  • This study was conducted to determine the kinetics of cyclohexane metabolites (the biomarker on cyclohexane exposure), the changes of hepatic cyclohexane metabolizing enzyme activities and the metabolites of cyclohexane in urine or serum. The rats were sacrificed at 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hr after administration of one dose of cyclohexane (1.56 g/kg body weight, i.p.). The metabolites of cyclohexane in urine were identified as cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone, trans-l,2-cyclohexanediol and 1,4-cyclohexanediol with cyclohexane metabolite being 124.00, 0.78, 23.28 and 2.75 (g/g of creatinine, $1\times10^{-3}$). Most of the cyclohexanol and trans-l,2-cyclohexanediol were determined to be in the form of $\beta-glucuronide$ conjugates, whereas cyclohexanone and 1 ,4-cyclohexanediol were found as free forms. In toxicokinetics of serum cyclohexane metabolites, cyclohexanol showed a rapid increase, reaching the plateau at 4 hr, after this time rapidly decreased throughout 24 hr. Changes of cyclohexanone also showed the similar pattern with cyclohexanol except somewhat lower concentration. Trans-l,2-cyclohexanediol, however, showed a gradual increase until 12 hr with the continued same levels throughout 24 hr. On the other hand, 1,4-cyclohexanediol was detected as trace levels at 4 and 12 hr, respectively. The administration of cyclohexane led to a significant increase of hepatic aniline hydroxylase activity from 2 to 8 hr. The activity of hepatic alcohol dehydrogenase showed a significant increase at 4 hr and then were recovered to the level of the control at 24 hr. On the other hand, there were no differences in liver weightlbody weight between the control and cyclohexane-treated animals. However, there were the changes of aniline hydroxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase activities on time-dependent pattern after cyclohexane treatment, which influence on the degree of cyclohexane metabolites both in blood and urine. These results suggest that differential determination of cyclohexane metabolites in urine and serum may be able to be as a biomarker of cyclohexane-exposure in the body. But in this fields further study is needed.

  • Activity staining on the native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) of a cell-free extract of Rhodococcus sp. TK6, grown in media containing alcohols as the carbon source, revealed at least seven isozyme bands, which were identified as alcohol dehydrogenases that oxidize cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone. Among the alcohol dehydrogenases, cyclohexanol dehydrogenase II (CDH II), which is the major enzyme involved in the oxidation of cyclohexanol, was purified to homogeneity. The molecular mass of the CDH II was determined to be 60 kDa by gel filtration, while the molecular mass of each subunit was estimated to be 28 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The CDH II was unstable in acidic and basic pHs, and rapidly inactivated at temperatures above $40^{\circ}C$ . The CDH II activity was enhanced by the addition of divalent metal ions, like $Ba^2+\;and\;Mg^{2+}$. The purified enzyme catalyzed the oxidation of a broad range of alcohols, including cyclohexanol, trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diol, trans-cyclopentane-l,2-diol, cyclopentanol, and hexane-1,2-diol. The $K_m$ values of the CDH II for cyclohexanol, trans-cyclohexane-l,2-diol, cyclopentanol, trans-cyclopentane-l,2-diol, and hexane-l,2-diol were 1.7, 2.8, 14.2, 13.7, and 13.5 mM, respectively. The CDH II would appear to be a major alcohol dehydrogenase for the oxidation of cyclohexanol. The N-terminal sequence of the CDH II was determined to be TVAHVTGAARGIGRA. Furthermore, based on a comparison of the determined sequence with other short chain alcohol dehydrogenases, the purified CDH II was suggested to be a new enzyme.
