Chemical Toxicity • Biological activityof a chemical substance can be expressed as a function of a partition coefficient (“dose”)and a chemical reactivity descriptor (“toxicity”) • For a chemical to express its toxicity it must • be transported from its site of administration to its site of action (partition) • bind or react with a receptor or target molecule (reactivity)
Chemical Reactivity • Electrophilicityis one of the primary chemical reactivity descriptors successfully employed in describing toxicity of diverse classes of chemicals • Electrophilicity Domains • Michael Acceptors • SN-Ar Electrophiles • SN-2 Electrophiles • Schiff base formers • Acrylating agents
Exposure Chemical Reactivity Risk Target Dose Toxicity Physical-chemical determinants - partition constants - electrophilic domains partition electrophilicity
Model Systems • The application of these principles to the prediction of the partition and toxicity of complex mixtures can be achieved in a number of different models covering a wide range of complexity • read across between chemicals with similar chemical/toxicological functionality • large computerized chemical databases containing 2D and 3D structural descriptors • knowledge based expert systems for toxicological modeling
Personal Breathing Zone Exposure KHenry = f(Vp/Solw) Pchem determinants of inhalation exposure f(temp) Exposure (PBZ) composition is determined by, but much different from point source, and changes with temperature. Exp(PBZ) = f(point source)(Vp*T/sol) Sol = f(LogPair/source solvent) Point Source
LogKow MAC = f(Kow) Chemical Reactivity Differential dosing of the airways from a common exposure “toxicity” occurs at all levels of the airways - from nasopharyngeal irritation to occlusion of the terminal conducting airways and destruction of the alveolar sacs Personal Breathing Zone Exposure KHenry = f(Vp/Solw) f(temp) Point Source

Modeling inhalation toxicology Exp(PBZ) = f([point source]*Vp(t)/sol) Dose = f([exposure]/(Vp*LogPo/w)) Toxicity = f([dose]*reactivity) if chemical reactivity = 1.0 toxicity = dose ……….=> “baseline toxicity”

Summary • Differential dosing along the airways • QSAR-based strategies for estimating risks is a two-component model: • Dose = f(Vp & LogPo/w) • John Morris - PBPK • Toxicity = f(chemical reactivity) • “baseline” v/ “excess/reactive” toxicities • Models for chemical reactivities (chemical domains) • Multiple molecular initiating events (biological) • Inhalation databases (mammalian) • UWS • Res.
