    Abstract: Benzophenones (BPs) are widely used as photoinitiators (PIs) or printing inks in food packaging, which may migrate into foods. However, the toxicity information of some BP analogues, such as 4,4'-bis(diethylamino)-benzophenone (DEAB), 4-phenylbenzophenone (4-PBP), 4 (hydroxymethyl)benzophenone (4-HMBP), those are used as PIs is lacking. Developmental toxicity is a health concern associated with PIs exposure. Recently, alternative non-in vivo methods have been proposed to evaluate the concerned chemicals or better understand the modes of action of certain toxicological endpoints. In this study, using in silico methods, we predicted that BP, DEAB, 4-PBP and 4-HMBP might exhibit developmental toxicity. However, we found that only DEAB is strong embryotoxic and disturbs the early differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells into three germ layers and cardiomyocytes. DEAB treatment also prevented cardiomyocyte differentiation in human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) on day 10. However, BP, 4-PBP and 4-HMBP had no similar effects on cardiomyocyte differentiation on day 10. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that treatment with DEAB significantly decreased the mRNA levels of differentiation-related transcription factors SOX17 and FOXA1, in hiPSCs on day 4. Furthermore, DEAB treatment caused tail malformations and yolk sac edema in zebrafish embryos. To conclude, DEAB may be embryotoxic because it disturbs the early differentiation of stem cells. Further studies are warranted to better understand the health effects of DEAB exposure.
