SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
In the present study, we applied QM calculations on dialkyl
substituted N-nitrosamines, N-methyl alkyl nitrosamines, Nnitroso pyrrolidines, N-nitroso piperidine, N-nitroso piperazine, N-nitroso morpholine, N-nitroso thiomorpholine, Nnitroso aromatics to explain the variation in potencies within
classes of molecules and to differentiate carcinogenic and
noncarcinogenicity metabolic pathways. In most of the
nitrosamines studied in this work, the CPCA scores were
found to be more conservative than the actual AIs derived
from the experimental TD50 values. Specifically, all the Nmethyl aromatic nitrosamines fall under category 2 which
recommends 100 ng/day while the actual TD50 values are
higher and nondiscrete. This underscores the need for further
refinement of the CPCA where QM modeling can further
assist in rationalizing and correcting the AI estimation. While
our results broadly support the recent rational classification in
the CPCA methodology proposed by EMA and FDA (e.g., the
doubly substituted electron-withdrawing groups increase
deactivating features thereby decreasing the potency), our
QM analysis further showed that electron-withdrawing groups
increase the activation energies for all the reactions involved in
the carcinogenic metabolism (Figure 5). Furthermore, we have
showcased several examples herein where QM modeling
provided a meaningful rationale for their reactivity including
noncarcinogens, and where CPCA classification falls short.
For the quantitative modeling of TD50 and estimation of AI
limits, several studies suggest that local QSAR models using
QM parameters can allow for the estimation of AI values.20,43
In this regard, we have used the evaluation of IR frequency as a
surrogate for radical reactivity showing a high correlation to
TD50s and used that analysis to support lower potency for
several N-methyl aromatic NDSRIs (not included in this
study). This SAR analysis was supported experimentally by in
vivo mutagenicity work (Jolly et al. in progress). These results
from QM modeling of mechanistic pathways can be used for
weight evidence arguments to support AI estimation of
NDSRIs. Additionally, understanding the competitive metabolic pathways for sulfation, glucuronidation, demethylation
and denitrosation could potentially help in justifying AI for
NDSRIs. Future work will describe other nitrosamine
chemistry methods using QM parameters with a focus on
competing metabolic pathways.
