The agricultural fungicide N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)succinimide (NDPS) is an acute nephrotoxicant in rats. Our previous studies suggested that sulfate conjugation of NDPS metabolites might be a bioactivation step mediating NDPS nephrotoxicity. In this study, effects of substrates and/or inhibitors of sulfation on
2,6-Dichloro-4-nitrophenol (DCNP)-35sulfate was identified and quantified by an HPLC-radiometric assay following its biosynthesis in vitro from 35S-labeled 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAP35S) by phenolsulfotransferase (PST) of rat liver cytosol. Acid hydrolysis of DCNP-35sulfate produced almost stoichiometric release of inorganic 35sulfate and DCNP. In

Human scalp skin high speed supernatants were used to test whether minoxidil sulfotransferase (MNX-ST) and phenol sulfotransferase (PST) activities were present. Platelet homogenates from the same skin donors were used to test whether levels of sulfotransferase activities in the blood

In primary human and porcine hepatocyte cultures, we investigated the relationship between metabolism and cytotoxicity of troglitazone. Treatment of human hepatocytes for 2 h with 10, 20, 25, 35, and 50 microM troglitazone in protein-free medium resulted in concentration-dependent decreases
The sulfotransferase inhibitors 2,6-dichloro-4-nitrophenol and pentachlorophenol were used to investigate the role of sulfate ester formation during the in vivo bioactivation of 2,4- and 2,6-dinitrotoluene (DNT). Male F-344 rats were administered one of the sulfotransferase inhibitors (40 mu mol/kg i.p.)
