| Wechselwirkungen | IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT CARBARYL POTENTIATED TOXICITY OF BAYER 73 TO RAINBOW TROUT BY INCREASING ITS UPTAKE FROM WATER, POSSIBLY BY EFFECTS ON GILL BLOOD FLOW OR PERMEABILITY.Niclosamide can be admin in conjunction with several other drugs ... The effectiveness of niclosamide for tapeworms of mice is enhanced when it is given in conjunction with cucurbitine or procaine.... To study the in utero developmental toxicity of these cmpd, pregnant female Wistar Albino rats received 1/50 LD50 of ametryne and niclosamide either individually or in combination on gestational days 5-15 before they were /sacrificed/ on day 20. The results showed neither mortality nor clinical no ... adverse effects in the treated dams throughout the study period. Also, no overt preimplantation losses were noted. ... Corrected maternal wt gain was significantly reduced under the influence of ametryne treatment. Gravid uterine weight and litter size were statistically reduced in dams treated with ametryne or a combination of ametryne and niclosamide. The percentage of postimplantation deaths was significantly raised under the influence of ametryne treatment (21.15%) or the combined treatment (25.45%) compared with 6.48% in untreated rats and 15.6% in niclosamide treated dams. ... Fetal morphological abnormality examination showed a pronounced incr in incidence of malformed fetuses (litters) up to 5.8% (29.4%), 6.48% (33.3%), and 7.9% (33.3%) in ametryne, niclosamide and combination treated groups, respectively, compared with 1.6% (11.1%) in the control group. The most common deformities were skeletal abnormalities in all groups studied, while the ametryne group showed external deformities as well. The results suggest the possibility of embryo/fetotoxicity of ametryne and fetotoxicity of niclosamide, at least at higher doses. |

| Umweltverhalten | AQUATIC FATE: IT...PERSISTS /IN WATER/ FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. /ETHANOLAMINE SALT/TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a recommended classification scheme(1), measured Koc values from 946-1580(2) to 3111(3) (determined in sediment, pH 7.0, 20 °C) indicate that niclosamide will have low to slight mobility in soil(SRC). Results reported for water and sediment samples indicate that both aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation may be major fate processes for this compound in soil(3,SRC). Niclosamide degraded rapidly in pond and river sediments incubated under aerobic, static conditions with half-lives of 1.1 and 3.9 days, respectively(3). Niclosamide's values for vapor pressure(4) and Henry's Law constant(4,5,SRC) indicate that volatilization from dry and moist soil surfaces should not be a major fate process(SRC). Niclosamide will be susceptible to direct photolysis on soil surfacesdegradation was rapid when this compound was exposed to UV light on silica gel TLC plates and on glass slides. Less than 50% niclosamide remained after 24 hours and after 168 hours less than 5% of the parent compound remained(6).AQUATIC FATE: Intense sunlight, high pH (> 9.0), and the presence of sediment have been shown to reduce the efficacy of niclosamide treatments in water(1). Measured Koc values from 946-1580(2) to 3111(1) (determined in sediment, pH 7.0, 20 °C) indicate that niclosamide will adsorb strongly to suspended solids and sediment in the water column(1,2). Both aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation will be major fate processes for this compound in water(1,SRC). Niclosamide degraded rapidly in pond and river sediments incubated under aerobic, static conditions with half-lives of 1.1 and 3.9 days, respectively(1). Rapid disappearance of niclosamide from water above the sediment was also observed with half-lives of 3.1 and 0.83 days in water above pond and river sediment, respectively(1). 11.3, 7.2, 3.5, and 6.2% of the added 14C-niclosamide was present as CO2 after 32 days for cultures incubated under river sediment/aerobic, river sediment/anaerobic, pond sediment/aerobic, and pond sediment/anaerobic conditions, respectively(1). Aminoniclosamide is the major degradation product under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions(1).AQUATIC FATE: Niclosamide will not volatilize from water surfaces based on an estimated Henry's Law constant of 6.5X10-10 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), calculated from experimental values for vapor pressure(1) and water solubility(2). An estimated BCF value of 215(3,SRC), from a measured water solubility(2), suggests that niclosamide will bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms(SRC), according to a recommended classification scheme(4). Depuration of 14C-labeled niclosamide in rainbow trout occurred within 72 hours following exposure. Biliary concentration was high, reaching a 10,000:1 bile to water ratio within 24 hours(5). 14C-labeled niclosamide had a half-life of about 150 hours in water when it was exposed to ultraviolet light (>290 nm)(6).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a suggested classification scheme(1), a measured vapor pressure of 9.9X10-9 mm Hg at 25 °C(2) indicates that niclosamide will exist mainly in the particulate phase in the ambient atmosphere. Particulate-phase niclosamide may be physically removed from the air by dry deposition(SRC). Direct photolysis of niclosamide is indicated by experiments where this compound was spotted onto silica gel plates and exposed to UV lightless than 50% of the parent compound remained after 24 hours(3). |

| Toxizitätsübersicht | Niclosamide works by killing tapeworms on contact. Adult worms (but not ova) are rapidly killed, presumably due to uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation or stimulation of ATPase activity. The killed worms are then passed in the stool or sometimes destroyed in the intestine. Niclosamide may work as a molluscicide by binding to and damaging DNA. |
|---|
| Soil Adsorption/Mobility | The Koc of niclosamide is estimated as approximately 1600(SRC), using a measured water solubility of 6.5 mg/L(1) and a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that niclosamide has low mobility in soil(SRC). Adsorption of niclosamide by sediment reached equilibrium after 4-7.5 hours of shakingan average Koc value of 3111 +/- 1552 was measured using five different sediments (pH range = 6.8-7.8organic carbon = 1.9-9.2%)(4). Bottom sediment samples from 3 rivers in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan gave Koc values at 20 °C of 3510, 946, 766, and 77.9 at pH 6.5, 7, 8, and 9 for the Cedar River, 1210, 1570, 828, and 234 at the same pH values for the Ford River, and 1920, 1580, 532, and 131 at the same pH values for the Tahquamenon River(5). |

| Artificial Pollution Sources | Niclosamide's production and use as a medication (an anthelmintic)(1) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC). Its use as a molluscicide(1) will result in its direct release to the environment(SRC). |

| Environmental Biodegradation | A second order microbial transformation rate constant of 2.0X10-14 L/organism-hr was determined for niclosamide in natural pond waterdegradation was via microbially mediated hydrolysis of the amide(1). The biodegradability of niclosamide in soil was reported as extremely low(2). Niclosamide degraded rapidly in both pond and river sediments incubated under static conditions with half-lives of 1.1 and 3.9 days, respectively(3). Rapid disappearance of niclosamide from water above the sediment was also observed with half-lives of 3.1 and 0.83 days in water above pond and river sediment, respectively(3)degradation in autoclaved samples occurred at a very slow rate indicating a dependence on microbial activity. Aminoniclosamide is the major degradation product for this reaction, representing more than 50% of the extractable radioactivity(3). 11.3, 7.2, 3.5, and 6.2% of the added 14C-niclosamide was present as CO2 after 32 days for cultures incubated under river sediment/aerobic, river sediment/anaerobic, pond sediment/aerobic, and pond sediment/anaerobic conditions, respectivelyby 93 days, 37.7, 9.0, 6.8, and 8.7% of the total radioactivity for the same cultures was present as CO2(3). Aminoniclosamide was again the major degradation product detected in water and sediment extracts from this experimentmore aminoniclosamide was formed under anaerobic than aerobic conditions, especially during the first 64 days of incubation(3). |

| Carcinogen Classification | No indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC). |
|---|
| Environmental Bioconcentration | An estimated BCF value of 215 was calculated for niclosamide(SRC), using a water solubility of 6.5 mg/l(1) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms may be low(SRC). Depuration occurred within 72 hours for rainbow trout exposed to 14C-labeled niclosamide. Biliary concentration was high, reaching a 10,000:1 bile to water ratio in 24 hours. The metabolite formed was the glucuronide(4,5). |
|---|
| Volatilization from Water/Soil | The Henry's Law constant for niclosamide is estimated as 6.5X10-10 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) from its experimental values for vapor pressure, 9.9X10-9 mm Hg(1), and water solubility, 6.5 mg/L(2). This value indicates that niclosamide will be essentially nonvolatile from water surfaces(3,SRC). Niclosamide's values for vapor pressure(1) and Henry's Law constant(1,2,SRC) indicate that volatilization from dry and moist soil surfaces should not be a major fate process(SRC). |
