Objective: To study transplacental transfer and biotransformation of genistein in the human placenta. Study design and outcomes: Human placentae obtained from healthy term singleton pregnancies were utilised in a dual re-circulating model of ex-vivo placental perfusion. Four placentae were perfused for 180 min following addition of genistein (10 ng/mL) to the maternal perfusate. Antipyrine and FITC dextran were used as positive and negative controls respectively to validate integrity of the circuits. Concentrations of genistein and its conjugates were determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Results: The transfer percentage for antipyrine and genistein was 25.6 +/- 1.40% and 22.1 +/- 1.61% respectively and the transfer index for genistein was 0.90 +/- 0.04 after 180 min of perfusion. 12.0 +/- 2.40% of genistein in the fetal compartment and 7.36 +/- 4.73% of genistein in the maternal compartment were in the conjugated form. Conclusions: Genistein can transfer across the human placenta at environmentally relevant levels. Placental metabolizing enzymes conjugate a small fraction of genistein into the glucuronide/sulphate form, which is devoid of estrogenic action. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
