As the main synthetic raw materials of polycarbonate, bisphenol A (BPA) and its analogues have been important issues in environmental pollution. The current studies focus mainly on BPA's estrogen effects and little on their cytotoxic effects. To assess the cytotoxicities of the five BPA analogues, we employed the MTS assay to determine the inhibition toxicity to MCF-7 (ER-), 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine assay to determine the release rate of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) escaping into cell culture medium, and single cell gel electrophoresis assay (SCGE) to detect DNA damage. The dose-response curves (DRC) between the observed inhibition toxicities and concentrations of the BPA compounds in MTS assay were fitted by using the nonlinear least squares (NLS) and the results showed that all the dose-response relationships were effectively described by the Weibull or Logit function. The toxicities expressed by--lgpEC50 were BPB > BPC > TDP > BPE > BPA. LDH assay and SCGE assay showed that when the concentrations of BPA analogues were EC20, the MCF-7 cell proliferation was slightly inhibited due to its little damaged DNA, and at EC40 the cell proliferations were significantly inhibited due to the seriously damaged DNA, leading to the damage of cell membrane and release of LDH.

As emerging pollutants, bisphenol A (BPA), tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) and its analogs have become widespread in the coastal environment of China. To investigate the occurrence of these novel contaminants in Chinese marginal sea, 176 seawater and 88 sediment samples were collected from the Yellow Sea and East China Sea. In seawater and sediment, the detection rates of TBBPA are 83.

In this study, the genotoxic effects of three different bisphenols (BPAF, BPF and BPS) and their mixture were assessed in the crab Carcinus aestuarii. Crabs were exposed for 7 and 14 days to 300 ng/L of BPA analogues, alone or as a mixture (100 ng/L for each compound). After 7- and 14-day exposure, gills and hepatopancreas were sampled from crabs to evaluate damage to DNA by quantifying the levels of DNA single- and double-strand breaks.

Bisphenol A (BPA), a common endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC), has shown detrimental effects on sperm quality and function in experimental models. However, epidemiological evidence is inconsistent and also there exists a notable lack of data on its analogues, such as bisphenol F (BPF) and bisphenol S (BPS). To investigate the relationships between BPA, BPF and BPS exposures and sperm DNA damage, we conducted a cross-sectional study recruiting 474 Chinese men from an infertility clinic in Wuhan, China.

In this work, a series of boronated amidines based on the -dodecaborate anion and amino acids containing an amino group in the side chain of the general formula [BHNHC(NH(CH)CH(NH)COOH)CH], where n = 2, 3, 4, were synthesized. These derivatives contain conserved α-amino and α-carboxyl groups recognized by the binding centers of the large neutral amino acid transporter (LAT) system, which serves as a target for the clinically applied BNCT agent para-boronophenylalanine (BPA). The paper describes several approaches to synthesizing the target compounds, their acute toxicity studies, and tumor uptake studies in vivo in two tumor models.

Safer chemical alternatives to bisphenol (BP) have been a major pursuit of modern green chemistry and toxicology. Using a chemical similarity-based approach, it is difficult to identify minor structural differences that contribute to the significant changes of toxicity. Here, we used omics and computational toxicology to identify chemical features associated with BP analogue-induced embryonic toxicity, offering valuable insights to inform the design of safer chemical alternatives.
