The metabolism of the non-carcinogenic N-nitrosoproline (NPRO) was investigated in vitro using both S9 preparations and isolated hepatocytes from F344 rats. The studies were performed using 15N-labeled nitrosamine and the reaction mixtures were examined mass spectrometrically for the presence of 15N2 or other 15N-labeled gaseous products. In addition, the metabolism of NPRO was monitored by capillary gas chromatography. The results indicated no 15N2 production from either the hepatocyte or S9 preparations, as well as no detectable loss of substrate from the reaction mixtures. Mass spectrometric analysis failed to reveal any metabolites of NPRO. The results suggest that NPRO may be refractory to the normal nitrosamine activating enzymes, confirming its suitability for use in human epidemiological studies of endogenous nitrosation.
