Popis: | Dichloroacetate (DCA) and trichloroacetate (TCA) are prominent by-products of chlorination of drinking water. Both chemicals have been shown to be hepatic carcinogens in mice. Prior work has demonstrated that DCA inhibits its own metabolism in rats and humans. This study focuses on the effect of prior administration of DCA or TCA in drinking water on the pharmacokinetics of a subsequent challenge dose of DCA or TCA in male B6C3F1 mice. Mice were provided with DCA or TCA in their drinking water at 2 g/l for 14 days and then challenged with a 100 mg/kg i.v. (non-labeled) or gavage ( 14 C-labeled) dose of DCA or TCA. The challenge dose was administered after 16 h fasting and removal of the haloacetate pre-treatment. The haloacetate blood concentration–time profile and the disposition of 14 C were characterized and compared with controls. The effect of pre-treatment on the in vitro metabolism of DCA in hepatic S9 was also evaluated. Pre-treatment with DCA caused a significant increase in the blood concentration–time profiles of the challenge dose of DCA. No effect on the blood concentration–time profile of DCA was observed after pre-treatment with TCA. Pre-treatment with TCA had no effect on subsequent doses of DCA. Pre-treatment with DCA did not have a significant effect on the formation of 14 CO 2 from radiolabeled DCA. In vitro experiments with liver S9 from DCA-pre-treated mice demonstrated that DCA inhibits it own metabolism. These results indicate that DCA metabolism in mice is also susceptible to inhibition by prior treatment with DCA, however the impact on clearance is less marked in mice than in F344 rats. In contrast, the metabolism and pharmacokinetics of TCA is not affected by pre-treatment with either DCA or TCA. |
