Decabromodiphenyl ethane
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) is a brominated flame retardant. Decabromodiphenyl ethane induces ROS-related cytotoxicity and apoptosis in human hepatoma cells, causes hepatocyte damage through oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress and decreased CYP3A expression, and accumulates and undergoes biotransformation in animal tissues. Decabromodiphenyl ethane can be used to study the environmental toxicology and biological effects of brominated flame retardants.

Biological Activity
Decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) (12.5-100 mg/L; 48 or 72 h) reduces HepG2 cell viability, induces apoptosis, and increases ROS production in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Treatment with NAC decreases DBDPE-induced ROS levels and restores cell viability[3].
Exposure to decabromodiphenyl reduces the viability of L-02 hepatocytes, induces LDH release and apoptosis, increases ROS levels, elevates MDA levels, decreases GSH content, reduces SOD activity, lowers mitochondrial membrane potential, and alters the expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins such as PERK and IRE-1α[4]
Decabromodiphenyl ethane (50 μM; 24 h) induces oxidative stress in L-02 cells, which is characterized by increased levels of ROS and MDA, as well as decreased GSH content, SOD activity and mitochondrial membrane potential; pretreatment with NAC alleviates the above changes.
Decabromodiphenyl ethane (6.25-100 μM; 24 h) reduces the viability of L-02 human normal hepatocytes in a concentration-dependent manner and increases the release of LDH and transaminases, indicating hepatocyte injury.
Exposure to decabromodiphenyl ethane reduces CYP3A expression in L-02 cells, while pretreatment with NAC or 4-PBA can ameliorate the changes in CYP3A expression induced by DBDPE.
Exposure to decabromodiphenyl ethane induces endoplasmic reticulum stress in L-02 cells, characterized by increased expression of PERK and IRE-1α; 4-PBA, an endoplasmic reticulum stress inhibitor, reduces endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis induced by DBDPE.
Decabromodiphenyl ethane (12.5-100 mg/L; 48 or 72 h) induces apoptosis in HepG2 cells, accompanied by excessive production of ROS; the ROS scavenger NAC reduces the related effects induced by DBDPE.

Decabromodiphenyl ethane ([14C]-DBDPE; 100 nmol/kg; oral administration; single dose; 72 h observation) exhibits low oral absorption in male B6C3F1/Tac mice, with the administered radioactivity mainly excreted in feces in unchanged form; mice show faster fecal excretion rates compared to female Sprague Dawley rats, but the overall in vivo disposition characteristics are similar in the two animal models[2].
Decabromodiphenyl ethane (100 mg/kg bw/day; p.o.; daily administration; consecutive 90 days) is detectable and undergoes biotransformation in the liver, kidney, and adipose tissue of male Sprague Dawley rats. At least 7 unknown metabolites are detected after exposure, some of which are speculated to be sulfur-containing nona-BDPE derivatives, while the debromination pathway producing lower-brominated BDPEs is not the major metabolic pathway. DBDPE exposure affects some clinical biochemical parameters, thyroid hormone levels, and the expression of related enzymes in rats[1].
