Ethylenebisdithiocarbamates (EBDCs) maneb and zineb are widely used fungicides the final metabolite of which is ethylenethiourea (ETU). EBDCs distort the humoral activity of the thyroid gland, and ETU is especially active in this respect. Male Wistar rats were exposed either to exogenous (100 ng ip) or endogenous (+4 degrees C) TRH stimulation. ETU (100-500 mg/kg ip) caused no changes in serum TSH levels whereas zineb (70-500 mg/kg ip) significantly decreased the bursts induced by cold or exogenous TRH. Maneb (20-200 mg/kg ip) significantly decreased the cold-induced TSH response while it had no effect on the TRH-stimulated TSH secretion. None of the agents caused significant changes in serum T3 or T4 levels. It seems that maneb, and zineb, but not ETU, inhibit rat TSH secretion through an action on the endogenous TRH at the hypothalamic or pituitary level. The mechanism behind this action may be the inhibition of dopamine-beta-hydroxylase.
When (14)C-maneb was given to rats in a single oral dose of 390 mg/kg body weight, only 55% of the (14)C was recovered in the excreta. It was therefore suggested that a large part of the dose might have been metabolized to carbon disulfide and (14)C-EDA /(ethylene diamine)/, followed by oxidation of the latter to carbon disulfide. The concentration of the radioactivity was highest after 24 hr, and EDA and ETU were identified in the excreta ...
Environmental and mammalian degradation of the ethylene-bisdithiocarbonate compounds into ethylene thiourea, a known mutagen, teratogen, and carcinogen, as well as an antithyroid compound, has raised suspicions about these agents and fostered requests for more in-depth studies. There is also evidence that ethylene thiourea may be formed while processing and cooking ethylene-bisdithiocarbonate contaminated products. Few additional, definitive, and more recent studies have yielded any evidence of consequence concerning health hazards. /Ethylene-bisdithiocarbamate compounds/
Studies with Maneb, after application to soybeans, indicated the formation of ethyleneurea, 2,4-imidazolidinedione, 1-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)-2- imidazolidinethione, and several other unidentified compounds.
In plants, the principal metabolite is ethylenethiourea, which rapidly undergoes further metabolism. Ethylenethiuram monosulfide, ethylenethiuram disulfide, and sulfur are also metabolites.

Maneb has ... been shown to produce nigrostriatal degeneration when given in combination with paraquat ...
A study was made of the influence of acute Maneb pretreatment on the behavioral changes induced by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine in mice. Male Swiss mice were given Maneb ip, sometimes in combination with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine. In studies of locomotor activity effects, Maneb at 30 mg/kg and/or 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine was administered at 50 mg/kg. Each mouse was introduced subsequent to treatment into a cage fitted with photocell units. The number of light beam interruptions was recorded during 1 hour. For catalepsy studies, groups of mice were given either compound and an additional group was treated with the combination. The duration of catalepsy was determined over a period of 2 hours by placing the forepaws of each animal over a horizontal glass rod. The results indicated that the administration of a single low dose of Maneb significantly potentiated the effects of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine on locomotor activity and on the duration of catalepsy in mice. When given in combination with the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, Maneb caused significantly greater inhibition of locomotor activity and prolongation of catalepsy than when given alone. These findings may be relevant to understanding the neurologic and/or motor impairments following exposure to pesticides and other environmental factors.
In recent years, several lines of evidence have shown an increase in Parkinson's disease (PD) prevalence in rural environments where pesticides are widely used. Paraquat (PQ--herbicide) and maneb (MB--fungicide) are among the compounds suspected to induce neuronal degeneration and motor deficits characteristics of PD. Here, the effects of PQ and MB on dopaminergic (DA) neuron-glia cultures and in vivo /were investigated/ in young adult /Sprague-Dawley and Wistar/ rats. In vitro, PQ led to a loss of DA as compared to non-DA neurons and microglial activation in a dose-dependent manner. Addition of MB had no further effect nor did it lead to microglial activation when used alone. In vivo, 2-month old young adult rats were subjected to intraperitoneal injections of vehicle (n = 4), PQ alone (n = 8), or PQ in combination with MB (n = 8) twice a week for 4 weeks and were sacrificed the day following the last injection. Significant loss of nigral DA neurons was observed in both treatment groups, but a significant decrease in striatal DA fibers was not found. Microglial activation was seen in the nigra of rats subjected to PQ with or without MB. Behavioral analyses demonstrated a mixed pattern of motor impairments, which may have been related to early effects of nigral DA neuronal loss or systemic effects associated with MB exposure in addition to PQ.

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), a Koc value of 240(2) indicates that maneb is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon rapid degradation of maneb in the environment by hydrolysis, oxidation, and photolysis, although microbial degradation may also contribute to soil transformation(3). Maneb is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 7.5X10-8 mm Hg(2). Aqueous solutions of maneb absorb UV light in the spectrum between 290 and 360 nm(4) which indicates a potential for direct photolysis from moist soil and plant surfaces(SRC). In a 5-day CO2 evolution study using an activated sludge inoculum, 0.6% of applied maneb was detected as 14C-labeled CO2(4), suggesting biodegradation may occur in soil(SRC).
AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), a Koc value of 240(2) indicates that maneb is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected based upon rapid degradation of maneb in the environment by hydrolysis, oxidation, and photolysis, although microbial degradation may also contribute to soil transformation(3). According to a classification scheme(4), a BCF of <10, measured in golden ide (Leuciscus idus melanotus) fish(5), suggests bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Hydrolytic decomposition depends upon the aeration of the water and the pH with faster decomposition in aerated water and with increasing acidity(6). Aqueous solutions of maneb absorb UV light in the spectrum between 290 and 360 nm(5) which indicates a potential for direct photolysis in sunlit water(SRC). 14C-maneb was degraded 9.73-16.18% after 67 days in July and 11.18-27.37% in Sept in sediment at 5 sites from a Nicaraguan estuary incubated under anaerobic conditions(7).
ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), maneb, which has a vapor pressure of 7.5X10-8 mm Hg at 20 °C(2), is expected to exist solely in the particulate phase in the ambient atmosphere. Particulate-phase maneb may be removed from the air by wet or dry deposition(SRC). Aqueous solutions of maneb absorb UV light in the spectrum between 290 and 360 nm(3) and this indicates a potential for direct photolysis in the environment(SRC).
In a compilation of three federal monitoring programs for fiscal years 1970-1976 (FDA's Market Basket Survey, FDA's Monitoring Program for 33,000 domestic and 18,000 raw agricultural commodities, and USDA's National Residue Program), maneb was detected in only 21 samples (all in the leaf and stem vegetable category; concns not reported)(1). Maneb was detected in unquantified amounts in the FDA's regulatory monitoring program in various fresh and processed fruits and vegetables in 1989, and in cantaloupe, and fresh and processed fruits in 1990(2). Five field crops, tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers, summer squash and cantaloupes, collected from 17 different locations throughout the US where maneb fungicide had been applied from 1-14 days previously and analyzed had residues ranging from <0.1 to 4.0 ppm(3). According to the FOODCONTAM database (a national database of information generated by US state agencies involved in regulation of agriculture, public health, and the environment), maneb was detected (concns or detection limits not reported) in only 2 of 13,085 food samples analyzed during fiscal year 1989(4). In CA for fiscal year 1989, analysis of 39 fruit and vegetable samples (apples, grapes, onions and lettuce) did not detect any maneb residues (detection limit not reported)(5). Residue tolerances on raw agricultural products in the US are generally in the range of 2-10 mg/kg, with exceptions of 0.1, 15 and 45 mg/kg for almonds and potatoes, bananas and sugar beet tops, respectively(6). Maneb has been infrequently found in raw foods in the US(7).
Between 1980 and 1985, 53 composite samples of farm-deliverable vegetables grown in Ontario were analyzed for dithiocarbamate fungicides (including maneb, zineb, mancozeb, metiram, ziram and thiram) with analysis results being reported as zineb equivalent (therefore, a positive detection could result from any one or combination of the fungicides)(1); 46 composites were below analytical detection limits (0.1 mg/kg) with 7 composites at the detection limit(1); in a similar study of fruit grown in Ontario between 1980 and 1984, no detectable levels of dithiocarbamate fungicides (detection limit of 0.01 mg/kg) were found in 5 fruit composite samples(2). The results of the European Union member states and Norway monitoring program for 1996 and 1997 found maneb in 13, 18 and 26% of strawberries, grapes and lettuce, respectively(3).
/BIRDS and MAMMALS/ Maneb is categorized as practically nontoxic to avian species and small mammals on an acute oral and subacute dietary basis. / The acute toxicity profile for birds and mammals was based on acute (single dose by gavage) studies showing maneb to be practically nontoxic in bobwhite quail and laboratory rats and subacute (five days of treated feed) in bobwhite quail and mallard ducks, /From table/

/AQUATIC SPECIES/ Maneb is very highly toxic to cold water freshwater fish (LC50 = 42 ppb), highly toxic to slightly toxic to warm water freshwater fish (LC50 = 170 - 68,000 ppb) and highly toxic to estuarine/marine fish (LC50 = 180 ppb). Acute toxicity values for aquatic invertebrates suggest that maneb is highly toxic to freshwater invertebrates (Daphnia EC50 = 120 ppb) and highly to very highly toxic to estuarine/marine invertebrates (mysid shrimp EC50 = 3 ppb)... . Early life-stage chronic freshwater fish NOAEC (No Observable Adverse Effect Concentration) and LOAEC (Lowest Observable Adverse Effect Concentration) values were determined to be 6.1 and 12 ppb, respectively, with reduced hatchability, fish survival and length of fry being the endpoints affected.
/AQUATIC SPECIES/ Like terrestrial plants, non-target aquatic plants may be exposed to pesticide from run-off, spray drift or volatization of maneb. Available information suggest that maneb may be toxic to nonvascular aquatic plants. The EC50 for freshwater green algae was 13 ppb based on growth inhibition, and a nominal NOAEC of 5.0 ppb. The potential for acute risks to terrestrial, semi-aquatic and aquatic vascular plants exposed to maneb at use sites is unknown.

Tolerances for residues of the fungicide maneb (manganous ethylenebisdithiocarbamate), calculated as zinc ethylenebisdithiocarbamate, are established in or on raw agricultural commodities in the following table: [Table#4786]
A time-limited tolerance is established for residues of the fungicide maneb (manganous ethylenebisdithiocarbamate), calculated as zinc ethylenebisdithiocarbamate, and its metabolite ethylenethiourea in connection with use of the pesticide under a section 18 emergency exemption granted by EPA. The tolerance will expire and is revoked on the date specified. Commodity: walnut; Expiration/Revocation Date: 12/31/09.
Pesticide chemicals that cause related pharmacological effects will be regarded as having an additive deleterious action. Where residues from two or more chemicals in the same class are present in or on a raw agricultural commodity the tolerance for the total of such residues shall be the same as that having the lowest numerical tolerance in this class. Maneb is a member of the class of dithiocarbamates.
The Agency has completed its assessment of the dietary, occupational, residential (as a result of exposures from mancozeb and maneb only), and ecological risk associated with the use of pesticide products containing the active ingredient maneb, including maneb-derived ETU and ETU from all sources. Based on a review of these data and on public comments on the Agency's assessments for the active ingredient maneb, the Agency has sufficient information on the human health and ecological effects of maneb to make decisions as part of the tolerance reassessment process under FFDCA and reregistration process under FIFRA, as amended by FQPA. The Agency has determined that maneb containing products are eligible for reregistration provided that: (i) current data gaps and confirmatory data needs are addressed; (ii) the risk mitigation measures outlined in this document are adopted; and (iii) label amendments are made to reflect these measures. ... Based on its evaluation of maneb, the Agency has determined that maneb products, unless labeled and used as specified in this document, would present risks inconsistent with FIFRA and FQPA. Accordingly, should a registrant fail to implement any of the risk mitigation measures identified in this document, the Agency may take regulatory action to address the risk concerns from the use of maneb. If all changes outlined in this document are incorporated into the product labels, then all current risks for maneb will be adequately mitigated for the purposes of this reregistration determination.
As the federal pesticide law FIFRA directs, EPA is conducting a comprehensive review of older pesticides to consider their health and environmental effects and make decisions about their continued use. Under this pesticide reregistration program, EPA examines newer health and safety data for pesticide active ingredients initially registered before November 1, 1984, and determines whether the use of the pesticide does not pose unreasonable risk in accordance to newer saftey standards, such as those described in the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996. Maneb is found on List A, which contains most pesticides that are used on foods and, hence, have a high potential for human exposure. List A consists of the 194 chemical cases (or 350 individual active ingredients) for which EPA issued registration standards prior to FIFRA '88. Case No: 0642; Pesticide type: fungicide; Registration Standard Date: 10/01/88; Case Status: OPP is reviewing data from the pesticide's producers regarding its human health and/or environmental effects, or OPP is determining the pesticide's eligibility for reregistration and developing the RED document.; Active ingredient (AI): maneb; Data Call-in (DCI) Date(s): 3/03/95; 10/13/95; AI Status: The producers of the pesticide have made commitments to conduct the studies and pay the fees required for reregistration, and are meeting those commitments in a timely manner.
Listed as a hazardous air pollutant (HAP) generally known or suspected to cause serious health problems. The Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990, directs EPA to set standards requiring major sources to sharply reduce routine emissions of toxic pollutants. EPA is required to establish and phase in specific performance based standards for all air emission sources that emit one or more of the listed pollutants. Maneb is included on this list.

Maneb is produced from an aqueous solution of nabam by neutralizing with acetic acid and addition of manganese chloride solution.
Maneb can be prepared by the reaction of ethylenediamine with carbon disulfide in the presence of sodium hydroxide to produce the sodium salt, which is then treated with a manganese salt (e.g. manganese sulfate) to precipitate Maneb.

The WHO Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard identifies Maneb (technical grade) as unlikely to present an acute hazard in normal use; Main Use: fungicide.
Maneb was first registered in the United States in 1962 for use on food and ornamental crops to prevent crop damage in the field and to protect harvested crops from deterioration in storage or transport. Maneb is a member of the ethylene bisdithiocarbamate (EBDC) group of fungicides, which includes the related active ingredients mancozeb and metiram. The EBDCs share the common degradate ethylenethiourea (ETU).
개요Maneb is a pesticide with fungicide properties and belongs to the carbamate (bis-dithiocarbamate) group. Sensitization occurs mainly in farmers and agricultural workers.
용도Maneb is a complex of manganese with the ethylene bis(dithiocarbamate) anionic ligand. Maneb is a foliate fungicide used to protect crops in agriculture. Maneb is also useful in creating a toxin-based animal (usually primates) model of Parkinson's disease.
일반 설명Maneb is a yellow powder or crystalline solid. Maneb is denser than water. Contact may irritate skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Maneb may be toxic by ingestion. Likely to generate heat spontaneously upon exposure to air or water. May be sufficient to ignite the material. Maneb is used as a fungicide. Formulations of Maneb include mixing Maneb with many other chemicals such as sulfur, zinc oxide and others to desensitize it. This is done to make Maneb easer for application.
정의ChEBI: A polymeric complex of manganese with the ethylene bis(dithiocarbamate) anionic ligand. An agrochemical fungicide, it is used to control a variety of diseases including blight, leaf spot, rust, downy mildew and scab.
