Survey of bisphenol A and bisphenol F in canned foods.

Bisphenol A (BPA) and bisphenol F (BPF) have been determined in a range of canned foods. Sixty-two different canned foods were purchased from retail outlets in the UK from January to November 2000 and the contents extracted and analysed by GC-MS for BPA and BPF isomers. The following canned products were analysed: fish in aqueous media, 10 samples; vegetables, 10; beverages, 11; soup, 10; desserts, five; fruit, two; infant formula, four; pasta, five; and meat products, five. BPF isomers were not detected in any of the canned foods with detection limits of 0.005 mg kg(-1) for the 2,2' and 2,4' isomers and 0.01 mg kg(-1) for the 4,4' isomer. BPA was detected in 38 samples with a detection limit of 0.002 mg kg(-1). Of these, BPA was quantified in 37 canned foods at levels from 0.007 mg kg(-1), with one sample of meat containing a mean level of 0.38 mg kg(-1). All other samples contained <0.07 mg kg(-1) BPA.

Synthesis and estrogenic activity of bisphenol a mono- and di-beta-D-glucopyranosides, plant metabolites of bisphenol A.

The syntheses and characterization of bisphenol A mono- and di-beta-D-glucopyranosides were undertaken to confirm that these compounds are major plant metabolities of bisphenol A (BPA) and to allow an assessment of their estrogenicity. Synthesis involved the glucosidation of unprotected BPA with glucose penta-acetate with phosphorus oxychloride as catalyst. The estrogenic activity of BPA and its mono- and di-beta-D-glucopyranosides were measured with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-based estrogen receptor competitive binding assay and with a yeast two-hybrid assay adapted to a chemiluminescent reporter gene (for beta-galactosidase). Both methods showed that the estrogenicity of BPA was eliminated by formation of the di-glucoside, but whereas the ELISA-based method indicated that reduced activity remained in the monoglucoside, the yeast two-hybrid method showed the monoglucoside to be inactive. Presumably these results reflect the more complex interactions of test compound and cellular components required to demonstrate estrogenicity in the yeast two-hybrid assay. As these processes parallel those in mammalian cells, the yeast two-hybrid method is likely to be the more realistic assay. The uptake and metabolism of BPA by plants offers the possibility of phytoremediation of contaminated water, but also provides an additional route for the compound to enter the human food chain.

Estrogenicity of bisphenol A and bisphenol A dimethacrylate in vitro.

Although pit and fissure sealants have been utilized extensively in dentistry as a way of preventing occlusal caries, results described by Olea et al. (1996) raised concerns about the safety of sealants and other resin-based dental materials due to the reported presence of bisphenol A (BPA) and its dimethacrylate ester (BPA-DM). Although the release of these compounds from dental materials has not been substantiated by two subsequent studies, we believed it was important to confirm or refute the report that BPA and BPA-DM have estrogenic activity in vitro. We grew breast cancer cells (MCF-7, T-47D, ZR-75-1) known to proliferate under estrogenic stimulation in phenol red-free DMEM containing human serum and concentrations of BPA or BPA-DM ranging from 10(-8)M to 5 x 10(-6)M. After 1 week, plates were harvested for crystal violet or sulforhodamine-B assays, and the optical densities of groups of treated cells were compared with values from control cells. At concentrations at or above 10(-6)M, both BPA and BPA-DM significantly increased cell proliferation (p < 0.05), comparable to the increase seen with 10(-9)M of estrogen. Flow cytometric methods demonstrated that these mitogenic effects occurred within 24 h of exposure to estrogen, BPA, or BPA-DM. The increase in DNA synthesis was analogous to that seen with estrogen stimulation. Thus, we confirmed that BPA and BPA-DM cause cell proliferation at micromolar concentrations that exceed the effective concentrations of estrogen by 1 to 10,000-fold.

Synthetic polymers adsorbing bisphenol A and its analogues prepared by covalent molecular imprinting using bisphenol A dimethacrylate as a template molecule.

Synthetic polymers which can adsorb bisphenol A (BPA) and related compounds were prepared by a covalent molecular imprinting technique. BPA dimethacrylate, used as template molecule, was polymerized with a crosslinker, triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) or trimethylol propane trimethacrylate (TRIM). After the polymerization treatment with dilute NaOH was used to cleave BPA from the polymers. For high recovery of BPA with low polymer matrix degradation, the hydrolysis conditions were determined to be treatment with 1.0 mol L(-1) NaOH for 48 h. The binding sites generated by the hydrolysis were evaluated by determination of the retentivity of BPA, BPA analogues, and other endocrine disruptors. The polymers strongly adsorbed compounds with two hydroxyl groups at the 4,4'-positions. Generally the TEGDMA-based polymers had stronger affinity than the TRIM-based polymers, although the TRIM-based polymer adsorbed steroidal hormones with two hydroxyl groups, for example 17 alpha-estradiol and 17 beta-estradiol, more strongly than the TEGDMA-based polymer, meaning that the crosslinkers affected the properties of the binding sites and, depending upon the target molecules, suitable crosslinkers should be chosen in this system.

Bisphenol A, an environmental endocrine-disrupting chemical, inhibits hypoxic response via degradation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha (HIF-1alpha): structural requirement of bisphenol A for degradation of HIF-1alpha.

Bisphenol A (BpA), an endocrine-disrupting chemical, is known to be a xenoestrogen and to affect the reproductive functions of animals. Recent reports have documented BpA-induced developmental abnormalities in the neuronal systems of humans and animals, and these effects appear to be non-estrogenic. In this study, we found that BpA inhibited the hypoxic response of human hepatoma cells. The expression of hypoxic response genes such as the erythropoietin (EPO) gene is done via a hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1)-dependent signaling pathway. To investigate possible structural requirements for this inhibitory effect, several BpA analogs were synthesized and added to this system. The blocking of two phenol groups in BpA did not change the effect, but the inhibition completely disappeared by the removal of two central methyl groups in BpA (the resulting compound is designated BpF). BpA, but not BpF, promoted degradation of the HIF-1alpha protein, which is a component of HIF-1, followed by inhibition of EPO induction. An immunoprecipitation assay indicated that BpA dissociated heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) from HIF-1alpha and destabilized HIF-1alpha protein. HIF-1alpha is usually degraded first by ubiquitination and then by the proteasome pathway. Cobalt ion inhibits ubiquitination of HIF-1alpha and stabilizes it. In the present study, BpA promoted HIF-1alpha degradation in the presence of cobalt and in the presence of proteasome inhibitor. These results suggest that BpA degraded HIF-1alpha via a currently unknown pathway, and that this phenomenon required two methyl groups in BpA.

Direct enrichment and high performance liquid chromatography analysis of ultra-trace Bisphenol A in water samples with narrowly dispersible Bisphenol A imprinted polymeric microspheres column.

Direct injection, enrichment and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of ultra-trace Bisphenol A (BPA) in water samples using one narrowly dispersible BPA imprinted polymeric microspheres (MIPM) column in one analysis process was developed. One BPA imprinted MIPM that had the best globular morphology and imprinted efficiency was used as HPLC stationary phase and applied to direct analysis of ultra-trace BPA in water. The optimum direct analysis conditions were: conditioning the MIPM column with water for 10min, injecting 40mL water sample directly, eluting with 70% methanol for 13min and then 100% methanol for 7min. Under the optimum conditions, the MIPM column can simultaneously extract, enrich, separate and determine ultra-trace BPA in one analysis process with UV detector by injection of large volume water samples (40mL). The calibration graph was linear with R(2)>0.998 in the ranges from 0.1-100nmol/L BPA standard solution. The intra- and inter-day RSD are less than 9.5 and 9.6%, respectively. The limit of quantification was 0.1nmol/L. RSD for spiked tap and lake water was less than 8.9% and the recoveries were 96-101.8%. The enrichment factor for BPA was 10,000 as 40mL water sample was directly injected and analyzed.

Alterations in steroid hormone production by porcine ovarian granulosa cells caused by bisphenol A and bisphenol A dimethacrylate.

We have investigated the effects of bisphenol A (BPA) and BPA-dimethacrylate (BPA-DMA), endocrine disruptors used as plasticizers, on steroid hormone production by porcine ovarian granulosa cells after 72 h incubation. BPA at 10(-8) M to 10(-5) M increased basal progesterone levels, while the same concentration range of BPA-DMA did not cause any changes. After FSH-stimulation of the cells, BPA-DMA showed a tendency to inhibit progesterone production. BPA, however, at 10(-7) M and 10(-6) M concentrations was even able to amplify FSH-stimulated progesterone synthesis. BPA as well as BPA-DMA inhibited FSH-induced estradiol production in the whole concentration range. LH-stimulated progesterone production was not altered by BPA in 10(-8) M to 10(-5) M, while BPA-DMA decreased progesterone levels in the cultured media. Significant inhibitory effect of both tested agents at 10(-4) M concentrations was observed specifically on progesterone production, basal as well as gonadotropin-stimulated. The results indicate that ovarian steroidogenesis might be one of the possible sites afflicted by the endocrine disrupting action of BPA and BPA-DMA.

Chlorination of bisphenol A in aqueous media: formation of chlorinated bisphenol A congeners and degradation to chlorinated phenolic compounds.

The chlorination of bisphenol A (BPA) in aqueous media was investigated in order to describe the degradation profile of this compound and the formation of chlorinated products. Aqueous solutions of BPA (approx. 1 mg/l) were chlorinated by sodium hypochlorite solution at room temperature and under weakly alkaline conditions. Chlorinated compounds were extracted with dichloromethane and determined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). BPA was consumed completely within 5 min of chlorination, when the initial chlorine concentration was 10.24 mg/l (molar ratio to BPA, 58.7). On the other hand, when the initial chlorine concentration was 1.03 mg/l (molar ratio, 6.56), 9.3% of BPA still remained after 60 min chlorination. Five chlorinated BPA congeners, 2-chlorobisphenol A (MCBPA), 2,6-dichlorobisphenol A (2,6-D2CBPA), 2,2'-dichlorobisphenol A (2,2'-D2CBPA), 2,2',6-trichlorobisphenol A (T3CBPA) and 2,2', 6,6'-tetrachlorobisphenol A (T4CBPA) were formed in the earlier stages of chlorination. Several chlorinated phenolic compounds, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (T3CP), 2,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone (D2CBQ), 2,6-dichloro-1,4-hydroquinone (D2CHQ), C9H10Cl2O2, C9H8Cl2O and C10H12Cl2O2, were also formed by further chlorination.

In vitro and in vivo interactions of bisphenol A and its metabolite, bisphenol A glucuronide, with estrogen receptors alpha and beta.

The estrogenic activities of bisphenol A (BPA) and its major metabolite BPA glucuronide (BPA-G) were assessed in a number of in vitro and in vivo assays. BPA competed with [3H]-17beta-estradiol (E2) for binding to mouse uterine cytosol ER, a glutathione S-transferase (GST)-human ER D, E, and F domain fusion protein (GST-hERalphadef) and full-length recombinant hERbeta. The IC(50) values for E2 were similar for all three receptor preparations, whereas BPA competed more effectively for binding to hERbeta (0.96 microM) than to either mouse uterine cytosol ER (26 microM) or GST-hERalphadef (36 microM). In contrast, BPA-G did not competitively displace [3H]E2 from any of the ER preparations. In MCF-7 cells transiently transfected with Gal4-hERalphadef or Gal4-hERbetadef, BPA induced reporter gene activity with comparable EC(50) values (71 and 39 microM, respectively). No significant induction of reporter gene activity was seen for BPA-G. Cotreatment studies showed that concentrations of (10 microM) BPA and BPA-G did not antagonize E2-induced luciferase mediated through either Gal4-hERalphadef or Gal4-hERbetadef. In vivo, the uterotropic effect of gavage or subcutaneous (sc) administration of 0.002-800 mg of BPA/kg of body weight/day for three consecutive days was examined in immature rats. Dose-related estrogenic effects on the rat uterus were observed at oral doses of 200 and 800 mg/kg and at sc doses of 10, 100, and 800 mg/kg. These results demonstrate that BPA competes more effectively for binding to ERbeta, but induces ERalpha- and ERbeta-mediated gene expression with comparable efficacy. In contrast, BPA-G did not exhibit any in vitro estrogenic activity. In addition, there was a clear route dependency on the ability of BPA to induce estrogenic responses in vivo.

Induction of reactive oxygen species by bisphenol A and abrogation of bisphenol A-induced cell injury by DJ-1.

DJ-1 was first identified as an activated ras-dependent oncogene. DJ-1 is related to male fertility, and its expression in sperm decreases in response to exposure to a number of reproductive toxicants. DJ-1 has been associated with the onset of familial Parkinson's disease (PD) in humans, and has been found to have activity against oxidative damage by eliminating reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this study, we investigated the role of DJ-1 in oxidative stresses by administration of bisphenol A (BPA), which has been reported to induce oxidative stress in rodents, to male mice and cultured cells. In male mice, we found that BPA significantly increased the expression level of DJ-1 in the sperm and brain. In cultured Neuro2a and GC1 cells, we found that BPA induced ROS production and significantly compromised mitochondrial function concomitant with elevated expression and oxidization of DJ-1. DJ-1 was found to maintain the complex I activity against BPA-induced oxidative stress after the localization in mitochondria. The results showed that DJ-1 plays a role in the prevention of mitochondrial injury-induced cell death.

Quantitation of bisphenol A and bisphenol A glucuronide in biological samples by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a weak estrogen. Pharmacokinetic studies of BPA have demonstrated a rapid and extensive metabolism of BPA to the nonestrogenic BPA-monoglucuronide (BPA-gluc). Some investigators have reported that BPA was found at parts per billion concentrations in the tissues or urine of humans without known exposure to BPA. This work developed a rapid and sensitive method for the determination of BPA and BPA-gluc in plasma and urine based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry method for quantitation of BPA and BPA-gluc uses stable isotope-labeled internal standards. A linear ion trap mass spectrometer permits identification and quantitation of BPA-gluc and BPA without sample workup. Development of separation conditions reduced the BPA-background in solvent samples to below 2.5 pmol/ml for BPA. Limit of quantitation (LOQ) for BPA in control urine was 15 pmol/ml; LOQ for BPA-gluc was 65 pmol/ml. Application of the method to urine samples from human subjects (n = 6) after administration of 25 microg of BPA/person (estimated maximum human daily intake) permitted the determination of excretion kinetics for BPA-gluc; BPA was below the LOD in all except two of the samples. In urine or blood samples of human subjects (n = 19) without intentional exposure to BPA, BPA concentrations were always below the limit of detection ( approximately 2.5 pmol/ml) with or without prior glucuronidase treatment. The results show that care is required for analysis of BPA and its major metabolite BPA-gluc. The LOD obtained and the absence of detectable levels of BPA in samples from individuals suggests that general exposure of humans to BPA is much lower than the worst-case exposure scenario developed.

Cross-reactivity among epoxy acrylates and bisphenol F epoxy resins in patients with bisphenol A epoxy resin sensitivity.

OBJECTIVE: The study's objective was 2-fold: first, to evaluate the potential cross-reactivity between Bis-A epoxy resins and epoxy acrylates and second, to study the cross reactivity between Bis-A epoxy resins and newer Bis-F epoxy resins in patients with allergic contact dermatitis to epoxy resins and had positive patch test to the standard epoxy resin based on bisphenol A. METHODS: Forty-one patients were patch tested to 23 chemicals including epoxy acrylates, Bis-A epoxy resins, and Bis-F epoxy resins, as well as reactive diluents and nonbisphenol epoxy resins. Questions concerning exposure to epoxy resins, occupational history, and problems with dental work were completed. RESULTS: All patients included in the study had positive reactions to the standard Bis-A epoxy resin. Twenty percent (8 of 41) of the patients reacted to at least one of the epoxy acrylates; the most common reaction was to Bis-GMA. Five of 8 patients who reacted to the epoxy acrylates had dental work, but only one patient had problems from her dental work. Six of 8 patients (75%) who reacted to epoxy resins and epoxy acrylates did not react to aliphatic acrylates. Thirty-two percent (13 of 41) reacted to tosylamide epoxy resin, and none reacted to triglycidyl isocyanurate resin. In addition, all patients (100%) had positive reactions to at least one of the Bis-F epoxy resins that were tested. CONCLUSIONS: Most patients with sensitivity to Bis-A epoxy resins do not cross-react with epoxy acrylates. Patients with positive patch test reactions to epoxy acrylates used in dentistry usually do not have symptoms from their dental work. To our knowledge, this is the largest series of patients with sensitivity to the standard Bis-A epoxy resin that have been patch tested with the more recently introduced Bis-F epoxy resins. There is significant cross-reactivity between Bis-A and Bis-F epoxy resins, which can be explained by their structural similarity.

The effect of bisphenol A and chlorinated derivatives of bisphenol A on the level of serum vitellogenin in Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes).

2,2-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) propane or Bisphenol A (BPA), has been reported to behave as an endocrine disrupter below acute toxic levels, and is widely present in the water environment. Although BPA is easily chlorinated, very little is reported on the effect of chlorinated BPA to the aquatic organisms. In this study, the estrogenic activities of BPA and its chlorinated derivatives were evaluated by the induction of vitellogenin (VTG) in the serum of mature male Japanese medaka. In addition, the effect of sodium hypochlorite on the decomposition of BPA was tested. The relative potencies of estrogenic activities of chlorinated BPA descended in the order 3,3'-diCIBPA>BPA> or =3-CIBPA>3,3',5-triCIBPA, and no estrogenic activity was observed in 3,3',5,5'-tetraCIBPA. Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC) and No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) for both 3-CIBPA and 3,3'-diCIBPA were 500 microg/L and 200 microg/L, respectively. LOEC for 3,3',5-triCIBPA was >500 microg/L. When BPA was reacted with sodium hypochlorite (24 hours; residual chlorine at 1 ppm), however, complete decomposition of BPA and its chlorinated derivatives was observed. The decrease in BPA and its chlorinated derivatives paralleled the decrease in estrogenic potency evaluated by the induction of vitellogenin (VTG) in the serum of mature male Japanese medaka.

Novel pathway for bacterial metabolism of bisphenol A. Rearrangements and stilbene cleavage in bisphenol A metabolism.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is metabolized by a Gram-negative aerobic bacterium via a novel pathway involving oxidative skeletal rearrangement of the BPA. Oxidation of the aliphatic methyl group of BPA leads to coproduction of the methyl-hyroxylated 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-propanol and a skeletally rearranged triol 1,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-propanol. The major route of metabolism (> 80%) is through the rearrangement. The 1,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-propanol is dehydrated to 4,4'-dihydroxy-alpha-methylstilbene, which is rapidly cleaved by oxidation to 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 4-hydroxyacetophenone. 4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde is oxidized to 4-hydroxybenzoic acid. Both 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and 4-hydroxyacetophenone are mineralized. The minor product of BPA hydroxylation, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-propanol, is further oxidized to form both 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid and a skeletally rearranged tetraol, 2,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2-propanediol. As is the case in the hydroxylation of BPA, the major product is skeletally rearranged. 2,3-Bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2-propanediol is slowly transformed to 4-hydroxyphenacyl alcohol.

Alkenylidene bisphenols, a new class of bisphenol bactericide.

Alkenylidene bisphenols are prepared by condensation of an appropriate phenol with a haloacetaldehyde, followed by base-induced elimination, or by condensation of the corresponding aryl methyl ether, elimination, and deprotection of the phenol with boron tribromide. The resulting compounds may be further elaborated by reactions on the aromatic nucleus. A series of 13 such compounds showed activity against Staphylococcus aureus; the most active was 1,1-dichloro-2-(3-allyl-5-chloro-2-hydroxphenyl)-2-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)ethylene (16), MIC 0.16 microgram/mL. 1,1-Dichloro-2,2-bis(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)ethylene (6) was similar in its activity and spectrum to hexachlorophene.

Chlorohydrins of bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE) and of bisphenol F diglycidyl ether (BFDGE) in canned foods and ready-to-drink coffees from the Japanese market.

BADGE.2HCl and BFDGE.2HCl were determined in 28 samples of ready-to-drink canned coffee and 18 samples of canned vegetables (10 corn, 5 tomatoes and 3 others), all from the Japanese market. HPLC was used as the principal analytical method and GC-MS for confirmation of relevant LC fractions. BADGE.2HCl was found to be present in one canned coffee and five samples of corn, BFDGE.2HCl in four samples of canned tomatoes and in one canned corn. No sample was found which exceeded the 1 mg/kg limit of the EU for the BADGE chlorohydrins. However the highest concentration was found for the sum of BFDGE.2HCl anti BFDGE.HCl.H2O at a level of 1.5 mg/kg. A Beilstein test confirmed that all cans containing foods contaminated with BADGE.2HCl or BFDGE.2HCl had at lest one part coated with a PVC organosol.

Metabolism and kinetics of bisphenol a in humans at low doses following oral administration.

Bisphenol A is a widely used industrial chemical with many potential sources of human exposure. Bisphenol A is a weak estrogen and has been implicated as an "endocrine disruptor". This term is used for a variety of chemicals encountered in the environment which have estrogenic activity. It has been postulated that human exposure to these chemicals may elicit unwanted estrogenic effects in humans such as reduced fertility, altered development and cancer. Up to now the body burden of bisphenol A in humans is unknown. Therefore, we investigated the metabolism and toxicokinetics of bisphenol A in humans exposed to low doses since systemic bioavailability has a major influence on possible estrogenic effects in vivo. Human subjects (three males and three females, and four males for detailed description of blood kinetics) were administered d(16)-bisphenol A (5 mg). Blood and urine samples were taken in intervals (up to 96 h), metabolites formed were identified by GC/MS and LC-MS/MS and quantified by GC/MS-NCI and LC-MS/MS. d(16)-Bisphenol A glucuronide was the only metabolite of d(16)-bisphenol A detected in urine and blood samples, and concentrations of free d(16)-bisphenol A were below the limit of detection both in urine (6 nM) and blood samples (10 nM). d(16)-Bisphenol A glucuronide was cleared from human blood and excreted with urine with terminal half-lives of less than 6 h; the applied doses were completely recovered in urine as d(16)-bisphenol A glucuronide. Maximum blood levels of d(16)-bisphenol A glucuronide (approximately 800 nM) were measured 80 min after oral administration of d(16)-bisphenol A (5 mg). The obtained data indicate major species differences in the disposition of bisphenol A. Enterohepatic circulation of bisphenol A glucuronide in rats results in a slow rate of excretion, whereas bisphenol A is rapidly conjugated and excreted by humans due to the absence of enterohepatic circulation. The efficient glucuronidation of bisphenol A and the rapid excretion of the formed glucuronide result in a low body burden of the estrogenic bisphenol A in humans following oral absorption of low doses.
