SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses in industry is conflicting. The benefit or detrimental effects of wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses. However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In any event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.

If material not on fire and not involved in fire: Keep sparks, flames, and other sources of ignition away. Keep material out of water sources and sewers. Build dikes to contain flow as necessary. Use water spray to knock-down vapors. Neutralize spilled material with crushed limestone, soda ash, or lime..

Personnel protection: Avoid breathing vapors. Keep upwind. Avoid bodily contact with the material. ... Do not handle broken packages unless wearing appropriate personal protective equipment. Wash away any material which may have contacted the body with copious amounts of water or soap and water. If contact with the material anticipated, wear appropriate chemical protective equipment.

Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Wear protective eyewear (goggles, face shield, or safety glasses), protective clothing and rubber gloves. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, or using tobacco. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse./65 Disinfecting Heavy Duty Acid Bathroom Cleaner/

Management of acute MCADD includes rapid correction of hypoglycemia, rehydration and treatment of the underlying infection or other stress factor. Current long-term therapy includes avoidance of fasting and a high carbohydrate low-fat diet, but it does not fully prevent the crises and the neurological alterations. (A15457)

The duration of the absorption-enhancing effect of sodium octanoate (C8), sodium hexanoate (C6) and glyceryl-l-monooctanoate (MO) on the rectal absorption of gentamicin using the hollow-type suppository was investigated in rabbits. To evaluate the duration of the absorption-enhancing effect by pretreatment (treatment of absorption enhancer before gentamicin administration), suppository I containing each absorption enhancer in the cavity was administered into the rectum. Then suppository II containing gentamicin in the cavity was administered at predetermined times 10.33, 2, 6 and 24 hr after the administration of suppository I. Plasma gentamicin levels obtained by the pretreatment with absorption enhancer were compared with those obtained by the simultaneous administration of gentamicin with absorption enhancer. The AUC and Cmax of gentamicin significantly decreased with the pretreatment of C8-16 and 24 hr, C6-12 and 6 hr or glyceryl-l-monooctanoate 16 and 24 hr before rectal gentamicin administration, as compared with the simultaneous administration of gentamicin with C8, C6 or glyceryl-l-monooctanoate. A marked decrease in the absorption-enhancing effect of C8, C6 and glyceryl-l-monooctanoate on rectal gentamicin absorption was observed by the prolongation of the period between the pretreatment of each absorption enhancer and gentamicin administration. The duration of the absorption-enhancing effect of C6 was shorter than that of C8, whereas this duration of glyceryl-l-monooctanoate was similar to that of C8. The effect of these absorption enhancers disappeared 24 hr after the pretreatment. These results suggested that the lowering of the membrane transport barrier function recovered about one day after the administration of C8 or MO.

Cytochrome oxidase activity was investigated histochemically in the choroid plexus epithelium. Intense staining for the enzyme was exclusively limited to the mitochondria. Rats treated with octanoic acid displayed extensive ultrastructural disruptions in the epithelial cells of the choroid plexus. Mitochondria were fewer in number and more disrupted compared to the control. The enzyme activity was greatly reduced. However, pretreatment with an equimolar dose of L-carnitine followed by octanoic acid injection produced little alteration of either ultrastructure or enzyme staining. This study suggests that L-carnitine supplementation may restore mitochondrial function of the choroid plexus subjected to toxic organic anions in metabolic disorders, and may be useful in the prevention of metabolic encephalopathy.

The effects of sodium caprate and sodium caprylate on transcellular permeation routes were examined in rats. The release of membrane phospholipids was significantly increased only by caprate, while protein release did not change from the control in the presence of caprate or caprylate, indicating that the extent of membrane disruption was insufficient to account for the extent of the enhanced permeation. Using brush border membrane vesicles prepared from colon, with their protein and lipid component labeled by fluorescent probes, the perturbing actions of caprate and caprylate toward the membrane were examined by fluorescence polarization. Caprate interacted with membrane protein and lipids, and caprylate mainly with protein, causing perturbation to the membrane. The release of 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein previously included in brush border membrane vesicles was increased by caprate but not by caprylate ... /Sodium caprylate/

/In the/ Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay ... octanoic acid inhibited the mutagenic activity of N-nitrosodimethylamine in E. coli bacteria and the extent to which this mutagen methylated DNA in cultured calf thymus cells.

Octanoic (OA) and decanoic (DA) acids are the predominant metabolites accumulating in medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD; E.C. 1.3.99.3) deficiency (MCADD), the most common inherited defect of fatty acid oxidation. Glycine and l-carnitine bind to these fatty acids giving rise to derivatives that also accumulate in this disorder. The clinical presentation typically occurs in early childhood but can occasionally be delayed until adulthood. The major features of the disease include hypoglycemia, vomiting, lethargy and encephalopathy after fasting, infection or other metabolic stressors. (A15457)

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 1,100 for the free acid(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 3.05(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that undissociated octanoic acid is expected to have low mobility in soil(SRC). The pKa of octanoic acid is 4.89(4), indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(5). Volatilization of octanoic acid from moist soil is not expected to be an important fate process because the acid is in the anion form and anions do not volatilize(SRC). Octanoic acid is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 3.71X10-3 mm Hg(6). In Warburg respirometer tests using an activated sludge seed, octanoic acid reached 9.8, 20.4, and 32.8% of its theoretical oxygen demand after 6, 12, and 24 hours incubation, respectively(7), suggesting that biodegradation may be an important environmental fate process in soil(SRC).

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 1,100 for the free acid(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 3.05(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that undissociated octanoic acid is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). A pKa of 4.89(4) indicates octanoic acid will exist almost entirely in the anion form at pH values of 5 to 9 and therefore volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(5). According to a classification scheme(6), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from its log Kow(2) and a regression-derived equation(7), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). In Warburg respirometer tests using an activated sludge seed, octanoic acid reached 9.8, 20.4, and 32.8% of its theoretical oxygen demand after 6, 12, and 24 hours incubation, respectively(8), suggesting that biodegradation may be 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), octanoic acid, which has a vapor pressure of 3.71X10-3 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase octanoic 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 1.9 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 8.3X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Octanoic 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).

Octanoic acid was identified as a volatile component of raw beef(1). Octanoic acid has been identified as a volatile flavor component of mutton and beef(2). Octanoic acid was a volatile constituent detected in strawberry jam at a concn of 2.9 mg/kg(3). Octanoic acid was found in popcorn using wet extraction method at 19 ug/kg(4). Octanoic acid was found as a volatile component of raw and roasted earth-almond (Cyperus esculentus l.)(5).

The CIR Expert Panel concluded that the following ingredients are safe in the present practices of use andconcentration described in the safety assessment when formulated to be non-irritating and non-sensitizing, which may be basedon a QRA...Caprylic Acid...

Safe for use in cosmetics, with qualifications

The existing information was reviewed by the independent Expert Panel for Fragrance Safety and supports the use of Octanoic acid as described in this fragrance ingredient safety assessment. Data show that it is not genotoxic and provide a calculated Margin of Exposure (MOE) greater than 100 for the repeated dose toxicity and reproductive toxicity endpoints. Data show that there are no safety concerns for skin sensitization under the current declared levels of use. Octanoic acid is not expected to be photoirritating/photoallergenic based on evaluation of the ultraviolet/visible (UV/Vis) spectra. The local respiratory toxicity endpoint was evaluated using the TTC for a Cramer Class I material and the exposure is below the TTC (1.4 mg/day).

It has been demonstrated that octanoic (OA) and decanoic (DA) acids compromise the glycolytic pathway and citric acid cycle functioning, increase oxygen consumption in the liver and inhibit some activities of the respiratory chain complexes and creatine kinase in rat brain (A15454, A15455). These fatty acids were also shown to induce oxidative stress in the brain (A15456). Experiments suggest that OA and DA impair brain mitochondrial energy homeostasis that could underlie at least in part the neuropathology of MCADD. (A15457)
