Chronic exposure to aristolochic acids (AAs) from Aristolochia plants is one of the major causes of nephropathy and cancer of the kidney and forestomach. However, the organotropic activities of AAs remain poorly understood. In this study, using LC-MS/MS coupled with a stable isotope-dilution method, we rigorously quantitated for the first time the organ-specific dosage- and time-dependent formation of DNA-AA adducts in the tumor target and nontarget organs of AA-I-treated rats.

1-Nitropyrene (1NP) level is closely associated with the mutagenicity of diesel exhaust and is being used as the marker molecule for diesel exhaust. Thus, quantitation of the exposure to 1NP may provide an efficient method for biomonitoring human exposure to diesel exhaust and risk assessment. Using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with fluorescence or tandem mass spectrometric detection methods, we quantitated and compared in this study the DNA and protein adducts of 1NP in internal organs of 1NP-exposed rats.
