Mice were intragastrically treated with three different concentrations of alcohol, 7, 14, and 28%, each day for 14 days. Body weight and electrocardiography (ECG) were recorded over the 14 day period. Serum creatine kinase (CK), lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), MDA, tissue iron, and GSH levels were measured. Cardiac tissues were examined histologically, and ferroptosis was assessed. In H9c2 cardiomyocytes, cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS), labile iron pool (LIP), and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were measured. The proteins of ferroptosis were evaluated by the western blot technique in vivo and in vitro. The results showed that serum CK, LDH, MDA, and tissue iron levels significantly increased in the alcohol treatment group in a dose-dependent manner. The content of GSH decreased after alcohol treatment. ECG and histological examinations showed that alcohol impaired cardiac function and structure. In addition, the levels of ROS and LIP increased, and MMP levels decreased after alcohol treatment. Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) protected cells from lipid peroxidation. Western blotting analysis showed that alcohol downregulated the expression of Nrf2, NQO1, HO-1, and GPX4. The expressions of P53 and TfR were upregulated in vivo and in vitro. Fer-1 significantly alleviated alcohol-induced ferroptosis.

Covalent modification of human proteins by such chemicals, or protein haptenation, is a common occurrence in cells and may result in generation of antigenic species, leading to development of hypersensitivity reactions. Ranging in severity of symptoms from local cutaneous reactions and rhinitis to potentially life-threatening anaphylaxis and severe hypersensitivity reactions such as Stephen-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), all these reactions have the same Molecular Initiating Event (MIE), i.e. haptenation. However, not all individuals who are exposed to electrophilic chemicals develop symptoms of hypersensitivity. In the present review, we examine common chemistry behind the haptenation reactions leading to formation of neoantigens. We explore simple reactions involving single molecule additions to a nucleophilic side chain of proteins and complex reactions involving multiple electrophilic centers on a single molecule or involving more than one electrophilic molecule as well as the generation of reactive molecules from the interaction with cellular detoxification mechanisms. Besides generation of antigenic species and enabling activation of the immune system, we explore additional events which result directly from the presence of electrophilic chemicals in cells, including activation of key defense mechanisms and immediate consequences of those reactions, and explore their potential effects. We discuss the factors that work in concert with haptenation leading to the development of hypersensitivity reactions and those that may act to prevent it from developing. We also review the potential harnessing of the specificity of haptenation in the design of potent covalent therapeutic inhibitors.</p>","PeriodicalId":31,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Research in Toxicology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.1021/acs.chemrestox.4c00062","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141246818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CoC compounds are considered highly potent carcinogens that need to be limited below the threshold of toxicological concern, 1.5 μg/day. Nitrosamines like NDMA and NDEA require strict control, while novel nitrosamine drug substance-related impurities (NDSRIs) may or may not be characterized as potent carcinogens. A risk assessment based on the structural features of NDSRIs is important in order to predict potency because they lack substance-specific carcinogenicity. Herein, we present a quantum mechanical (QM)-based analysis on structurally diverse sets of nitrosamines to better understand how structure influences the reactivity that could result in carcinogenicity. We describe the potency trend through activation energies corresponding to α-hydroxylation, aldehyde formation, diazonium intermediate formation, reaction with DNA base, and hydrolysis reactions, and other probable metabolic pathways associated with the carcinogenicity of nitrosamines. We evaluated activation energies for selected cases such as <i>N</i>-nitroso pyrrolidines, <i>N</i>-nitroso piperidines, <i>N</i>-nitroso piperazines, <i>N</i>-nitroso morpholines, <i>N</i>-nitroso thiomorpholine, <i>N</i>-methyl nitroso aromatic, fluorine-substituted nitrosamines, and substituted aliphatic nitrosamines. We compare these results to the recent framework of the carcinogenic potency characterization approach (CPCA) proposed by health authorities which is meant to give guidance on acceptable intakes (AI) for NDSRIs lacking substance-specific carcinogenicity data. We show examples where QM modeling and CPCA are aligned and examples where CPCA both underestimates and overestimates the AI. In cases where CPCA predicts high potency for NDSRIs, QM modeling can help better estimate an AI. Our results suggest that a combined mechanistic understanding of α-hydroxylation, aldehyde formation, hydrolysis, and reaction with DNA bases could help identify the structural features that underpin the potency of nitrosamines. We anticipate this work will be a valuable addition to the CPCA and provide a more analytical way to estimate AI for novel NDSRIs.</p>","PeriodicalId":31,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Research in Toxicology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141157087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary goal of this study was to enhance the Pred-hERG tool for predicting hERG blockage. To achieve this, we developed new QSAR models that incorporated additional data, updated existing classificatory and multiclassificatory models, and introduced new regression models. Notably, we integrated SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) values to offer a visual interpretation of these models. Utilizing the latest data from ChEMBL v30, encompassing over 14,364 compounds with hERG data, our binary and multiclassification models outperformed both the previous iteration of Pred-hERG and all publicly available models. Notably, the new version of our tool introduces a regression model for predicting hERG activity (pIC50). The optimal model demonstrated an <i>R</i><sup>2</sup> of 0.61 and an RMSE of 0.48, surpassing the only available regression model in the literature. Pred-hERG 5.0 now offers users a swift, reliable, and user-friendly platform for the early assessment of chemically induced cardiotoxicity through hERG blockage. The tool provides versatile outcomes, including (i) classificatory predictions of hERG blockage with prediction reliability, (ii) multiclassificatory predictions of hERG blockage with reliability, (iii) regression predictions with estimated pIC<sub>50</sub> values, and (iv) probability maps illustrating the contribution of chemical fragments for each prediction. Furthermore, we implemented explainable AI analysis (XAI) to visualize SHAP values, providing insights into the contribution of each feature to binary classification predictions. A consensus prediction calculated based on the predictions of the three developed models is also present to assist the user’s decision-making process.

Terpenes are commonly found in e-liquids as flavor additives. In the presence of indoor ozone (O<sub>3</sub>), e-cigarette aerosols that contain terpene flavorings can undergo chemical transformations, further producing ROS and reactive carbonyl species.

The aged vaping aerosols, along with fresh aerosols, were collected to detect the presence of ROS. The aged particles exhibited 2- to 11-fold greater oxidative potential, and further analysis showed that these particles formed a greater number of radicals in aqueous conditions. The aging process induced the formation of various alkyl hydroperoxides (ROOH), and through iodometric quantification, we saw that our aged vaping particles contained significantly greater amounts of these hydroperoxides than their fresh counterparts.
