Abstract

The Threshold of Toxicological Concern (TTC) concept can be applied to organic compounds with the known chemical structure to derive a threshold for exposure, below which a toxic effect on human health by the compound is not expected. The TTC concept distinguishes between carcinogens that may act as genotoxic and non-genotoxic compounds. A positive prediction of a genotoxic mode of action, either by structural alerts or experimental data, leads to the application of the threshold value for genotoxic compounds. Non-genotoxic substances are assigned to the TTC value of their respective Cramer class, even though it is recognized that they could test positive in a rodent cancer bioassay. This study investigated the applicability of the Cramer classes specifically to provide adequate protection for non-genotoxic carcinogens. For this purpose, benchmark dose levels based on tumor incidence were compared with no observed effect levels (NOELs) derived from non-, pre- or neoplastic lesions. One key aspect was the categorization of compounds as non-genotoxic carcinogens. The recently finished CEFIC LRI project B18 classified the carcinogens of the Carcinogenicity Potency DataBase (CPDB) as either non-genotoxic or genotoxic compounds based on experimental or data. A detailed consistency check resulted in a dataset of 137 non-genotoxic organic compounds. For these 137 compounds, NOEL values were derived from high quality animal studies with oral exposure and chronic duration using well-known repositories, such as RepDose, ToxRef, and COSMOS DB. Further, an effective tumor dose (ETD10) was calculated and compared with the lower confidence limit on benchmark dose levels (BMDL10) derived by model averaging. Comparative analysis of NOEL/EDT10/BMDL10 values showed that potentially bioaccumulative compounds in humans, as well as steroids, which both belong to the exclusion categories, occur predominantly in the region of the fifth percentiles of the distributions. Excluding these 25 compounds resulted in significantly higher but comparable fifth percentile chronic NOEL and BMDL10 values, while the fifth percentile EDT10 value was slightly higher but not statistically significant. The comparison of the obtained distributions of NOELs with the existing Cramer classes and their derived TTC values supports the application of Cramer class thresholds to all non-genotoxic compounds, such as non-genotoxic carcinogens.

摘要

毒理学关注阈值(TTC)概念可应用于具有已知化学结构的有机化合物,以得出暴露阈值,低于该阈值时预计该化合物不会对人类健康产生毒性作用。TTC概念区分了可能具有遗传毒性的致癌物和非遗传毒性化合物。通过结构警示或实验数据对遗传毒性作用模式做出阳性预测,会导致应用遗传毒性化合物的阈值。非遗传毒性物质被指定为各自Cramer类别的TTC值,尽管人们认识到它们在啮齿动物癌症生物测定中可能呈阳性。本研究专门调查了Cramer类别对为非遗传毒性致癌物提供充分保护的适用性。为此,将基于肿瘤发生率的基准剂量水平与从非肿瘤、肿瘤前或肿瘤病变得出的未观察到效应水平(NOELs)进行了比较。一个关键方面是将化合物分类为非遗传毒性致癌物。最近完成的CEFIC LRI项目B18根据实验或数据将致癌性数据库(CPDB)中的致癌物分类为非遗传毒性或遗传毒性化合物。详细的一致性检查产生了一个包含137种非遗传毒性有机化合物的数据集。对于这137种化合物,NOEL值来自高质量的动物口服暴露和长期研究,使用了知名数据库,如RepDose、ToxRef和COSMOS DB。此外,计算了有效肿瘤剂量(ETD10)并与通过模型平均得出的基准剂量水平(BMDL10)的较低置信限进行了比较。对NOEL/EDT10/BMDL10值的比较分析表明,人类中潜在的生物累积性化合物以及类固醇(均属于排除类别)主要出现在分布的第五百分位数区域。排除这25种化合物后,第五百分位数的慢性NOEL和BMDL10值显著更高但具有可比性,而第五百分位数的EDT10值略高但无统计学意义。将获得的NOEL分布与现有的Cramer类别及其导出的TTC值进行比较,支持将Cramer类别阈值应用于所有非遗传毒性化合物,如非遗传毒性致癌物。
