... Mercaptoethanesulphonate, a scavenger of reactive species that is known not to penetrate myocytes prevented the toxicity both of 100 uM allylamine and 100 uM acrolein to myocardial myocyte reaggregate cultures in serum-supplemented medium. In contrast when myocardial myocyte reaggregate cultures in serum-free medium were exposed to high concentrations of allylamine, mercaptoethanesulphonate had no moderating effect. These findings suggest that allylamine undergoes extracellular metabolism to acrolein in serum-supplemented medium because of the presence of benzylamine oxidase in serum. ... The toxicity of allylamine was also prevented by the iron chelator desferrioxamine at a concentration shown not to inhibit significantly the acitivity of benzylamine oxidase. Acrolein toxicity too was inhibited by desferrioxamine. This suggests a role for free radicals in the toxicity of allylamine to myocardial myocyte reaggregate cultures as desferrioxamine chelates iron thus preventing the catalysis of free radical reactions. Addition of alpha-tocopherol succinate an inhbitor of lipid peroxidation to the cultures also reduced the toxicity of allylamine which provides some evidence of the role of lipid peroxidation in the mechanism of allylamine toxicity of myocardial myocyte reaggregate cultures.

In the present study, /investigators/ describe changes in aorta at the protein level associated with allylamine (AA) and beta-aminopropionitrile (beta APN) induced vascular toxicity in a rat model. This model represents a remarkable synergistic, necrotizing toxic effect of these combined toxins, and our rationale was to examine protein expression in order to shed light on the mechanisms underlying this synergism. Rats were given AA (100 mg/kg body weight/day) and beta APN (1 g/kg body weight/day) by gavage for 10 d; this protocol has been shown to result in smooth-muscle necrosis, but no visible connective tissue changes. Soluble and insoluble fractions from AA + beta APN- or from beta APN-treated aorta showed enhanced expression of three high-molecular-weight protein bands (ranges between approximately 120 and 95 kD). The time course of induction of proteins showed the appearance of AA + beta APN-induced specific proteins at d 3 of AA + beta APN treatment. Partial purification and characterization suggested that AA + beta APN specific proteins are likely to be collagen proteins (type I). ...

/Investigators/ developed a model of aortic smooth muscle necrosis in adult Sprague Dawley rats by feeding them two vascular toxins (allylamine HCl, or AA, and beta-aminopropionitrile, or betaAPN) in concert for 10 days. Either toxin given alone does not cause aortic lesions. In order to shed light on the mechanism of the synergistic action of these two toxins, /the authors/ fed known modulators of AA or betaAPN toxicity to rats concurrently with the two toxins. As modulators, /the authors/ used (a) semicarbazide (98 mg/kg/day, given 4 h prior to toxins), a known inhibitor of the vascular enzyme SSAO which metabolizes AA; (b) L-cysteine (1.5% in rat chow, beginning 3 days prior to toxins), which has been shown to reduce the toxic effects of betaAPN; and (c) phenelzine sulphate (3 mg/kg/day, given 4 h prior to toxins), an inhibitor of SSAO and potentiator of betaAPN toxicity. Rats were fed various combinations of the toxins and modulators by gavage: water (n = 8); (AA, 100 mg/kg/day) AA + phenelzine (n = 8); AA + semicarbazide (n = 8); AA + L-cysteine (n = 11); (betaAPN, 1 g/kg/day) betaAPN + phenelzine (n = 8); betaAPN + semicarbazide (n = 8); betaAPN + L-cysteine (n = 8); (AA, 100 mg + betaAPN, 1 g/kg/day) AA + betaAPN + phenelzine (n = 9), AA + betaAPN + semicarbazide (n = 8); AA + betaAPN + L-cysteine (n = 12); phenelzine (3 mg/kg/day) (n = 4); semicarbazide (98 mg/kg/day) (n = 4) and L-cysteine (1.5% in rat chow) (n = 4). /The authors/ found that phenelzine sulphate (a drug previously used in the treatment of hypertension) when given with AA reproduced the AA + betaAPN induced aortic lesions. Phenelzine + betaAPN caused no lesions, but when combined with AA + betaAPN, aortic lesions were intensified and included marked secondary degeneration of the vascular wall. Semicarbazide was found to completely obviate the vascular toxicity of AA + betaAPN. L-Cysteine feeding markedly decreased the incidence and severity of vascular lesions in AA + betaAPN treated rats, bu

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 8(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 0.03(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that allylamine is expected to have very mobility in soil(SRC). The pKa of allylamine is 9.70(4), indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in cation form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(5). Volatilization of allylamine from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process because this compound exists almost entirely in the cation form at pH values of 5 to 9 and cations do not volatilize. Allylamine is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 242 mm Hg at 25 °C(6). A 41% of theoretical BOD(NH3) using activated sludge in the Japanese MITI test and an 89% TOC in an open system inherent test(7) suggest that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process in soil(SRC).

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 8(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 0.03(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that allylamine is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). A pKa of 9.7(4) indicates allylamine will exist almost entirely in the cation form at pH values of 5 to 9 and, therefore, volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC). According to a classification scheme(5), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from its log Kow(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). A 41% of theoretical BOD(NH3) using activated sludge in the Japanese MITI test and an 89% TOC in an open system inherent test(6) suggest that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process in water(SRC).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), allylamine, which has a vapor pressure of 242 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase allylamine is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 2.3 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 5.6X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) (that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Isopropylamine does not absorb UV light at wavelengths >290 nm(4) and, therefore, is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis since sunlight consists of wavelengths above 290 nm(SRC).

IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Allylamine is a colorless to light yellow liquid. It is used as a corrosion inhibitor, in the manufacture of mercurial diuretics and in organic synthesis. HUMAN STUDIES: A potent irritant, allylamine is intolerable at 14 ppm, with recognizable odor and chest and mucous membrane discomfort at 2.5 ppm. This chemical irritates the skin. Cardiotoxicity was described following intradermal injection of allylamine. After 20 hr treatment of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells, 50 uM allylamine had no effect and 100 uM allylamine produced a modest reduction in cell viability. ANIMAL STUDIES: Allylamine is a specific cardiac toxicant that causes aortic, valvular and myocardial lesions in many species. Myocardial necrosis can be observed 24 hr after a single dose. Acute toxicity is believed to involve metabolism of allylamine to highly reactive acrolein (2-propenal). Allylamine has been shown to bind to mitochondria from aorta and heart, suggesting that the subcellular site of injury is at or near the mitochondrion. Mice exposed to allylamine died during the course of a 10 minute inhalation. Allylamine was extremely irritating when tested on rabbit eyes. Rats, rabbits, and dogs were exposed for 8 hr/day, 5 days/wk /for 1 yr/ to 5 or 20 ppm. No adverse effects on growth, behavioral reactions, or abnormal blood or urine changes were observed. Deaths from pneumonia occurred in 3 of 6 rabbits exposed to 20 ppm. Lung changes consistent with chronic irritation were found at both exposure levels. However, no myocardial damage was found in rabbits or dogs and only a few rats showed slight changes. Periodic liver and kidney function tests, transaminase determinations, and electrocardiographic examinations of dogs did not reveal any abnormalities. Congestive changes in the liver and kidneys were noted in dogs at both exposure levels. Myocardial fibrosis with cardiac hypertrophy was produced in rats after consuming allylamine hydrochloride for periods

Testing status for allylamine is available.[Available from, as of March 27, 2018: https://ntpsearch.niehs.nih.gov/?e=True&ContentType=Testing+Status]

The Koc of allylamine is estimated as 8(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.03(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that allylamine is expected to have very high mobility in soil. The pKa of allylamine is 9.7(4), indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in cation form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(5).

/SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS/ Cardiotoxicity was described ... /when/ localized arteritis /was observed/ following intradermal injection of allylamine.

/SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS/ After accidental exposure to an unspecified concentration of the vapor of allylamine, the investigators experienced transient irritation of the mucous membranes of the nose, eyes, and mouth, with lacrimation, coryza, and sneezing.

/SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS/ Tests of vapors on human subjects established that monoallyl amine at 14 ppm caused intolerable irritation of eyes and respiratory tract.

/ALTERNATIVE and IN VITRO TESTS/ /Investigators/ have assessed the cytotoxicity of allylamine (AA) and acrolein (ACR) towards cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). After 20 hr treatment, 50 uM AA alone had no effect and 100 uM AA produced a modest reduction in cell viability. However, both concentrations produced considerable cell death when incubated with HUVEC in the presence of human umbilical artery homogenate as a source of human vascular SSAO activity. The cytotoxic actions of 50 uM AA were not altered by coincubation with 100 uM pargyline (an inhibitor of monoamine oxidase, MAO) but were completely prevented by 100 uM semicarbazide (SSAO inhibitor) and propargylamine (MAO/SSAO inhibitor). ACR at 50 and 100 uM was considerably cytotoxic, but had little effect at 5 and 10 uM. ...

/ALTERNATIVE and IN VITRO TESTS/ Chronic oxidative injury by allylamine (AAM) induces proliferative vascular smooth muscle cell (vSMC) phenotypes in the rat aorta similar to those seen in rodent and human atherosclerotic lesions. The proliferative advantage of AAM vSMC compared to control cells is maintained with serial passage of the cells and the advantage is nullified when AAM cells are seeded on a collagen substrate. In this study, /investigators/ evaluate the potential role of cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors, p27 and p21, and mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinases, ERK1/2, in mediating the proliferative advantage of AAM stressed vSMC over control cells on plastic or collagen substrates. p27 levels in randomly cycling cells were comparable in both cell types irrespective of the substrate. In contrast, basal levels of p21 were 1.9 +/- 0.3 (P < 0.05)-fold higher in randomly cycling AAM cells seeded on plastic compared to controls, a difference that was lost on a collagen substrate. Following G0 synchronization, basal levels of both p27 and p21 were higher in AAM cells seeded on plastic compared to controls (1.7 +/- 0.2 and 2.0 +/- 0.3-fold, respectively, P < 0.05), but these differences were lost upon mitogenic stimulation. Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) decreased p27 and p21 levels in cycling AAM cells relative to controls in a substrate-dependent manner. AAM cells seeded on plastic exhibited enhanced ERK1/2 activation upon mitogenic stimulation; seeding on collagen nullified this advantage. The duration of ERK1/2 activation was prolonged in AAM cells independently of the seeding substrate. /It was concluded/ that substrate-dependent acquisition of proliferative phenotypes following repeated cycles of AAM injury correlates with modulation of the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors, p27 and p21.

Allylamine's production and use in organic synthesis, as a pharmaceutical intermediate, and as a corrosion inhibitor in steel pickling(1,2) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC). Allyalmine has been identified as a constituent of tobacco smoke(3).

Aortic smooth muscle cells (SMC) modulate from a contractile to a proliferative phenotype upon subchronic exposure to allylamine. The present studies were designed to determine if this phenotypic modulation is associated with alterations in the metabolism of membrane phosphoinositides. (32)P incorporation into phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP), phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), and phosphatidic acid (PA) was lower by 31, 35, and 22%, respectively, in SMC from allylamine-treated animals relative to controls. In contrast, incorporation of (3)H-myoinositol into inositol phosphates did not differ in allylamine cells relative to control cells. Exposure to dibutyryl (db) cAMP (0.2 mM) and theophylline (0.1 mM) reduced (32)P incorporation into PIP and PIP2 in SMC from both experimental groups. Under these conditions, a decrease in (3)H-myoinositol incorporation into inositol 1-phosphate was only observed in allylamine cells. The effects of db cAMP and theophylline in allylamine and control SMC correlated with a marked decrease in cellular proliferation. These results suggest that alterations in phosphoinositide synthesis and/or degradation contribute to the enhanced proliferation of SMC induced by allylamine. To further examine this concept, the effects of agents which modulate protein kinase C (PKC) activity were evaluated. Sphingosine (125-500 ng/mL), a PKC inhibitor, decreased SMC proliferation in allylamine, but not control cells. 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (1-100 ng/mL), a PKC agonist, stimulated proliferation in control cells, but inhibited proliferation in cells from allylamine-treated animals. /The authors/ conclude that allylamine-induced phenotypic modulation of SMC is associated with alterations in phosphoinositide metabolism.

Absorption spectra showed that allylamine formed a complex with pyridoxal phosphate in soln at ph 5.2, 7.4 and 8.0. At 1x10-2 M, allylamine inhibited activity of serum glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase by 22.5%, and at 1x10-4 M it inhibited serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase by 13.2%. It inhibited activity of serum enzymes in vitro at same concn as isonicotinic acid hydrazide. IV injection of 60 mg/kg into rats decreased activities of hepatic glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase by about 50%, when these levels were determined about 5 min after injection.

/Investigators/ studied the uptake, tissue distribution, toxicokinetics, and excretion of allylamine by giving rats (14)C-allylamine (1.5 uCi/kg; 150 mg/kg) by gavage. ... Toxicokinetic study showed a very rapid absorption rate and short half-lives (less than 1 hr) for those organs which reasonably fit a toxicokinetic one-compartment model. ...

... Allylamine, a known cardiovascular toxin, is metabolized in vitro to acrolein, /and/ has been hypothesized to act as a distal toxin. In this study, 3-hydroxypropylmercapturic acid was isolated and identified by MS, NMR, and 2D-NMR spectroscopy as the sole urinary metabolite of allylamine metabolism in vivo. Parallel experiments showed reduced glutathione (GSH) depletion in several organs (most marked in aorta, blood, and lung), which is consistent with GSH conjugation of the proposed acrolein intermediate. These findings indicate that allylamine was metabolized in vivo to a highly reactive aldehyde which was converted to a mercapturic acid through a GSH conjugation pathway. ...

Acrolein was detected in homogenates of rat aorta, lung, skeletal muscle and heart incubated with allylamine. ... Hydrogen peroxide, a product of oxidative deamination, was generated during allylamine oxidation. Acrolein was also produced by bovine plasma amine oxidase & porcine kidney diamine oxidase but not by rat liver or brain homogenates. ... Allylamine competitively inhibited benzylamine oxidation in rat aorta, but pargyline-sensitive monoamine oxidase was not involved in acrolein production. The high activity in aorta, the competition with benzylamine, and the sensitivity to benzylamine oxidase inhibitors indicate that benzylamine oxidase is the active enzyme in oxidizing allylamine. ...

... /Investigators/ tested whether allylamine (AA) or acrolein (1, 10, 100, and 1000 uM), a highly reactive product of AA metabolism by semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO), could contract coronary artery (CA) or thoracic aorta (TA) in vitro and if the AA effects involved SSAO. AA or acrolein produced a similar pattern of responses in both CA and TA rings at 100 and 1000 uM, including (1) increased basal tension, (2) enhanced agonist-induced contraction (hypercontractility or vasospasm), (3) remarkable, agonist-induced slow wave vasomotion (vasospasm), and (4) irreversible reduction in vessel contractility after 1 mM exposure. Endothelium-dependent acetylcholine-induced relaxation was not altered during vasospasm in either vessel. Pretreatment with the SSAO inhibitor semicarbazide (1 mM; 10 min) prevented or significantly reduced the majority of AA's effects in both CA and TA rings and inhibited 100% of the SSAO activity present in rat TA and human CA and TA. A two-step model for AA induction of CA vasospasm and resultant myocardial necrosis /was proposed/: (1) metabolism of AA to acrolein by coronary arterial SSAO activity and (2) acrolein induction of CA vasospasm independent of endothelial injury-a novel path.

/Investigators/ studied the uptake, tissue distribution, toxicokinetics, and excretion of allylamine by giving rats (14)C-allylamine (1.5 uCi/kg; 150 mg/kg) by gavage. Rats were killed at intervals up to 2 hr, and multiple tissues were sampled. Aorta showed the highest counts of (14)C-label at most times (5-10-fold higher than most other organs, 100-fold higher than blood), although a minority of aortas had very low counts. Coronary arteries dissected from the hearts showed consistently higher (14)C-label than myocardium. Liver counts, which were high at 5 min, decreased rapidly; kidney counts slowly increased until 45 min, then decreased rapidly, consistent with an excretory function for this organ. Counts of (14)C-label were lower in all other organs, including lung, skeletal muscle, brain, testes, pancreas, adrenal, spleen, fat, and blood. Toxicokinetic study showed a very rapid absorption rate and short half-lives (less than 1 hr) for those organs which reasonably fit a toxicokinetic one-compartment model. (14)C-label was rapidly excreted in the urine; approximately 60% of the dose given was recovered by 24 hr. No counts were found in feces. These studies indicate that allylamine--or its metabolite(s)--has a unique predilection for elastic and muscular arteries, such as aorta and coronary arteries. This relatively specific cardiovascular toxin acts as a highly polar, highly water soluble substance, which is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, has a short half-life in most tissues, and is rapidly excreted in the urine. ...

Pure allylamine can be prepared by hydrolysis of allyl isothiocyanate, thermal cleavage of allyl dithiocarbamate, hydrolysis of diallyl cyanamide, or ammonolysis of triallylamine. Allylamine may be produced also by electroreduction of acrylonitrile on lead cathodes.

/Allylamine/ ... can be synthesized by reaction of allyl chloride with ammonia at the comparatively high temperature of 50-100 °C, or at lower temperatures using CuCl2 or CuCl as the catalyst. In all such methods, a mixture of monoallyl, diallyl, and triallyl amines is obtained. For selectively obtaining monoallylamine, AAm, hydrolysis of by hydrochloric acid is used.

The oldest technology for producing amines is the reaction of ammonia with an alkyl halide. This method is still of commercial importance for the manufacture of allylamines.
