Abstract

Chlorophenols (CPs) are common organic pollutants widely used in many industries. The current study seeks to examine the inhibition of sulfotransferases (SULTs) by CPs. Four SULT isoforms were significantly inhibited by multiply CPs. Furthermore, half inhibition concentration (IC₅₀) was calculated to be 0.31 μM, 0.11 μM and 1.86 μM for the inhibition of PCP (pentachlorophenol) towards SULT1A1, SULT1B1 and SULT1E1. PCP showed competitive inhibition towards SULT1B1 and SULT1E1.The inhibition kinetics (inhibition type and parameters (K_i)) values were calculated to be 0.34 μM and 0.56 μM for the inhibition of PCP towards SULT1B1 and SULT1E1, respectively. In silico docking was used to explain the inhibition difference among CPs. The binding free energy between 4-CP and SULT1A3 was -4.92 kcal/mol, and the binding free energy between 2.4-DCP and SULT1A3 was -5.63 kcal/mol. Therefore, 2.4-DCP exerted stronger inhibition activity towards SULT1A3 compared with 4-CP, which can well explain the experimental result. These results are crucial for exploring the risks associated with CPs exposure from a novel perspective.

期刊介绍： Toxicology in Vitro publishes original research papers and reviews on the application and use of in vitro systems for assessing or predicting the toxic effects of chemicals and elucidating their mechanisms of action. These in vitro techniques include utilizing cell or tissue cultures, isolated cells, tissue slices, subcellular fractions, transgenic cell cultures, and cells from transgenic organisms, as well as in silico modelling. The Journal will focus on investigations that involve the development and validation of new in vitro methods, e.g. for prediction of toxic effects based on traditional and in silico modelling; on the use of methods in high-throughput toxicology and pharmacology; elucidation of mechanisms of toxic action; the application of genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics in toxicology, as well as on comparative studies that characterise the relationship between in vitro and in vivo findings. The Journal strongly encourages the submission of manuscripts that focus on the development of in vitro methods, their practical applications and regulatory use (e.g. in the areas of food components cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals). Toxicology in Vitro discourages papers that record reporting on toxicological effects from materials, such as plant extracts or herbal medicines, that have not been chemically characterized.
