Abstract
Reproductive system diseases pose prominent threats to human physical and mental well-being. Besides being influenced by genetic material regulation and changes in lifestyle, the occurrence of these diseases is closely connected to exposure to harmful substances in the environment. Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), characterized by hormone-like effects, have a wide range of influences on the reproductive system. EDCs are ubiquitous in the natural environment and are present in a wide range of industrial and everyday products. Currently, thousands of chemicals have been reported to exhibit endocrine effects, and this number is likely to increase as the testing for potential EDCs has not been consistently required, and obtaining data has been limited, partly due to the long latency of many diseases. The ability to avoid exposure to EDCs, especially those of artificially synthesized origin, is increasingly challenging. While EDCs can be divided into persistent and non-persistent depending on their degree of degradation, due to the recent uptick in research studies in this area, we have chosen to focus on the research pertaining to the detrimental effects on reproductive health of exposure to several EDCs that are widely encountered in daily life over the past six years, specifically bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates (PAEs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), parabens, pesticides, heavy metals, and so on. By focusing on the impact of EDCs on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, which leads to the occurrence and development of reproductive system diseases, this review aims to provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms of EDCs' damage to human health and to encourage further in-depth research to clarify the potentially harmful effects of EDC exposure through various other mechanisms. Ultimately, it offers a scientific basis to enhance EDCs risk management, an endeavor of significant scientific and societal importance for safeguarding reproductive health.

Abstract
Sample clean-up and pre-concentration are critical components of pharmaceutical analysis. The dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) technique is widely recognized as the most effective approach for enhancing overall detection sensitivity. While various DLLME modes have been advanced in pharmaceutical analysis, there need to be more discussions on pre-concentration techniques specifically developed for this field. This review presents a comprehensive overview of the different DLLME modes used in pharmaceutical analysis from 2017 to May 2023. The review covers the principles of DLLME, the factors affecting microextraction, the selected applications of different DLLME modes, and their advantages and disadvantages. Additionally, it focuses on multi-extraction strategies employed for pharmaceutical analysis.

Hybrid porous material supported in a cellulose acetate polymeric membrane for the direct immersion thin-film microextraction of parabens in water. J Chromatogr A 2023; 1705:464187. [PMID: 37419016 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2023.464187] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2023] [Revised: 06/22/2023] [Accepted: 06/29/2023] [Indexed: 07/09/2023]
Abstract
A simple and sensitive direct immersion thin-film microextraction (DI-TFME) method based on MIL-101(Cr) modified with carbon nanofibers supported in cellulose acetate (CA-MIL-101(Cr)@CNFs) polymeric membrane was developed for the extraction and preconcentration of parabens in environmental water samples. A high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) was used for the determination and quantification of methylparaben (MP) and propylparaben (PP). The factors affecting the DI-TFME performance were investigated using central composite design (CCD). The linearity of the DI-TFME/HPLC-DAD method obtained under optimal conditions was 0.04-0.04-500 µg/L with a correlation coefficient (R2) greater than 0.99, respectively. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) for methylparaben were 11 ng/L and 37 ng/L; for propylparaben, they were 13 ng/L and 43 ng/L, respectively. The enrichment factors were 93.7 and 123 for methylparaben and propylparaben. The intraday (repeatability) and interday (reproducibility) precisions expressed as relative standard deviations (%RSD) were less than 5%. Furthermore, the DI-TFME/HPLC-DAD method was validated using real water samples spiked with known concentrations of the analytes. The recoveries ranged from 91.5 to 99.8%, and intraday and interday trueness values were less than ±15%. The DI-TFME/HPLC-DAD approach was effectively used for the preconcentration and quantification of parabens in river water and wastewater samples.

Abstract
Context One in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. Yet, the burden of disease is greater in Black women. Black women have a 40% higher mortality rate than White women, and a higher incidence of breast cancer at age 40 and younger. While the underlying cause of this disparity is multifactorial, exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in hair and other personal care products has been associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. Parabens are known EDCs that are commonly used as preservatives in hair and other personal care products, and Black women are disproportionately exposed to products containing parabens. Objective Studies have shown that parabens impact breast cancer cell proliferation, death, migration/invasion, and metabolism, as well as gene expression in vitro. However, these studies were conducted using cell lines of European ancestry; to date, no studies have utilized breast cancer cell lines of West African ancestry to examine the effects of parabens on breast cancer progression. Like breast cancer cell lines with European ancestry, we hypothesize that parabens promote protumorigenic effects in breast cancer cell lines of West African ancestry. Methods Luminal breast cancer cell lines with West African ancestry (HCC1500) and European ancestry (MCF-7) were treated with biologically relevant doses of methylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben. Results Following treatment, estrogen receptor target gene expression and cell viability were examined. We observed altered estrogen receptor target gene expression and cell viability that was paraben and cell line specific. Conclusion This study provides greater insight into the tumorigenic role of parabens in the progression of breast cancer in Black women.

Abstract
Dichlorvos (DDVP) is an organophosphorous insecticide which is classified as "highly hazardous" Class 1B chemical by World Health Organization (WHO) and largely misused for the purpose of self-poisoning in developing countries. Forensic toxicology laboratories are routinely encountering cases of pesticide poisoning due to their fatal intoxication. Herein; a method is described based on vortex-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (VA-DLLME) coupled with Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) for the determination of an organophosphorous insecticide; dichlorvos (DDVP) in human autopsy samples (blood, stomach content and liver). Under the optimum conditions, the method was found to be linear in the range of 0.5-10 µg mL-1 and 1.5-10 µg g-1 for blood and tissue samples, respectively. Limit of quantification was set at 0.55 µg mL-1 and 1.1 µg g-1 for blood and tissue samples, respectively. Intraday and inter-day precisions were less than 8 and 12 %, respectively. Good recoveries in the range of 86-95 % were obtained for the proposed procedure. The method has been satisfactorily applied for the determination of DDVP in autopsy samples from two different cases received in our laboratory. In comparison to previous methods; the proposed method is relatively short, high sample throughput, inexpensive and adheres to the principles of green analytical chemistry (GAC) for determination of DDVP in human autopsy samples. The method can be adopted in forensic toxicological laboratories for analysis of DDVP in autopsy samples. In addition, the green character of the proposed method was evaluated using ComplexGAPI procedure.

Abstract
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are known contributors to breast cancer development. Exposures to EDCs commonly occur through food packaging, cookware, fabrics, and personal care products, as well as external environmental sources. Increasing evidence highlights disparities in EDC exposure across racial/ethnic groups, yet breast cancer research continues to lack the inclusion necessary to positively impact treatment response and overall survival in socially disadvantaged populations. Additionally, the inequity in environmental exposures has yet to be remedied. Exposure to EDCs due to structural racism poses an unequivocal risk to marginalized communities. In this review, we summarize recent epidemiological and molecular studies on 2 lesser-studied EDCs, the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and the parabens, the health disparities that exist in EDC exposure between populations, and their association with breast carcinogenesis. We discuss the importance of understanding the relationship between EDC exposure and breast cancer development, particularly to promote efforts to mitigate exposures and improve breast cancer disparities in socially disadvantaged populations.

Abstract
The reliable analysis of various compounds from tissue requires a tedious sample preparation. The sample pretreatment usually involves proper homogenization that facilitates extraction of target analytes, followed by an appropriate sample clean-up preventing matrix effects. Electromembrane extraction (EME) seems to have a significant potential to streamline the whole procedure. In this study, the applicability of EME for direct isolation of analytes from animal tissues was investigated for the first time. Extraction conditions were systematically optimized to isolate model analytes (daunorubicin and its metabolite daunorubicinol) from various tissues (myocardium, skeletal muscle and liver) coming from a pharmacokinetic study in rabbits. The relative recoveries of daunorubicin and its metabolite in all tissues, determined by the UHPLC-MS/MS method, were higher than 66 and 75%, respectively. Considerably low matrix effects (0 ± 8% with CV lower than 6%) and negligible content of phospholipids detected in EME extracts demonstrate the exceptional effectiveness of this microextraction approach in purification of tissue samples. The difference in the concentrations of the analytes determined after EME and reference liquid-liquid extraction of real tissue samples was lower than 12%, which further emphasized the trustworthiness of EME. Moreover, the considerable time reduction needed for sample treatment in case of EME must be emphasized. This study proved that EME is a simple, effective and reliable microextraction technique capable of direct extraction of the analytes from pulverized tissues without the need for an additional homogenization or purification step.

Abstract
Molybdenum disulfide-graphene oxide composite (MoS2/GO) was synthesized and used as the adsorbent in dispersive solid-phase extraction. Four paraben preservatives, namely, methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben, were enriched with MoS2/GO and determined by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography. Molybdenum disulfide was intercalated into graphene oxide layers to reduce self-aggregation by using the solvothermal method. The experimental results indicated that the as-prepared MoS2/GO composite exhibited great enrichment capability toward those four paraben preservatives, and the adsorption time was 10 min and the elution time was as short as 1 min. The mechanism of MoS2/GO composite and parabens is attributed to hydrogen bonding and electrostatic attraction. The relative standard deviation (RSD, n = 9) of this method was below 7.6%. Limits of detection and limits of quantification were in the range 0.4-2.3 ng/mL and 1.4-7.6 ng/mL, respectively. The recoveries obtained from the parabens of cosmetic sample were in the range 91.3-124% with RSDs below 10%. The developed method has great potential for the determination of emerging contaminants with low cost and high sensitivity.

Abstract
Cosmetics are a source of lifetime exposure to various substances including parabens, being the most popular synthetic preservatives. Because the use of cosmetics shows an increasing trend and some adverse health outcomes of parabens present in these products have been reported, the present review focused on the safety of dermal application of these compounds. Special attention has been paid to the absorption of parabens and their retention in the human body in the intact form, as well as to their toxicological characteristics. Particular emphasis has been placed on the estrogenic potential of parabens. Based on the available published data of the concentrations of parabens in various kinds of cosmetics, the average ranges of systemic exposure dose (SED) for methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben have been calculated. Safety evaluations [margin of safety (MoS)] for these compounds, based on their aggregate exposure, have also been performed. Moreover, evidence for the negative impact of methylparaben on skin cells has been provided, and the main factors that may intensify dermal absorption of parabens and their impact on the skin have been described. Summarizing, the use of single cosmetics containing parabens should not pose a hazard for human health; however, using excessive quantities of cosmetic preparations containing these compounds may lead to the development of unfavorable health outcomes. Due to the real risk of estrogenic effects, as a result of exposure to parabens in cosmetics, simultaneous use of many cosmetic products containing these preservatives should be avoided.

Abstract
Although parabens are useful due to their antiseptic properties, their widespread use has caused concerns regarding their potential toxicological effects. In this study, a novel magnetic solid-phase extraction combined with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (MSPE-UHPLC-MS/MS) was developed, based on ordered magnetic mesoporous carbon (MMC), for paraben analysis. The MMC was prepared by soft-template synthesis, with a unique pore structure and a highly specific surface response, indicating potential as an excellent adsorbent. Several parameters affecting the paraben extraction efficiency were investigated and a novel method for paraben analysis in serum and urine samples using MSPE-UHPLCMS/MS was developed. The concentrations of methylparaben, ethylparaben, isopropylparaben, and propylparaben in these samples were 0.0380-4.36, 0.460-9.65, 0.0118-0.770, and 0.0363-0.641 μg/L, respectively, whereas isobutylparaben and butylparaben were not detected. Furthermore, satisfactory recoveries of 76.4-121% with relative standard deviations (n = 5) of 1.9-8.6% were obtained. Therefore, the developed MSPE-UHPLC-MS/MS method was efficient, highly sensitive, and reliable for analysing parabens in complex biological samples.

Fabric phase sorptive extraction combined with high-performance-liquid chromatography-photodiode array analysis for the determination of seven parabens in human breast tissues: Application to cancerous and non-cancerous samples. J Chromatogr A 2020; 1630:461530. [PMID: 32950814 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2020.461530] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2020] [Revised: 08/22/2020] [Accepted: 09/06/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
An improved pretreatment approach of human breast tissue is demonstrated for subsequent analysis of seven parabens including methyl paraben (MPB), ethyl paraben (EPB), propyl paraben (PPB), butyl paraben (BPB), isopropyl paraben (iPPB), isobutyl paraben (iBPB), and benzyl paraben (BzPB). Specifically, a well-designed homogenization procedure, conjugated with an optimized fabric phase sorptive extraction (FPSE) protocol, resulted in a carefully outlined sample preparation process as part of a green, simple, sensitive, economical and fast HPLC-PDA analytical method in agreement with Green Analytical Chemistry (GAC) demands. Among all tested FPSE membranes, the highest extraction efficiency was achieved by employing sol-gel poly(tetrahydrofuran) (sol-gel PTHF) coating on 100% cotton cellulose fabric that represents a medium polarity microextraction device, which combined the advanced material characteristics of sol-gel sorbent and the rich surface chemistry of an inherent porous cellulose fabric substrate. The chromatographic separation was accomplished with a Spherisorb C18 column and an isocratic mobile phase consisted of ammonium acetate and acetonitrile at a flow rate of 1.4 mL/min. The total analysis time was 13.6 min. The analytical adequacy of the composite sample preparation and chromatographic separation method was strongly evidenced by its successful application in the bioanalysis of real cancerous and non-cancerous tissue samples originated from different sub regions of human breast including axila, the upper left and the right quadrant. In all samples, at least one paraben was detected, while 35% of the samples were tested positive for all seven target parabens. Moreover, concentration levels of parabens in cancerous tissues were unambiguously higher than in healthy tissues. The obtained results underlined bioaccumulation potential of parabens in human breast tissue as a consequence of constant low-dose exposure of humans, despite the statutory concentration limits. The developed methodology has demonstrated to be suitable and efficient for future epidemiological and toxicological studies.

Reactive Adsorption of Parabens on Synthesized Micro- and Mesoporous Silica from Coal Fly Ash: pH Effect on the Modification Process. ACS OMEGA 2020; 5:3346-3357. [PMID: 32118149 PMCID: PMC7045554 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.9b03537] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2019] [Accepted: 01/28/2020] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
Parabens are widely used as preservatives in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic products. These compounds are known for their estrogen agonist activity. This research investigates the synthesis of micro- and mesoporous silica from coal fly ash at different pH values (13, 11, 9, and 7) as well as its use as an adsorbent for the removal of parabens. The materials were characterized, and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis revealed that the fly ash acid treatment reduced the presence of aluminum, iron, and calcium oxides and also that silica synthesized at lower pH values (7 and 9) showed a higher SiO2 content. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses revealed microporous silica formation for silica synthesized at pH 13 and mesoporous silica at pH 7, 9, and 11. Adsorption tests were performed with materials, and FA-AT7 showed a higher adsorption capacity. The effect of factors (A) adsorbent mass, (B) initial paraben concentration, and (C) agitation rate on the adsorption process was studied for the FA-AT7 adsorbent using a factorial experimental design. Standardized Pareto charts revealed a negative effect of factor A, positive effect of factor B, and negative interaction effects of factors A-B for all studied parabens. Isotherms and multicomponent kinetic studies were performed. A linear type-III isotherm was obtained, and adsorption equilibrium was reached at approximately 10 min.
