Abstract:
:Dichlorodi[U-14C]phenyltrichloroethane ( [14C]DDT), incubated with rat hepatic microsomes and NADPH, produced reactive intermediates which covalently bound to microsomal protein and lipids. In atmospheric oxygen, DDT bound to microsomal protein; however, binding was increased up to approximately 70% by oxygen depletion. Low levels of [14C]DDT binding to microsomal lipids occurred under atmospheric oxygen but, in contrast to protein binding, DDT-phospholipid binding was increased up to 20-fold by oxygen depletion. Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (DDD) was rapidly formed from DDT under anaerobic conditions, although when DDD was utilized as substrate, binding to microsomal protein occurred only in the presence of oxygen. Sodium dithionite, added to microsomes, produced [14C]DDT phospholipid and protein binding, and DDD formation, but failed to support DDD metabolism or binding. The data are consistent with the reductive formation of a DDT free-radical intermediate that led to the formation of DDD and that was bound preferentially to microsomal lipids.
