Article Abstract
The known oxygenated polyhalogenated diphenyl ether, 2-(2',4'-dibromophenoxy)-3,5-dibromophenol (), with previously reported activity in multiple cytotoxicity assays was isolated from the sponge sp. and proved to be an amenable scaffold for semisynthetic library generation. The phenol group of was targeted to generate 12 ether analogues in low-to-excellent yields, and the new library was fully characterized by NMR, UV, and MS analyses. The chemical structures for , , and were additionally determined via single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. All natural and semisynthetic compounds were evaluated for their ability to inhibit the growth of DU145, LNCaP, MCF-7, and MDA-MB-231 cancer cell lines. Compound was shown to have near-equivalent activity compared to scaffold in two in vitro assays, and the activity of the compounds with an additional benzyl ring appeared to be reliant on the presence and position of additional halogens.

The emissions of polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbons released in the air from peatland fires pose significant environmental health hazards. The contribution of peatland fires to environmental pollution is increasing continually in Malaysia. The composition of the smoke emerging from such fires plays a pivotal role in elucidating health risks.

This study investigated the expediated transformation of halophenols in the presence of nitrite (NO) under slightly acidic conditions in ice, whereas such transformation was negligible in liquid water at 4 °C. We proposed that this phenomenon was attributed to the freeze-concentration effect, incurring a pH drop and the aggregation of NO and halophenols within the liquid-like grain boundary layer amid ice crystals. Within this micro-environment, NO underwent protonation to generate reactive nitrous acid (HNO) and nitrosonium ions (NO) that facilitate the nitration and oxidation of halophenols.

Gas chromatography with electron capture negative ion mass spectrometry (GC/ECNI-MS) was used to quantify and compare halogenated natural products (HNPs) and selected anthropogenic persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in individual samples of 17 fish species from the Seychelles (Western Indian Ocean). The sum-HNP amounts (9.5-1100 ng/g lipid mass (lm)) were between 1 and 2 orders of magnitude higher than those of the sum of seven abundant polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners (0.

Fish are an important pollution indicator for biomonitoring of halogenated organic compounds (HOCs) in aquatic environments, and HOCs in fish may pose health threats to consumers. This study performed nontarget and comprehensive analyses of HOCs in fish from an e-waste recycling zone by gas chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry, and further prioritized their human exposure risks. A total of 1652 formulas of HOCs were found in the fish, of which 1222, 117, and 313 were organochlorines, organobromines, and organochlorine-bromines, respectively.
