[0085] Environmental endocrine disruptors are a class of exogenous chemicals that can interfere with the normal endocrine function of organisms. The endocrine system of fish exposed to environmental endocrine disruptors will be seriously disrupted. In order to evaluate the toxic effects of the target site concentrations of environmental endocrine disruptors on fish, it is necessary to predict the concentration of environmental endocrine disruptors entering the fish body. At present, the existing technology mainly relies on the external exposure concentration of environmental endocrine disruptors directly measured in environmental samples to evaluate the toxic effects on fish. However, the existing technology only relies on the external exposure concentration of environmental endocrine disruptors directly measured in environmental samples, and cannot accurately evaluate the toxic effects of the target site concentrations of environmental endocrine disruptors on fish.
[0086] In response to the above technical problems, the present application proposes the following technical concept: Considering that it is impossible to accurately evaluate the toxic effects of the target site concentration of environmental endocrine disruptors on fish by relying solely on the external exposure concentration of environmental endocrine disruptors directly measured in environmental samples. The inventors thought of determining the mass balance differential equations of environmental endocrine disruptors in different compartments according to the characteristics of different compartments of fish to characterize the physiological processes in different compartments; the influence of temperature fluctuation factors and growth dilution effects were also considered, and the temperature prediction equation corresponding to the temperature fluctuation factor and the growth equation corresponding to the growth dilution effect were nested into the first physiological toxicokinetic model to obtain the second physiological toxicokinetic model. The second physiological toxicokinetic model is able to dynamically simulate the concentration changes of environmental endocrine disruptors in fish, thereby accurately predicting the concentration of environmental endocrine disruptors in fish, so as to accurately evaluate the toxic effects of the target site concentration of environmental endocrine disruptors on fish.

The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.

[0129] S204: Optimizing multiple model parameters of the initial physiological toxicokinetic model to obtain multiple optimized model parameters.
[0130] In the subsequent embodiments, the process of optimizing multiple model parameters will be introduced.
[0131] S205: Correcting the exchange coefficient of the fish gill chemical flux to obtain a corrected exchange coefficient of the fish gill chemical flux.
[0132] Due to the dissociation of the chemical species, the dissociable fraction generally exhibits lower membrane permeability than the neutral fraction, resulting in lower lipophilicity. Therefore, the exchange coefficients for chemical fluxes through the gills were corrected.
[0133] Specifically, the exchange coefficient of the fish gill chemical flux is corrected to obtain the corrected exchange coefficient of the fish gill chemical flux, and the correction formula is:
[0134]
[0135] In the formula, K x ′ represents the exchange coefficient of the corrected gill chemical flux, F water Indicates the effective breathing volume, F card represents cardiac output, P bw It represents blood-water partition coefficient, VO2 represents oxygen consumption rate, OEE represents oxygen uptake efficiency, and Cox represents dissolved oxygen concentration.
[0136] S206: embedding the temperature prediction equation and the growth equation into the initial physiological toxicokinetic model to obtain a first physiological toxicokinetic model.
[0137] Optionally, the temperature prediction equation is the Arrhenius equation; and the growth equation is the von Bertalanffy growth equation.
[0138] In this embodiment, in order to characterize the effect of water temperature on metabolic rate, the Arrhenius equation was used to predict the effect of increased water temperature on the rate of physiological processes of various species.
[0139] Specifically, the temperature prediction equation is:
[0140]
[0141] In the formula, represents the temperature reaction rate, Indicates the temperature reaction rate at the preset temperature. represents the characteristic constant, T A represents the Arrhenius temperature, T r Indicates the preset temperature, and T indicates the absolute temperature of water.
[0142] Optionally, It can be a characteristic constant for a given reaction.
[0143] In this example, the growth equation was embedded into the initial physiological toxicokinetic model to reflect the growth dilution effect.
[0144] Specifically, the growth equation is:
[0145]
[0146] Where L represents the structural length of the fish. represents the energy consumption rate, f represents the relative density of food, g represents the energy input ratio, L m Indicates the maximum structural length of the fish.
[0147] In this embodiment, according to the allometric scaling hypothesis of DEB theory, the volume length is the cube root of the volume and is independent of the body size of the organism. The physical length of a specific shape is converted to the structural length through the shape coefficient. Specifically, the conversion formula is:
[0148]
[0149] Where V is the volume of the structure; L is the length of the structure; δ M is the shape factor; L ω It is the standard body length.
[0150] In this embodiment, body weight is described by the mass-body length equation, which is:
[0151]
[0152] In the formula, a BW and b BW represents the allometric scaling parameter. BM represents the weight of the fish, L ω Indicates standard body length.
[0153] S207: Optimize the first physiological toxicokinetic model according to the mass balance differential equations of each compartment, species-specific physiological parameters, compound-specific physicochemical parameters, toxicokinetic parameters, multiple optimized model parameters and the exchange coefficient of corrected fish gill chemical flux to obtain a second physiological toxicokinetic model. The second physiological toxicokinetic model is used to predict the concentration of environmental endocrine disruptors in fish.
[0154] In this embodiment, according to the mass balance differential equations of each compartment, species-specific physiological parameters, compound-specific physicochemical parameters, toxicokinetic parameters, multiple optimized model parameters and the exchange coefficient of the corrected gill chemical flux, the first physiological toxicokinetic model was optimized by R language to obtain the second physiological toxicokinetic model.
[0155] In summary, by dividing the fish into multiple compartments, the mass balance differential equations of environmental endocrine disruptors in different compartments were modified to characterize the physiological processes in different compartments; the temperature prediction equation corresponding to the temperature fluctuation factor and the growth equation corresponding to the growth dilution effect were embedded in the first physiological toxicokinetic model to obtain the second physiological toxicokinetic model. The second physiological toxicokinetic model can dynamically simulate the concentration changes of environmental endocrine disruptors in fish, thereby accurately predicting the concentration of environmental endocrine disruptors in fish, and then accurately evaluating the toxic effects of the target site concentration of environmental endocrine disruptors on fish. In addition, there are many species of fish distributed globally, and laboratory live fish experiments are costly, have long experimental cycles, and have large uncertainties. Under the principles of reducing, replacing, and optimizing experimental animals, large-scale whole fish experiments cannot be carried out. Therefore, by simulating the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion processes of compounds in different fish based on species-specific physiological parameters, compound-specific physicochemical parameters and toxicokinetic parameters, while replacing laboratory fish experiments, it also takes into account the differences in species sensitivity, as well as the main biological pathways and target tissues of a variety of different compounds, further improving the accuracy of predicting the concentration of environmental endocrine disruptors in fish.
[0156] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, in this embodiment, the process of optimizing multiple model parameters of the initial physiological toxicokinetic model and obtaining multiple optimized model parameters is introduced in detail, as described in detail as follows:
[0157] Among them, multiple model parameters include the unbound proportion of the compound, the lipid-water distribution coefficient and the liver clearance rate.
[0158] Specifically, the unbound ratio of the compound is optimized to obtain an optimized unbound ratio of the compound; the lipid-water distribution coefficient is optimized to obtain an optimized lipid-water distribution coefficient; and the liver clearance rate is optimized to obtain an optimized liver clearance rate.
[0159] Specifically, the unbound ratio of the compound is optimized to obtain an optimized unbound ratio of the compound, and the optimization formula is:
[0160]
[0161] In the formula, f u1represents the optimized unbound fraction of the compound for the non-dissociable chemical, f u2 represents the unbound ratio of the optimized compound for the dissociable chemical species; v wbl Indicates water content, P bw represents the blood-water partition coefficient, logKow represents the octanol-water partition coefficient for an imdissociable chemical substance, and logDow represents the octanol-water partition coefficient for a dissociable chemical substance.
[0162] Among them, logKow and logDow in chemistry are two different parameters. Since the pH value range of natural water bodies is very wide, the fate and toxicity of dissociable chemicals in fish bodies vary greatly, so it is expressed by the combined distribution coefficient Dow. logDow depends on the form of the chemical, that is, the valence state of the chemical, the acid dissociation constant, and the external pH value. Dissociated components usually show lower membrane permeability than neutral components, so Kow is replaced by Dow to calculate the exchange coefficient of fish gill chemical flux.
[0163] Specifically, the fat-water distribution coefficient is optimized to obtain the optimized fat-water distribution coefficient. The optimization formula is:
[0164] D ow =f n,fish ×K ow +(1-f n,fish )×K ow,ion
[0165]
[0166] Where D ow represents the optimized fat-water distribution coefficient, f n,fish Indicates the proportion of neutral molecules in the fish body, K ow represents the n-octanol-water partition coefficient, K ow,ion is the octanol-water partition coefficient of the ionic molecule, pKa represents the acid dissociation constant, and j represents the coefficient.
[0167] Alternatively, for dissociable compounds, the pH-dependent lipid-water distribution coefficient Dow is used instead of Kow to better reflect the dissociation behavior of the chemical species.
[0168] Optionally, f n,fish It represents the proportion of neutral molecules in the fish body. For acid, j=1, and for base, j=-1.
[0169] Each tissue is divided into three parts: lipid, non-lipid organic matter and water. The tissue-water partition coefficient is the sum of the distribution of substances between different fish components and the exposure water.
[0170]
[0171] Where P iw represents the tissue-water partition coefficient, f n,l represents the proportion of neutral lipids, f p,l represents the proportion of polar lipids, f nlom represents the proportion of non-lipid organic matter, f w represents the proportion of water; parameters a and b are the regression coefficient and slope of each tissue, respectively; among them, the tissue-blood distribution coefficient is P iw and P bw The ratio between .
[0172] To better compare with other exposure scenarios and for use in mass balance models, the standard rate constants were converted to mass- and temperature-dependent rate constants. Hepatic clearance was then calculated by multiplying the mass- and temperature-dependent rate constants by the apparent volume of distribution.
[0173] Specifically, the liver clearance rate is optimized to obtain an optimized liver clearance rate, and the optimization formula is:
[0174] Cl hepatic =K M,X ×V D
[0175]
[0176] In the formula, Cl hepatic represents the optimized liver clearance, K M,X represents the mass- and temperature-dependent rate constant, V D represents the apparent volume of distribution, K M,N represents the standard rate constant, BM represents the weight of the fish, T represents the temperature, V i Indicates the volume of each compartment; f nl,i represents the proportion of neutral lipids in each compartment, f pl,i represents the proportion of polar lipids in each compartment, f nlom,i represents the proportion of non-lipid organic matter in each compartment, f w,i Indicates the proportion of water in each compartment, D ow represents the optimized lipid-water distribution coefficient, P bw It represents the blood-water partition coefficient.
[0177] In this embodiment, the gills are not included in the calculation of the apparent distribution volume, and arterial blood and venous blood are combined into a unified blood compartment.
[0178] In summary, multiple model parameters were optimized, including the unbound proportion of the compound, the lipid-water distribution coefficient, and the liver clearance. On the one hand, by optimizing the unbound ratio of compounds, ignoring the inert components of environmental endocrine disruptors that bind to plasma proteins, and only considering the active components that are not bound to plasma proteins after entering the fish, the toxic effects of the target site concentration of environmental endocrine disruptors on fish can be accurately simulated, further improving the accuracy of predicting the concentration of environmental endocrine disruptors in fish; on the other hand, by optimizing the lipid-water distribution coefficient, dissociable and non-dissociable environmental endocrine disruptors are considered separately. For dissociable compounds, the pH-dependent lipid-water distribution coefficient is used instead of the general n-octanol-water distribution coefficient, which can clearly reflect the dissociation behavior of chemical substances, further improving the accuracy of predicting the concentration of environmental endocrine disruptors in fish; on the other hand, it is very difficult to carry out extensive experiments on the determination of the liver clearance rate of chemical substances, and the liver clearance rate of most chemical substances in fish is still unclear. Based on the product of the rate constant related to mass and temperature and the apparent distribution volume, the liver clearance rate is optimized, which can avoid a large number of in vitro metabolism experiments and accurately characterize the metabolism of substances in the liver.
[0179] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, in this embodiment, the process of evaluating the second physiological toxicokinetic model is introduced in detail, as follows:
[0180] S301: Input the specific physiological parameters of the target fish, the specific physicochemical parameters of the target compound and the toxicokinetic parameters into the second physiological toxicokinetic model to output the predicted concentration of the target compound in each compartment of the fish.
[0181] Specifically, specific physiological parameters of the target fish, specific physicochemical parameters of the target compound, and toxicokinetic parameters are input into the second physiological toxicokinetic model, and the predicted concentration of the target compound in each compartment of the fish is output.
[0182] S302: Evaluate the second physiological toxicokinetic model based on the predicted concentration and the measured concentration.
[0183] In this example, the second physiological toxicokinetic model was evaluated by the root mean square error and the coefficient of determination based on the logarithmic values of the predicted concentration and the measured concentration.
[0184] Alternatively, an acceptable standard for model validation performance may be considered, that is, the deviation multiple of the predicted concentration and the measured concentration is within 10. The deviation multiple refers to the ratio of the predicted concentration to the measured concentration. In the field of physiological toxicokinetic models, a deviation multiple within 10 times the deviation indicates that the model prediction effect is good, and the smaller the deviation multiple, the better the model prediction effect.
[0185] In this embodiment, the predicted concentration of the second physiological toxicokinetic model is compared with the in vivo experimental data of various chemical substances published in the ecotoxicology database and literature to perform the forward dosimetry model validation. Specifically, in the forward dosimetry validation, the second physiological toxicokinetic model is evaluated by comparing the measured concentrations of non-dissociable chemical substances, dissociable chemical substances, and pesticides with the predicted concentrations.
[0186] refer to Figure 4a , 4b , 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, the predicted concentrations of dissociable chemical substances in different compartments are compared with the measured concentrations, and are presented in the form of a coordinate graph, where the horizontal axis represents the logarithm of the measured concentration and the vertical axis represents the logarithm of the predicted concentration. Among them, line A indicates that the predicted concentration of the dissociable chemical substance deviates by 10 times from the measured concentration, line B indicates that the predicted concentration of the dissociable chemical substance deviates by 5 times from the measured concentration, and line C indicates that the predicted concentration of the dissociable chemical substance is the same as the measured concentration.
[0187] Figure 4a Schematic diagram showing the comparison between the predicted concentrations of dissociable chemicals in the brain predicted by the initial physiological toxicokinetic model and the measured concentrations; Figure 4a As shown, the deviation multiples between the predicted concentrations and the measured concentrations of 21.43% of the dissociable chemical substances are within 10 times. Figure 4b The figure is a comparison diagram of the predicted concentration of the dissociable chemical substance in the brain by the second physiological toxicokinetic model and the measured concentration; Figure 4b As shown in the figure, the deviation multiples between the predicted concentrations and the measured concentrations of 92.86% of the dissociable chemical substances are within 5 times. Therefore, it can be seen that the prediction effect of the second physiological toxicokinetic model is better.
[0188] Figure 5a Schematic diagram showing the comparison between the predicted concentrations of dissociable chemicals in the gastrointestinal tract predicted by the initial physiological toxicokinetic model and the measured concentrations; Figure 5a As shown, the deviation between the predicted concentration and the measured concentration of 28.57% of the dissociable chemical substances is within 10 times. Figure 5b The figure is a comparison diagram of the predicted concentration of the dissociable chemical substance in the gastrointestinal tract by the second physiological toxicokinetic model and the measured concentration; Figure 5b As shown, the deviation multiples between the predicted concentrations and the measured concentrations of 85.71% of the dissociable chemical substances are within 5 times. Therefore, it can be seen that the prediction effect of the second physiological toxicokinetic model is better.
[0189] Figure 6aSchematic diagram showing the comparison between the predicted concentrations of the dissociable chemical substances in the liver and the measured concentrations predicted by the initial physiological toxicokinetic model; Figure 6a As shown, the deviation between the predicted concentration and the measured concentration of 28.57% of the dissociable chemical substances is within 10 times. Figure 6b The figure is a comparison diagram of the predicted concentration of the dissociable chemical substance in the liver by the predicted concentration of the second physiological toxicokinetic model and the measured concentration; Figure 6b As shown, the deviation multiples between the predicted concentrations and the measured concentrations of 85.71% of the dissociable chemical substances are within 5 times. Therefore, it can be seen that the prediction effect of the second physiological toxicokinetic model is better.
[0190] In this embodiment, the deviation multiple between the predicted concentration and the measured concentration of the non-dissociable chemical substance by the second physiological toxicokinetic model is within 5 times, the determination coefficient is high, which is 0.88, and the root mean square error is low, which is 0.09.
[0191] In summary, by comparing the predicted concentrations using the initial physiological toxicokinetic model with the measured concentrations, and by comparing the predicted concentrations using the second physiological toxicokinetic model with the measured concentrations, it can be seen that the performance of the second physiological toxicokinetic model is better, thereby further improving the accuracy of the concentrations predicted by the second physiological toxicokinetic model.
[0192] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, in this embodiment, the parameter sensitivity of the second physiological toxicokinetic model is introduced in detail, as follows:
[0193] In this embodiment, through sensitivity analysis, the normalized dimensionless sensitivity coefficients after the parameters in the second physiological toxicokinetic model change are obtained.
[0194] Among them, the normalized dimensionless sensitivity coefficient is mainly used in the sensitivity analysis of the second physiological toxicokinetic model. Through sensitivity analysis, the parameters that have the greatest impact on the accuracy of the second physiological toxicokinetic model can be identified to ensure the accuracy of the parameter as much as possible when collecting parameters.
[0195] Optionally, a local sensitivity analysis of multiple parameters is performed using the FME (Fast Model Evaluation) package of the R language to evaluate the effect of parameter perturbations on the output of the second physiological toxicokinetic model. Chemical substances with different n-octanol-water partition coefficient values, 0.89≤logKow≤5.48, are run through the second physiological toxicokinetic model using zebrafish to obtain differences in sensitivity parameters of different chemicals of the same species.
[0196] Optionally, TNBP and BPA are selected as target compounds, and the second physiological toxicokinetic model is run on different compounds to obtain the differences in sensitivity parameters of different species for the same compound.
[0197] Specifically, the sensitivity analysis formula is:
[0198]
[0199] In the formula, S ij represents the normalized dimensionless sensitivity coefficient, Represents the output variable value, represents the input parameter value, Δθ j Indicates the input parameter change value, Δy i Indicates the change value of the output variable.
[0200] In summary, by obtaining the normalized dimensionless sensitivity coefficients of the parameters in the second physiological toxicokinetic model after changes in them through sensitivity analysis, the parameters that have the greatest impact on the accuracy of the second physiological toxicokinetic model can be identified to ensure that the accuracy of the parameters is guaranteed as much as possible when the parameters are collected, thereby further improving the accuracy of the predicted concentrations of the second physiological toxicokinetic model.
