Description:Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) is an important industrial chemical and asthmagenic respiratory sensitizer, however its metabolism remains unclear. In this study we used LC-MS and LC-MS/MS to identify novel reaction products of MDI with oxidized glutathione (GSSG), including an 837m/z [M+H](+) ion corresponding to GSSG bound (via one of its N-termini) to partially hydrolyzed MDI, and an 863m/z [M+H](+) ion corresponding to GSSG cross-linked by MDI (via its two γ-glutamate N-termini) [corrected]. Further studies with heavy isotope labeled and native reduced glutathione (GSH) identified an [M+H](+) ion corresponding to previously described mono(GSH)-MDI, and evidence for "oligomeric" GSH-MDI conjugates. This study also investigated transformational changes in MDI after incubation with an S9 fraction prepared from murine liver. LC-MS analyses of the S9 reaction products revealed the formation of [M+H](+) ions with m/z's and retention times identical to the newly described GSSG-MDI (837 and 863) conjugates and the previously described mono(GSH)-MDI conjugate. Together the data identify novel biological transformations of MDI, which could have implications for exposure-related health effects, and may help target future in vivo studies of metabolism.
