- Abstract
- Halogenated organic compounds, such as 1-bromopentane (1-BPT), are used as cleaning agents, synthesis agents, or extraction solvents in the workplace. In the present study, glutathione (GSH) conjugation and hepatotoxicity induced by 1-BPT were investigated in female BALB/c mice. S-Bromopentyl GSH, S-bromopentyl cysteine, and mono-hydroxypentyl mercapturic acid were identified in liver by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. Oral treatment of mice with 1-BPT at 1500 mg/kg produced maximum GSH conjugates at 6 h after treatment. For hepatotoxicity tests, the animals were treated orally with 1-BPT at 375, 750, or 1500 mg/kg in corn oil once for a dose response study or at 1500 mg/kg for 6, 12, 24, or 48 h for a time course study. 1-BPT dose-dependently increased serum activity of ALT and AST and decreased hepatic GSH levels, peaking at 6 and 12 h after treatment. 1-BPT (750 and 1500 mg/kg) also significantly increased the hepatic content of malondialdehyde. Thus, 1-BPT could cause hepatotoxicity and depletion of GSH content by forming GSH conjugates, presenting a toxicity mechanism and potential biomarkers for low molecular weight haloalkanes.
