処分方法SRP: The most favorable course of action is to use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational exposure or environmental contamination. Recycle any unused portion of the material for its approved use or return it to the manufacturer or supplier. Ultimate disposal of the chemical must consider: the material's impact on air qualitypotential migration in soil or watereffects on animal, aquatic, and plant lifeand conformance with environmental and public health regulations.The following wastewater treatment technologies have been investigated for butyric acid: Concentration process: Biological treatment.The following wastewater treatment technologies have been investigated for butyric acid: Concentration process: Activated carbon.The following wastewater treatment technologies have been investigated for butyric acid: Concentration process: Resin adsorption.
漏出処分Personal protection: complete protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Cautiously neutralize remainder with soda lime. Then wash away with plenty of water.
TreatmentIf the compound has been ingested, rapid gastric lavage should be performed using 5% sodium bicarbonate. For skin contact, the skin should be washed with soap and water. If the compound has entered the eyes, they should be washed with large quantities of isotonic saline or water. In serious cases, atropine and/or pralidoxime should be administered. Anti-cholinergic drugs work to counteract the effects of excess acetylcholine and reactivate AChE. Atropine can be used as an antidote in conjunction with pralidoxime or other pyridinium oximes (such as trimedoxime or obidoxime), though the use of '-oximes' has been found to be of no benefit, or possibly harmful, in at least two meta-analyses. Atropine is a muscarinic antagonist, and thus blocks the action of acetylcholine peripherally.
相互作用n-Butyrate was previously found to increase the epidermal growth factor receptor binding in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes. /It was shown/ that butyrate and dexamethasone synergistically modulate the surface expression of epidermal growth factor receptors. The butyrate-induced enhancement of high-affinity epidermal growth factor binding was only slight in the absence of glucocorticoid, but was strongly and dose-dependently amplified by dexamethasone. Butyrate counteracted the inhibition by insulin of the dexamethasone-induced increase in epidermal growth factor binding. The results indicate that the glucocorticoid has a permissive effect on a butyrate- sensitive process that determines the surface expression of the high-affinity class of epidermal growth factor receptors.Butyrate inhibited differentiation of F9 mouse teratocarcinoma stem cells in the presence of retinoic acid, when added within 8 hr of retinoic acid addition.
健康影響Acute exposure to cholinesterase inhibitors can cause a cholinergic crisis characterized by severe nausea/vomiting, salivation, sweating, bradycardia, hypotension, collapse, and convulsions. Increasing muscle weakness is a possibility and may result in death if respiratory muscles are involved. Accumulation of ACh at motor nerves causes overstimulation of nicotinic expression at the neuromuscular junction. When this occurs symptoms such as muscle weakness, fatigue, muscle cramps, fasciculation, and paralysis can be seen. When there is an accumulation of ACh at autonomic ganglia this causes overstimulation of nicotinic expression in the sympathetic system. Symptoms associated with this are hypertension, and hypoglycemia. Overstimulation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the central nervous system, due to accumulation of ACh, results in anxiety, headache, convulsions, ataxia, depression of respiration and circulation, tremor, general weakness, and potentially coma. When there is expression of muscarinic overstimulation due to excess acetylcholine at muscarinic acetylcholine receptors symptoms of visual disturbances, tightness in chest, wheezing due to bronchoconstriction, increased bronchial secretions, increased salivation, lacrimation, sweating, peristalsis, and urination can occur. Certain reproductive effects in fertility, growth, and development for males and females have been linked specifically to organophosphate pesticide exposure. Most of the research on reproductive effects has been conducted on farmers working with pesticides and insecticdes in rural areas. In females menstrual cycle disturbances, longer pregnancies, spontaneous abortions, stillbirths, and some developmental effects in offspring have been linked to organophosphate pesticide exposure. Prenatal exposure has been linked to impaired fetal growth and development. Neurotoxic effects have also been linked to poisoning with OP pesticides causing four neurotoxic effects in humans: cholinergic syndrome, intermediate syndrome, organophosphate-induced delayed polyneuropathy (OPIDP), and chronic organophosphate-induced neuropsychiatric disorder (COPIND). These syndromes result after acute and chronic exposure to OP pesticides.

環境中動態TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 64(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 0.79(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), and experimental values of 19.1, 27.6, and 14.7 in mud, muddy sand, and sand(4), indicate that n-butanoic acid is expected to have very high to high mobility in soil(SRC). The pKa of n-butanoic acid is 4.82(5), indicating that this compound will primarily exist in the anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(6). Volatilization of butyric acid from moist soil surfaces is expected to be slow(SRC) given a Henry's Law constant of 5.35X10-7 atm-cu m/mole(7). n-Butanoic acid is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 1.65 mm Hg(8). N-butanoic acid may be susceptible to biodegradation in terrestrial environments based on the observed degradation of 72% after 5 hours when incubated with activated sludge(9,10).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), experimental Koc values of 19.1, 27.6, and 14.7 on a clastic mud (3.5% organic carbon), a lateritic muddy sand (1.3% organic carbon), and a fine carbonate sand (0.17% organic carbon), respectively(2), indicate that n-butanoic acid is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). The pKa of n-butanoic acid is 4.82(5), indicating that this compound will primarily exist in the anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(6). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected to be slow(3) based upon a Henry's Law constant of 5.35X10-7 atm-cu m/mole(4). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 64 and 471 days, respectively(SRC). According to a classification scheme(7), an estimated BCF of 3.2(SRC), from a log Kow of 0.79(8) and a regression-derived equation(9), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). n-Butanoic acid may be susceptible to biodegradation in aquatic environments based on the observed degradation of 72% after 5 hours when incubated with activated sludge(10,11).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), n-butanoic acid, which has a vapor pressure of 1.65 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase butyric acid 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 7 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 2.40X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(3). n-Butanoic acid does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm and therefore is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(4).

有害作用Dermatotoxin - Skin burns.
暴露経路The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour.
毒性の概要Butyric acid is a cholinesterase or acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor. A cholinesterase inhibitor (or 'anticholinesterase') suppresses the action of acetylcholinesterase. Because of its essential function, chemicals that interfere with the action of acetylcholinesterase are potent neurotoxins, causing excessive salivation and eye-watering in low doses, followed by muscle spasms and ultimately death. Nerve gases and many substances used in insecticides have been shown to act by binding a serine in the active site of acetylcholine esterase, inhibiting the enzyme completely. Acetylcholine esterase breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is released at nerve and muscle junctions, in order to allow the muscle or organ to relax. The result of acetylcholine esterase inhibition is that acetylcholine builds up and continues to act so that any nerve impulses are continually transmitted and muscle contractions do not stop. Among the most common acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are phosphorus-based compounds, which are designed to bind to the active site of the enzyme. The structural requirements are a phosphorus atom bearing two lipophilic groups, a leaving group (such as a halide or thiocyanate), and a terminal oxygen.
Signs and SymptomsSore throat. Cough. Burning sensation. Shortness of breath. Laboured breathing. Symptoms may be delayed.Pain. Redness. Blisters. Skin burns.Pain. Redness. Severe deep burns. Loss of vision.Burning sensation. Abdominal pain. Shock or collapse.Symptoms of low dose exposure include excessive salivation and eye-watering. Acute dose symptoms include severe nausea/vomiting, salivation, sweating, bradycardia, hypotension, collapse, and convulsions. Increasing muscle weakness is a possibility and may result in death if respiratory muscles are involved. Hypertension, hypoglycemia, anxiety, headache, tremor and ataxia may also result.

説明

Butyric acid is a carboxylic acid also classified as a fatty acid. It exists in two isomeric forms as shown previously, but this entry focuses on n-butyric acid or butanoic acid. It is a colorless, viscous, rancid-smelling liquid that is present as esters in animal fats and plant oils. Butyric acid exists as a glyceride in butter, with a concentration of about 4%; dairy and egg products are a primary source of butyric acid. When butter or other food products go rancid, free butyric acid is liberated by hydrolysis, producing the rancid smell. It also occurs in animal fat and plant oils.

天然物の起源

Normally occurs in butter as a glyceride. It has been reported found in the essential oils of citronella Ceylon, Eucalyptus globules, Araucaria cunninghamii, Lippia scaberrima, Monarda fistulosa, cajeput, Heracleum giganteum, lavender, Hedeoma pulegioides, valerian, nutmeg, hops, Pastinaca sativa, Spanish anise and others. It has been identified in strawberry aroma, apricot, American cranberry, sour cherry, black currants, butter, milk, strawberry jam, cheeses (blue, cheddar, feta, Swiss, Camembert and romano), raspberry, papaya, coffee mutton, beer, rum, bourbon whiskey and cider.

来歴

Butyric acid gets its name from the Latin butyrum, or butter. It was discovered by Adolf Lieben (1836–1914) and Antonio Rossi in 1869. Butyric acid is one of the simplest fatty acids.

使用

Butyric Acid is a fatty acid that is commonly obtained from butter fat. it has an objectionable odor which limits its uses as a food acid- ulant or antimycotic. it is an important chemical reactant in the manufacture of synthetic flavoring, shortening, and other edible food additives. in butter fat, the liberation of butyric acid which occurs during hydrolytic rancidity makes the butter fat unusable. it is used in soy milk-type drinks and candies.

一般的な説明

A colorless liquid with a penetrating and unpleasant odor. Flash point 170°F. Corrosive to metals and tissue. Density 8.0 lb /gal.

使用用途

酪酸は、ワニスの製造原料として利用されています。その他にも、4-ヘプタノンのような有機合成原料や乳化剤として使用可能です。さらに、酪酸はあらゆるバイオ燃料のとしても使用できる他、酪酸がエステル化することで、合成香料の製造に使われるといった用途があります。 着香剤などの食品添加物に使用されるなど、食品加工や調味料の製造にも利用されています。また、酪酸には栄養価を高めたり、感染症や病気を予防したりする効果があるため、動物飼料に利用可能です。がんや過敏性腸症候群向けの医薬品製造にも、酪酸が使用されています。
