Term
xenobiotics that oxidize DNA
Definition
iron and copper (reactive metals)
Term
radical-induced damage that spreads to large areas of cell membranes
Definition
Lipid peroxidation
Term
cell integrity compromised by loss of ability to maintain ion balance
Definition
Lipid Damage
Term
can cause lipid damage
Definition
Doxorubicine, Mitomycin C
Term
degreaser (can cause lipid peroxidation)
Definition
carbon tetrachloride
Term
destroy enzymes that normally maintain elastic properties of the lung --> emphysema
Definition
radicals in cigarette smoke
Term
oxidation of LDL stimulates plaque accumulation in vessels
Definition
Atherosclerosis
Term
"endocrine disruptors"
Definition
xenoestrogens, phytoestrogens (plants)
Term
interfere with formation and function of reproductive organs
Definition
reactions with nuclear receptors (estrogen receptor)
Term
synthetic estrogen used in mid 1900s to prevent miscarriage- caused vaginal cancer in some daughters of women who took it
Definition
Diethylstibestrol (DES)
Term
can react with xenobiotics to cause endocrine distruption
Definition
Bisphenol A (BPA)
Term
reaction with xenobiotics can activate this to cause changes in protein production, cell proliferation, and cell death
Definition
Arylhydrocarbon Receptor
Term
xenobiotic forms permanent bond with a cell macromolecule
Definition
Covalent binding
Term
seek to bind with nucleophillic compounds (proteins/DNA)
Definition
electrophiles
Term
bioactivated by P450--> covalently binds to proteins especially in the liver
Definition
Acetaminophen
Term
produced by blue-green algae
Definition
Toxic microcystins
Term
Toxicc microcystins covanetly bind and destroy enzymes that regulate this
Definition
cytoskeleton
Term
when toxic microcysts covalently bind the cell distorts causing a disruption of endothelium
Definition
--> hemorrhaging
Term
anticancer drug; form covalent bonds with DNA, can be carcinogenic by mutating DNA
Definition
Cyclophosphamide
Term
from cigarette smoke; forms covalent bond with DNA and can be carcinogenic by mutating DNA
Definition
Benzo-a-pyrene
Term
fungal toxic; DNA as target
Definition
Aflatoxin
Term
physically plugs sodium channels; can cause respiratory failure due to paralysis of nerves that control breathing
Definition
Tetrodotoxin
Term
on insects; forces sodium channel to stay open so axon can't vaporize
Definition
DDT
Term
Acts on sodium-potassium pumps(disruption of ion transporters and ion homeostasis)
Definition
Digitalis; Digitoxin
Term
inhibits enzymes containing iron in the electron transport chain (disruption of mitochondrial function)
Definition
Cyanide
Term
Disruption of mitochondrial function
Definition
Interfere with electron transport; Interfere with proton gradient within mitochondria
Term
Biotransformation
Definition
Phase I and II of metabolism
Term
CYP 1A1
Definition
Benzo(a)pyrene and other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
Term
CYP1A2
Definition
Acetaminophen, NNK=tobacco
Term
CYP2E1
Definition
Benzene (component of gasoline)
Term
CYPE2B6
Definition
Cyclophosphamide
Term
has a sulfhydryl group that makes it important in scavenging a lot of potentially harmful chemical species
Definition
GST
Term
normal cellular antioxidants
Definition
Glutathione, Glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, vitamin E, Vitamin C, Beta-ccarotene
Term
most sensitive to the attack by hydroxyl radical in DNA
Definition
Guanine
Term
Examples that can cause lipid peroxidation
Definition
doxyrubicin, mitomycin C, carbon tetrachloride
Term
oxidation can crosslink/destroy these
Definition
Protein damage
Term
examples of protein damage (leading to a toxic response that causes destruction of cell receptor or enzyme)
Definition
Radicals in cigarette smoke; oxidation of LDL in atherosclerosis
Term
activations of these work to control cell signaling, which affect the development of cells, metabolism, and general function of tissues
Definition
Nuclear Receptors
Term
Diffuses into the cell and binds to the nuclear receptors; then they go into the nucleus and bind response elements in their target genes in DNA and cause the production of proteins
Definition
The Ligand
Term
Change in protein production; change in cell proliferation, cell survival, and cell death
Definition
AhR activation
Term
Proteins as Targets
Definition
Acetaminophen and Toxic Microcystins (cyanobacteria)
Term
DNA as Target
Definition
Anticcancer drugs, Benzo-a-pyrine, Aflatoxin
Term
Interference with neuronal sodium channels
Definition
Tetrodotoxin, DDT
Term
Present in puffer fish, is ingested and accumulates only in the ovaries, intestine and liver of the fish. Can lead to respiratory failure
Definition
Tetrodotoxin
Term
Humans have enzymes that metabolize and clear this very rapidly so it is not very toxic in humans
Definition
DDT
Term
Disruption of mitochondrial function (so it can't generate ATP)
Definition
Cyanide, DNP, and PCP
Term
present in many combustible items; binds to iron containing proteins in the electron transport chain--> ATP not made --> shuts down respiration, cardiac fxn, and CNS
Definition
Cyanide
Term
To save people from cyanide poisoning
Definition
Compound that converts ferric iron to ferrous iron
Term
precursor to vitamin B12; interacts with the sodium and become B12
Definition
Cyanokit
Term
move hydrogen backwards across the membrane; causes energy normally used to create ATP to be released as heat instead
Definition
DNP and PCP
Term
used to be a diet drug; caused hypothermia
Definition
DNP (dinitrophenol)
Term
when DNP and PCP move protons back across the membrane then move back to the inner membrane space and do this over again
Definition
uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation
