摘要

Vinyl acetate is used in the manufacture of many polymers. The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 require that an inhalation risk assessment be conducted to assess risks to human health from ambient exposures. Vinyl acetate is a nasal carcinogen in rats and induces olfactory degeneration in rats and mice. Because of the many unique aspects of the rodent nasal cavity compared to that of humans, conventional means for extrapolating dosimetry between species are not appropriate. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) modeling can address many of these unique aspects. A PBPK/PD model has been developed for vinyl acetate, but the choice of appropriate dosimeter(s) to use for interspecies extrapolation depends on a hypothesis regarding mode of action. This article summarizes the key studies that formulate a mode of action hypothesis for vinyl acetate. Dose-response relationships for vinyl acetate-induced nonneoplastic and neoplastic responses are highly nonlinear, suggesting complex kinetic processes. Carboxylesterase-dependent metabolism of vinyl acetate forms acetic acid, a potent cytotoxicant, and acetaldehyde, a weak clastogen. Cell death, proposed to be the result of intracellular acidification, results in restorative cell proliferation. In conjunction with sufficient genetic damage, induced by spontaneous mutation and acetaldehyde-induced DNA-protein cross-links (DPX), olfactory degeneration progresses to a state of elevated proliferation and eventually, at high vinyl acetate concentrations, to neoplastic transformation. Thus, reduction in intracellular pH (pHi) is proposed as the dosimeter most closely linked to the earliest stages of vinyl acetate toxicity. Consequently, risk assessments that are based on protection of nasal epithelium from intracellular acidification will be protective of all subsequent pathological responses related to vinyl acetate exposure. Proposing a reasonable mode of action is an important step in any risk assessment and is critical to the choice of dosimeter(s) to be used for interspecies dosimetry extrapolation.
