Decomposition of xenobiotics in wastewater treatment
PublikacjaCiecze jonowe ze względu na rozpuszczalność w wodzie mogą przyczynić się do jej zanieczyszczenia. Możliwość ich biodegradacji nie jest dokładnie zbadana. W niniejszej pracy podjęto próbę sprawdzenie, jak na proces biodegradacji cieczy jonowych wpłynie obecność innych, łatwiej dostępnych dla osadu czynnego, źródeł węgla i azotu. Ponadto podjęto próbę ustalenia górnej granicy stężeń dla biodegradowalności chlorku 1-metylo-3-oktyloimidazolu

Recent advances in assessing xenobiotics migrating from packaging material – A review
PublikacjaMigration of potentially toxic xenobiotics and their transformation products from packaging materials needs continuous monitoring efforts. This task requires utilizing both instrumental and biological methods as more and more novel materials reach market every year to serve consumers and reduce production costs. Unfortunately, these materials very often sneak past our legal regulations on their composition and emission of contaminants...

Cytochromes P-450: specyfic enzymes involved in metabolism of endogenous substances and xenobiotics
PublikacjaCytochromy P-450 to grupa enzymów hemoproteinowych występujących w prawie wszystkich organizmach żywych. Substratami tych enzymów są zarówno substancje endogenne jak i ksenobiotyki, włączając w to leki, dodatki do żywności oraz zanieczyszczenia środowiska. W pracy omówiono rolę polimorfizmu oraz indukcji P-450 w metabolizmie leków przeciwnowotworowych.

Assessment of cytotoxic and endocrine potential of selected xenobiotics commonly present in food products
PublikacjaMore and more increased intensity of anthropopressure processes can be observed, among other things, in the release of great quantities of synthetic substances into the environment, including the Endocrine Disrupting Compounds (EDC). A vast number of chemical substances is considered to belong to the this group, including substances which occur naturally in the environment, such as mycotoxins and phytoestrogens, and substances...

Phase I and phase II metabolism simulation of antitumor-active 2-hydroxyacridinone with electrochemistry coupled on-line with mass spectrometry.
PublikacjaHere, we report the metabolic profile and the results of associated metabolic studies of 2-hydroxyacridinone (2-OH-AC), the reference compound for antitumor-active imidazo- and triazoloacridinones. Electrochemistry coupled with mass spectrometry was applied to simulate the general oxidative metabolism of 2-OH-AC for the first time. The reactivity of 2-OH-AC products to biomolecules was also examined. The usefulness of the electrochemistry...

Mechanism-based inactivation of human cytochrome P450 1A2 and 3A4 isoenzymes by antitumor triazoloacridinone C-1305.
Publikacja5-Dimethylaminopropylamino-8-hydroxytriazoloacridinone, C-1305, is a promising antitumor therapeutic agent with high activity against several experimental tumors. It was determined to be a potent and selective inhibitor of liver microsomal and human recombinant cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2 and 3A4 isoenzymes. Therefore, C-1305 might modulate the effectiveness of other drugs used in multidrug therapy. The objective of this study was...

Flavin monooxygenases, FMO1 and FMO3, not cytochrome p450 isoenzymes, contribute to metabolism of anti-tumour triazoloacridinone, C-1305, in liver microsomes and HepG2 cells.
PublikacjaCelem pracy było określenie roli wybranych enzymów frakcji mikrosomalnej komórek wątroby w metabolizmie pochodnej triazoloakrydonu, związku C-1305. Wykazano, że badana pochodna ulega transformacji wobec frakcji enzymów izolowanych z hepatocytów szczurzych i ludzkich oraz jest metabolizowana przez komórki linii HepG2. Badania wykazały ponadto, że enzymami odpowiedzialnymi za obserwowane przemiany były monooksygenazy flawinowe, FMO1...

Birds' feathers – Suitable samples for determination of environmental pollutants
PublikacjaThe intensive development of industry and human population results in large amounts of different xenobiotic emitted into individual ecosystem components. As a consequence, monitoring of the level of pollution of particular elements of the environment by exotoxins has become a common interest. The determination of environmental changes by different types of biological indicators is called bioindication, which is used as one of the...

Contaminants in airport runoff water
PublikacjaDespite the many positives ensuing from the rapid expansion of the air transport sector, airport operations as a whole are a substantial source of environmental pollution.Increases in aviation developments have serious consequences on the surrounding air, soil and water bodies like lakes, rivers and ground water. The present work deals with the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls...

New generation of analytical tests based on the assessment of enzymatic and nuclear receptor activity changes induced by environmental pollutants
PublikacjaAnalytical methods show great potential in biological tests. The analysis of biological response that results from environmental pollutant exposure allows: (i) prediction of the risk of toxic effects and (ii) provision of the background for the development of markers of the toxicants presence. Bioanalytical tests based on changes in enzymatic activity and nuclear receptor action provide extremely high specificity and sensitivity....

Glutathione-mediated conjugation of anticancer drugs: an overview of reaction mechanisms and biological significance for drug detoxification and bioactivation.
PublikacjaThe effectiveness of many anticancer drugs depends on the creation of specific metabolites that may alter their therapeutic or toxic properties. One significant route of biotransformation is a conjugation of electrophilic compounds with reduced glutathione, which can be non-enzymatic and/or catalyzed by glutathione-dependent enzymes. Glutathione usually combines with anticancer drugs and/or their metabolites to form more polar...
