代谢
硫芥的代谢过程尚未被广泛研究。硫芥倾向于进行分子内环化,形成一种高度活性的化合物。在水溶液中,这种转化过程得到促进,这解释了粘膜组织,如眼睛,对其作用的敏感性。硫芥的环化中间体与富含电子的分子结构反应,并烷基化蛋白质和核酸的巯基(-SH)和氨基(-NH2)基团。代谢途径包括直接的烷基化反应、谷胱甘肽反应、水解和氧化,这些途径是基于在组织中发现的硫芥DNA加合物和尿液中硫芥代谢产物的鉴定而推测出来的。... 在伊朗-伊拉克战争期间,暴露于空气中的硫芥的人的尿液中也发现了硫二甘醇。在两名伊朗-伊拉克战争硫芥中毒受害者的血液中,已经检测到了硫芥的DNA加合物,即N7-HETE-鸟嘌呤的2'-脱氧鸟苷衍生物,N7-(2-羟基乙硫基乙基)-2'脱氧鸟苷,以及硫芥与白蛋白和血红蛋白形成的加合物。....
The metabolism of sulfur mustard has not been studied extensively. Sulfur mustard tends to undergo intramolecular cyclization to create a hyperactive compound. Conversion to this derivative is facilitated in aqueous solution, which accounts for the sensitivity of mucosal tissues, such as the eye, to its action. Sulfur mustard cyclic intermediates react with and alkylate electron-rich molecular structures, such as the sulfhydryl (-SH) and amino (-NH2) groups of proteins and nucleic acids. Metabolic pathways, including direct alkylation reactions, glutathione reactions, hydrolysis, and oxidation, are presumed based on the finding of sulfur mustard DNA adducts in tissues and the identification of urinary products. ... Thiodiglycol was also found in the urine of people exposed to airborne sulfur mustard during the Iran-Iraq. A sulfur mustard adduct in DNA, the 2'-deoxyguanosine derivative of N7-HETE-guanine, N7-(2-hydroxyethylthioethyl)-2'deoxyguanosine, as well as albumin- and hemoglobin-sulfur mustard adducts, have been detected in the blood of two sulfur mustard poisoning victims of the Iran-Iraq War. ....
