Abstract | Tetramethyl bisphenol F (TMBPF) has been shown to impart unique physical properties critical for high performance of epoxy can coatings without the estrogenic activity concerns associated with other bisphenols. To further characterize the toxicological profile of TMBPF, additional endocrine-related endpoints including in vitro aromatase inhibition and steroidogenesis assays, and in vivo androgen agonism/antagonism were performed. Systemic toxicity was also assessed by a repeat dose 90-day dietary toxicity study followed by 28-day recovery period. TMBPF did not inhibit aromatase activity, and induced estradiol and testosterone at highest non-cytotoxic concentrations (10 μM) in the steroidogenesis assay. In the Hershberger assay, TMBPF showed no androgenic activity at any dose and equivocal anti-androgenic activity at the highest dose (1000 mg/kg-bw/d). In a 90-day dietary toxicity study with 28-day recovery period, observations including changes in clinical pathology, absolute and relative organ weights, and microscopic findings are discussed. In this current study, the no observed adverse effect level was considered to be 750 mg/kg-bw/d for female rats and 1000 mg/kg-bw/d for male rats with no biologically significant changes to endocrine endpoints at any dose level. Our findings provide further evidence that TMBPF is a low-toxicity substance with a toxicology profile distinct from some other bisphenols. |
