RESUMO

Potential consequences of combined exposure to the selected food-borne alkenylbenzenes safrole and estragole or their proximate carcinogenic 1'-hydroxy metabolites were evaluated in vitro and in silico. HepG2 cells were exposed to 1'-hydroxyestragole and 1'-hydroxysafrole individually or in equipotent combination subsequently detecting cytotoxicity and DNA adduct formation. Results indicate that concentration addition adequately describes the cytotoxic effects and no statistically significant differences were shown in the level of formation of the major DNA adducts. Furthermore, physiologically based kinetic modeling revealed that at normal dietary intake the concentration of the parent compounds and their 1'-hydroxymetabolites remain substantially below the Km values for the respective bioactivation and detoxification reactions providing further support for the fact that the simultaneous presence of the two carcinogens or of their proximate carcinogenic 1'-hydroxy metabolites may not affect their DNA adduct formation. Overall, these results point at the absence of interactions upon combined exposure to selected food-borne alkenylbenzenes at realistic dietary levels of intake.

RESUMO

Asarone isomers are naturally occurring in Acorus calamus Linné, Guatteria gaumeri Greenman, and Aniba hostmanniana Nees. These secondary plant metabolites belong to the class of phenylpropenes (phenylpropanoids or alkenylbenzenes). They are further chemically classified into the propenylic trans- and cis-isomers α-asarone and ß-asarone and the allylic γ-asarone. Flavoring, as well as potentially pharmacologically useful properties, enables the application of asarone isomers in fragrances, food, and traditional phytomedicine not only since their isolation in the 1950s. However, efficacy and safety in humans are still not known. Preclinical evidence has not been systematically studied, and several pharmacological effects have been reported for extracts of Acorus calamus and propenylic asarone isomers. Toxicological data are rare and not critically evaluated altogether in the 21st century yet. Therefore, within this review, available toxicological data of asarone isomers were assessed in detail. This assessment revealed that cardiotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, and mutagenicity as well as carcinogenicity were described for propenylic asarone isomers with varying levels of reliability. The toxicodynamic profile of γ-asarone is unknown except for mutagenicity. Based on the estimated daily exposure and reported adverse effects, officials restricted or published recommendations for the use of ß-asarone and preparations of Acorus calamus. In contrast, α-asarone and γ-asarone were not directly addressed due to a limited data situation.
