Abstract

1,3-Butadiene is a potent carcinogen in mice and a weaker carcinogen in rats. People are exposed to butadiene through its industrial use--largely in rubber production (over 3 billion pounds of butadiene were produced in 1989)--and because it is common in the environment, occurring in cigarette smoke, gasoline vapor and in the effluents from fossil fuel incineration. Epidemiological studies have provided some evidence for butadiene carcinogenicity in people. Differences in the uptake and metabolism of inhaled butadiene between rodents and primates, including people, might be reflected in differences in its toxicity. In order to compare uptake and metabolism in primates to that in rodents--for which data were already available--the authors exposed cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) to 14C-labeled butadiene at concentrations of 10.1, 310 or 7760 ppm for 2 hr. Exhaled air and excreta were collected during exposure and for 96 hr after exposure. The uptake of butadiene as a result of metabolism was much lower in monkeys than in rodents. For equivalent inhalation exposures, the concentrations of total butadiene metabolites in the blood were 5-50 times lower in monkey than in the mouse, the more sensitive rodent species, and 4-14 times lower than in the rat.

Species differences in the metabolism and disposition of inhaled 1,3-butadiene and isoprene

Journal Article Dahl, A; Bechtold, W; Bond, J; ... - Environmental Health Perspectives; (USA)

Species differences in sensitivity to carcinogenic effects from inhaled 1,3-butadiene might stem, at least in part, from differences in uptake, metabolism, and distribution of 1,3-butadiene. To examine this possibility, rats, mice, and monkeys were exposed to stepped concentrations of {sup 14}C-labeled 1,3-butadiene and the chemically related compound, isoprene. Respiratory data were collected during exposure and were used to determine fractional uptake. Rates and routes of excretion of retained radioactivity were also determined and blood levels of potentially toxic metabolites were measured. Some results from these continuing studies to date are: (a) mice achieve higher blood concentrations of reactive metabolites thanmore »« less

Disposition of inhaled isoprene in B6C3F1 mice

Journal Article Bond, J; Bechtold, W; Birnbaum, L; ... - Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology; (USA)

Isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) is the monomeric unit of widely occurring natural products called terpenes. Isoprene is widely used in industry with nearly 1.1 million pounds produced in the United States in 1987. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the toxicokinetics of inhaled isoprene in B6C3F1 mice and to compare the data to previously published toxicokinetic data in F344 rats. The comparative toxicokinetics in the two species will be useful for extrapolation of rodent toxicity data to humans. Male B6C3F1 mice were exposed to nominal concentrations of 20, 200, and 2000 ppm isoprene or (14C)isoprene for up to 6 hr.more »« less

A brief survey of butadiene health effects: A role for metabolic differences

Journal Article Birnbaum, L - Environmental Health Perspectives

1,3-Butadiene is a major monomer in the rubber and plastics industry and is one of the highest-production industrial chemicals in the United States. Although not highly acutely toxic to rodents, inhalation of concentrations as low as 6.25 ppm causes tumors in mice. Butadiene is oncogenic in rats, but much higher exposure concentrations are required than in mice. Chronic toxicity targets the gonads and hematopoetic system. Butadiene is also a potent mutagen and clastogen. Differences in the absorption, distribution, and elimination of butadiene appear to be relatively minor between rats and mice, although mice do retain more butadiene and its metabolitesmore »« less

Species differences in the distribution of inhaled butadiene in tissues

Journal Article Bond, J; Dahl, A; Henderson, R; ... - Am. Ind. Hyg. Assoc. J.; (United States)

1,3-butadiene is produced commercially for use in the manufacture of elastomers, polymers and other chemicals. Recent inhalation carcinogenicity studies of butadiene indicate that B6C3F/sub 1/ mice are more sensitive to the tumorigenic effects of inhaled butadiene than are Sprague Dawley rats. The purpose of this investigation was to determine if there were differences in distribution in tissues of inhaled butadiene between rats and mice. Male Sprague Dawley rats and B6C3F/sub 1/ mice were exposed nose-only for 3.4 hr to (mean +/- SE) 1220 +/- 71 ..mu..g /sup 14/C-butadiene/L air and 121 +/- 2 ..mu..g /sup 14/C-butadiene/L air, respectively.

Toxicokinetics of acrylamide in rats and humans following single oral administration of low doses

Journal Article Kopp, Eva; Dekant, Wolfgang - Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology

The rodent carcinogen acrylamide (AA) is formed during preparation of starch-containing foods. AA is partly metabolized to the genotoxic epoxide glycidamide (GA). After metabolic processing, the mercapturic acids N-acetyl-S-(2-carbamoylethyl)-L-cysteine (AAMA), rac-N-acetyl-S-(2-carbamoyl-2-hydroxyethyl)-L-cysteine (GAMA) and rac-N-acetyl-S-(1-carbamoyl-moyl-2-hydroxyethyl)-L-cysteine (iso-GAMA) are excreted with urine. In humans, AAMA can be sulfoxidized to AAMA-sulfoxide. The aim of this study was to assess potential species-differences in AA-toxicokinetics in rats and humans after single oral administration of doses similar to the daily human dietary exposure. Male Fischer 344 rats (n = 5/dose group) were administered 20 and 100 {mu}g/kg b.w. {sup 13}C{sub 3}-AA in deionized water via oral gavage.more »« less
