The structure of the covalent adduct formed in vitro between [14C]-acetaminophen ([14C]APAP) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been investigated with the aid of new analytical methodology. The APAP-BSA adduct, isolated from mouse liver microsomal incubations to which the radiolabeled drug and BSA had been added, was cleaved using a combination of specific (cyanogen bromide) and non-specific (acid hydrolysis) procedures, following which the mixture of amino acids obtained was derivatized, in aqueous solution, with ethyl chloroformate. The resulting ethoxycarbonyl derivatives were recovered by extraction into ethylacetate, methylated and subjected to profile analysis using both reverse-phase and normal-phase HPLC techniques. In each HPLC step, one major radioactive amino acid adduct was detected and was identified by mass spectrometry as the derivative of 3-cystein-S-yl-4-hydroxyaniline. Based on this finding, and with a knowledge of the behavior under acidic hydrolysis conditions of the 3-cysteinyl conjugate of APAP, it could be concluded that the major APAP-BSA adduct is one in which the drug is bound, via a thioether linkage at the C-3 position, to a sulfhydryl group on the protein. Furthermore, it could be established that this -SH function almost certainly is that associated with the cys-34 residue of BSA.
