Dicyandiamide (DCD) and nitrapyrin (NP) are nitrification inhibitors (NIs) used in agriculture for over 40 years. Recently, ethoxyquin (EQ) was proposed as a novel potential NI, acting through its derivative quinone imine (QI). Still, the specific activity of these NIs on the different groups of ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms (AOM), and mostly their effects on other soil microbiota remain unknown.

Paracetamol is commonly used to treat fever and pain in pregnant women, but there are growing concerns that this may cause attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder in the offspring. A growing number of epidemiological studies suggests that relative risks for these disorders increase by an average of about 25% following intrauterine paracetamol exposure. The data analyzed point to a dose-effect relationship but cannot fully account for unmeasured confounders, notably indication and genetic transmission.

Diclofenac (DCF) is widely used as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug; however, it is associated with severe liver injury. This adverse reaction is thought to be related to the reactive quinone imine (QI) and acyl glucuronide (AG) metabolites of DCF, but it remains controversial which reactive metabolites mainly contribute to DCF-induced toxicity. In this study, we synthesized five types of DCF analogs that were designed to mitigate the formation of reactive QI and/or AG metabolites and evaluated their metabolic stability, cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitory activity, and toxicity to cryopreserved human hepatocytes.

Nitrification inhibitors (NIs) applied to soil reduce nitrogen fertilizer losses from agr-ecosystems. NIs that are currently registered for use in agriculture appear to selectively inhibit ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), while their impact on other nitrifiers is limited or unknown. Ethoxyquin (EQ), a fruit preservative shown to inhibit ammonia-oxidizers (AO) in soil, is rapidly transformed to 2,6-dihydro-2,2,4-trimethyl-6-quinone imine (QI), and 2,4-dimethyl-6-ethoxy-quinoline (EQNL).

Bromfenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that was approved and subsequently withdrawn from the market because of reported cases of acute hepatotoxicity. Recently, studies have revealed that bromfenac requires UDPGA and alamethicin supplemented human liver microsomes (HLM) to form a major metabolite, bromfenac indolinone (BI). Bromfenac and BI form thioether adducts through a bioactivation pathway in HLM and hepatocytes.
