Carcinogenic heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) interact with some drug transporters, like the efflux pump BCRP and the organic anion transporters OAT1 and OAT3. The present study was designed to determine whether they can also target activities of the organic cation transporters (OCTs), using mainly OCT1-, OCT2- and OCT3-overexpressing HEK293 cells. Fifteen HAAs were demonstrated to differently alter OCT activities; with a cut-off of at least 50% reduction of transporter activity by 100 μM HAAs, 5/15 HAAs, including Trp-P-1 and Trp-P-2, inhibited activities of OCT1, OCT2 and OCT3, whereas 7/15 HAAs, including PhIP and MeIQx, blocked those of OCT2 and OCT3, 1/15 HAAs reduced those of OCT1 and OCT2 and 2/15 HAAs, including AαC, only that of OCT2. IC values of Trp-P-1 and Trp-P-2 towards OCT activities were found to be in the 2-6 μM range, likely not relevant for human exposure to HAAs through smoking or the diet. Trp-P-1 and Trp-P-2 additionally failed to trans-stimulate OCT1 and OCT2 activities and exhibited similar accumulation in OCT1/2-transduced HEK293 cells and control HEK293-MOCK cells. These data demonstrate that HAAs, notably Trp-P-1 and Trp-P-2, interact with OCT1/2, without however being transported, thus likely discarding a major role for OCT1/2 in HAA systemic toxicokinetics.

Article Synopsis
- Diet plays a crucial role in cancer development, with certain cooking methods like grilling contributing to mutagenic substances in food.
- Researchers discovered two new harmful compounds, Trp-P-1 and Trp-P-2, that are produced when tryptophan is charred during cooking.
- These compounds, along with over 10 other identified heterocyclic amines (HCAs), have been linked to cancer in various organs in animal studies and may also have implications for human cancer risk.

Various strategies are being explored to reduce the formation of undesirable compounds during the thermal processing of foods. This study investigates the impact of incorporating annatto seed powder (Bixa orellana L.) into beef patties to reduce the formation of heterocyclic amines (HAs) during charcoal-grilling and pan-frying.

In the present work, fifteen mutagenic/carcinogenic heterocyclicamines (HAs)were studied in cooked Caridean shrimp (pink) and Penaeid shrimp (tiger, white and brown). The cooking methods were used as stir-frying, broiling and steaming under controlled temperature and time, and HAs determination was performed by SPE/UPLC-ESI-MS/MS. HAs 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ), 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx), 2-amino-3,4,8-trimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (4,8-DiMeIQx), 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), 2-Amino-1,6-dimethyl-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (DMIP), 1-Methyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole (Harman) and 9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole (Norharman) were identified (0.

A commercial kit (QuEChERS) for dispersive solid phase extraction was used with HPLC-ESI-MS/MS analysis to determine concentrations of 20 heterocyclic amines (HAs) in 48 unrefined and refined cooking fats (number): lard (16); tallow (8), coconut oil (6); other solid fats (8); vegetable oils (10). The average suppression of ESI-MS response to HAs in extracts from cooking oil was 84%: 18 HAs were quantified from 0.02 to 1.
