The modifying effects of dietary 4-phenylbutyl isothiocyanate (PBITC), given during the initiation stage of carcinogenesis, were investigated in hamsters treated with N-nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl)amine (BOP). A total of 120 female 5-week-old hamsters were divided into six groups. Animals in groups 1-3, each consisting of 30 hamsters, were given BOP by two subcutaneous injections, 1 week apart, at a dose of 20 mg/kg body weight, plus 0, 10 or 100 micromol/animal of PBITC in corn oil by gavage 2 h prior to each carcinogen treatment. Ten animals in group 4 served as a vehicle control, and animals in groups 5 and 6, each consisting of ten hamsters, were given 10 and 100 micromol of PBITC alone in corn oil. Sacrifice was 52 weeks after the first BOP injection. The PBITC treatments significantly (P<0.05) inhibited the development of pancreatic ductal dysplasias and adenocarcinomas. Also, lung tumors (adenomas and adenocarcinomas) were significantly (P<0.05) reduced in a dose-dependent manner. In contrast, both hepatocellular and cholangiocellular tumors (adenomas and carcinomas) tended to be or were significantly increased by PBITC. These results, taken together with our previous findings, indicate that the natural isothiocyanate, phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), has a more potent chemopreventive action against BOP-induced tumorigenesis than synthetic isothiocyanates with longer alkyl chains, such as 3-phenylpropyl isothiocyanate (PPITC) and PBITC. Thus, their lipophilicity does not necessarily reflect the chemopreventive potential because the strength of lipophilicity is PEITC<PPITC<PBITC.
