Developing structure-activity relationships for the prediction of hepatotoxicity.

Chem. Res. Toxicol. 23 , 1215-22, (2010)

Drug-induced liver injury is a major issue of concern and has led to the withdrawal of a significant number of marketed drugs. An understanding of structure-activity relationships (SARs) of chemicals can make a significant contribution to the identification o...

A predictive ligand-based Bayesian model for human drug-induced liver injury.

Drug Metab. Dispos. 38 , 2302-8, (2010)

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is one of the most important reasons for drug development failure at both preapproval and postapproval stages. There has been increased interest in developing predictive in vivo, in vitro, and in silico models to identify comp...

Molecular basis for the enhanced lipase-catalyzed N-acylation of 1-phenylethanamine with methoxyacetate.

ChemBioChem. 7(11) , 1745-9, (2006)

One of the commercial methods for preparing enantiopure amines is lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution, although lipases catalyze aminolysis with only low activity. Interestingly, in 1997 Balkenhohl et al. used ethyl methoxyacetate instead of ethyl butyrate as...

Correlation between urinary methoxyacetic acid and exposure of ethylene glycol dimethyl ether in a lithium battery plant.

Int. Arch. Occup. Environ. Health 81(1) , 123-6, (2007)

To examine the correlation between airborne ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (EGdiME) exposures and the urinary methoxyacetic acid (MAA) and to approach the issue of a permissible exposure limit for EGdiME.The survey was conducted on Thursday. Workers occupatio...

Diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether and the metabolite, 2-methoxyacetic acid affect in vitro chondrogenesis.

Reprod. Toxicol. 22(4) , 718-24, (2006)

Diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (DEGME), ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGME) and their common metabolite, methoxyacetic acid (MAA) have been associated with adverse reproductive effects. The objective of this research is to investigate the effects of D...

Toxicant-induced leakage of germ cell-specific proteins from seminiferous tubules in the rat: relationship to blood-testis barrier integrity and prospects for biomonitoring.

Toxicol. Sci. 117(2) , 439-48, (2010)

Evaluation of testicular toxicity during drug development is currently based on histopathological evaluation. A sensitive biomarker for testicular toxicology could provide an in-life and "early warning" measurement. Previous studies suggested that disruption ...

Chemical class-specific gene expression changes in the zebrafish embryo after exposure to glycol ether alkoxy acids and 1,2,4-triazole antifungals.

Reprod. Toxicol. 32(2) , 245-52, (2011)

The zebrafish embryotoxicity test (ZET) is an alternative test to predict embryotoxicity of substances based on morphological assessment. Implementing transcriptomics may increase sensitivity and objectivity of the test system. We applied the category approac...

Hematological effects of exposure to mixtures of selected ethylene glycol alkyl ethers in rats.

Pharmacol. Rep. 64(1) , 166-78, (2012)

Exposure to various ethylene glycol monoalkyl ethers (EGAEs) is known to result in hemolytic effect caused by their metabolites, appropriate alkoxyacetic acids, generated via both alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase. It has been shown in many stu...

Relative embryotoxicity of two classes of chemicals in a modified zebrafish embryotoxicity test and comparison with their in vivo potencies.

Toxicol. In Vitro 25(3) , 745-53, (2011)

The zebrafish embryotoxicity test (ZET) is a fast and simple method to study chemical toxicity after exposure of the complete vertebrate embryo during embryogenesis in ovo. We developed a novel quantitative evaluation method to assess the development of the z...

Gas chromatography analysis of urinary alkoxyacetic acids as biomarkers of exposure to aliphatic alkyl ethers.

J. Anal. Toxicol. 30(4) , 252-7, (2006)

Analysis of alkoxyacetic acids has received considerable research interest in toxicology because these compounds have been reported as metabolites and biomarkers of exposure to widely used industrial chemicals such as alkyl-substituted ethylene glycols and ot...
