the P450 system differs extensively among rat, mouse and guinea pig, and that M2 may be an activated metabolite of chlorotriazines.
