A series of phosphonates, phosphinates and phosphine oxides isothiocyanate-derived mercapturic acids were synthesized. A temperature dependence dynamic proton decoupled P NMR studies indicated that in most cases the compounds were obtained as a mixture of rotamers. Moreover, biologically relevant reversibility of mercapturic acids synthesis from the parental isothiocyanates was confirmed. All compounds were evaluated ashighly active antiproliferative agents in vitro in human colon cancer cell lines (LoVo and its doxorubicin-resistant subline LoVo/DX). The cell cycle progression and caspase-3 activity analyses revealed compounds moderate activity as apoptosis inducers and their poor influence on cell cycle progression in the LoVo cells. Our results confirm that isothiocyanate-derived mercapturic acids present a reasonable alternative for the parental compounds, and can replace them in the future studies on isothiocyanates potential as anticancer agents.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are toxic contaminants with a widespread presence in diverse environmental contexts. Transformation processes of PAHs via degradation and biotransformation have parallels in humans, animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria. Mapping the transformation products of PAHs is therefore crucial for assessing their toxicological impact and developing effective monitoring strategies.

Benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX) are priority pollutants known for their hematotoxicity and carcinogenic properties. Benzene is further metabolized to phenyl mercapturic acid (PMA), toluene and xylene also generate benzyl mercapturic acid (BMA) in human urine. To confirm whether the exposure to benzene series comes from the workplace or from the external environment such as smoking is a very meaningful work, so accurate measurement of their biomarkers in biological samples is crucial.

Article Synopsis
- * The protein is crucial for various physiological processes, including oxidative stress response and mitochondrial function, and its interaction with Alzheimer's disease proteins suggests a link to neurological health issues like oxidative stress and cognitive decline.
- * Research involving Rlip in animal models of Alzheimer's disease reveals that altering its levels can lead to significant mitochondrial and cognitive impairments, indicating its potential as a therapeutic target in Alzheimer's progression and treatment.

The global prevalence of electronic cigarettes, heated tobacco products, and other smokeless alternatives has grown significantly in the last ten years. These products have been suggested as combustion-free alternatives for conventional tobacco products like cigarettes, aiming to reduce the negative health impacts associated with smoking. However, the impact of those products on the health and safety of the general population are still unclear, as the absolute exposure from those products has not been thoroughly studied, yet.

We report a significantly more rapid method for quantitation of the urinary mercapturic acids of the isomeric toxicants crotonaldehyde, methacrolein, and methyl vinyl ketone. The major innovation of this novel method is detection by liquid chromatography-negative atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-tandem mass spectrometry-selected reaction monitoring as opposed to detection by negative electrospray ionization in our previously reported method. The new method also uses an improved Raptor Biphenyl HPLC column.
