Chemical: Bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one, 1,7,7-trimethyl-, (1S)-

(1S)-(-)-Camphor: Does not have an individual approval but may be used under an appropriate group standard

SYMPTOMS: Ingestion of this compound may cause nausea, vomiting, vertigo, mental confusion, delirium, convulsions, coma, respiratory failure or death. It may also cause a burning sensation, coughing, wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, severe irritation and possible destruction to the tissues of the mucous membranes, upper respiratory tract, eyes and skin. Other symptoms may include congestion and edematous changes in the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys and brain. Ingestion may result in burning in the mouth and throat, epigastric pain, thirst, feeling of tension, dizziness, irrational behavior, unconsciousness, rigidity, rapid pulse, slow respiration, twitching of the facial muscles and muscular spasms. Other symptoms may include flickering, darkening or veiling of vision, noises in the ears and weakness. Exposure to this compound may also result in a feeling of warmth, depression of the central nervous system, difficult breathing, a characteristic breath odor and anuria. Colic may also be a symptom of exposure. Other symptoms may include eye irritation, sore throat, excitement, fever, bluish lips, pale face, loss of sense of smell and agitation.

May cause severe skin, eye, mucous membrane, and upper respiratory tract irritation; May cause CNS depression and other nervous system effects; Harmful by ingestion, inhalation, and skin absorption; [NTP] Causes convulsions in oral lethal-dose studies of rats; [RTECS] Camphor used topically during pregnancy in not likely to cause teratogenic effects; [TERIS] An irritant; Readily absorbed through skin; Targets the liver, kidney, and nerves; Ingestion may cause vertigo, confusion, clonic convulsions, coma, respiratory failure, and death; [Sigma-Aldrich MSDS] See Camphor, synthetic.

L-CAMPHOR may be sensitive to heat and direct sunlight. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong reducing agents and chlorinated solvents. Also incompatible with potassium permanganate. Salts of any kind should not be added to it in water. Reacts violently with chromic anhydride (NTP, 1992).

EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.

SMALL SPILLS AND LEAKAGE: Should a spill occur while you are handling this chemical, FIRST REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION, then you should dampen the solid spill material with 60-70% ethanol and transfer the dampened material to a suitable container. Use absorbent paper dampened with 60-70% ethanol to pick up any remaining material. Seal the absorbent paper, and any of your clothes, which may be contaminated, in a vapor-tight plastic bag for eventual disposal. Solvent wash all contaminated surfaces with 60-70% ethanol followed by washing with a soap and water solution. Do not reenter the contaminated area until the Safety Officer (or other responsible person) has verified that the area has been properly cleaned.

Camphor exerts an analgesic action when applied topically by producing a warm sensation. It excites and desensitizes sensory nerves by activating heat-sensitive TRP vanilloid subtype 1 (TRPV1) and TRPV3 receptors. (S)-camphor is reported to exert a weaker action on TRPV1 channels, which is thought to be a result of tachyphylaxis, which is the reduction of the response to multiple stimulations.

TRPV3 cation channels are molecular sensors that play a role in nociception and thermosensation by inducing thermal sensation and heat-induced hyperalgesia. Camphor interacts with TRPV3 channels via pore-region cysteine residues, leading to channel activation and a rise in intracellular calcium levels. Camphor also activates TRPV1 and a TRPV1-like current in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons but inhibits the ankyrin-repeat TRP 1 (TRPA1) channel expressed in most nociceptive DRG neurons, which is responsible for the detection of temperature. The precise role of TRPA1 current inhibition on the analgesic properties of camphor is unclear. Repeated stimulation by camphor leads to sensitization of the TRPV1 and TRPV3 channels, resulting in desensitization, or reduced channel response that likely leads to the analgesic effects of camphor. Camphor also activates cold-sensitive transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) and sensitizes cold-induced calcium transients, which explains the cooling effect of camphor following dermal application. Additionally, camphor was shown to inhibit the TRPM8 receptor response to menthol.

Absorption of camphor in the mucous membranes and the gastrointestinal tract is rapid, and peak concentration following oral ingestion occurs within 5 to 90 minutes.

Camphor undergoes renal excretion.

Volume of distribution of camphor is 2 to 4 L/kg. Camphor and its metabolites are relatively fat-soluble thus may accumulate in adipose and other tissues. Camphor ingested by mothers was present in amnionic fluid, cord and fetal blood and fetal brain, liver and kidneys.

No pharmacokinetic data available.
