| 상호 작용 | The pyrones, 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyrone (maltol) and 3-hydroxy-2-ethyl-4-pyrone (ethyl maltol) chelate iron with a high affinity and selectivity. The resulting 1:3 (metal-ligand) complexes, being neutral, are able to partition readily across cell membranes and thus may facilitate iron transport across the intestinal wall. Absorption of radioactive iron ((59)Fe) in the presence of these pyrones was investigated in male rats 1, 2, 4 and 6 hr after intraduodenal administration of a 7 micrograms dose and compared with that of (59)Fe given as the sulfate, gluconate, fumarate or complexed to EDTA. Total body absorption and distribution were calculated from the (59)Fe content of various tissue samples. With all the iron preparations used, blood levels of (59)Fe were highest 1 hr after injection whilst the (59)Fe content at the major site of deposition, i.e. the bone marrow, increased up to 6 hr. No (59)Fe was found in the urine. Total body absorption of (59)Fe was significantly higher from the pyrones than from the other four preparations. Over the dose range 0.7-700 micrograms, the proportion of (59)Fe absorbed from both iron maltol and iron sulphate decreased with increasing dose. Enhanced (59)Fe uptake from maltol was evident at 0.7-70 micrograms but not at 700 micrograms suggesting that use of these pyrones will not result in iron overload. Absorption of (59)Fe given into the stomach was slower in onset but was sustained longer presumably via a steady delivery of iron to the duodenum from the gastric reservoir.Neurofilamentous tangles have been induced in cultured neurons from rat brain hemispheres by application of both aluminum and maltol. Quantitative evaluation revealed a significantly higher percentage of tangle containing neurons when using the aluminum-maltol mixture than after application of aluminum alone. Tangles were found to be consistently stained with monoclonal antibodies to neurofilament proteins but failed to react with polyclonal antibodies against microtubule-associated proteins 1, 2 and tau.Aluminum (Al) has been observed to cause neurofilament protein accumulation in both experimental animals and cultured cells. Impairment of axonal transport is thought to be a mechanism of toxicity. Inhibition of the degradation of neurofilament proteins, however, resulting in accumulation of these proteins may be an alternative mechanism for Al toxicity. In the present study, the effect of calcium (Ca) on the proteolysis of the neurofilament triplet proteins by calcium-activated neutral proteases (CANP) was studied in the isolated sciatic nerve explants. The extent of the degradation was found to be dependent on the Ca concentration. The effect of Al chloride, -citrate and -maltol on the calcium-induced degradation was studied. No effect of any of the Al compounds was observed, suggesting that the metal may exert its neurotoxic effect via a mechanism other than impairment of neurofilament proteolysis. Maltol itself was found to enhance the effect of Ca on the degradation of neurofilament proteins, probably by facilitating the movement of Ca across the neuronal membrane.Deposition of aluminum in the body is responsible for the development of dialysis-related diseases in patients with renal dysfunction and may play a role in the development of certain neurodegenerative disorders. Although citric acid is known to be a strong enhancer of gastrointestinal absorption of aluminum, its effect on aluminum distribution and accumulation is not yet clear. Maltol has been shown to increase the neurotoxicity of aluminum, but little is known about its effect on aluminum deposition in the body. To elucidate the role of citric acid and maltol in aluminum accumulation and toxicity, rats were loaded intraperitoneally during a 7-day period with different amounts of aluminum chloride in absence or presence of citric acid or maltol before analysis of aluminum in serum, brain, bone, and urine. Coadministration of citric acid led to relatively reduced serum levels, as compared with aluminum and aluminum-maltol treatment. This is explained by both tissue elimination and enhanced renal elimination. ... Maltol was shown to be a strong enhancer of aluminum accumulation in serum, brain, and bone. The rise of aluminum in these target tissues was dose dependent.For more Interactions (Complete) data for Maltol (7 total), please visit the HSDB record page. |
| 환경 거동 | TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 1(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that maltol is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of maltol from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 5.0X10-9 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its extrapolated vapor pressure, 3.26X10-4 mm Hg(2), and water solubility, 1.09X10+4 mg/L(3). Maltol is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its extrapolated vapor pressure(2)however, maltol does have a characteristic fragrant odor(4) even though it exists as a solid. Biodegradation data in soil were not available(SRC, 2016).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 1(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that maltol is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 5.0X10-9 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its extrapolated vapor pressure, 3.26X10-4 mm Hg(2), and water solubility, 1.09X10+4 mg/L(4). According to a classification scheme(5), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from its log Kow of 0.09(6) and a regression-derived equation(2), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Biodegradation data in water were not available(SRC, 2016). Maltol is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions(3). Maltol is an olefinic compound and olefins in surface waters exposed to sunlight react with photo-oxidants with a half-life on the order of 25 days(7).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), maltol, which has an extrapolated vapor pressure of 3.26X10-4 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase maltol is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC)the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 7.7 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 5.0X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(2). Vapor-phase maltol is also degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with ozone(SRC)the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 21 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 1.3X10-17 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(2). Maltol absorbs at wavelengths >290 nm(3) and, therefore, may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC). |
| 식품 조사 수치 | Maltol has been reportedly been found in wheat and rye bread, milk, butter, smoked pork, beer, cocoa, coffee, roasted barley, filberts, peanuts, soybean, beans, tamarind, licorice, sake, dried bonito, clam and cocoa butter(1). A maltol concentration of 490 ug/kg was detected in microwave-oven popcorn(2). Volatiles emitted from rice cakes from two commercial companies contained maltol levels of 29 and 60 ppb respectively(3). Maltol was identified at concentrations ranging from 35.5 to 209 ug/L in red wines aged in wooden barrels(4). Maltol was identified in volatiles from roasted chestnuts(5). The volatile compounds extracted from the red-skinned cultivar of rambutan, Jitlee (Nephelium lappaceum L.), a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia, contained a maltol concentration of 53.79 ug/L in the juice(6). |

| 독성 요약 | IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Maltol is a white crystalline powder. It is used as a flavoring agent, to impart "freshly baked" odor and flavor to breads and cakes. It is also used as medication. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: Maltol at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 1.5 umol/mL induced sister chromatid exchanges in human lymphocytes. It was suggested that these results were due to an indirect action of maltol and not to its direct reactivity with DNA. ANIMAL STUDIES: Eight female mice were fed a diet containing maltol at a level of 0.5% (w/w) for 21 weeks, calculated to provide an average daily intake of 750 mg/kg bw. At termination, no differences in general health, behavior, body-weight gain or relative liver weights were reported. Gross and microscopic examination revealed no histological abnormalities in the livers of the treated mice when compared with the controls. A three-generation study of reproductive toxicity was conducted, in which groups of 20 male and 20 female rats were given diets containing maltol at concentrations resulting in 100, 200 or 400 mg/kg bw per day. On day 134, animals of the F1 generation showed signs of sialodacryodenitis due to a contagious virus. No deaths occurred, and the signs diminished within 10 days. Maltol had no effect on copulation rate, mating viability index, lactation, offspring sex ratio or 21-day pup survival index. Maltol at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 1.5 umol/mL induced sister chromatid exchanges in Chinese hamster ovary cells. It was suggested that these results were due to an indirect action of maltol and not to its direct reactivity with DNA. Maltol was weakly mutagenic (two- to threefold increases in number of revertants) in Salmonella typhimurium TA100 at concentrations of 1-3 mg/plate either alone or with metabolic activation. Activity against TA98 was not detected. Maltol tested at concentrations of 0.1-10.0 mg/plate increased the number of revertants in strain TA97 at 1 mg/plate by about twofold. No incre |

| Human Toxicity Excerpts | /GENOTOXICITY/ Maltol at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 1.5 umol/mL induced sister chromatid exchanges in ... human lymphocytes. /It was/ suggested that these results were due to an indirect action of maltol and not to its direct reactivity with DNA./ALTERNATIVE and IN VITRO TESTS/ Maltol (3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyrone), a product of carbohydrate degradation, is known to enhance aluminum-induced neurofibrillary degeneration in neuronal systems, but few toxicological studies have been conducted. We report maltol toxicity in neuroblastoma cell lines of mouse (Neuro 2a) and human (IMR 32) origin, and in primary murine fetal hippocampal neuronal cultures. As determined by MTS [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2 -(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, inner salt] conversion, maltol exhibited a dose-dependent toxicity on the viability of both neuroblastoma cell lines, but the toxicity was more pronounced in Neuro 2a cells. Maltol was also toxic in a dose-dependent manner in primary murine fetal hippocampal neurons at micromolar concentrations. Electrophoresis of DNA extracted from maltol-intoxicated cells showed a laddering pattern, suggestive of apoptotic cell death. In the maltol-exposed hippocampal neuronal cultures, fragmented DNA ends were visualized in situ in morphologically condensed nuclei by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase with digoxigenin-labelled UTP and subsequent immunohistochemistry. Collectively, our findings suggest that the toxic effect of maltol is mediated through apoptosis. .../ALTERNATIVE and IN VITRO TESTS/ Hydroxyketone chelators, deferiprone (HK1), maltol (HK3) and their related compounds (HK2, 4-8), were characterized for their cytotoxic profiles against oral human normal and tumor cells. ... The cytotoxic activity of ... /maltol/ was significantly increased by FeCl3. ... /Maltol/ did not induce DNA fragmentation in HL-60 cells, regardless of the presence or absence of FeCl3.

| Artificial Pollution Sources | Maltol's production and use as a flavoring agent to impart "freshly baked" odor and flavor to bread and cakes(1) and as a flavor enhancer in confections, cookies, ice cream, fruit juices, puddings, and beverages(2) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC). Maltol has been detected in emissions from burning wood(3) and in tobacco smoke and substitute-tobacco smoke(4). Maltol has use as a flavor chemical in electronic cigarette fluids(5). Maltol is produced when cellulose or starch is heated(6). |

제조 및 합성 방법
생산 방법
Maltol is mainly isolated from naturally occurring sources such as beechwood and other wood tars; pine needles; chicory; and the bark of young larch trees. It may also be synthesized by the alkaline hydrolysis of streptomycin salts or by a number of other synthetic methods.
제조 방법
Maltol may be produced synthetically starting from kojic acid . Alternatively, it can be isolated from beechwood tar or from extracts of needles from the genus Abies. Commercially available extracts fromAbies balsamea needles, which are also used as flavor and fragrance materials, usually contain 3–8% maltol. It is used in aroma compositions with a caramel note and as a taste intensifier in, for example, fruit flavors (particularly in strawberry flavor compositions).
