Exposure of workers to isocyanates may result in irritation and/or sensitization of the respiratory tract. An immunologic mechanism for sensitization has been presented previously. This investigation explored whether, as a possible mechanism for the irritation reaction, the toxic respiratory effect of isocyanates might be due to their ability to inhibit cholinesterases. Hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), hexyl isocyanate (HI), and 2,6-toluene diisocyanate (2,6-TDI) were found to completely inhibit purified human serum cholinesterase when added at molar ratios of 4:1 to 8:1 (isocyanate:enzyme). By contrast, molar ratios of 50:1 or greater were required for 50% enzyme inhibition by 2,4-toluene diisocyanate (2,4-TDI), phenyl isocyanate, or o-tolyl isocyanate. Enzyme inhibition was also achieved by exposure of purified cholinesterase to atmospheres containing 1 ppm isocyanates. Under these conditions, HDI and HI were again the most potent enzyme inhibitors with much less reactivity shown by 2,4-TDI and 2,6-TDI. Under more physiologic conditions, when whole human plasma was the source of cholinesterase, HDI and HI were still potent enzyme inhibitors. However, with the latter two isocyanates, the molar concentrations needed to effect 50% enzyme inhibition suggested affinity labeling by these reagents. The potent cholinesterase inhibition shown by HDI and HI may offer explanation for observed respiratory symptomatology noted upon exposure to these isocyanates.
