ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 272:116027. [PMID: 38295733 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2023] [Revised: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
Deferiprone, generally, is considered an important chelating agent for Fe3+ overload. From a literature data analysis, a lack of information on the interaction of this molecule toward a series of metal cations emerged, inducing to fill out the topic. The complexing ability of deferiprone toward Ca2+, Mg2+, Cd2+ and Pb2+ was studied by potentiometry and 1H NMR spectroscopy, in KCl aqueous solutions at different ionic strength values (0.1 ≤ I/mol dm-3 ≤ 1.0) and T = 298.15 K. The same speciation model featured by the ML, ML2, ML3 and ML(OH) (M = metal and L = deferiprone or DFP) species was obtained for Cd2+ and Pb2+; the formation constants calculated at infinite dilution are: logTβ = 7.23±0.02, 12.47±0.03, 16.70±0.04, and -2.53±0.04, respectively for Cd2+ and 9.91±0.01, 15.99±0.02, 19.93±0.05 and 0.99±0.02 for Pb2+. Only two species, namely ML and ML2, were determined for Ca2+ and Mg2+, whose formation constants at infinite dilution are respectively: 3.72±0.01 and 6.50±0.02, for the first one, 5.31±0.01 and 9.58±0.01, for the second. The ligand sequestering ability and affinity toward M2+ were evaluated by determining the pL0.5 and pM parameters at different pHs and ionic strengths. The results suggest that deferiprone has the best complexing and sequestering ability toward Pb2+, followed by Cd2+, Mg2+ and Ca2+, respectively. 1H NMR studies confirmed the DFP affinity for Cd2+ and Pb2+, and in combination with DFT calculations showed that metal cations are bound to the hydroxo-oxo moiety of the pyridinone ring. The data reported in this study provide information on the possible employment of a small molecule like deferiprone, as a chelating and sequestering agent for Pb2+ accumulation or overload from environmental and biological matrices.

Effects of subacute cadmium exposure and subsequent deferiprone treatment on cadmium accumulation and on the homeostasis of essential elements in the mouse brain. J Trace Elem Med Biol 2022; 74:127062. [PMID: 35985070 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtemb.2022.127062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2022] [Revised: 07/30/2022] [Accepted: 08/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cadmium (Cd) is а hazardous multi-organ toxin. In this study, we provide the first results about the effect of oral administration of deferiprone (DFP) on Cd accumulation and on the homeostasis of essential elements in the brain of Cd-exposed mice. METHODS Adult Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) male mice were randomized into four experimental groups: untreated controls - administered distilled water for 28 days; Cd-exposed group - exposed to 18 mg/kg body weight (b.w.) Cd(II) acetate for 14 days followed by the administration of distilled water for two weeks; Cd + DFP (low dose) - Cd-intoxicated mice subsequently treated with 19 mg/kg b.w. DFP for two weeks; and Cd + DFP (high dose) - Cd-exposed mice administered high-dose DFP (135 mg/kg b.w.) for 14 days. Brains were subjected to inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and histological analysis. RESULTS The results revealed that exposure of mice to Cd for 14 days significantly increased Cd concentration and significantly decreased magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), and zinc (Zn) contents in the brain compared to untreated controls. This effect was accompanied by necrotic-degenerative changes in both the cerebrum and cerebellum. Oral administration of low-dose DFP to Cd-exposed mice decreased the concentration of the toxic metal in the brain by 16.37% and restored the concentration of the essential elements to normal control values. Histological analysis revealed substantially improved cerebral and cerebellar histoarchitectures. In contrast, oral administration of high-dose DFP increased Cd content and significantly decreased selenium (Se) concentration in the brain. Necrotic neurons and Purkinje cells were still observed in the cerebral and cerebellar cortices. CONCLUSION The results demonstrated that oral administration of DFP at low doses has a better therapeutic potential for the treatment of Cd-induced brain damage compared to high doses.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) has been widely studied as an environmental pollutant for many years. Numerous studies have reported that Cd exposure causes damage to the heart, liver, kidneys, and thyroid in vivo. The emerging evidence suggests that Cd exposure induces damage on male reproductive system, which is related to oxidative stress, inflammation, steroidogenesis disruption, and epigenetics. Current preclinical animal studies have confirmed a large number of proteins and intracellular signaling pathways involved in the pathological process of Cd-induced male reproductive damage and potential measures for prophylaxis and treatment, which primarily include antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, and essential ion supplement. However, explicit pathogenesis and effective treatments remain uncertain. This review collects data from the literatures, discusses the underlying mechanisms of Cd-induced toxicity on male reproductive function, and summarizes evidence that may provide guidance for the treatment and prevention of Cd-induced male reproductive toxicity.

Abstract
Thallium and its compounds are a class of highly toxic chemicals that cause wide-ranging symptoms such as gastrointestinal disturbances; polyneuritis; encephalopathy; tachycardia; skin eruptions; hepatic, renal, cardiac, and neurological toxicities; and have mutagenic and genotoxic effects. The present research aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the chelating agents deferasirox (DFX) and deferiprone (L1) in reducing serum and tissue thallium levels after the administration of thallium (III), according to two different dosing regimens, to several groups of Wistar rats for 60 days. It was hypothesized that the two chelators might be more efficient as a combined therapy than as monotherapies in removing thallium (III) from the rats' organs. The chelators were administered orally as either single or combined therapies for a period of 14 days. Serum and tissue thallium (III) and iron concentrations were determined by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy. Serum and tissue thallium (III) levels were significantly reduced by combined therapy with DFX and L1. Additionally, iron concentrations returned to normal levels and symptoms of toxicity decreased.

Abstract
Quercetin found chelate cadmium ions, scavenge free radicals produced by cadmium. Hence new complex, quercetin with cadmium was synthesised, and the synthesised complex structures were determined by UV-vis spectrophotometry, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis techniques (UV-vis, IR, TGA and DTA). The equilibrium stability constants of quercetin-cadmium complex were determined by Job's method. The determined stability constant value of quercetin-cadminum complex at pH 4.4 is 2.27×10(6) and at pH 7.4 is 7.80×10(6). It was found that the quercetin and cadmium ion form 1:1 complex in both pH 4.4 and pH 7.4. The structure of the compounds was elucidated on the basis of obtained results. Furthermore, the antioxidant activity of the free quercetin and quercetin-cadmium complexes were determined by DPPH and ABTS assays.
