2006) concludes that pending the evaluation of a number of additional structural hypotheses, such as enterohepatic recirculation, plasma binding, and flow--or diffusion-limited treatment of tissue distribution, rigorous application of PBPK modeling to risk assessment appears feasible at least for TCE and its major oxidative metabolites, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and trichloroethanol.
Subsequent important metabolic branch points include the production of trichloroethanol (TCOH) and trichloroacetic acid (TCA) from CHL/CH; the production of TCOH glucuronide (TCOG) and regeneration of CHL/CH from TCOH, and the N-acetylation versus bioactivation of S-dichlorovinyl-L-cysteine (DCVC).
Recent studies of trichloroethanol exploring an alternative hypothesis for kidney tumorigenesis have failed to establish the formation of formate as a key event for TCE-induced kidney tumors.
