[1] Background
Steroids and other hormone active substances
� Natural steroids and their metabolites and conjugates, e.g. OH-metabolites and glucuronidated or sulphated conjugates
� Synthetic steroids, e.g. EE2, mestranol, hexestrol, boldenone, trenbolone, dexamethasone
� Hormoonesters, e.g. manmade esters from both natural and synthetic steroids
� Phytoestrogens (isoflavonoids)
� Chemicals, e.g. BPA, PCBs, pesticides, surfactants, plastics etc.
� Etc.

[1] Background
EU regulations I
� Directive 96/22/EC: Prohibits all substances having hormonal action
� Regulations EC 178/2002 and EC 882/2004: oblige the member states to identify emerging risks and use validated and accredited methods for control analysis

[1] Background
EU regulations II
� Directive 96/23/EC: banns the use of Group A substances
● Stilbenes, derivatives, salts and esters
● Antithyreogene compounds
● Steroids
● Resorcyclic Acid Lactones (including zeranol)
● ß-agonists
● Others, as mentioned in the Annex of Regulation EC 37/2010

[1] Background
How to obey to all these laws ?
� The only way is bioactivity screening combined with chemical analytical confirmation and identification using validated and accredited methods for both
� Or perhaps we should get rid of the laws. Would that be safe?

[1] Background
Transcriptional Activation (TA) bioassays (yeast or mammalian cell based)
� Detect all compounds (structures) that are able to activate the
receptor, e.g. the estrogen, androgen, progesterone,
glucocorticoid or thyroid receptor. As the main mode of action
of all active hormones is by activating their receptor, they fulfil
Directive 96/22/EC that prohibits all substances having
hormonal action
� Moreover, they are:
● Sensitive and specific
● Quick, simple and robust
● Applicable to urine, feed and preparations

[2] Relevance of using Bioassays
� SERMs and SARMs show their specific responses in these yeast hormone bioassays too
� Both the yeast estrogen and androgen bioassay were fully validated for both the screening of feed and calf urine samples (according to Directive 2002/657/EC and accredited ISO 17025)
� The yeast estrogen bioassay performed well in an inter-laboratory ring test with calf urine samples
� Was shown a cheap alternative for real practise: estrogen bioassay screening calf urine samples vs GC-MS analysis

[2] Relevance of using Bioassays
� Was validated by Waternet/Waterproef Laboratorium in The Netherlands for screening estrogens in water samples
� The yeast estrogen and androgen bioassay are successfully used at Ghent University for the screening of food supplements (including bio-directed identification)
� Both bioassays validated and used for calf urine and feed at the Polish RIKILT analogue Institute: National Veterinary Research Institute, Pulaway, Poland
� Both bioassays are being used for the screening of calf urine samples at the University of Veterinary Medicine, Turin, Italy

Gynaecomastia
�Batch #1 of the Prostasol capsules contained about 0.3 mg 17β-E2 equivalents per gram
�Batch #2 of the Prostasol capsules contained about 3.6 mg 17β-E2 equivalents per gram
�Batch #3 were recently released Prostasol tablets and contained no estrogenic compounds (below 5 ng 17β-E2 equivalents per gram)

[3] Screening and identification using Bioassays
and chemical methods
Gynaecomastia
� Male 60 years with prostate problems (elevated PSA level)
� Supplement positive in Bioassay screening
� High signals revealing high estrogenic activity
� Confirmation and identification using LC/TOF-MS and NMR
�Diethylstilbestrol (DES) Batch1: 0.9 mg DES/G and Batch 2:
4.1 mg DES/G
Combined methods of bioassay and chemical methods revealed
that the effects of Gynaecomastia where developed by
exposure to DES by the intake of a Chinese herbal supplement

[3] Screening and identification using Bioassays and
chemical methods
Dietary supplements
� Nicely validated bioassays for the detection of estrogens and androgens in calf urine and animal feed that can easily be introduced at any laboratory
� These assays have an added value compared to analytical screening alone
⇒However, bioassays can not operate on their own. Suspected samples need confirmation
⇒⇒⇒⇒ Bioassays and analytical methods are in this case complementary

Overall Conclusion
� In the case of “present / not present” screening a Bioassay can be an alternative for existing chemical methods
� But, to obey 96/23/EC and 96/22/EC Bioassays and the conventional chemical methods have to be combined
� Bioassays clearly have an added value to help EU member states obey the metioned EC directives
