SI-2 SI-1 Chemicals and reagents Pooled HLMs (n=200, mixed gender, 20 mg/mL) and human liver cytosol (HLCYT) (n=50, mixed gender, 10 mg/mL) were obtained from Xenotech (Kansas City, USA). TCEP-d12 was custom synthesized by dr. Vladimir Belov (Max Planck Institute, Göttingen, Germany). DPHP-d10, 2,5uridinediphosphate glucuronic acid (UDPGA), adenosine-3′-phosphate 5′- phosphosulfate (PAPS, > 60 %) lithium salt hydrate, alamethicin (neat, > 98 %), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), phenacetin and 4nitrophenol (4-NP) were acquired from Sigma-Aldrich (Bornem, Belgium). TCIPP (analytical standard, purity > 99%) was obtained from LGC, Dr Ehrenstorfer (Augsburg, Germany). Acetonitrile (ACN, HPLC-grade) and methanol (MeOH, LC-MS grade, ≥99.9%) were purchased from Biosolve (Valkenswaard, the Netherlands). Nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) salt (97%), formic acid (>98%) and hydrochloric acid (37%) were obtained from Merck KGaA (Darmstadt, Germany). β-glucuronidase (lyophilized powder from Escherichia coli, >10 000 000 unit/g) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (Bornem, Belgium). Ultrapure water was obtained from a PURELAB Flex system (ρ=18.2 MΩ/cm, Elga Veolia, Tienen, Belgium). Trizma buffer (100 mM) was prepared by dissolving 12.2 g Trizma base and 1.02 g MgCl2 6 H2O in 1 L ultrapure water. The pH was adjusted to 7.4 by addition of 1 M HCl solution.

SI-21 Figure SI-18 Obtained calibration curve of 1-hydroxy-2-propyl bis (1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate (BCIPHIPP) for semiquantification of tris (1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TCIPP) metabolites. On the y-axis the ratio between the area of BCIPHIPP and the area of internal standard is displayed. On the x-axis the BCIPHIPP concentration can be seen. A linear calibration curve was constructed with the intercept forced through 0. The formula for the calibration curve was y=0.3853x (R2=0.9984) in which 0.3853 is the slope which was used as response factor for further calculations of carboxyethyl bis (1chloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TCIPP-M1) and 1-chloro-3-hydroxypropan-2-yl bis (1-chloropropan-2-yl) phosphate (TCIPPM3) concentrations.
