DNA damage by Withanone as a potential cause of liver toxicity observed for herbal products of Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha). Curr Res Toxicol 2021; 2:72-81. [PMID: 34345852 PMCID: PMC8320610 DOI: 10.1016/j.crtox.2021.02.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2020] [Revised: 01/30/2021] [Accepted: 02/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The widely used medicinal herb Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) has been recently reported to cause liver damage. Withanone is a major metabolite of Ashwagandha. Withanone was found to cause DNA damage. Withanone forms adducts with amines and thiols. Withanone-mediated DNA damage has serious biological consequences.
Withania somnifera, commonly known as Ashwagandha, is a medicinal plant used for thousands of years for various remedies. Extracts of Ashwagandha contain more than 200 metabolites, with withanone (win) being one of the major ones responsible for many of its medicinal properties. Recently, several cases of liver toxicity resulting from commercially available Ashwagandha products have been reported. The first report of Ashwagandha-related liver damage was from Japan, which was quickly resolved after drug-withdrawal. Later, similar cases of liver toxicity due to Ashwagandha consumption were reported from the USA and Iceland. Towards understanding the liver toxicity of Ashwagandha extracts, we studied win, a representative withanolide having toxicophores or structural alerts that are commonly associated with adverse drug reactions. We found that win can form non-labile adducts with the nucleosides dG, dA, and dC. Using various biochemical assays, we showed that win forms adducts in DNA and interfere with its biological property. Win also forms adducts with amines and this process is reversible. Based on the data presented here we concluded that win is detoxified by GSH but under limiting GSH levels it can cause DNA damage. The work presented here provides a potential mechanism for the reported Ashwagandha-mediated liver damage.

28-day inhalation toxicity of 3-methoxybutyl chloroformate in rats. Toxicol Rep 2018; 5:213-219. [PMID: 29854591 PMCID: PMC5977156 DOI: 10.1016/j.toxrep.2017.12.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2017] [Revised: 09/23/2017] [Accepted: 12/08/2017] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
3-MBCF up to 6 ppm induced mortality in 28-day inhalation study of rats. The NOAEL of 3-MBCF in 28 day inhalation toxicity study, was less than 3 ppm. 3-MBCF under 12 ppm did not induce micronucleus formation in the bone marrow of rats.
The 28-day repeated inhalation study was applied for hazard assessment of 3-methoxybutyl chloroformate (3-MBCF) in Sprague Dawley rats. Groups of five rats per sex were exposed 6 h/day, 5 days per week for 4 weeks to test substance concentration (ranging from 3 to 12 ppm) using a whole-body exposure system. At the terminal sacrifice, following blood collection and gross pathological examination, organ weights were determined and fixed organs were examined. The micronucleus test was performed using bone marrow cells. Exposure of 3-MBCF induced mortality at concentrations above 6 ppm. Decreases in body weight and food intake, hematologic alterations, organ weight changes, and gross and microscopic findings were seen even at the lowest concentrations of 3 ppm. Histopathology revealed principal test substance exposure correlated with lesions in the respiratory tract in both male and female rats above 3 ppm. Groups of male rats exposed above 6 ppm show microscopic lesions in spleens, livers, testes and epididymides; however, the micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes frequency in bone marrow cells was not changed. Based on histopathology of the respiratory tract and other organs, the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of 3-MBCF in the present study was less than 3 ppm.

Increased Afterload Augments Sunitinib-Induced Cardiotoxicity in an Engineered Cardiac Microtissue Model. JACC Basic Transl Sci 2018; 3:265-276. [PMID: 30062212 PMCID: PMC6059907 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacbts.2017.12.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2017] [Revised: 12/22/2017] [Accepted: 12/22/2017] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Sunitinib, a multitargeted oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor, used widely to treat solid tumors, results in hypertension in up to 47% and left ventricular dysfunction in up to 19% of treated individuals. The relative contribution of afterload toward inducing cardiac dysfunction with sunitinib treatment remains unknown. We created a preclinical model of sunitinib cardiotoxicity using engineered microtissues that exhibited cardiomyocyte death, decreases in force generation, and spontaneous beating at clinically relevant doses. Simulated increases in afterload augmented sunitinib cardiotoxicity in both rat and human microtissues, which suggest that antihypertensive therapy may be a strategy to prevent left ventricular dysfunction in patients treated with sunitinib.

Amino-functionalized poloxamer 407 with both mucoadhesive and thermosensitive properties: preparation, characterization and application in a vaginal drug delivery system. Acta Pharm Sin B 2017; 7:593-602. [PMID: 28924553 PMCID: PMC5595263 DOI: 10.1016/j.apsb.2017.03.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2017] [Revised: 02/23/2017] [Accepted: 03/07/2017] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Lack of mucoadhesive properties is the major drawback to poloxamer 407 (F127)-based in situ hydrogels for mucosal administration. The objective of the present study was to construct a novel mucoadhesive and thermosensitive in situ hydrogel drug delivery system based on an amino-functionalized poloxamer for vaginal administration. First, amino-functionalized poloxamer 407 (F127-NH2) was synthesized and characterized with respect to its micellization behavior and interaction with mucin. Then using acetate gossypol (AG) as model drug, AG-loaded F127-NH2-based in situ hydrogels (NFGs) were evaluated with respect to rheology, drug release, ex vivo vaginal mucosal adhesion, in vivo intravaginal retention and local irritation after vaginal administration to healthy female mice. The results show that F127-NH2 is capable of forming a thermosensitive in situ hydrogel with sustained drug release properties. An interaction between positively charged F127-NH2 and negatively charged mucin was revealed by changes in the particle size and zeta potential of mucin particles as well as an increase in the complex modulus of NFG caused by mucin. Ex vivo and in vivo fluorescence imaging and quantitative analysis of the amount of AG remaining in mouse vaginal lavage all demonstrated greater intravaginal retention of NFG than that of an unmodified F127-based in situ hydrogel. In conclusion, amino group functionalization confers valuable mucoadhesive properties on poloxamer 407.

Flame retardant tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl)phosphate (TDCPP) toxicity is attenuated by N-acetylcysteine in human kidney cells. Toxicol Rep 2017; 4:260-264. [PMID: 28959647 PMCID: PMC5615114 DOI: 10.1016/j.toxrep.2017.05.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2017] [Revised: 05/11/2017] [Accepted: 05/14/2017] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Prolonged exposure to the flame retardants found in many household products and building materials is associated with adverse developmental, reproductive, and carcinogenic consequences. While these compounds have been studied in numerous epidemiological and animal models, less is known about the effects of flame retardant exposure on cell function. This study evaluated the toxicity of the commonly used fire retardant tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl)phosphate (TDCPP) in cell line derived from the kidney, a major tissue target of organohalogen toxicity. TDCPP inhibited cell growth at lower concentrations (IC50 27 μM), while cell viability and toxicity were affected at higher concentrations (IC50 171 μM and 168 μM, respectively). TDCPP inhibited protein synthesis and caused cell cycle arrest, but only at higher concentrations. Additionally, the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) reduced cell toxicity in cells treated with TDCPP, suggesting that exposure to TDCPP increased oxidative stress in the cells. In summary, these data show that low concentrations of TDCPP result in cytostasis in a kidney cell line, whereas higher concentrations induce cell toxicity. Furthermore, TDCPP toxicity can be attenuated by NAC, suggesting that antioxidants may be effective countermeasures to some organohalogen exposures.

ST-elevation myocardial infarction risk in the very elderly. BBA CLINICAL 2016; 6:108-12. [PMID: 27635386 PMCID: PMC5024138 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbacli.2016.09.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2016] [Revised: 08/24/2016] [Accepted: 09/01/2016] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Background Despite the high incidence and mortality of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) among the very elderly, risk markers for this condition remain poorly defined. This study was designed to identify independent markers of STEMI among individuals carefully selected for being healthy or manifesting STEMI in < 24 h. Methods We enrolled participants aged 80 years or older of whom 50 were STEMI patients and 207 had never manifested cardiovascular diseases. Blood tests, medical and psychological evaluations were obtained at study admission. Odds Ratio (OR) and attributed risk (AR) were obtained by multivariate regression models using STEMI as dependent variable. Results Low glomerular filtration rate (GFR) [OR:4.41 (1.78–10.95); p = 0.001], reduced levels of HDL-C [OR:10.70 (3.88–29.46); p = 0.001], male gender [OR:12.08 (5.82–25.08); p = 0.001], moderate to severe depressive symptoms [OR:10.00 (2.82–35.50); p = 0.001], prior smoking [OR:2.00 (1.05–3.80); p = 0.034] and current smoking [OR:6.58 (1.99–21.70); p = 0.002] were significantly associated with STEMI. No association was found between STEMI and age, diabetes, hypertension, mild depressive symptoms, triglyceride or LDL-C. Conclusions This is the first case–control study carried out with very elderlies to assess STEMI risk. Our findings indicate that reduced HDL-C, GFR, male gender, smoking habits and moderate to severe depressive symptoms are markers of STEMI in this age group. General Significance In Individuals aged 80 or more years, a greater attention must be paid to low HDL-C and GFR at the expense of conventional STEMI risk factors for younger adults such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension and high LDL-C or triglyceride. Population aging are rapidly increasing worldwide, especially in developing countries. Incidence and mortality due to cardiovascular diseases is extremely high in the very elderly population. There is no specific algorithm for cardiovascular disease risk estimation for very elderly individuals. Among the very elderly, markers of cardiovascular risk are distinct from younger adults.

Abstract
Objectives Vitamin C (l-ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble micronutrient necessary for human life. Inadequate intake can lead to the fatal disease scurvy. Measurement of vitamin C is used to assess nutritional status and to monitor supplementation. The goal of this study was to develop a chromatographic method for the quantitation of vitamin C in human plasma. Design and methods Samples were prepared by protein precipitation, addition of internal standard, and reduction with dithiothreitol. Separation of ascorbic acid was accomplished by isocratic elution on a reverse-phase column; concentration was determined by coulometry. The method was validated through studies of assay linearity, sensitivity, imprecision, accuracy, analytical specificity, and carryover. Results The new assay was developed using a single pump/single analytical column HPLC system. Results correlated well with our previously used spectrophotometric method. The analytical measurement range was 1.0–2500 µmol/L. The injection-to-injection time was 13 min. Subsequently, to increase method throughput and shorten turnaround time, a dual LC pump system with a 2-position/10-port switching valve capable of performing automatic alternating column regeneration was validated and implemented. The injection-to-injection time was reduced 2-fold to 6 min. The method was linear to 5000 µmol/L; limit of quantification was 1.9 µmol/L. Total imprecision was less than 5%. Conclusions We have developed a robust method suitable for routine clinical measurement of vitamin C in plasma specimens. The method incorporates a simplified sample preparation and a stable, non-endogenous internal standard to specifically quantify vitamin C. Faster throughput was achieved by employing an automatic alternating column regeneration system.

Abstract
Decaleside II, a novel trisaccharide isolated from the edible roots of Decalepis hamiltonii, belongs to a new class of natural insecticides. We have evaluated the mammalian safety of Decaleside II in the laboratory mouse. Our results on acute and sub acute toxicity study suggest that Decaleside II is not toxic to the laboratory mice as there were no symptoms of toxicity or mortality up to 2400 mg/kg bw. Haematological profile was unaltered and serum profiles of enzymes were not significantly affected. The lack of toxicity of Decaleside is attributed to the 1,4 α linkage of the sugars which are easily hydrolyzed by the digestive enzymes such as glucosidases. The selective toxicity to insects and mammalian safety of Decaleside II makes them highly suitable for use as novel grain protectants of natural origin.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third most frequent cause of cancer deaths throughout the world. This study was aimed to analyze oxidative stress and cell damage in a multistage model of liver carcinogenesis induced by diethylnitrosamine (DEN) in rats. Male Wistar rats weighing 145–150 g were divided into three groups: control, precancerous lesions (PL) (which received 100 mg DEN once a week every 6 weeks up to 28 weeks), and advanced HCC (50 mg DEN once/twice per week up to 19 weeks). Lipid peroxidation (TBARS), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and expression of transforming growth factor-1 beta (TGF)-1β, endothelial and inducible nitric oxide syntahese (eNOS, iNOS), NADPH quinone oxireductase (NQO)-1, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (NrF)2, kelch-like ECH-associated protein (Keap)1 and heat shock protein (HSP)70 were measured. TBARS concentration was augmented in the PL and advanced HCC groups. SOD activity, TGF-1β and Nrf2 expression were higher in animals with precancerous lesions. In advanced HCC, expression of NQO1 and iNOS increased while there was a decrease in HPS70 expression. Data obtained provide evidence for the differential activation of proteins involved in oxidative stress and cell damage during progression of carcinogenesis in an animal model of HCC.
