2,2′,3,5′,6-Pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB 95) Is Atropselectively Metabolized to para-Hydroxylated Metabolites by Human Liver Microsomes

چکیده
Exposure to neurotoxic, chiral PCBs has been associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, but their metabolism in humans remains unexplored. We investigated the enantioselective metabolism of PCB 95 by human liver microsomes (HLMs) to potentially neurotoxic, hydroxylated metabolites (OH-PCBs). OH-PCB profiles formed in experiments with HLMs differed from metabolite profiles reported for rodent species. The second eluting atropisomer of 2,2',3,5',6-pentachlorobiphenyl-4'-ol, the major metabolite, was preferentially formed by all HLM preparations investigated. Differences in metabolite formation rates were observed with single donor HLMs. The metabolism of PCBs and its role in PCB-mediated neurodevelopmental disorders need to be further characterized.

Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners with multiple ortho chlorine substituents and their metabolites exist as stable rotational isomers, or atropisomers, that are nonsuperimposable mirror images of each other. Additionally, the oxidation of certain axially prochiral PCBs, such as 2,2',4,6'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB 51) and 2,2',4,5,6'-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB 102), in the meta position of th...

Chiral polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) display variable atropisomeric enrichment in wildlife and animal models, especially at higher trophic levels. These differences in PCBs' chiral signatures are, at least in part, due to species-dependent oxidation of PCBs to hydroxylated PCB metabolites (OH-PCBs). Here, we investigate the hypothesis that the cytochrome P450 (P450) enzyme-mediated oxidation...

Epidemiological and laboratory studies link polychlorinated biphenyls and their metabolites to adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. Several neurotoxic PCB congeners are chiral and undergo enantiomeric enrichment in mammalian species, which may modulate PCB developmental neurotoxicity. This study measures levels and enantiomeric enrichment of PCB 95 and its hydroxylated metabolites (OH-PCBs) in ...

Introduction Some hydroxy (OH)-metabolites of various PCB congeners such as 4-OH-2,2',3,4',5,5',6-heptachlorobiphenyl (CB187), 4-OH-2,2',3,4',5,5'-hexachlorobiphenyl (hexaCB) (CB146), 4-OH-2,3,3',4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl (CB107), 3'-OH-2,2',3,4,4',5'-hexaCB (CB138) and 3-OH-2,2',4,4',5,5'-hexaCB (CB153) have been found in human blood at higher concentrations. Recent studies have shown that such...
متن کاملExamination of the estrogenicity of 2,4,6,2',6'-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB 104), its hydroxylated metabolite 2,4,6,2',6'-pentachloro-4-biphenylol (HO-PCB 104), and a further chlorinated derivative, 2,4,6,2',4',6'-hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB 155).
Several studies have reported that polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) exhibit estrogenic activity; however, it is not clear if these responses are associated with the polychlorinated hydrocarbon or its hydroxylated metabolite. In order to further test this hypothesis, a battery of in vitro and in vivo assays were used to investigate the estrogenic and antiestrogenic activities of 2,4,6,2',6'-pent...
