In Vitro and In Vivo Metabolic Activation and Hepatotoxicity of Environmental Pollutant 2,6-Dimethylphenol.

2,6-Dimethylphenol (2,6-DMP) is an environmental pollutant found in industrial wastewater. Exposure to 2,6-DMP is of increasing concern as it endangered reportedly some aquatic animals. In this study, we investigated the metabolic activation and hepatotoxicity of 2,6-DMP. 2,6-DMP was metabolized to an o-quinone methide intermediate in vitro and in vivo. The electrophilic metabolite was reactive to the sulfhydryl groups of glutathione, N-acetyl cysteine, and cysteine. NADPH was required for the formation of the reactive metabolite. The quinone methide intermediate reacted with cysteine residues to form hepatic protein adduction. A single dose of 2,6-DMP induced marked elevation of serum ALT and AST in mice. Both the protein adduction and hepatotoxicity of 2,6-DMP showed dose dependency.
