In vitro evaluation of the inhalation toxicity of the cosmetic ingredient aluminum chlorohydrate. J Appl Toxicol 2022; 42:2016-2029.

Abstract
Aluminum chlorohydrate (ACH) is a major aerosol component frequently used as the active ingredient in antiperspirants, and in vivo studies have raised a concern about its inhalation toxicity. Still, few studies have addressed its effects on the human respiratory tract. Therefore, we developed a study on ACH inhalation toxicity using an in vitro human alveolar cell model (A549 cells) with molecular and cellular markers of oxidative stress, immunotoxicity, and epigenetic changes. The chemical characterization of ACH suspensions indicated particle instability and aggregation; however, side-scatter analysis demonstrated significant particle uptake in cells exposed to ACH. Exposure of A549 cells to non-cytotoxic concentrations of ACH (0.25, 0.5, and 1 mg/ml) showed that ACH induced reactive oxygen species. Moreover, ACH upregulated TNF, IL6, IL8, and IL1A genes, but not the lncRNAs NEAT1 and MALAT1. Finally, no alterations on the global DNA methylation pattern (5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine) or the phosphorylation of histone H2AX (γ-H2AX) were observed. Our data suggest that ACH may induce oxidative stress and inflammation on alveolar cells, and A549 cells may be useful to identify cellular and molecular events that may be associated with adverse effects on the lungs. Still, further research is needed to ensure the inhalation safety of ACH.

Abstract
The chemistry of aluminum or oxo-aluminum in water is still relatively unknown, although it is the basis for many chemical and industrial processes, including flocculation in water treatment plants. Trimeric species have a predominant role in the formation of the Keggin cations, which are the basic building blocks of aluminum-based chemicals. Despite this, details of the structural evolution of these small solvated clusters and how this is related to the processes leading to the formation of larger aggregates are still an open issue. To address these questions, here, we have applied the metadynamics (MTD) simulation technique [ Barducci , A. ; Wiley Interdiscip. Rev.: Comput. Mol. Sci. 2010 , 1 , 826 - 843 ] with density functional theory-based molecular dynamics to disclose the dynamics and structural conversions of trimeric aluminum complexes in an aqueous environment. The existence of a variety of competing metastable conformations, for example, book-like, cyclic boat, and linear shape conformations, is revealed in the MTD simulation. Furthermore, equilibrium simulations of the various intermediate states encountered along the MTD trajectory are used to assess their (meta)stability, determine the rearrangement of the OH ligands, and discuss the role of the solvating water.

Abstract
We have developed a simple model for incorporating the influence of external pressure and solution pH into a cluster based (i.e. comprising the central Al(3+) cation and nearest neighbor coordinating H2O and OH(-) ligands) 1st principles approach to investigate the hydrolysis equilibria of aqueous Al(3+) monomeric species in high pressure environments such as are found in the Earth's mantle. Our model is demonstrated to reproduce the well documented bulk chemistry of the aqueous Al(3+) system under ambient conditions, namely the system is dominated at low and high pH by the 6-coordinated aqua species and 4 coordinated hydroxide species, respectively, while all remaining species occupy a narrow intermediate pH range. Coupling this model to changes in solution pH is achieved by using [H3O(+)] as a parameter in the definition of the formation equilibrium constants used; the influence of external pressure is evaluated using Planck's equation. This approach predicts that changes in external pressure will induce drastic changes in the aqueous solubility of these species under high pressure conditions and moderate changes at as low as 5 GPa. Finally, some industrial and geochemical implications of this result are discussed.

Abstract
We present results showing that our recently developed density functional theory (DFT)-based speciation model of the aqueous Al(3+) system has the potential to improve the interpretations of ESI-MS studies of aqueous metal cation hydrolytic speciation. The main advantages of our method are that (1) it allows for the calculation of the relative abundance of a given species which may be directly assigned to the signal intensity in a mass spectrum; (2) in cases where species with identical m⁄z ratios may coexist, the assignment can be unambiguously assigned based on their theoretical relative abundances. As a demonstration of its application, we study four pairs of monomer and dimer aqueous Al(3+) species, each with identical m/z ratio. For some of these pairs our method predicts that the dominant species changes from the monomer to the dimer species under varying pH conditions.

Abstract
Besides their fundamental importance, multiply charged anions (MCAs) are considered as promising molecular capacitors for which their intrinsic stabilities are of great significance. Herein, the gas-phase stabilities of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) anions (i.e. [EDTA-nH](n-), n = 1-4) and their Pb(II) complexes (i.e. [EDTA + Pb-nH]((2-n)-), n = 3, 4) have been investigated using an approach that combines extractive electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (EESI-MS) measurements, Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory/Tao-Perdew-Staroverov-Scuseria calculations. The EESI-MS data showed that the doubly charged EDTA anions in the form of [EDTA-2H](2-) and [EDTA + Pb-4H](2-) were much more abundantly observed than the singly charged species such as [EDTA-H](-) and [EDTA + Pb-3H](-), respectively. The calculation results indicated that [EDTA-2H](2-) and [EDTA + Pb-4H](2-) anions were thermodynamically more stable than the [EDTA-H](-) and [EDTA + Pb-3H](-) species in the gas phase, respectively. The [EDTA + Pb-3H](-) anions preferred five-coordinated structure, whereas [EDTA + Pb-4H](2-) anions formed either five-coordinated or six-coordinated structures. The calculations further revealed that significant electron clouds drifting from the ligand EDTA to the metal Pb(II) ions and the large distances between the carboxylic groups reduced the Coulomb repulsion among the excess electrons of these MCAs. Our data demonstrated that EESI-MS combined with theoretic calculations were able to provide a deep insight into the fundamental behavior of stability of MCAs in the gas phase and, thus, might be useful tools for studying MCAs for potential molecular capacitors.
