<i>In Vitro</i> Metabolism of the Flame Retardant Triphenyl Phosphate in Chicken Embryonic Hepatocytes and the Importance of the Hydroxylation Pathway
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We report for the first time either in vitro or in vivo the phase I hydroxylation and phase II conjugation metabolic pathways of an organophosphate flame retardant, triphenyl phosphate (TPHP), in addition to diphenyl phosphate (DPHP) metabolite formation. Using a chicken embryonic hepatocyte (CEH) assay, TPHP was phase I metabolized to p - and m -hydroxy-TPHP metabolites, which were largely present in the assay medium and cells as phase II conjugates with glucuronic acid. After treatment with β-glucuronidase, deconjugated p -OH-TPHP was present in both the medium and cells at increasing concentrations of 0.073 ± 0.003, 1.95 ± 0.03, and 2.10 ± 0.09 nmol/well at CEH incubation time points of 0, 12, and 36 h, respectively. Similarly, after β-glucuronidase treatment, there were increasing m -OH-TPHP concentrations of 0.0050 ± 0.0005, 0.18 ± 0.01, and 0.18 ± 0.01 nmol/well. p -OH-TPHP at 36 h accounted for 60% of the initial TPHP treatment concentration, which was 3.5- or 12-fold greater than that of the DPHP or m -OH-TPHP metabolites, respectively. Overall, in TPHP-exposed organisms, this study demonstrates the importance of phase I and II metabolic processes in the biological fate of TPHP.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
