As highly toxic nitrogenous disinfection byproducts (DBPs), monohaloacetamides (monoHAcAms) generally exhibited a cytotoxic rank order of iodoacetamide Ë bromoacetamide Ë chloroacetamide. However, the mechanisms underlying the halogen-dependent cytotoxic pattern remain largely veiled as yet. In this work, oxidative stress/damage levels in monoHAcAm-treated Chinese hamster ovary cells were thoroughly analyzed, and binding interactions between monoHAcAms and antioxidative enzyme Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD) were investigated by multiple spectroscopic techniques and molecular docking. Upon exposure to monoHAcAms, the intracellular levels of key biomarkers associated with oxidative stress/damage, including reactive oxygen species, malondialdehyde, lactate dehydrogenase, 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine, cell apoptosis, and G1 cell cycle arrest, were all significantly increased in a dose-response manner with the same halogen-dependent rank order as their cytotoxicity. Moreover, this rank order was also determined to be applicable to the monoHAcAm-induced alterations in the conformation, secondary structure, and activity of Cu/Zn-SOD, the microenvironment surrounding aromatic amino acid residues in Cu/Zn-SOD, as well as the predicted binding energy of SOD-monoHAcAm interactions. Our results revealed that the halogen-dependent cytotoxic pattern of monoHAcAms was attributed to their differential capacity to induce oxidative stress/damage and their interaction with antioxidative enzyme, which contribute to a better understanding of the halogenated DBP-induced toxicological mechanisms.
