Abstract
Benzophenone (BP) ultraviolet (UV) -filters have been widely used to prevent adverse effects of UV. Whether they can disrupt gonadal steroidogenesis remains unclear. Gonadal 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (3β-HSD) catalyse the conversion of pregnenolone to progesterone. This study explored the effect of 12 BPs on human, rat, and mouse 3β-HSD isoforms, and analysed the structure-activity relationship (SAR) and underlying mechanisms. The inhibitory potency was BP-1 (IC50, 5.66 ± 0.95 μM) > BP-2 (5.84 ± 2.22 μM) > BP-6 (185.8 ± 115.2 μM) > BP3-BP12 on human KGN 3β-HSD2, BP-2 (5.90 ± 1.02 μM) > BP-1 (7.55 ± 1.26 μM) > BP3-B12 on rat testicular 3β-HSD1, and BP-1 (15.04 ± 5.20 μM) > BP-2 (22.64 ± 11.81 μM) > BP-6(125.1 ± 34.65 μM)> BP-7 (161.1 ± 102.4 μM) > other BPs on mouse testicular 3β-HSD6. BP-1 is a mixed inhibitor of human, rat, and mouse 3β-HSDs, and BP-2 is a mixed inhibitor of human and rat 3β-HSDs and a noncompetitive inhibitor of mouse 3β-HSD6. 4-Hydroxyl substitution in the benzene ring plays a key role in enhancing potency of inhibiting human, rat, and mouse gonadal 3β-HSDs. BP-1 and BP-2 can penetrate human KGN cells to inhibit progesterone secretion at ≥ 10 μM. Docking analysis revealed that the 4-hydroxyl group of BP-1 and BP-2 forms hydrogen bonds with residue Ser123 of human 3β-HSD2 and residue Asp127 of rat 3β-HSD1. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that BP-1 and BP-2 are the most potent inhibitors of human, rat, and mouse gonadal 3β-HSDs and that there is a significant SAR difference.

Releases of Fire-Derived Contaminants from Polymer Pipes Made of Polyvinyl Chloride. TOXICS 2019; 7:toxics7040057. [PMID: 31717947 PMCID: PMC6958356 DOI: 10.3390/toxics7040057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2019] [Revised: 11/05/2019] [Accepted: 11/06/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
In order to assess the human exposure risks from the release of contaminants from water pipes made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), experiments were carried out by subjecting the PVC pipe material to burning and leaching conditions followed by analysis of the emission and leachate samples. The emissions of burning pipes were analyzed by both infrared spectrometry and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The emission test results indicate the presence of chlorinated components including chlorine dioxide, methyl chloride, methylene chloride, allyl chloride, vinyl chloride, ethyl chloride, 1-chlorobutane, tetrachloroethylene, chlorobenzene, and hydrogen chloride were detected in the emissions of burning PVC pipes. Furthermore, the concentrations of benzene, 1,3-butadiene, methyl methacrylate, carbon monoxide, acrolein, and formaldehyde were found at levels capable of affecting human health adversely. The analysis of PVC pipe leachates using GC-MS shows that there are 40-60 tentatively identified compounds, mostly long-chain hydrocarbons such as tetradecane, hexadecane, octadecane, and docosane, were released when the burned PVC materials were soaked in deionized water for one week. Quantitative analysis shows that 2-butoxyethanol, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, and diethyl phthalate were found in the burned PVC polymer at the average levels of 2.7, 14.0, and 3.1 micrograms per gram (μg/g) of pipe material. This study has significant implications for understanding the benzene contamination of drinking water in the aftermath of wildfires that burned polymer pipes in California.
