摘要
Pregnant mice received 10 or 100 mg retinol/kg body wt. by gavage on day 11 of gestation (plug day = day 0). One group of animals was used for a pharmacokinetic study. At various times after dosing, plasma and tissue samples were collected and analyzed by HPLC for retinyl esters, retinol, 13-cis- and all-trans-retinoic acid and 13-cis-4-oxo and all-trans-4-oxoretinoic acid. In the other group the fetuses were removed on day 18 and examined for malformations. After 10 mg/kg retinol, no teratogenic effect was observed. The pharmacokinetic investigation revealed a moderate increase of retinyl esters, retinol and all-trans-retinoic acid in plasma, embryonic tissue, placenta, yolk sac membranes and extraembryonic fluid. A high incidence of severe fetal malformations occurred after 100 mg/kg retinol. These malformations included limb defects (81% of fetuses) and cleft palate (55% of fetuses) which are characteristically found after administration of a single teratogenic dose of an active retinoid on day 11 of gestation. The concentration-time profile of retinoids after 100 mg/kg on day 11 showed a pronounced increase of retinyl esters and retinol in all compartments including the embryo and a massive generation of the polar metabolites all-trans-retinoic acid and all-trans-4-oxoretinoic acid. These polar metabolites were found in the embryo with peak concentrations of 327 +/- 115 and 143 +/- 20.7 ng/g (mean +/- SE) wet tissue, respectively. It is likely that all-trans-retinoic acid and all-trans-4-oxoretinoic acid, both well-known teratogens, largely contributed to the teratogenic outcome. The in-vivo oxidation of retinol may be an important factor in the teratogenic activity of high doses of vitamin A.
