Abstract

Liver homogenates from rats fed tamoxifen (TAM) in the diet were shared among four different laboratories. TAM-DNA adducts were assayed by high pressure liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ES-MS/MS), TAM-DNA chemiluminescence immunoassay (TAM-DNA CIA), and 32P- postlabeling with either thin layer (32P-P-TLC) or liquid chromatography (32P-P-HPLC) separation. In the first study, rats were fed a diet containing 500 p.p.m. TAM for 2 months, and the values for measurements of the (E)-α-(deoxyguanosin-N2-yl)-tamoxifen (dGr-N2-TAM) adduct in replicate rat livers varied by 3.5-fold when quantified using 'in house' TAM-DNA standards, or other approaches where appropriate. In the second study, rats were fed 0, 50, 250 or 500 p.p.m. TAM for 2 months, and TAM-DNA values were quantified using both 'in house' approaches as well as a newly synthesized [N-methyl-3H]TAM-DNA standard that was shared among all the participating groups. In the second study, the total TAM-DNA adduct values varied by 2-fold, while values for the dG-N 2-TAM varied by 2.5-fold. Ratios of dG-N2-TAM:(E)-α- (deoxyguanosin-N2-yl)-N-desmethyltamoxifen (dG-N2-N- desmethyl-TAM) in the second study were ∼1:1 over the range of doses examined. The study demonstrated a remarkably good agreement for TAM-DNA adduct measurements among the diverse methods employed.
