摘要:

AbstractThe embryotoxicity of phenol and twelve para‐substituted congeners on mid‐gestation rat embryos was evaluated in vitro. Through application of correlative procedures and stepwise regression, equations describing the relationship between physical‐chemical properties and various measures of activity were developed. Embryotoxicity was quantified by the log of the reciprocal of the potency estimates for reduction in selected growth parameters and induction of four morphological defects. In general, co‐cultured hepatocytes ameliorated embryotoxicity; only phenol‐induced embryotoxicity was enhanced by the presence of hepatocytes. In the absence of hepatocytes, measures of growth retardation were positively correlated with molar refractivity of the phenols. With hepatocytes, lipophilicity became important for describing the potential to induce growth deficits. The structural defects had varying correlation patterns in both culture systems. Potencies of these congeners in vitro were also compared to maternal and developmental potencies observed in vivo (Kavlock, Teratology,41:43–59, '90). Two of the congeners were very toxic in both systems. For the remaining congeners, one maternal toxicity measure was found to be positively correlated with embryotoxicity for growth and development in vitro without hepatocytes. With hepatocytes, a broad spectrum of correlations, both positive and negative, were observed between in vivo developmental toxicity endpoints and in vitro embryotoxicity. Data from preliminary dosimetry studies suggest that phenol congeners may accumulate in embryos exposed in vitro more readily than with in vivo exposure. Potency calculations based on dosimetry information may demonstrate better correlations between data and allow additional relationships between chemical structure and activity to b
