ORGANOHALOGEN COMPOUNDS – Volume 66 (2004) 2882 Introduction PCB congeners possess extremely high lipophilicity and biological stability, and as a result they are not easily eliminated from the body once ingested. In particular, not only 2,4,5-trichlorosubstituted but also 6 or more chlorine-substituted PCBs such as 2,2’,3’,4,4’,5-hexa-chlorobiphenyl (hexaCB) (CB138), 2,2’,4,4’,5,5’-hexaCB (CB153), 2,2’,3,4,4’,5,5’-heptachloro-biphenyl (heptaCB) (CB180) and 2,2’,3,4’,5,5’,6-heptaCB (CB187) have been detected in blood and adipose tissues of mammals and human mother’s milk at higher concentration. In addition, the 4-hydroxy (OH)-metabolite of CB187 has been reported to be present in human blood at the highest concentration of that derived from other PCB congeners. Although CB187, a tri-ortho-PCB, is one of the minor component in the commercial PCB preparations such as Clophen, Aroclor and Kanechlor, the toxic equivalency factor (TEF) which is used for dioxin-like PCB congeners including coplanar-PCBs and mono-ortho-PCBs to assess the potency of the toxicity has not been set up for diand tri-ortho-PCB congeners. These facts indicate that 4-OH-PCB187 become more persistent and more important toxicologically than the parent CB187. However, there is little report about biotransformation in vivo or in vitro of CB187 in animals. Therefore, we examined CB187 metabolism by liver microsomes of rats, hamsters and guinea pigs.

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...

The Distribution of Metabolites of 2,2',3,4,4',5',6- Heptachlorobiphenyl (cb183) in Rats and Guinea Pigs

The in vivo metabolism of 2,2',3,4,4',5',6-heptachlorobiphenyl (CB183) was studied in rats and guinea pigs. Similarly to the in vitro metabolism, 3'-hydroxy (OH)-CB183 and 5-OH-CB183, were found as major metabolites in the serum and the feces of both species (serum < feces). Phenobarbital (PB)-pretreatment of animals increased the production of both metabolites, whereas 3-methylcholanthrene (MC...

Metabolism of Tetrachlorobiphenyls by Chinese Hamster Liver Microsomes

Introduction The biotransformation of polychlorinated biphenyls, world-wide environmental pollutants, is initiated mainly by an oxygenation of aromatic ring catalyzed by liver cyochrome P450(P450) [1]. A series of our studies using some tetrachlorobiphenyls (TCBs), major components of Kanechlor 400 caused Yusho poisoning in Japan in 1968, demonstrated that the hydroxylating ability of liver mic...

Introduction Some hydroxylated (OH) polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) such as 4-OH-CB187, 4-OH-CB146, 4-OH-CB107, 3-OH-CB138, 3-OH-CB153 and 4'-OH-CB120 have been detected at relatively high level following PCB congeners such as CB153, CB138 and CB180 in human blood, liver and adipose tissues. Recently, 4'-OHCB120 has also been detected in the blood of patients 37 years after PCB poisoning (Yush...

Non-arene oxide aromatic ring hydroxylation of 2,2',5,5'-tetrachlorobiphenyl as the major metabolic pathway catalyzed by phenobarbital-induced rat liver microsomes.

Incubation of phenobarbital-induced rat liver microsomes with 2,2',5,5'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (TCB) yielded about 30% of the substrate as 3-hydroxy-TCB, 3,4-dihydroxy-TCB, 3,3'-dihydroxy-TCB (tentative identification), and 3,4-dihydro-3,4-dihydroxy-TCB in relative amounts of about 1:1:0.05:0.05. Under identical conditions, 2,2',5,5'-tetrachlorobiphenyl 3,4-oxide (TCBO) yielded about 45% of the su...
