| Reaktive Gruppe | Amides and Imides |
| Reactivity Profile | A halogenated amide. Organic amides/imides react with azo and diazo compounds to generate toxic gases. Flammable gases are formed by the reaction of organic amides/imides with strong reducing agents. Amides are very weak bases (weaker than water). Imides are less basic yet and in fact react with strong bases to form salts. That is, they can react as acids. Mixing amides with dehydrating agents such as P2O5 or SOCl2 generates the corresponding nitrile. The combustion of these compounds generates mixed oxides of nitrogen (NOx). |

| Wechselwirkungen | Triclocarban (TCC) is an antimicrobial agent routinely detected in surface waters that has been hypothesized to interact with the vertebrate endocrine system. The present study examined the effects of TCC alone and in combination with the model endocrine disruptor 17beta-trenbolone (TRB) on fish reproductive function. Adult Pimephales promelas were continuously exposed to either 1 ug TCC/L or 5 ug TCC/L, to 0.5 ug TRB/L, or to a mixture (MIX) of 5 ug TCC/L and 0.5 ug TRB/L for 22 d, and a variety of reproductive and endocrine-related endpoints were examined. Cumulative fecundity was significantly reduced in fathead minnows exposed to TRB, MIX, or 5 ug TCC/L. Exposure to 1 ug TCC/L had no effect on reproduction. In general, both TRB and MIX treatments caused similar physiological effects, evoking significant reductions in female plasma vitellogenin, estradiol, and testosterone, and significant increases in male plasma estradiol. Based on analysis of the ovarian transcriptome, there were potential pathway impacts that were common to both TRB- and TCC-containing treatment groups. In most cases, however, those pathways were more plausibly linked to differences in reproductive status than to androgen-specific functions. Overall, TCC was reproductively toxic to fish at concentrations at or near those that have been measured in surface water. There was little evidence that TCC elicits reproductive toxicity through a specific mode of endocrine or reproductive action, nor that it could augment the androgenic effects of TRB. Nonetheless, the relatively small margin of safety between some measured environmental concentrations and effect concentrations suggests that concern is warranted.Many widely used healthcare products contain antiseptics, whose persistence in aquatic environments, soils, and sediments leads to the contamination of ecosystems and adversely affects wildlife. Recently, the impact not only of high but also low doses of contaminants and mixtures of several chemicals has become a focus of concern. In this study, toxicity tests of the antiseptics triclosan (TCS) and triclocarban (TCC) were performed in an aquatic test medium using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Nominal concentrations of TCS and TCC were tested in separate single-substance toxicity tests (96-hr-exposure), focusing on growth and reproduction endpoints. Median effective concentrations (EC50s) from the single-substance tests were subsequently used to set up five different ratios of TCS:TCC mixtures leading to the same toxicity. Six dilutions of each mixture ratio were tested for effon reproduction of C. elegans. In the single-substance tests, TCC was about 30 times more toxic than TCS when considering effects on growth and concerning reproduction, TCC was about 50 times more toxic than TCS. For both substances, the toxic effect on reproduction was more pronounced than the one on growth. Low doses of TCS (1-10 umol/L) stimulated reproduction by up to 301% compared to the control, which might be due to endocrine disruption or other stress-related compensation responses (hormesis). Neither antiseptic stimulated growth. In the mixtures, increasing amounts of TCC inhibited the stimulatory effects of TCS on reproduction. In addition, the interactions of TCS and TCC were antagonistic, such that mixtures displayed lower toxicity than would have been expected when TCS and TCC mixtures adhered to the principle of concentration addition.Effects of chemical mixtures at environmentally relevant concentrations on endocrine systems of aquatic organisms are of concern. Triclocarban (TCC) and inorganic mercury (Hg2+) are ubiquitous in aquatic environments, and are known to interfere with endocrine pathways via different mechanisms of toxic action. However, effects of mixtures of the two pollutants on aquatic organisms and associated molecular mechanisms were unknown. This study examined effects of binary mixtures of TCC and Hg2+ on histopathological and biochemical alteration of reproductive organs in zebrafish (Danio rerio) after 21 d exposure. The results showed that: 1) At concentrations studied, TCC alone caused little effect on hepatic tissues, but it aggravated lesions in liver caused by Hg2+via indirect mechanisms of disturbing homeostasis and altering concentrations of hormones2) Histological lesions were more severe in gonads of individuals, especially males, exposed to the binary mixture. Exposure to TCC alone (2.5 or 5 ug/L) (measured concentration 140 or 310 ng/L) or Hg2+ alone (5 ug/L or 10 ug/L (measured concentration 367 or 557 ng/L) slightly retarded development of oocytes, whereas co-exposure to nominal concentrations of 5 ug/L TCC and 10 ug /L Hg2+ promoted maturation of oocytes. In males, maturation of sperm was slightly delayed by exposure to either TCC or Hg2+, while their combinations caused testes to be smaller and sperm to be fewer compared with fish exposed to either of the contaminants individually3) Lesions observed in fish exposed to binary mixtures might be due to altered transcription of genes involved in steroidogenesis, such as cyp19a, 3beta-HSD, cyp17, 17beta-HSD and modulated concentrations of testosterone and estradiol in blood plasma. The observed results further support the complexity of toxic responses of fish exposed to lesser concentrations of binary chemical mixtures. Since it is impossible to collect empirical information in controlled studies of all possible combinations of toxicants, the application of omics methods might improve the predictive capabilities of results of single classes of chemicals.Estrogen regulates numerous developmental and physiological processes. Most effects are mediated by estrogen receptors (ERs), which function as ligand-regulated transcription factors. Estrogen also regulates the activity of GPR30, a membrane-associated G protein-coupled receptor. Many different types of environmental contaminants can activate ERssome can bind GPR30 as well. There is growing concern that exposure to some of these compounds, termed xenoestrogens, is interfering with the behavior and reproductive potential of numerous wildlife species, as well as affecting human health. Here, we investigated how two common, environmentally pervasive chemicals affect the in vivo expression of a known estrogen target gene in the brain of developing zebrafish embryos, aromatase AroB, which converts androgens to estrogens. We confirm that, like estrogen, the well-studied xenoestrogen bisphenol A (BPA, a plastics monomer), induces strong brain-specific overexpression of aromatase. Experiments using ER- and GPR30-selective modulators argue that this induction is largely through nuclear ERs. BPA induces dramatic overexpression of AroB RNA in the same subregions of the developing brain as estrogen. The antibacterial triclocarban (TCC) by itself stimulates AroB expression only slightly, but TCC strongly enhances the overexpression of AroB that is induced by exogenous estrogen. Thus, both BPA and TCC have the potential to elevate levels of aromatase and, thereby, levels of endogenous estrogens in the developing brain. In contrast to estrogen, BPA-induced AroB overexpression was suppressed by TCC. These results indicate that exposures to combinations of certain hormonally active pollutants can have outcomes that are not easily predicted from their individual effects.For more Interactions (Complete) data for Triclocarban (6 total), please visit the HSDB record page. |

| Umweltverhalten | TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), Koc values of 12,000(2) to 71,687(3) indicate that triclocarban is expected to be immobile in soil(SRC). Volatilization of triclocarban from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 4.5X10-11 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(4). Triclocarban is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 3.6X10-9 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(5). Utilizing the Japanese MITI test, 1% of the Theoretical BOD was reached in 4 weeks(6) indicating that biodegradation is not an important environmental fate process in soil(SRC). However using a continuous flow activated sludge, 50-100% degradation was obtained in 12 weeks, following lag periods of up to two weeks(7).TERRESTRIAL FATE: Dewatered municipal biosolids (DMBs) were applied to a field at a rate of approximately 22 Mg dw/ha in October 2008. Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) were monitored in groundwater, tile drainage, soil, DMB aggregates incorporated into the soil post-land application, and in the grain of wheat grown on the field for a period of approximately 1 year following application. Over 80 PPCPs were analyzed in the source DMB. PPCPs selected for in-depth monitoring included ... triclocarban .... PPCPs in tile were observed twice, approximately 3 weeks and 2 months post-application. Of all PPCPs measured in tile drainage, only carbamazepine, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, triclosan, triclocarban, venlafaxine, and citalopram were detected (5-74 ng/L). PPCPs were not detected in groundwater >2 m depth below the soil surface, and concentrations above detection limits at 2 m depth were only observed once just after the first rain event post-application. In groundwater, all compounds found in tile, except carbamazepine, acetaminophen and citalopram, were detected (10-19 ng/L). PPCPs were detected in DMB aggregates incorporated in soil up to 1 year post-application, with miconazole and fluoxetine having the lowest percent reductions over 1 year (approximately 50%). For several compounds in these aggregates, concentration declines were of exponential decay form. No PPCPs were detected in the grain of wheat planted post-application on the field. No PPCPs were ever detected in water, soil or grain samples from the reference plot, where no DMB was applied.AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), Koc values of 12,000(2) to 71687(3) indicate that triclocarban 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 4.5X10-11 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(5). According to a classification scheme(6), BCF values of 80(7) to 724(8) suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate to high(SRC). Utilizing the Japanese MITI test, 1% of the Theoretical BOD was reached in 4 weeks(7) indicating that biodegradation is not an important environmental fate process in water(SRC). However using a continuous flow activated sludge, 50-100% degradation was obtained in 12 weeks, following lag periods of up to two weeks(9).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), triclocarban, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 3.6X10-9 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2), is expected to exist solely in the particulate phase in the ambient atmosphere. Particulate-phase triclocarban may be removed from the air by wet and dry deposition(SRC). Triclocarban contains chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(3) and, therefore, may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC). |

| Toxizitätsübersicht | IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Triclocarban (TCC) is a solid. It has anti-microbial activity and is used globally in a wide range of personal cleansing products that include deodorant soaps, detergents, cleansing lotions, and wipes. In North America, TCC is used exclusively as an antimicrobial and preservative in bar and liquid soaps and body washes. HUMAN STUDIES: Studies in humans indicate no evidence of skin sensitization or severe irritation. Petrolatum (0.1mL) containing 0, 1, 3, 6, and 9% TCC was applied continuously for 21 days on ten males. Minimal skin irritation was observed with the 9% concentration. There was no evidence of skin sensitization in volunteers tested with TCC (1.5% and 10%). The potential impact of exposure to TCC on fetal abnormalities was studied in 39 pregnant women diagnosed with fetal or post-birth abnormalities. Significantly increased levels of TCC were detected in maternal sera from mothers with abnormal births. TCC was also studied for its endocrine-disrupting effects. TCC exerted estrogenic activities by inducing luciferase activities in an ER reporter gene assay, promoting the proliferation of the MCF-7 cells, up-regulating the expression of pS2 and down-regulating ERalpha expression at both the mRNA and protein levels in the MCF-7 cells. In prostate cancer-derived LNCaP and C4-2B cells, TCC potentiated androgen actions via androgen receptor-dependent actions. ANIMAL STUDIES: TCC was non-irritating to guinea pig and rabbit skin. TCC did not cause skin sensitization in guinea pigs. At a concentration of 4% TCC did not exhibit a photoallergic activity in guinea pigs. In rabbit eyes, TCC caused no discernable irritation in the rinsed group and was only mildly irritating in the un-rinsed group. TCC was tested in groups of 80 Sprague Dawley rats per sex in a two year chronic feeding study at dose levels of 0, 25, 75 and 250 mg/kg bw/day. Mean body weight of males at 250 mg/kg bw/day and females at 75 and 250 mg/kg bw/day were slightly reduced compared to controls during most of the study. Anemia was seen in males at 75 and 250 mg/kg bw/day and females at 250 mg/kg bw/day. Blood chemistry analysis showed a slight increase in alkaline phosphatase, blood urea nitrogen, glucose and total bilirubin at various time points for the high-dose males. There was no evidence for dose-related increases in tumor incidence at any site. The long-term effect to rats of TCC was also tested in a three-generation reproduction study. At the highest TCC dose level, the mean number of live pups at birth was lower than controls in the litters for the F0 generation. A similar trend was not observed in the F1 and F2 generation. TCC has been shown to enhance testosterone-induced effects in vitro and to enlarge accessory sex organs in castrated male rats. TCC was negative for the induction of structural and numerical chromosome aberrations in CHO cells. TCC was considered not to be mutagenic with and without metabolic activation in the Ames test (Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA 1537). ECOTOXICITY STUDIES: TCC has been detected in aquatic ecosystems and the results of toxicity studies indicate a potential risk to the environment. TCC induced systemic toxic effects in nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. TCC was also reproductively toxic to fish at concentrations at or near those that have been measured in surface water. The effects of TCC on mortality, population growth, lifespan, and fecundity were examined in the monogonont rotifer (Brachionus koreanus) using cellular ROS levels, GST enzymatic activity, and gene expression of defensomes. In TCC-exposed B. koreanus, growth retardation and reduced fecundity were observed and were shown to have a potentially deleterious effect on the life cycle of B. koreanus. In addition, time-dependent increases in ROS contents and GST enzymatic activity were shown in response to TCC exposure. In the reproduction test with the New Zealand mudsnail Potamopyrgus antipodarum TCC caused significantly increased embryo numbers at all tested concentrations, except in the group of 0.170 ug/L. TCC inhibited the growth of T. thermophila and the impairment of plasma membrane was observed after 2 hr exposure of TCC. Furthermore, it is noticeable that at environmentally relevant concentrations (1.0 ug/L), TCC can lead to statistically significant DNA damage in Tetrahymena thermophila, while the inhibition of growth and change of cell viability cannot be observed. In the freshwater mudsnail Potamopyrgus antipodarum after four weeks, environmentally relevant TCC concentrations of 1.6 to 10.5 ug/L resulted in significant increases in the number of unshelled embryos, whereas 0.2, 1.6, and 10.5 ug/L exposures significantly increased numbers of shelled embryos. |
| Ökotoxizitätsauszüge | /AQUATIC SPECIES/ Triclocarban (TCC) is a well-known antibacterial agent that is frequently detected in environmental, wildlife and human samples. The potential toxicological effects and action mechanism of TCC on vertebrate development has remained unclear. ...Phenotypic alterations, thyroid hormone levels, thyroid hormone responsive genes, and proteomic profiles of zebrafish embryos /were analyzed/ after exposure to a series of concentrations of TCC from 6 hr post-fertilization (hpf) to 120 hpf. The most nonlethal concentration (MNLC), lethal concentration 10% (LC10) and lethal concentration 50% (LC50) of TCC for exposures of 96 hr were 133.3 ug/L, 147.5 ug/L and 215.8 ug/L, respectively. ...Results showed that exposure to TCC decreased heart rate, delayed yolk absorption and swim bladder development at MNLC and LC10. Exposure to MNLC of TCC inhibited thyroid hormone and altered expression of thyroid hormone responsive genes. Furthermore, exposure to 1/20 MNLC of TCC altered expression of proteins related to binding and metabolism, skeletal muscle development and function, as well as proteins involved in nervous system development and immune response, indicating TCC has potential health risks in wildlife and humans at low concentration levels./AQUATIC SPECIES/ Triclocarban (TCC) is an antimicrobial agent routinely detected in surface waters that has been hypothesized to interact with the vertebrate endocrine system.

Due to its high lipophilicity and persistence in the aquatic ecosystems, TCC is of emerging environmental concern. Despite the frequently reported detection of TCC in the environment and significant uncertainties about its long term effects on aquatic ecosystems, few studies have addressed the chronic effects of TCC in aquatic organisms at ecologically relevant concentrations. ... Testing a broad range of biological responses in the amphipod Gammarus locusta following a chronic (60 days) exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of TCC (100, 500 and 2500 ng/L). This work integrated biochemical markers of oxidative stress (catalase (CAT), glutathione-s-transferase (GST) and lipid peroxidation (LPO)) and neurotransmission (acetylcholinesterase (AChE)) with several key ecological endpoints, i.e. behavior, survival, individual growth and reproduction. Significant alterations were observed in all biochemical markers. While AChE showed a dose-response curve (with a significant increased activity at a TCC concentration of 2500 ng/L), oxidative stress markers did not follow a dose-response curve, with significant increase at 100 and/or 500 ng/L and a decreased activity in the highest concentration (2500 ng/L). The same effect was observed in the females' behavioral response, whereas males' behavior was not affected by TCC exposure. The present study represents a first approach to characterize the hazard of TCC to crustaceans./AQUATIC SPECIES/ ... In this study, toxicity tests of the antiseptics triclosan (TCS) and triclocarban (TCC) were performed in an aquatic test medium using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Nominal concentrations of TCS and TCC were tested in separate single-substance toxicity tests (96-hr-exposure), focusing on growth and reproduction endpoints. Median effective concentrations (EC50s) from the single-substance tests were subsequently used to set up five different ratios of TCS:TCC mixtures leading to the same toxicity. Six dilutions of each mixture ratio were tested for effon reproduction of C. elegans. In the single-substance tests, TCC was about 30 times more toxic than TCS when considering effects on growth and concerning reproduction, TCC was about 50 times more toxic than TCS. For both substances, the toxic effect on reproduction was more pronounced than the one on growth. ... Neither antiseptic stimulated growth. In the mixtures, increasing amounts of TCC inhibited the stimulatory effects of TCS on reproduction. In addition, the interactions of TCS and TCC were antagonistic, such that mixtures displayed lower toxicity than would have been expected when TCS and TCC mixtures adhered to the principle of concentration addition.For more Ecotoxicity Excerpts (Complete) data for Triclocarban (19 total), please visit the HSDB record page. |

| Effluent Concentrations | Triclocarban has been identified in wastewater and sludge(1). Estimated annual loading of triclocarban to US surface waters from treatment input in 2002-2004 were as follows: activated sludge, 39-67%trickling filter systems, 31-54%combined sewer overflows, 2-7%sanitary sewer overflows, <0.2%(2). The average concentration of triclocarban in the influent of three Baltimore, MD waste water treatment plants was 6700 ng/L, effluent values dropped to 110 ng/L for a removal efficiency average of >98%, sampling was conducted 2002 to 2004(2). Mean concentrations of triclocarban in final effluent from a water reclamation facility in Los Angeles, CA were 231 and 200 ng/L in samples collected May and Oct 2009, respectively(3). Mean triclocarban outfall concentrations were 2.6 and 3.9 ng/L from the South Shore Reclamation Facility Jones Island Water Reclamation Facility, respectfully, Milwaukee, WI on Lake Michigan. Grab samples were collected on May 15, 2009 and April 9, 2010(4).Triclocarban concentrations in four waste water treatment plants in Savannah, GA. Triclocarban was also reported in incinerated sludge from the President Street waste water treatment plant at 0.9 ng/g. Samples were collected in Oct 2007(1).[Table#4999] |
| Soil Adsorption/Mobility | A log Koc of 4.08 (Koc 12,000Kd of 438 L/kg) was reported for triclocarban using an agricultural soil (sandy mud: 20% clay, 69% silt, 11% sand) from Corrstown, Co. Dublin, Ireland. Triclocarban was retained completely by a municipal digested sludge from a major wastewater treatment plant in Dublin city(1). Experimental Kocs for triclocarban were also reported as 48,865 to 64027, and 58656 to 71,687 using soils from Lucas County, northwestern Ohio not previously exposed to triclocarban in sludge, and amended with biosolids, respectively(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this Koc range suggests that triclocarban is expected to be immobile in soil(SRC). |
| Human Toxicity Excerpts | /HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ In a Draize method test triclocarban (1.5% and 10%) was applied to the upper portion of the arm of male test subjects. The test was divided into the induction phase (3 1/2 weeks of repeated chemical insults to the skin) then a 2 week incubation period or rest period followed by a challenge phase in form of contact with the test material at 1% triclocarban for 72 hr to determine if sensitization had taken place. The skin was then graded according to the Draize criteria for edema and erythema. There was no evidence of skin sensitization in the 88 volunteers tested and it was concluded that triclocarban was not a skin sensitizer under the tested conditions./HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ 114 human volunteers were treated with patches of a 10% w/v aqueous solution of bar soap containing 1.2% triclocarban, resulting in a concentration of 0.12% triclocarban under the patches. The patches were applied on the back under semiocclusive conditions, for 24 hours, three times a week at the same skin site, for 3 weeks during the induction period. After a 10-14 day rest period, a final 24 hour challenge application of the test material was made and read after 48 and 72 hours. At challenge there was no evidence of skin sensitization in any of the 101 human subjects who completed the test./HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ Ninety-seven human volunteers were treated with patches of a 5% w/v aqueous solution of bar soap containing 1.2% triclocarban, resulting in a concentration of 0.06% triclocarban under the patches. The patches were applied under semi-occlusive conditions, for 24 hours, three times a week at the same skin site, for 3 weeks during the induction period. After a two week rest period, a final 24 hour challenge application of the test material was made and read after 48 and 96 hours. An acceptable level of irritation was observed throughout the study. At challenge there was no evidence of skin sensitization in any of the 97 human subjects who completed the test./HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ The allergic contact sensitization potential of triclocarban upon human skin has been tested according to the Shelanski Repeated Insult Patch Test Method. Fifty human volunteers were treated on the back with 15 semi-occlusive patches containing approximately 50 mg of undiluted triclocarban for 24 hours. The patches were then removed and the sites examined for skin irritation reactions. After a 24 hours rest, the patches were reapplied for 24 hours and the sites examined on removal. After a two week rest period, a final 24 hour challenge application of 50 mg undiluted test substance was made. All applications were made to the same site on the skin of each subject. There were no observed reactions on any of the fifty human test subjects, to either of the 15 primary applications or the challenge applications. From the results obtained in the study it was concluded that triclocarban was neither a primary irritant, nor a skin sensitizer to any of the fifty subjects tested.For more Human Toxicity Excerpts (Complete) data for Triclocarban (15 total), please visit the HSDB record page. |
