Subchronic and reproductive toxicity and teratology of haloxyfop herbicide.

Quast JF, Yano BL, Dietz FK, Marler RM, Hayes WC

Toxicology Research Laboratory, The Dow Chemical Company, Midland, MI.

The subchronic toxicity of haloxyfop (2-(4-((3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-
pyridinyl)oxy)phenoxy)propanoic acid) herbicide, a peroxisome proliferator, was evaluated in rats, mice, dogs and monkeys. Male rats given 0.2 or 2.0 mg/kg/day and female rats given 2.0 mg/kg/day in feed for 16 weeks had peroxisome associated hepatocellular hypertrophy. Male and female rats given 2.0 mg/kg/day for 37 weeks also had increased renal tubular pigment. Mice given 2.0 mg/kg/day in feed for 13 weeks had peroxisome associated hepatocellular hypertrophy. Dogs fed 20 mg/kg/day and monkeys gavaged with 30 mg/kg/day for 13 weeks had hepatocellular hypertrophy, decreased size of thyroid follicles, and decreased red blood cell counts and serum cholesterol. Hepatocellular effects in dogs and monkeys were not associated with peroxisome proliferation. No-observed effect levels were between 0.02 and 0.2 mg/kg/day for rats, 0.2 mg/kg/day for mice, and 2 mg/kg/day for dogs and monkeys. There were no effects on reproduction in rats at dose levels up to 1.0 mg/kg/day or evidence of teratogenicity in rats or rabbits at dose levels up to 7.5 or 20 mg/kg/day, respectively.

Species-dependent induction of peroxisome proliferation by haloxyfop, an aryloxyphenoxy herbicide.

Stott WT, Yano BL, Williams DM, Barnard SD, Hannah MA, Cieszlak FS, Herman JR.

Dow Chemical Company, Midland, Michigan 48674, USA.

The potential of haloxyfop [2-(4-((3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2- pyridinyl)oxy)phenoxy)propanoic acid; HAL] to induce the proliferation of hepatocellular peroxisomes (PP) was examined in rats, mice, dogs, and monkeys. Chemically induced PP is associated with the development of liver tumors in rodents via an apparent species-dependent, nongenotoxic mechanism of action. HAL is nongenotoxic yet has been shown to cause liver tumors in female B6C3F1 mice. Ingestion of HAL by rats and/or mice (0.1-14 mg/kg/day for 2 to 4 weeks) resulted in significant dose-related PP as evidenced by hepatocellular hypertrophy, increased peroxisome volume density (VD), and induction of peroxisomal enzymes and CYP4A1. Only a relatively weak induction of PP was noted at a carcinogenic dosage in female mice. In contrast to rodent species, ingestion of up to 20 mg/kg/day HAL by male and female Beagle dogs for 13 weeks failed to increase peroxisomal VD while causing only a slight increase in peroxisomal enzyme activity at the highest dosages. Oral administration of up to 30 mg/kg/day HAL by male and female Cynomolgus monkeys for 13 weeks failed to induce PP. While a direct relationship of PP with tumor formation, at least in mice, was not demonstrated, these data still support the concept that PP represents a potential marker of nongenotoxic tumorigenic activity, at some dosage, in rodents.

Developmental Toxicity of Haloxyfop Ethoxyethyl Ester in the Rat

Machera K

The developmental toxicity of haloxyfop-ethoxyethyl-ester (87237-48-7) (HEE) was studied in rats. Pregnant Wistar-rats were gavaged with 5, 10, or 50mg/kg HEE on days six to 16 of gestation. They were observed for clinical signs of toxicity and sacrificed on gestational day 21. The uteri were removed, examined, and the number of implantations, live and dead fetuses, and resorption sites recorded. The live fetuses were weighed and examined for malformations. HEE at 10 and 50mg/kg caused vaginal bleeding in 40 and 50% of the dams, respectively. The 10 and 50mg/kg doses significantly increased the number of resorptions per litter and decreased the number of live fetuses per litter. The 50mg/kg dose caused a significant decrease in fetal weight. HEE caused a significant dose related increase in the number of cachectic fetuses. The proportion of cachectic fetuses following exposure to 5, 10, and 50mg/kg was 2.0, 6.8, and 20.3%, respectively. Ureterohydronephrosis was the most frequently observed soft tissue malformation, the prevalence of this defect following the 10 and 50mg/kg doses being 42.9 and 54.8%, respectively. The 10 and 50mg/kg doses caused skeletal malformations such as retarded ossification of the sternum and absence of rib 13. The author concludes that haloxyfop-ethoxyethyl-ester is embryotoxic and teratogenic. The no observable effect level is expected to be below 5mg/kg.

Molecular basis for the inhibition of the carboxyltransferase domain of acetyl-coenzyme-A carboxylase by haloxyfop and diclofop.

Zhang H, Tweel B, Tong L.

Department of Biological Sciences, Columbia University, New York, NY 10027, USA.

Acetyl-CoA carboxylases (ACCs) are crucial for the metabolism of fatty acids, making these enzymes important targets for the development of therapeutics against obesity, diabetes, and other diseases. The carboxyltransferase (CT) domain of ACC is the site of action of commercial herbicides, such as haloxyfop, diclofop, and sethoxydim. We have determined the crystal structures at up to 2.5-A resolution of the CT domain of yeast ACC in complex with the herbicide haloxyfop or diclofop. The inhibitors are bound in the active site, at the interface of the dimer of the CT domain. Unexpectedly, inhibitor binding requires large conformational changes for several residues in this interface, which create a highly conserved hydrophobic pocket that extends deeply into the core of the dimer. Two residues that affect herbicide sensitivity are located in this binding site, and mutation of these residues disrupts the structure of the domain. Other residues in the binding site are strictly conserved among the CT domains.

2001 - CHEMICAL EFFECTS ON METABOLISM AND REPRODUCTION

HAASCH ML

MLHAASCH@OLEMISS.EDU, UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI, 347 FASER HALL, P.O. BOX 1848, UNIVERSITY, MS 38677-1848
DESCRIPTION (Adapted from the APPLICANT'S ABSTRACT): The broad, long-term goals of the proposed research are to understand the mechanism(s) by which peroxisome proliferating agents (PPAs) interfere with signaling cross-talk between metabolic pathways and nuclear hormone receptors producing perturbations in reproduction and development. PPAs are a structurally-diverse group of chemicals including herbicides, solvents, and plasticizers, that are known fatty acid, retinoid and endocrine disrupters. These metabolic pathways interact in the regulation of gene expression for reproduction and development. Hepatic peroxisome proliferation by PPAs has species-specificity (rats are sensitive, humans are not) but little is known about the mechanisms of PPAs endocrine disruptive effects. PPA species-specificity has recently been demonstrated in fish allowing investigation of responsive and non-responsive models. Fish exposed to PPAs can bioaccumulate these xenobiotics, and serve as biomarkers of exposure and effect. Furthermore, because human consumption of fish and fish products has increased in the last decade, it is imperative that we understand the potential for adverse effects by these contaminants. Test organisms will be a commercially-important food species, the catfish (sensitive; Haasch, 1996), and a model species, the Japanese medaka (non-sensitive; Scarano et al,. 1994). The proposed research will test the hypothesis that PPAs are endocrine disrupters producing perturbations in reproduction and development. PPAs to be investigated are: clofibrate, as a model PPA, and haloxyfop enthoxyethyl, di-n-butyl-ortho-phthalate (DBoP) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE) as environmental contaminant PPAs. Specific Aims include, 1) determining if PPA-sensitivity is ruired for endocrine disruption and if PAPAS from different chemical classes cause endocrine disruption by similar mechanisms, 2) determination of specific mechanisms of endocrine disruption by examining PPA combinations, and 3) determining if PPA-mediated endocrine disruption can be correlated with reproductive or developmental problems and if PPA exposure produces metabolic alterations in offspring. The proposed investigation will provide insight into cell signaling cross-talk between metabolic pathways and nuclear hormone receptors, endocrine disruption, and the developmental and reproductive effects of PAPAS.

Fluorinated organics in the biosphere.

KEY BD, HOWELL RD, CRIDDLE CS

Dep. Civil Environ. Eng., Mich. State Univ., East Lansing, MI 48824, USA.

BIOSIS COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. The use of organofluorine compounds has increased throughout this century, and they are now ubiquitous environmental contaminants. Although generally viewed as recalcitrant because of their lack of chemical reactivity, many fluorinated organics are biologically active. Several questions surround their distribution, fate, and effects. Of particular interest is the fate of perfluoroalkyl substituents, such as the trifluoromethyl group. Most evidence to date suggest that such groups resist defluorination, yet they can confer significant biological activity. Certain volatile fluorinated compounds can be oxidized in the troposphere yielding nonvolatile compounds, such as trifluoroacetic acid. In addition, certain nonvolatile fluorinated compounds can be transformed in the biosphere to volatile compounds. Research is needed to assess the fate and effects of nonvolatile fluorinated organics, the fluorinated impurities present in commercial formulations, and the transformation

Coenzyme A esters of 2-aryloxyphenoxypropionate herbicides and 2-arylpropionate antiinflammatory drugs are potent and stereoselective inhibitors of rat liver acetyl-CoA carboxylase.

Kemal C, Casida JE.

Department of Entomological Sciences, University of California, Berkeley 94720.

The CoA esters of diclofop, haloxyfop and fluazifop are up to 425-fold more potent than the corresponding unconjugated herbicides as inhibitors of rat liver acetyl-CoA carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.2); the most potent inhibitor is (R)-fluazifopyl-CoA2 (Ki = 0.03 microM). The binding site is stereoselective for (R)-diclofop, the herbicidally active enantiomer, and for (R)-diclofopyl-CoA. The CoA esters of the antiinflammatory drugs ibuprofen and fenoprofen also strongly inhibit this carboxylase. (S)-Ibuprofenyl-CoA (Ki = 0.7 microM), the CoA ester of the enantiomer with antiinflammatory activity, is 15-fold more potent as an inhibitor than (R)-ibuprofenyl-CoA. These results suggest that some of the biological effects of these herbicides and antiinflammatory drugs in animals may be due to the inhibition of acetyl-CoA carboxylase by their acyl-CoA derivatives.

Bioconcentration of haloxyfop-methyl in bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus Rafinesque).

MURPHY PG, LUTENSKE NE

Health and Environmental Sci., Dow Chem. Comp., Midland, Mich. 48674, USA.

BIOSIS COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. Bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus Rafineseque) were exposed to a 14C haloxyfop-methyl (methyl 2-(4-((3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl)oxy)phenoxy)propanoate) concentration averaging 0.29 mug under flow-through conditions for 28 days. At the end of 28 days, the fish were transferred to clean water for a 4-day flow-through clearance period. Bluegill were found to rapidly absorb the ester from water which was then biotransformed at an extremely fast rate within the fish, such that essentially no haloxyfop-methyl was detected in the fish. The estimated bioconcentration factor for haloxyfop-methyl in whole fish was < 17, based upon the detection limit for the ester in fish (0.005 mug/g) and the average concentration of haloxyfop-methyl in exposure water (0.29 mug/L). The principal component of the 14C residue within whole fish was haloxyfop acid (2-(4-((3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl)oxy)phenoxy)propanoic acid) which accounted for an average of about 60% of t [abstract truncated]

The 2-aryloxypropionate haloxyfop is currently being evaluated for use as a herbicide. This compound is structurally similar to a group of 2-arylpropionates that have been shown previously to undergo stereochemical inversion in a variety of mammalian species. To support the data obtained from a number of toxicity/oncongenicity studies, in which racemic haloxyfop was employed, the stereochemical disposition of this compound was examined in the Fischer 344 rat. After administration of racemic haloxyfop (11 mg/kg, po) to male and female Fischer 344 rats, the day 1-10 urine samples were fortified with D4-haloxyfop (center ring label) and extracted, and the haloxyfop enantiomers were converted to diastereomeric derivatives [(S)-phenylethylamine] and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Fecal samples for days 1-10 were fortified with D4-haloxyfop, extracted, and purified by reverse phase high-pressure liquid chromatography prior to derivation and GC/MS analysis. In the female rat, 77.3% of the administered dose was recovered in the day 1-10 urine and feces as parent compound. The stereochemistry of the haloxyfop present in these samples was found to be nearly all (R)-enantiomer (greater than 98%). In the male rat, 52.2% of the dose was recovered in the day 1-10 urine and feces as haloxyfop. The stereochemistry of the parent compound present in these samples was similar to the results seen in the female rat [greater than 98% (R)]. These results show that (S)-haloxyfop undergoes rapid and nearly complete inversion to the (R)-enantiomer in the female Fischer 344 rat. The data also suggest a similar stereochemical inversion of haloxyfop in the male Fischer 344 rat.
