Biotransformation of Hydrazine Dervatives in the Mechanism of Toxicity

نویسنده

چکیده

Hydrazine derivatives are environmental and food pollutants but are also important because of their use in medicine for the treatment of tuberculosis and cancer. However, hydrazines also pose significant health risks to humans as they are mutagenic and carcinogenic. This review examines various metabolic pathways (enzymatic and non-enzymatic) of hydrazines for the formation of reactive species that bind to cellular macromolecules and lead to cellular dysfunction. It is believed that this biotransformation is responsible for the pharmacology and pathophysiology of hydrazine derivatives.

Redox regulation of the human xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme arylamine N-acetyltransferase 1 (NAT1). Reversible inactivation by hydrogen peroxide.

Oxidative stress is increasingly recognized as a key mechanism in the biotransformation and/or toxicity of many xenobiotics. Human arylamine N-acetyltransferase 1 (NAT1) is a polymorphic ubiquitous phase II xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme that catalyzes the biotransformation of primary aromatic amine or hydrazine drugs and carcinogens. Functional and structural studies have shown that NAT1 catal...

Genotoxic activation of hydrazine, two dialkylhydrazines, thiourea and ethylene thiourea in the somatic w/w + assay of Drosophila melanogaster.

Genotoxic activation of hydrazine (HZ), two symmetrical dialkylhydrazines, namely, 1,2dimethylhydrazine and 1,2-diethylhydrazine (SDMH and SDEH), thiourea (TU) and ethylene thiourea (ETU) has been evaluated by means of the w/w + somatic assay of Drosophila. Both low bioactivation insecticide-susceptible (IS) and high biotransformation insecticide-resistant (IR) strains were used. The combined a...

Because of high toxicity of hydrazine and its derivatives, many efforts are conducted to finding alternative for hydrazine in hypergolic fuels which meanwhile can do spontaneous ignition, has a low environment risk. Due to high reducing ability of hydrazine, usage of powerful conducing agents’ idea was interested. These conducting agents required to improvement in order to use as a hyperg...
