Abstract

Chronic bioassays with trichloroethene (TRI) demonstrated carcinogenicity in mice (hepatocellular carcinomas) and rats (renal tubular cell adenomas and carcinomas). The chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity is due to bioactivation reactions. TRI is metabolized by cytochrome P450 and by conjugation with glutathione. Glutathione conjugation results in S-(dichlorovinyl) glutathione (DCVG) and is presumed to be the initial biotransformation step resulting in the formation of nephrotoxic metabolites. Enzymes of the mercapturic acid pathway cleave DCVG to the corresponding cysteine S-conjugate, which is, after translocation to the kidney, cleaved by renal cysteine S-conjugate beta -lyase to the electrophile chlorothioketene. After N-acetylation, cysteine S-conjugates are also excreted as mercapturic acids in urine. The object of this study was the dose-dependent quantification of the two isomers of N-acetyl-S-(dichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine, trichloroethanol and trichloroacetic acid, as markers for the glutathione- and cytochrome P450-mediated metabolism, respectively, in the urine of humans and rats after exposure to TRI. Three male volunteers and four rats were exposed to 40, 80 and 160 ppm TRI for 6 h. A dose-dependent increase in the e...Continue Reading

Biosynthetic Transformations

Biosyntheic transformtions are multi-step, enzyme-catalyzed processes where substrates are converted into more complex products in living organisms. Simple compounds are modified, converted into other compounds, or joined together to form macromolecules. Discover the latest research on biosynthetic transformations here.
