4 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
4.1 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Photosensitizing Agents

Drugs that are pharmacologically inactive but when exposed to ultraviolet radiation or sunlight are converted to their active metabolite to produce a beneficial reaction affecting the diseased tissue. These compounds can be administered topically or systemically and have been used therapeutically to treat psoriasis and various types of neoplasms. (See all compounds classified as Photosensitizing Agents.)


4.2 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

The percutaneous absorption of benzophenone was determined in vivo in monkeys. Absorption through occluded skin was approximately 70% of the applied dose in 24 hr. Under unoccluded conditions skin penetration was reduced to 44%, presumably because of evaporation from the site of application.

/The authors/ gave /benzophenone/ orally ... (100 or 400 mg/kg) ... once per day for 3 days, to ovariectomized Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, and all rats were killed 24 h after being given the last dose. ... At 24 hr after the last dose, the mean serum concentrations of benzophenone, benzhydrol and p-hydroxybenzophenone in the high-dosed rats were 10.4+/-1.0, 1.5+/-0.3, and 0.7+/-0.2 (mean +/- SE) umol/L, respectively, whereas in the serum of low-dosed rats these compounds were not detected. When a single oral administration of benzophenone (100 or 400 mg/kg) was given to intact female rats, serum concentrations of benzophenone, benzhydrol and p-hydroxybenzophenone increased in a dose-dependent manner 6 hr later. ...

... The percutaneous absorption of the fragrances benzyl acetate and five other benzyl derivatives (benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, benzamide, benzoin and benzophenone) was determined in vivo in monkeys. Absorption through occluded skin was high for all cmpd (approx 70% of the applied dose in 24 hr) and no significant differences between the values for the different cmpd were observed. No correlations were seen between skin penetration of these cmpd and their octanol-water partition coefficients. Under unoccluded conditions skin penetration of the fragrances was reduced and there was great variability between cmpd, presumably because of variations in the rates of evaporation from the site of application.

4.3 Metabolism/Metabolites

In male Sprague-Dawley rats that received benzophenone by gavage, 1% of the administered dose was detected as p-hydroxybenzophenone in enzymetreated urine samples, but not in unhydrolyzed urine (Stocklinski et al., 1979). No p-hydroxybenzophenone was detected in the feces.

The results from recent studies show that some benzophenones (BPs) and their hydroxylated metabolites can function as weak estrogens (E2) in the environment. However, little is known about the structure-activity relationship of these molecules. We have examined the effects of exposure to ten different BPs on the proliferation of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer cells and on the transcriptional activity of E2-target genes. We analyzed two genes that are tightly linked with estrogen-mediated proliferation, the CXCL12 and amphiregulin genes and two classical estrogen-responsive genes, the pS2 and progesterone receptor. Significant differences in the BPs efficiency to induce cell proliferation and endogenous E2-target gene expressions were observed. Using ERE-, Sp1-, AP1- and C3-reporter genes that contain different ER-binding sites in their promoter, we also showed significant differences in the BPs efficiency in activation of the ER transactivation. Together, our analyzes showed that the most active molecule is 4-hydroxy-BP. Docking analysis of the interaction of BPs in the ligand-binding pocket of ERa suggests that the minimum structural requirement for the estrogenic activity of BPs is a hydroxyl (OH) group in the phenyl A-ring that allows interaction with Glu-353, Arg-394 or Phe-404, which enhances the stability between BPs and ERa. Our modeling also indicates a loss of interaction between the OH groups of the phenyl B-ring and His-524. In addition, the presence of some OH groups in the phenyl B-ring can create repulsion forces, which may constrain helix 12 in an unfavorable position, explaining the differential estrogenic effects of BPs. These results, together with our analysis of BPs for their potency in activation of cell proliferation and ER-mediated transcription, report an improved understanding of the mechanism and structure-activity relationship of BPs. /benzophenones/

Benzophenone's main metabolic pathway in the rabbit is by reduction to benzhydrol, which is excreted in urine conjugated with glucoronic acid. Small amount (1%) is converted to p-hydroxybenzophenone following oral administration to rats. No p-hydroxybenzohydrol was detected in urine or feces.

Benzophenone is a known human metabolite of cinnarizine.
