unit 2 part 2 Flashcards
most prevalent target
Nucleic Acid (DNA), proteins, and membranes
All ___________ compounds are potential targets
endogenous
Enzymes responsible for production of reactive metabolites should be _________
controlled
Practically irreversible (permanent), common with electrophilic toxicants and to a lesser degree with neutral free radicals
Covalent Binding
includes hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and ionic bonding
NoncovalentBinding
Common in membrane and intracellular receptor, ion channels, and enzymes
NoncovalentBinding
common in neutral free radicals
Hydrogen Abstraction
Reactions include Hydrogen removal forming methylene (CH2) or Carbonyls (C=O), cross linking with DNA and other proteins
Hydrogen Abstraction
exchange of electrons, example oxidation of Ferrous to Ferric (methemoglobinemia)
Electron Transfer
only few toxin acts on this. Example include Diphtheria toxin - Elongation Factor 2
Enzymatic Reaction
Effects of Toxicant on Target Molecules
- Dysfunction of target molecules
- Destruction of Target Molecules
- NeoantigenFormation
Activation of protein target molecules
Mimicking endogenous ligand
Dysfunction of target molecules
Mimicking endogenous ligands may lead to
* Inhibition of __________
* Inhibition of __________
* Interfering with __________
* Alteration of__________
- Inhibition of neurotransmitter receptor or ion channels
- Inhibition of enzymes
- Interfering with cytoskeleton dynamics
- Alteration of protein conformation
Destruction of Target Molecules involves
Cross linking
Peroxidative degradation
DNA fragmentation
Covalent binding of xenobiotics to proteins may evoke an immune response
Neoantigen Formation
chemicals that bind to proteins spontaneously.
Dinitrochlorobenzene, penicillin, and nickel
Autooxidation to quinones
Neoantigen Formation
nzymatic biotransformations
Neoantigen Formation
Toxicity Not initiated by Reaction with Target Molecules (Alteration of the biologic microenvironment) includes
- Chemicals that alter Hydrogen ion concentration in the aqueous biophase
- Solvents and detergents that **alter the lipid phase **of cell membrane and destroying the solute gradient
- Xenobiotics that cause harm merely by occupying site or space.
(increase in cell number)
Hyperplasia
(increase in cell size)
Hypertrophy
(production of extracellular connective tissue)
Fibrosis
Toxic Alteration of Cellular Maintenance (Impairment of Internal Cellular Maintenance) Includes the following:
- Depletion of _____
- Sustained Rise of _____ _____ ion
- Overproduction of _____ and _____
- Depletion of ATP
- Sustained Rise of Intracellular Calcium ion
- Overproduction of ROS and RNS
plays an important role in cellular maintenance both for biosynthesis and source of energy
ATP
required for muscular contraction and polymerization of the cytoskeleton, grueling cellular motility, cell division, vesicular transport, and maintenance of cell morphology
ATP
drives ion transporters (ATPases) to maintain cell function
ATP
leads to accumulation of ADP and depletion of ATP
Impairment of Oxidative Phosphorylation
Inhibition of hydrogen delivery to the Electron Transport Chain
Class A
Inhibition of electron transporting acting on/as 1. Inhibitors of electron transport complexes
2. Electron Acceptors
Class B
Inhibition of oxygen delivery to the electron transport chain
Class C
Inhibitor of ADP phosphorylation acting on/as
Class D
Chemical causing Mitochondrial damage and/or impaired transcription of key mitochondrial proteins
Class E
