Paraoxon (diethyl-p-nitrophenylphosphate) is the toxic, but non-mutagenic metabolite of the organophosphorus ester insecticide parathion. ... A mutagenic synergy when paraoxon was incubated with plant activated m-phenylenediamine (mPDA) or with direct acting 2-acetoxyacetylaminofluorene ... and Salmonella typhimurium tester strains /was discovered/. ... /With/ non-toxic concn of plant activated mPDA and paraoxon a 10-fold incr in the mutant yield of S. typhimurium was observed. The mutagenicity of the plant activated mPDA product required that O-acetyltransferase (OAT) be expressed by the S. typhimurium tester strain. However, the paraoxon dependent mutagenic synergy was observed using the direct acting arylamine metabolite, 2AAAF, with strains YG1024, TA98 and TA98/1,8-DNP6 regardless of their OAT activity. This mutagenic synergy is dependent upon the presence of an activated acetylated form of the arylamine. The data presented here demonstrate that this mutagenic synergy is limited to paraoxon and not to the parent compound (parathion) or to a major metabolite of parathion (p-nitrophenol).

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a recommended classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 16(SRC), determined from a measured log Kow of -0.33(2) and a recommended regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 1,3-benzenediamine is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). However, anilines are expected to bind strongly to humus or organic matter in soils due to the high reactivity of the aromatic amino group(4,5); therefore, mobility may be much lower in some soils(SRC). Volatilization of 1,3-benzenediamine is not expected to be important from moist soil surfaces(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.3X10-9 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), from its extrapolated vapor pressure, 2.1X10-3 mm Hg(6), and measured water solubility, 2.4X10+5 mg/l(7). 1,3-Benzenediamine is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces based on its extrapolated vapor pressure(6). Limited biodegradation data indicate 1,3-benzenediamine may be resistant to biodegradation in soil; soil microflora did not cleave the benzene ring of 1,3-benzenediamine in 64 days(8).

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a recommended classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 16(SRC), determined from a measured log Kow of -0.33(2) and a recommended regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 1,3-benzenediamine is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment in water(SRC). However, aromatic amines are recognized as having a strong affinity to organic carbon, suggesting that this compound may bind strongly to suspended organic material in water(4,5). 1,3-Benzenediamine is not expected to volatilize from water surfaces(3,SRC) based on an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.3X10-9 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its extrapolated vapor pressure, 2.1X10-3 mm Hg(6), and measured water solubility, 2.4X10+5 mg/l(7). 1,3-Benzenediamine may exist partially in the ionized form at environmental pH's based on pKa values of 2.65 and 4.88 at 25 °C(8). Volatilization of the ionized form is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC). According to a classification scheme(9), BCF values of 1.3 to 4.6 and <1.6 to 24 measured for 1,3-benzenediamine in carp at 2 and 0.2 mg/l, respectively(10), suggest that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). 1,3-Benzenediamine in the water column may be susceptible to significant photooxidation via hydroxyl and peroxy radicals; half-lives for these photooxidations may be on the order of 19-30 sunlight hours(11). Aqueous screening studies indicate 1,3-benzenediamine may be susceptible to microbial degradation(SRC); 60% degradation was observed after 5 days using an acclimated activated sludge inoculum(12). 1,3-Benzenediamine was reported to be toxic to 3 unacclimated sludges at concns greater than 50 ppm(13).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), 1,3-benzenediamine, which has an extrapolated vapor pressure of 2.1X10-3 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 1,3-benzenediamine 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 about 1.9 hours(3,SRC). 1,3-Benzenediamine absorbs light in the environmental spectrum(4), which suggests a potential for direct photolysis in the environment(SRC).

The Koc of 1,3-benzenediamine is estimated as approximately 16(SRC), using a measured log Kow of -0.33(1) and a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1,3-benzenediamine is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). However, anilines are expected to bind strongly to humus or organic matter in soils due to the high reactivity of the aromatic amino group(4,5); therefore, mobility may be much lower in some soils(SRC).

m-Phenylenediamine (CAS # 108-45-2) commercial grade, was evaluated for dermal carcinogenicity in 24-month skin-painting study with male and female C3H and C57BL/6 mice (40 and 20/sex/group, respectively) exposed daily to doses of 0.6 or 3.0 mg/day. Mice were sacrificed for histologic evaluation at a rate and time determined by incidence of tumor-bearing mice during the course of treatment. Study lethalities and survivors killed at termination of study were necropsied for examination of major organ systems and the brain to determine degree of substance absorption and potential systemic toxicity. Diagnosis of any gross pathology upon these analyses were confirmed histologically. In 24-month study, mortality was significantly higher in the 3 mg, B6 males, however no increased risk of skin tumors was established for either strain or sex of mice in association with treatment.

meta-Phenylenediamine (CAS # 108-45-2) was evaluated for clastogenic effects in male and female Crl:CDBR mice (5-6/sex/group) following gavage dosing (2 doses, 24 hours apart) at concentrations of 0, 16, 33, and 65 mg/kg bodyweight. Five animals/sex/group were sacrificed for harvest of femur bone marrow and 1000 polychromatic erythrocytes/animal at 24 hours (all treatment groups) and 48 hours (0 and 65 mg/kg/day groups) after a second dose. Bone marrow smears were analyzed for treatment-related incidence of micronuclei in polychromatic erythrocytes. At all dose levels, in vivo observations included lethargy, half-closed eyes, and labored and/or rapid breathing. A solitary 65 mg/kg/day male found dead 24 hours after a second dose comprised the study mortality and weight loss in 33 and 65 mg/kg/day treatment groups was statistically significant. Upon cytogenetic evaluation, there was no statistically significant increase in micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in any treatment group relative to vehicle control (deionized water). The only statistically significant (p < 0.05; Dunnett's test) finding from all bone marrow smears was a reduction in young, polychromatic erythrocytes.

m-Phenylenediamine (CAS # 108-45-2) was evaluated for acute oral neurotoxicity in Crl:CDBR rats (12/sex/group) administered single gavage doses of 0, 75, 150, and 300 mg/kg (10 ml/kg in sterile water). Bodyweight, feed consumption, clinical signs, functional observational battery performance, fore-, and hindlimb grip strength, foot splay, and motor activity were assessed prior to treatment (baseline values), and at 1 hour, 24 hours, and 4 days post-treatment. Toxicity was demonstrated at all dose levels and generally to a greater extent in females. Females at the 150 and 300 mg/kg dose level, one and eight rats, respectively, were found dead prior to scheduled sacrifice, death occurring from 2-4 days after treatment. All study lethalities were found with pallor and staining. Significant weight loss within one day of dosing and persisting throughout Day 4 was common to 150 and 300 mg/kg treatment groups, while food consumption was adversely affected in a dose-related manner. A rebounding of food consumption and bodyweights was noted thereafter. Clinical signs were apparent from day of dosing and included dose-related pallor in females, and irregular head movements, coloration of urine and a tip-toe gait in males and females. The functional observational battery revealed significant general malaise, postural changes, and palpebral closure. High-dose females also showed diminished arousal. Measurements of fore- and hindlimb grip strength and foot splay were not indicative of a neurotoxicity at any treatment level. Motor activity was significantly depressed following treatment in all treatment groups relative to control (p </= .01), exhibiting a dose-related rate of recovery in the respective groups. Study authors attributed depressed motor activity to a general condition of malaise and reported no evidence of neurotoxicity.
