Epoxide Formation from Diallyl Sulfone Is Associated with CYP2E1 Inactivation in Murine and Human Lungs
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We tested the hypothesis that an epoxide formed from diallyl sulfone (DASO(2)) is responsible for inactivation of CYP2E1 in murine and human lungs. An epoxide (1,2-epoxypropyl-3,3'-sulfonyl-1'-propene [DASO(3)]) was synthesized from DASO(2) and conjugated with glutathione (GSH) to produce the conjugates S-(1R, S-[[1-hydroxymethyl-2,3' -sulfonyl]-1' -propenyl]ethyl)glutathione (diastereomers) and S-(1-[[2R,S-hydroxypropyl]-3, 3'-sulfonyl]-1'-propenyl)glutathione (diastereomers). Analysis of these conjugates by high performance liquid chromatography revealed a major peak eluting at 20.5 min. This peak was detected in incubations of murine and human lung microsomes containing DASO(2) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), and was not detected in incubations performed in the absence of DASO(2) or NADPH. The amounts of epoxide-derived GSH conjugates formed in the incubations were concentration-dependent and achieved saturation at 0.75 mM DASO(2). Formation of the conjugates was also time-dependent and peaked at 2.0 h after DASO(2). The peak containing the GSH conjugates was also detected in incubations of CYP2E1-expressed lymphoblastoid microsomes, NADPH, and DASO(2). Maximal amounts of DASO(3), as estimated by formation of a 4-(p-nitrobenzyl)pyridine derivatized product, were detected in murine lung microsomes incubated for 35 min with 1 mM DASO(2). The derivatized DASO(3) was not detectable in incubations of human lung microsomes. p-Nitrophenol hydroxylation, a catalytic activity associated with CYP2E1, was reduced in murine and human lung microsomes incubated with DASO(2), with decreases that were concentration-dependent. Dose-dependent decreases in hydroxylase activity were also found in microsomes from mice treated in vivo with DASO(2) (25 to 200 mg/kg). These results supported the premise that an epoxide formed from DASO(2) mediates inactivation of lung CYP2E1. Furthermore, the findings suggested that the mouse model is relevant for studies of DASO(2) in human lung.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
