Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models are often optimized by adjusting metabolic parameters so as to fit experimental toxicokinetic data. The estimates of the metabolic parameters are then conditional on the assumed values for all other parameters. Meanwhile, the reliability of other parameters, or the structural model, is usually not questioned. Inhalation exposures with human volunteers in our laboratory show that non-conjugators lack metabolic capacity for methyl chloride entirely, and that elimination in these subjects takes place via exhalation only. Therefore, data from these methyl chloride exposures provide an excellent opportunity to assess the general reliability of standard inhalation PBPK models for humans. A hierarchical population PBPK model for methyl chloride was developed. The model was fit to the experimental data in a Bayesian framework using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation. In a Bayesian analysis, it is possible to merge a priori knowledge of the physiological, anatomical and physicochemical parameters with the information embedded in the experimental toxicokinetic data obtained in vivo. The resulting estimates are both statistically and physiologically plausible. Model deviations suggest that a pulmonary sub-compartment may be needed in order to describe the inhalation and exhalation of volatile methyl chloride adequately. The results also indicate that there may be significant intra-individual variability in the model parameters. ...

... Methyl chloride is rapidly absorbed from the lungs and rapidly reaches equilibrium with levels in blood and expired air approximately proportional to the exposure concentrations. At high concentrations, kinetic processes such as metabolism or excretion may become saturated limiting the rate of uptake. Animals studies show that methyl chloride is absorbed from the lungs and extensively distributed throughout the body.

During inhalation exposure to methyl chloride, blood:gas equilibrium is rapidly attained. Respiration and hepatic perfusion appear to be rate-limiting factors of gas uptake at low toxicant concentrations, while capacity of liver to conduct metabolism is rate-limiting at high concentrations.

The aim of the present study was to investigate how the genetic polymorphism in glutathione transferase T1 (GSTT1) affects the metabolism and disposition of methyl chloride in humans in vivo. The 24 volunteers (13 males and 11 females) who participated in the study were recruited from a group of 208 individuals previously phenotyped for GSTT1 by measuring the glutathione transferase activity with methyl chloride in lysed erythrocytes ex vivo. Eight individuals with high (+/+), eight with medium (+/0) and eight with no (0/0) GSTT1 activity were exposed to methyl chloride gas (10 ppm) in an exposure chamber for 2 hr. Uptake and disposition was studied by measuring the concentration of methyl chloride in inhaled air, exhaled air and blood. A two-compartment model with two elimination pathways corresponding to exhalation and metabolism was fitted to experimental data. The average net respiratory uptake of methyl chloride was 243, 158, and 44 umol in individuals with high, intermediate and no GSTT1 activity, respectively. Metabolic clearance was high (4.6 L/min) in the +/+ group, intermediate (2.4 L/min) in the +/0 group, and close to zero in 0/0 individuals, while the exhalation clearance was similar in the three groups. No exposure related increase in urinary S-methyl cysteine was detected. However, gender and the GSTTl phenotype seemed to affect the background levels. In conclusion, GSTT1 appears to be the sole determinant of methyl chloride metabolism in humans. Thus, individuals with nonfunctional GSTT1 entirely lack the capacity to metabolize methyl chloride.

Methyl chloride is metabolized by conjugation with glutathione to yield S-methylglutathione, S-methylcysteine, and other sulfur-containing compounds that are excreted in the urine or further metabolized to methanethiol. Cytochrome P450-dependent metabolism of methanethiol may yield formaldehyde and formic acid, whose carbon atoms are then available to the one-carbon pool for incorporation into macromolecules or for formation of CO2. Alternatively, formaldehyde may be directly produced from chloromethane via a P450 oxidative dechlorination.

The conjugation of chloromethane with glutathione is primarily enzyme-catalyzed. In contrast to all other animal species investigated (rats, mice, bovine, pigs, sheep, and rhesus monkeys), human erythrocytes contain a glutathione transferase isoenzyme that catalyzes the conjugation of glutathione with methyl chloride. There are two distinct human subpopulations based on the amount or forms of this transferase.

... Apparent steady-state blood methyl chloride (MeCl) concentrations were proportionate to exposure concentration in rats and dogs exposed to 50 and 1000 ppm. Furthermore, blood MeCl concentrations were similar in both species when they were exposed to the same concentration. A linear two-compartment open model described the blood MeCl data: alpha and beta phase elimination half-times corresponded to approximately 4 and 15 min, respectively, in rats, and 8 and 40 min in dogs.

Cytotoxicity, the primary effect of methyl chloride, resulted in the disruption of the cell metab. and altered the electron transport processes of the respiratory chain. Thus, following 2-30 day inhalation exposure in rats (4 hr daily), the response was max by 8th day. Initially the activities of succinate dehydrogenase, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, nonspecific esterase, decreased somewhat, whereas NAD-diaphorase and cytochrome oxidase increased. The activity of the diaphorase in the lymphoid tissue was high during the progress of the primary response. The secondary response was noted by 30th day when cytochrome oxidase activities are informative of the progress of toxic processes.

Previous data have demonstrated that methyl chloride is toxic to B6C3F1 mice under both acute and chronic exposure conditions, and that conjugation of methyl chloride with glutathione is a key step in the metabolism of methyl chloride. This study examined the role of glutathione in mediating the acute toxicity of methyl chloride to liver, kidney, and brain of male B6C3F1 mice. The lethal effects of a single 6 hr inhalation exposure of B6C3F1 males to 2500 ppm methyl chloride were completely prevented by pretreatment with the glutathione synthesis inhibitor, L-buthionine-S,R-sulfoximine (4 mmol L-BSO/kg, ip 1.5 hr prior to methyl chloride exposure). ... These results indicate that glutathione is an important component in the toxicity of methyl chloride to multiple organ systems in B6C3F1 mice. Reaction of methyl chloride with glutathione appears to constitute a mechanism of toxication, contrary to the role usually proposed for glutathione in detoxifying xenobiotics.

Inhalation of methyl chloride by male B6C3F1 mice resulted in a concentration-dependent depletion of glutathione in liver, kidney, and brain. Exposure for 6 hr to 100 ppm methyl chloride decreased the concentration of glutathione in mouse liver by 45%, while exposure to 2500 ppm for 6 hr lowered liver glutathione to approximately 2% of control levels. For those exposures which decreased liver glutathione to less than 20% of control levels, the extent of liver glutathione depletion was closely correlated with the capacity of a 9000 g supernatant fraction from the liver to undergo lipid peroxidation in vitro. Glutathione was depleted to a lesser extent in mouse brain and kidney, compared to liver, and no relationship to peroxidation was observed for single exposures to methyl chloride. ... Exposure of rats to 2000 ppm methyl chloride reduced liver glutathione to 20% of control levels, compared to 4.5% in mice similarly exposed, and under these exposure conditions the amount of lipid peroxidation measured in vitro was 40 fold greater in mouse liver than in rat liver. During exposure of mice to 2500 ppm methyl chloride, ethane expiration increased to an extent comparable to that produced by administration of 2 ml/kg of carbon tetrachloride. These findings suggest that glutathione depletion in liver may be an important component of methyl chloride induced hepatotoxicity.

The effect of acute methyl chloride inhalation on F-344 rat tissue nonprotein SH (NPSH), largely reduced glutathione was studied. Rats were exposed to methyl chloride concentrations of 1500, 500 or 100 ppm. A 6 hr exposure to 1500 ppm methyl chloride decreased the nonprotein SH content of liver, kidney and lungs to 17, 27 and 30% of control values, respectively, while 500 ppm methyl chloride lowered the liver, kidney and lung nonprotein SH to 41, 59 and 55% of control values, respectively, demonstrating a concentration-related effect. Blood nonprotein SH did not differ from controls in either group. No statistically significant changes from controls in tissue or blood nonprotein SH were observed following a 100-ppm methyl chloride exposure. The extent of tissue nonprotein SH loss depended on exposure duration. Liver and kidney nonprotein SH returned to control nonprotein SH concentrations within 8 hr following exposure of 1500 ppm methyl chloride. Pretreatment of rats with Aroclor 1254 or SKF-525A (proadifen hydrochloride) did not alter the methyl chloride-induced decrease in tissue nonprotein SH. Methyl chloride reacted extensively with tissue nonprotein SH in vivo in a concentration-related fashion following acute inhaltion exposure. The most likely nonprotein SH constituent with which methyl chloride reacted was reduced glutathione. The finding that blood nonprotein SH was not affected, in contrast to liver, kidney or lung nonprotein SH, indicated a tissue-specific reaction between methyl chloride and SH groups, a reaction in which the tissue enzyme glutathione-S-alkyltransferase may play a role.
