| Wechselwirkungen | Use of pesticides or insecticides can be highly toxic to aquatic life forms due to leaching and agricultural runoff, rains or flood. Fipronil(FP) is a GABA receptor inhibitor, while buprofezin (BPFN) is an insect growth regulator. Presently, we exposed groups of aquaria acclimated carp fish (Cyprinus carpio) for 96 hr to sub-lethal concentrations of fipronil (400 ug/L9.15 x 10(-7) mol/L) and buprofezin (BPFN, 100 mg/L1.072 x 10(-6) mol/L) singly or in combination. The extent of damage was assessed at biochemical, hematological, molecular biological and histopathological level. Results obtained in treated fish were compared statistically with those of control non-treated fish and also among treatment groups. Significance level was p<0.05. Compared to control, serum total protein and globulin concentrations decreased significantly (p<0.0001) in fish treated with FPwhile albumin concentration remained unaltered with all treatments. Glucose concentration decreased significantly (p<0.002) in fish treated with FP. In contrast, combined FP+BPFN treatment and BPFN treatment caused insignificant elevation of glucose concentration. Hematological assessment demonstrated significant decrease in red blood cell and thrombocyte counts, hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit percentwhile white blood cell count showed an increase in all treatment groups (p<0.0001). Blood smears from pesticide treated fish revealed aberrant erythrocyte morphologies which included necrosis, micronuclear formation and hyperchromatosis. DNA laddering assay carried out on whole blood demonstrated excessive smear formation in combined FP+BPFN and BPFN treatment groups but no smear formation was noticeable in FP treated fish. Compared to control, whole blood DNA content increased significantly in the combined FP+BPFN and BPFN treatment groups (p<0.001 and p<0.009). With all treatments histopathological changes observed in the gills were: epithelial uplifting and necrosis of lamellae, lamellar atroThe effects of fipronil and fluoride co-exposure were investigated on antioxidant status of buffalo calves. A total of 24 healthy male buffalo calves divided into 4 groups were treated for 98 consecutive days. Group I, receiving no treatment, served as the control. Animals of groups II and III were orally administered with fipronil at the dosage of 0.5 mg/kg/day and sodium fluoride (NaF) at the dosage of 6.67 mg/kg/day, respectively, for 98 days. Group IV was coadministered with fipronil and NaF at the same dosages as groups II and III. Administration of fipronil alone produced significant elevation in lipid peroxidation (LPO) and decrease in the levels of nonenzymatic antioxidant glutathione (GSH). However, it did not produce any significant effect on the activities of enzymatic antioxidants including glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD). NaF exposure led to enhanced oxidative stress as shown by significant increase in the LPO and SOD activities while GPx and CAT activities and GSH levels were significantly decreased. Co-exposure to fipronil and NaF showed additive effects on LPO, GPx activity, and GSH levels.Fipronil is a relatively new insecticide of the phenpyrazole group. Fipronil-induced effects on antioxidant system and oxidative stress biomarkers are yet to be studied in vivo. The present study was undertaken to evaluate fipronil-induced alterations in the blood biochemical markers and tissue antioxidant enzymes after oral exposure in mice and to explore possible protective effect of pre-treatment of antioxidant vitamins against these alterations. Mice were divided into eight groups containing control, test and amelioration groups. Mice in the test groups were exposed to different doses of fipronil, i.e., 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg bw, respectively for 28 days. Mice in the amelioration groups were treated with vitamin E or vitamin C (each at 100 mg/kg) 2 hr prior to high dose (10 mg/kg) of fipronil. Fipronil exposure at three doses caused significant increase in the blood biochemical markers, lipid peroxidation and prominent histopathological alterationswhile level of antioxidant enzymes was severely decreased both in kidney and brain tissues. Prior administration of vitamin E or vitamin C in the fipronil exposed mice led to decrease in lipid peroxidation and significant increase in activities of antioxidants, viz., glutathione, total thiol, superoxide dismutase and catalase. Vitamin E and vitamin C administration in fipronil exposed mice also improved histological architecture of the kidney and brain when compared with fipronil alone treated groups. Thus, results of the present study demonstrated that in vivo fipronil exposure induces oxidative stress and pre-treatment with vitamin E or C can protect mice against this oxidative insult. |

| Umweltverhalten | TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), Koc values of 825 to 6863(2-3), indicate that fipronil is expected to have low to no mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of fipronil from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 8.4X10-10 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), based upon its vapor pressure, 2.78X10-9 mm Hg(4), and water solubility, 1.9 mg/L(4). Fipronil is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(4). Photolytic half-lives in three soil types for fipronil were calculated as 147, 178 and 217 hours from experimental rate constants of 0.0047/hr, 0.0039/hr and 0.0032/hr, respectively(3). Fipronil is expected to biodegrade in soil based upon studies showing estimated degradation half-lives of 25.1 to 91.2 days in three sediments under aerobic conditions and 4.6 to 18.5 days for the same sediments under anaerobic conditions(5).TERRESTRIAL FATE: The nitrile group of fipronil may undergo hydrolysis to the corresponding amide metabolite by chemical or biological processes(1). It has been reported that in acidic soil, the amide metabolite results more from biological activity rather than chemical hydrolysis(1). Oxidation of fipronil to the corresponding sulfone can result from biological or chemical processeshowever, studies indicate that the major degradation process was probably a chemical transformation(1).TERRESTRIAL FATE: Fipronil residues at two different application rates were studied in vineyards. The sum of fipronil residues in grape leaves, grape berries and in the soil were reported (mg/kg)(1). Fipronil concentration was below detection limit (0.01 mg/kg) at harvest time, 60 days after the last insecticide application, in leaves, grapes and in soil(1).Table: Residues recovered (mg/kg) [Table#6679]AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), Koc values of 825 to 6863(2-3), indicate that fipronil is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(4) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 8.4X10-10 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 2.78X10-9 mm Hg(5), and water solubility, 1.9 mg/L(5). According to a classification scheme(6), a whole body BCF in bluegill of 321(7), suggests bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC). Fipronil is stable to hydrolysis at pH 5.5 and pH 7, but has a hydrolysis half-life of 28 days at pH 9(5). An aqueous photolytic half-life for fipronil was calculated as 4.1 hours, from its experimental rate constant of 0.17/hr(3). Fipronil is expected to biodegrade in water based upon studies showing estimated degradation half-lives of 25.1 to 91.2 days in three sediments under aerobic conditions and 4.6 to 18.5 days for the same sediments under anaerobic conditions(8).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), fipronil, which has a vapor pressure of 2.78X10-9 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely in the particulate phase in the ambient atmosphere. Particulate-phase fipronil may be removed from the air by wet and dry deposition(SRC). |

| Toxizitätsübersicht | IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Fipronil is a solid. Fipronil is a pyrazole acaricide and insecticide that may be used for insect, tick, lice, and mite control on pets. HUMAN STUDIES: Most cases of exposure (89%) had mild, temporary health effects. Neurological symptoms (50%) such as headache, dizziness, and paresthesia were the most common, followed by ocular (44%), gastrointestinal (28%), respiratory (27%), and dermal (21%) symptoms. Exposures usually occurred from inadvertent spray/splash/spill of products or inadequate ventilation of the treated area before re-entry. Fipronil was tested in an in vitro cytogenetics assay using human lymphocyte cultures. No increase in chromosome aberrations was reported at any dose level. However, in an alkaline comet assay fipronil induced DNA damage in human peripheral blood lymphocytes in vitro. ANIMAL STUDIES: No skin irritation was observed in rabbits. In studies with female rats, the clinical signs of toxicity did not reach their peak until 2 days after treatment in some animals, and deaths did not occur until 4 days after treatment. Some signs of toxicity and body-weight loss were still evident when the observation period ended at day 7 after treatment. Since these findings suggested that bioaccumulation of the test material could occur, a 5-day study with cumulative treatment was performed in which groups of 4 female rats were given fipronil at 75 mg/kg bw/day orally for up to 5 days. Clinical signs of neurotoxicity were seen after administration of 2 doses, and 3 of 4 rats died after admin of 3 or 4 doses. In the only rat that survived the study, abnormal behavioral responses persisted until 6 days after administration of the final dose, at which time it had regained most of its pretreatment weight. A commercial product that contains fipronil was administered orally to pregnant Wistar rats at dosages of 0.1, 1.0, or 10.0 mg/kg/day from the 6th to the 20th day of gestation. The fipronil caused a disturbance of the maternal aggreFipronil blocks the passage of chloride ions through the GABA-regulated chloride channel, disrupting CNS activity. (T10) Organic nitriles decompose into cyanide ions both in vivo and in vitro. Consequently the primary mechanism of toxicity for organic nitriles is their production of toxic cyanide ions or hydrogen cyanide. Cyanide is an inhibitor of cytochrome c oxidase in the fourth complex of the electron transport chain (found in the membrane of the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells). It complexes with the ferric iron atom in this enzyme. The binding of cyanide to this cytochrome prevents transport of electrons from cytochrome c oxidase to oxygen. As a result, the electron transport chain is disrupted and the cell can no longer aerobically produce ATP for energy. Tissues that mainly depend on aerobic respiration, such as the central nervous system and the heart, are particularly affected. Cyanide is also known produce some of its toxic effects by binding to catalase, glutathione peroxidase, methemoglobin, hydroxocobalamin, phosphatase, tyrosinase, ascorbic acid oxidase, xanthine oxidase, succinic dehydrogenase, and Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase. Cyanide binds to the ferric ion of methemoglobin to form inactive cyanmethemoglobin. (L97) |
| Ökotoxizitätsauszüge | /BIRDS and MAMMALS/ Fipronil is an insecticide commonly used in agriculture, but there are growing concerns over its environmental impacts (e.g., harmful effects on pollinators). Fipronil-treated seed ingestion might threaten granivorous farmland birds, in particular, Gallinaceous birds that are particularly sensitive to this insecticide. We report here on exposure risk and effects in a game bird of high socioeconomic importance, the red-legged partridge (Alectoris rufa). We fed captive birds with untreated maize (controls) or with a mixture of untreated-treated maize (ratio 80:20exposed birds) during 10 days at the beginning of the breeding period (n = 12 pairs in each group). We first show that exposed partridges did not reject treated seeds but reduced food intake and lost body condition. We further studied the effects of treated seed ingestion on adult survival, oxidative balance, plasma biochemistry, carotenoid-based coloration, cellular immune response, steroid hormone levels, and reproduction. Fipronil exposure altered blood biochemistry and sexual hormone levels and reduced cellular immune response, antioxidant levels, and carotenoid-based coloration. Exposed pairs also had reduced egg fecundation rate and produced eggs with fewer antioxidants and offspring that had reduced cellular immune response. These negative effects on adult partridges, their reproductive performance, and offspring quality highlight that fipronil-treated seed ingestion is a significant threat to wild birds./BIRDS and MAMMALS/ Two studies were carried out to examine the impact of maternal fipronil exposure on embryonic and offspring development. In the first study, breeding female zebra finches were orally dosed with single sublethal levels of fipronil (1, 5, and 10 mg/kg body weight) to determine behavioral and developmental consequences on chicks following maternal pesticide exposure. Significant levels of fipronil and fipronil-sulfone residues were detected in eggs laid by females in all dosed groups, however, these were undetectable in eggs laid 13 days after treatment. The level of sulfone detected in eggs was consistently higher than that of the parent fipronil compound. Of the seven eggs laid in the treatment groups, only one (14%) chick hatched and this was from the lowest dose group. This chick was severely underdeveloped at 10 days of age in comparison to control chicks and fiproles were detected in brain, liver, and adipose tissues collected following euthanasia of this individual. In contrast, there was 100% hatchability of control group eggs and all chicks fledged nests on schedule. In the second study, domestic chicken eggs were injected with 5.5, 17.5, and 37.5 mg/kg egg weight of fipronil directly into the yolk sac on day 12 of incubation. Treatment did not affect hatching success, however, behavioral and developmental abnormalities were observed in hatchlings from the highest dose group. These chicks also demonstrated reduced feeding rates, as indicated by reduced body mass at 48 hr period post hatch. Both fipronil and fipronil-sulfone residues were detected in brain and liver tissue of hatchlings at all pesticide dose levels tested./BIRDS and MAMMALS/ ... /Investigators/ examined the effects of a single oral dose of fipronil in northern bobwhite quail, the most fipronil-sensitive species tested to date, in respect to signs of intoxication and the metabolic fate of fipronil. Fipronil-treated birds did not eat or drink following pesticide administration, and as a result lost a significant amount of body mass. Treated birds also appeared withdrawn and did not respond to disturbance within the first hour after treatment. Identifiable signs of fipronil toxicity were not observed until at least 2 days after treatment. Chemical analyses indicated a difference between fipronil and fipronil-sulfone residue distribution and bioaccumulation, with significantly higher (30- to 1000-fold) tissue concentrations of the sulfone detected at all time points from 8 to 96 hr post-dose in brain, liver and adipose tissues. Tissue sulfone concentrations increased significantly in fipronil-treated birds, peaking at 72 hr post-dose. Body mass decreased at all time points in dosed birds. The coincidence of the particular intoxication symptoms with the time course of rise in brain sulfone levels after fipronil dosing gives insight into possible mechanisms of toxicity in this highly sensitive species./BIRDS and MAMMALS/ ... Fipronil /was/ administered via the diet to male red-winged blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus L), male and female brownheaded cowbirds, and female boat-tailed grackles (Quiscalus major Viellot). Fipronil was added to a rice seed medium at 0, 325, and 500 mg a.i./kg. Birds were allowed to feed at will from open cups of the treated diet. No adverse toxicological effects were noted and no reduction in food consumption (p>0.05) was noted for any species and any dose group.For more Ecotoxicity Excerpts (Complete) data for Fipronil (43 total), please visit the HSDB record page. |

Beschreibung
Fipronil is a white powder with a mouldy odour. It has a low solubility in water and is a slow-acting poison. It does not bind strongly with soil, and the half-life of fipronil– sulphone is 34 days. Fipronil is a broadspectrum insecticide of the phenylpyrazole group. Fipronil was first used extensively for the control of ants, beetles, cockroaches, fleas; ticks, termites, mole crickets, thrips, rootworms, weevils, flea of pets, field pest of corn, golf courses, and commercial turf, and other insects. Fipronil was first used in the United States in 1996. Fipronil is a topical insecticide. It kills adult fleas and larvae, ticks, and chewing lice. As a liquid, fipronil is applied on the back side skin of dogs and cats. Reports indicate that some animals do become hypersensitive (allergic) to fipronil.
Verwenden
Fipronil is used for the control of a wide range of insect species in rice, cereals, corn, cotton, top fruit, sugar beet, sugar cane, oilseed rape, many vegetables and other high-value crops. It also has a veterinary use as an ectoparasiticide.
