15种取代酚对淡水发光菌Q67的毒性及定量构效分析

为了更加准确和便捷地预测各种取代酚类化合物的急性毒性,以淡水发光菌Q67(Vibrio qinghaiensis sp.-Q67)为受试生物,测定了15种典型取代酚的急性毒性;采用logD(正辛醇/水分配系数),LUMO(分子最低空轨道能)和MW(分子量)等取代酚的7种主要结构参数,利用偏最小二乘回归法建立了定量结构-活性相关(quantitative structure-activity relationships,QSAR)模型。结果表明,15种取代酚的EC_(50)在5.76×10~(-6)～1.27×10~(-3)mol·L~(-1)之间,且有很好的剂量-效应关系;QSAR模型的主成分分析显示,-logEC_(50)与logD、LUMO和MW值正相关,且logD对模型的贡献最大,即越容易与Q67菌结合的酚类化合物对其的急性毒性越大;建立的QSAR模型具有较好的预测能力(Q~2_(EXT)=0.91,RMSE=0.49)和较高的稳定性(Q~2_(CUM)=0.58),能够用于预测其他酚类化合物对Q67菌的急性毒性。     

基于形态修正的描述符构建可电离化合物对大型溞急性毒性的QSAR模型

在环境水体中,可电离有机化合物(IOCs)可解离为分子和离子形态。研究表明,IOCs离子形态的环境行为、毒性效应等都与其分子形态存在较大差异,因而在研究IOCs环境行为、毒性效应时不应忽略离子化的影响。在构建IOCs相关预测模型时如何表征离子化的影响是当前研究的重要内容之一。探讨了采用基于形态修正的描述符构建IOCs水生毒性预测模型的可行性。具体而言,采用逐步多元线性回归(MLR)方法,构建了可预测63种取代酚、取代苯甲酸和取代苯胺等IOCs对大型溞急性毒性的定量结构-活性关系(QSAR)模型。与仅采用分子形态描述符的模型相比,使用基于形态修正描述符的模型决定系数(R2)、去一法交叉验证系数(Q2LOO)、外部验证系数(Q2EXT)等参数从0.622～0.705提高到了0.840～0.875,表明基于形态修正描述符的模型具有更好的拟合优度、稳健性和预测能力。因此,在将来的研究中,可采用基于形态修正的描述符构建IOCs水生毒性效应预测模型。     

Causative species of diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP) in Norway

This study was performed at Vikane in the Sognefjord, Norway, from September 1987 to October 1988 on the blue musselMytilus edulis collected monthly at three different depths (3 to 6, 6 to 8 and 8 to 12 m). Cell numbers of three species ofDinophysis from mussel digestive glands and in seawater were counted for each specimen. Multivariable statistical methods were used to detect annual cycles of phytoplankton abundance in the fjord and to examine the contribution of each species to toxification of mussels. Cluster analysis and principal component analysis indicated the following results: (1) an annual cycle and an inter-specific association of threeDinophysis species populations were pointed out.D. acuta andD. norvegica were well associated over the entire period of this study, and exhibited an autumnal peak.D. acuminata was dissociated from these species and reached its maximum abundance between spring and early summer. (2) The threeDinophysis species induced toxicity in the blue mussels in different manners.D. acuta andD. norvegica were responsible for high autumnal toxicity, andD. acuminata for the spring peak. (3) A long persistence of diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP) in blue mussels (from April to February), and a depth gradient of toxicity were observed — the toxicity value in the upper layer being double those of other depths.     

低浓度下4个取代苯污染物与硝酸铅的混合对发光菌的联合毒性

多种污染物混合特别是低浓度下的混合对生物的联合毒性是生态毒理学研究的热点之一。选择了3类污染物苯酚、间甲基苯酚、苯胺、对硝基苯胺、硝酸铅，采用美国微板光度计测定了它们对发光菌青海弧菌．Q67（Vibrio-qinghaiensissp-Q67）的单一及联合毒性。应用非线性拟合技术模拟了这5种物质及其混合物的剂量．效应曲线，硝酸铅可用Logit模型模拟，其它4个物质能用Weibull模型准确描述，所有拟合相关系数在0．98以上，均方根误差在O．02以下。根据纯物质的EC50值，获得这5个物质的毒性强弱顺序：硝酸铅〉对硝基苯胺〉间甲基苯酚〉苯酚〉苯胺。混合实验设计了各物质在EC50、EC1、无观察效应浓度（noobserved effectcon centration，NOEC）比例的混合。用浓度加和（doseaddition，DA）和独立作用模型（independentaction，IA）对混合物毒性进行预测。IA基本准确预测了这5个物质在各自EC50混合的毒性。DA与队模型都稍微过高地预测了以EC。及NOEC浓度比例混合的联合毒性，但都在毒理学实验容许的范围之内。这5个物质以NOEC混合时对测试生物Q67没有产生明显毒性，但是还不能判定这些物质在此浓度下混合是安全的。污染物在各自的NOEC浓度下混合是否对其它生物有潜在的威胁还需更多毒理学实验支持。     

碳纳米管影响无机砷(As(III)和As(V))对大型蚤毒性的研究：特定砷形态的作用

作为一种新兴的纳米材料,羟基多壁碳纳米管(OH-MWCNTs)可能与其他污染物在水环境中共存,并进一步影响它们的毒性、输移和归趋。因此,评价碳纳米管存在下砷的毒性变化需要得到更多的关注。该试验探索了在不同pH值条件下,OH-MWCNTs诱导砷(As(III)和As(V))对水生生物大型蚤的毒性变化的潜在机制。发现了H₂AsO₃^-和H₂AsO₄^-是对大型蚤毒性最大的As(III)和As(V)。比较As(III)和As(V)的结果,发现pH值是影响砷毒性最重要的因素。此外,OH-MWCNTs影响砷对大型蚤毒性的结果表明,OH-MWCNTs的存在可以提高砷的毒性。通过吸附实验进一步研究了砷与OH-MWCNTs的相互作用。OH-MWCNTs 对As(V)吸附容量高于As(III)。总而言之, OH-MWCNTs对某些形态砷的吸附是解释砷毒性增强的可靠证据。

Individual and combined toxicity of some petroleum aromatics to the marine amphipod Elasmopus pectenicrus

Toxicity of 4 components of petroleum oils to the marine amphipod Elasmopus pectenicrus (Bate) has been assessed. Two ephemeral aromatic hydrocarbons, naphthalene (A) and 1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene (B) were more toxic than two persistent aromatics, o-cresol (C) and o-toluidine (D). The acute toxicity concentrations obtained for individual aromatic compounds were always greater than the actual concentrations found in the water-soluble fractions (WSF) of fuel oils. Results from mixtures of 2 or more components indicated that the LC₅₀ levels were primarily determined by the more toxic substances, A and B. Naphthalene and 1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene became more toxic to the E. pectenicrus when present in a mixture of more than 2 components, and the toxicity increased with increasing numbers of components present. Synergistic effects, therefore, possibly occur in the whole WSF. No antagonistic effects were observed among the 4 petroleum aromatics.University of Texas, Marine Science Institute Contribution No. 290

Comparative quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) study on acute toxicity of triazole fungicides to zebrafish

We employed two-dimensional quantitative structure–activity relationship (2D-QSAR) and hologram QSAR (HQSAR) methods to quantitatively investigate the mechanism and active site of toxicity for Danio rerio exposed to triazole fungicides. Our results showed that 2D-QSAR models constructed using the energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbit, the net C atom charges, the octanol–water partition coefficient and the molecular shape factor had higher predictive abilities. HQSAR models containing the fragment distinctions atoms (As), bonds (Bs), chirality (Ch) and donors and acceptors (D&A) had higher reliability. It was found that 2D-QSAR results explaining the toxicity mechanism were consistent with HQSAR. In summary, the hydrophobicity and shape/size of the molecule were the important factors influencing the toxic effect of these chemicals against D. rerio. In addition, electron exchange may occur between these fungicides and the target. The study provided a method to evaluate the environmental risk of chemicals with a similar structure, based on the QSAR models obtained.

Effects of perfluorooctane sulfonate on behavioural activity,regeneration and antioxidant enzymes in planarian Dugesia japonica

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a persistent organic pollutant and has been found to be the predominant perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) in the environment. In the present study, planarian Dugesia japonica is employed to investigate the toxicity of this compound. The behavioural activity, survival, regeneration and antioxidant enzyme activities of the D. japonica exposed to PFOS were investigated. The results showed that the planarian D. japonica is very sensitive to low concentration pollutants including PFOS and suitable for toxicological bioassays. PFOS has severe toxicity in inducing oxidative stress, regeneration and development toxicity in planarians. The toxicity is indicated by reduced planarian locomotor velocity (pLMV), reduced appearance of auricles in regenerating animals, changed in antioxidant enzyme SOD and CAT activities. The information presented in this study will help elucidating the PFOS-induced toxicity in aquatic organisms.     

5种酚类物质对中国白羽鹌鹑和中华蜜蜂的急性毒性

酚类物质作为一类主要的污染物,已引起国内外高度重视,但目前其对陆生生物的毒性研究较少。本试验探究了4-叔丁基苯酚、间甲酚、2-氯苯酚、2-甲酚、2,4-二氯苯酚这5种酚类物质对中国本土物种中国白羽鹌鹑和中华蜜蜂的急性毒性。在中国白羽鹌鹑的急性经口试验中,2-氯苯酚、2-甲酚的7 d的半致死浓度(7 d-LC50)分别为331 mg·kg~(-1)和413 mg·kg~(-1),其他3种酚类物质的7 d-LC50均大于限度值1 000 mg·kg~(-1);在中国白羽鹌鹑的急性饲喂试验中,5种酚类物质的8 d-LC50均大于限度值2 000 mg·kg~(-1);在中华蜜蜂的急性经口试验中,2-氯苯酚、2-甲酚和2,4-二氯苯酚的48 h-LC50分别为306 mg·L~(-1)、358 mg·L~(-1)和364 mg·L~(-1);在中华蜜蜂的急性接触试验中,2,4-二氯苯酚的48 h的半致死量(48 h-LD50)为2.6μg·蜂~(-1),其他4种酚类物质的48h-LD50均大于限度值100μg·蜂~(-1)。研究结果表明不同的酚类物质由于其结构不同亦表现出不同的毒性,甲酚的邻位取代比间位取代对中国白羽鹌鹑和中华蜜蜂的毒性更高,不同物种表现出了相似的规律性。5种酚类物质对我国本土物种中国白羽鹌鹑和中华蜜蜂毒性比对其他水生生物更敏感,存在良好的剂量效应关系。     

可离子化有机污染物对大型溞的毒性及QSAR研究

取代苯酚、苯胺和苯甲酸类化合物是在环境水体中具有较强生物毒性的芳香族可离子化有机化合物,它们在水体中对水生生物和水生生态系统都有较大危害。测定此类化合物在p H值为6、7.8和9的条件下对大型溞的24 h急性毒性,计算化合物在不同p H值条件下的中性态分子所占比例F0。研究毒性与F0的相关性,结果表明F0对取代苯酚和苯甲酸类化合物的毒性的影响较大而对取代苯胺毒性的影响很小。对于卤代苯甲酸类化合物,毒性与疏水性的相关性较好,但是羟基苯甲酸类化合物的毒性与疏水性参数的相关性很差,引入量子化学参数EHOMO和取代羟基个数NOH,可以改进苯甲酸类化合物的模型的质量。

有机磷酸酯对青海弧菌Q67毒性的构效关系

以淡水发光菌Q67为受试生物,结合微孔板高通量检测技术,测定了15种常见有机磷酸酯的毒性,同时选用极化率(P)、分子表面积(TSA)、正辛醇/水分配系数(logD)和芳香环个数(N Ar)等有机磷酸酯的7种分子结构描述符,采用偏最小二乘回归分析方法建立了15种有机磷酸酯对Q67发光菌毒性的定量结构活性相关(quantitative structure-activity relationships,QSAR)模型。结果表明,15种有机磷酸酯的EC50在1.13×10-5~3.27×10-3mol·L-1之间。在7个结构变量中,4个变量发挥主要作用。其中分子极化率(P)在有机磷酸酯类污染物对发光菌的急性毒性中发挥重要作用,推断发光菌中的荧光素酶及其辅酶是其主要作用位点;脂溶性(logD)越大的化合物越较易穿过细胞膜,进而使Q67发光菌的毒性效应增大;芳香环数(N Ar)越多,有机磷酸酯对发光菌的急性毒性越大;对分子结构类似的有机磷酸酯,其Q67发光菌的毒性效应随TSA值的增大而增强。利用所构建的构效关系模型,其稳定性(Q2CUM=0.544)和预测能力(Q2EXT=0.808,RMSE=0.195)较好,可用来预测有机磷酸酯对Q67发光菌的急性效应。     

Acute/chronic ratios to estimate chronic toxicity from acute data

Acute toxicity of 25 narcotic compounds to D. magna was determined in this paper. Acute/ Chronic Ratios (ACRs), which are often used to estimate chronic toxicity from acute toxicity data, are discussed based on Quantitative Structure‐Activity Relationships (QSARs) of the compounds between both acute and chronic toxicity data and n‐octanol/water partition coefficients, and an improved equation is derived to estimate chronic toxicity data from acute toxicity data. Application of the improved equation and ACRs is illustrated for D. magna and fathead minnow to estimate chronic toxicity from acute toxicity.
