Physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling for 1-bromopropane in rat using gas uptake inhalation studies

  • Description:
    1-Bromopropane (1-BP) was introduced into the workplace as an ozone depleting alternative solvent (ODA). The potential for human exposure to 1-BP and the reports of adverse effects associated with occupational exposure to high levels of 1-BP have increased the need to understand the mechanism of these adverse effects in animal models as a means of understanding human risk in workers. The objectives of the current studies were to develop a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for 1-BP. The development of the PBPK model for the 1-BP was accomplished by simulating the closed chamber concentration data from the gas-uptake experiments in F-344 rats. We tested different metabolic hypotheses, including two-pathway hypothesis in which metabolism responsibilities are shared by the p450 CYP2E1 and glutathione transferase pathways (GST). The results show that two metabolic pathways hypotheses generated the best predicted values for the actual chamber concentrations. Furthermore, the above model was tested by simulating the gas-uptake data of rats with pre-treated with 1-aminobenzotrizole (ABT), a potent general P450 suicide inhibitor, or DL-buthionine (S,R)-sulfoximine (BSO), an inhibitor of glutathione (GSH) synthesis, prior to exposure to 800 ppm 1-BP. The comparative investigation on metabolic pathway of 1-BP through the PBPK modeling in both gender provided critical information in understanding the role of p450 and GST pathways and eventually help to quantitatively extrapolate these animal studies to human.
