Reactivity ProfileLACTIC ACID is a carboxylic acid. Carboxylic acids donate hydrogen ions if a base is present to accept them. They react in this way with all bases, both organic (for example, the amines) and inorganic. Their reactions with bases, called "neutralizations", are accompanied by the evolution of substantial amounts of heat. Neutralization between an acid and a base produces water plus a salt. Carboxylic acids with six or fewer carbon atoms are freely or moderately soluble in waterthose with more than six carbons are slightly soluble in water. Soluble carboxylic acid dissociate to an extent in water to yield hydrogen ions. The pH of solutions of carboxylic acids is therefore less than 7.0. Many insoluble carboxylic acids react rapidly with aqueous solutions containing a chemical base and dissolve as the neutralization generates a soluble salt. Carboxylic acids in aqueous solution and liquid or molten carboxylic acids can react with active metals to form gaseous hydrogen and a metal salt. Such reactions occur in principle for solid carboxylic acids as well, but are slow if the solid acid remains dry. Even "insoluble" carboxylic acids may absorb enough water from the air and dissolve sufficiently in it to corrode or dissolve iron, steel, and aluminum parts and containers. Carboxylic acids, like other acids, react with cyanide salts to generate gaseous hydrogen cyanide. The reaction is slower for dry, solid carboxylic acids. Insoluble carboxylic acids react with solutions of cyanides to cause the release of gaseous hydrogen cyanide. Flammable and/or toxic gases and heat are generated by the reaction of carboxylic acids with diazo compounds, dithiocarbamates, isocyanates, mercaptans, nitrides, and sulfides. Carboxylic acids, especially in aqueous solution, also react with sulfites, nitrites, thiosulfates (to give H2S and SO3), dithionites (SO2), to generate flammable and/or toxic gases and heat. Their reaction with carbonates and bicarbonates generates a harmless gas (carbon dioxide) but still heat. Like other organic compounds, carboxylic acids can be oxidized by strong oxidizing agents and reduced by strong reducing agents. These reactions generate heat. A wide variety of products is possible. Like other acids, carboxylic acids may initiate polymerization reactionslike other acids, they often catalyze (increase the rate of) chemical reactions. Slowly corrodes most metals (USCG, 1999).

Preventive MeasuresSRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses by industrial workers is inconsistent. The benefits 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.Precautions for safe handling: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of vapor or mist.Appropriate engineering controls: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

체내 부담Lactic acid was found to be excreted by humans through urine at a rate of 40 mg/kg body weight/day and through sweat at 45-452 mg/100 mL(1).
상호 작용The effects of local myocardial administration of lactic acid and low-dose edaravone were investigated to determine if this combination provides benefits similar to mechanical postconditioning. We randomly divided 108 rats into 6 groups: sham, reperfusion injury, postconditioning (Post), lacticacid (Lac), low-dose edaravone (Eda), and lactic acid + low-dose edaravone (Lac+Eda). The left coronary arteries of the rats were occluded for 45 minutes, before the administration of the treatments. The rats were euthanized at different time points to examine the infarct size and serum markers of myocardial injury and apoptosis and measure the expression of signal pathway markers. We found that the infarct areas caused by ischemic-reperfusion injury were reduced largely by postconditioning and Lac+Eda injectiona similar trend was observed for serum markers of myocardial injury, apoptosis, and hemodynamic parameters. Compared with the Post group, the Lac+Eda group had similar blood pH values, levels of reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial absorbance, and levels of signal pathway marker. The Lac and Eda groups partly mimicked the protective role. These data suggest that local myocardial administration of lactic acid and low dose of edaravone initiates protective signal pathways of mechanical postconditioning and replicates the myocardial protection.Excretion of carbon dioxide and L-lactic acid through exhalation and perspiration provides olfactory signals to mosquitoes which allow them to find and bite humanshowever, mosquito species differ in this regard. This study investigated upwind responses of Anopheles stephensi, mysorensis form, an important malaria vector in Asia, to carbon dioxide and L-lactic acid under laboratory conditions. While a minimal dose of carbon dioxide (90 ppm) activated the mosquitoes, 10 times this amount suppressed them. L-lactic acid alone did not produce a significant effect by itself, but addition of 6 ug/min of L-lactic acid to a range of 90 to 410 ppm carbon dioxide resulted in attraction. The results provide further support for the hypothesis that CO2 plays an important role in the host-seeking behavior of zoophilic mosquitoes, and suggests that L-lactic acid might play a more critical role than CO2 in the attraction of An. stephensi.During the pulmonary edema stage ... metabolic acidosis may occur because of increased lactic acid production in response to hypoxemia. /NO2-induced acute lung injury/Burning and/or stinging is one of the most common concerns expressed by patients using topical therapies for treatment of dermatologic disorders. Topical lactic acid preparations often are used to treat dry scaly skin. In this study, we compared the level of burning/stinging reported by participants with application of lactic acid cream 10% containing strontium versus ammonium lactate lotion 12% and cetearyl alcohol lotion. The mean rating of burning/stinging reported for lactic acid cream 10% with strontium and cetearyl alcohol lotion was lower than ammonium lactate lotion 12% (P<.0001). Based on the study results, lactic acid cream 10% with strontium causes less burning/stinging than ammonium lactate lotion 12%.For more Interactions (Complete) data for LACTIC ACID (6 total), please visit the HSDB record page.

환경 거동TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), experimentally-derived Koc values ranging from <0.08 to <20.9(2,3), indicate that lactic acid is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). The pKa of lactic acid is 3.86(4), indicating that this compound will exist partially to almost entirely as an anion 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 lactic acid from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 9.6X10-9 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 0.0813 mm Hg(6), and an assigned value for water solubility of 1.0X10+6 mg/L (miscible)(7). Lactic acid is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(6). A 76% of theoretical BOD using activated sludge in a 2-week Japanese MITI test indicates lactic acid is readily biodegradable(8) and suggests that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process in soil(SRC). Other screening tests have also found lactic acid to biodegrade readily(9-11).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), experimentally-derived Koc values ranging from <0.08 to <20.9(2,3), indicate that lactic acid is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(4) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 9.6X10-9 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 0.0813 mm Hg(5), and an assigned value for water solubility of 1.0X10+6 mg/L (miscible)(6). The pKa of lactic acid is 3.86(7), indicating that this compound will exist partially to almost entirely in the anion form in the environment(SRC). The anion form will not volatilize, but by analogy to the similar acetic acid(8), lactic acid is expected to have a measurable Henry's Law constant even when almost entirely ionized. According to a classification scheme(9), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from a log Kow of -0.72(10) and a regression-derived equation(11), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). A 76% of theoretical BOD using activated sludge in a 2-week Japanese MITI test indicates lactic acid is readily biodegradable(12) and suggests that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process in water(SRC). Other screening tests have also found lactic acid to biodegrade readily(13-15). Hydrolysis is not expected to be an important environmental fate process since this compound lacks functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions(4).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), lactic acid, which has a vapor pressure of 0.0813 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase lactic 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 2.7 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 5.9X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Lactic 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).
식품 조사 수치Lactic acid was detected as a flavoring constituent of Nigerian gari (a type of tapioca made from cassava (Manihot esculenta) tubers)(1). Lactic acid occurs in sour milk as a result of lactic acid bacteria(2). Lactic acid is also found in molasses due to partial conversion of sugars, in apples and other fruits, tomato juice, beer, wines, opium, ergot, foxglove, and several higher plants, especially during germination(2). Lactic acid is present in many foods both naturally or as a product of in situ microbial fermentation, as in sauerkraut, yogurt, buttermilk, sourdough breads, and many other fermented foods(3).Lactic acid occurrence in plants(1).[Table#2133]

Milk ConcentrationsENVIRONMENTAL: The purpose of this study was to determine if breast milk composition changed significantly following exercise conducted at different intensities. Nine postpartum women exercised on a treadmill up to maximal oxygen uptake (100% of VO2max) on the first laboratory visit, for 30 minutes on two subsequent occasions (50% and 75% of VO2max) and also performed a nonexercise control session. Blood and breast milk were collected prior to exercise, immediately after exercise, and at 30, 60, and 90 minutes postexercise. Blood samples were analyzed for lactic acid (LA) while milk samples were analyzed for LA, pH, lipid, ammonium, and urea. Milk LA after the 100% intensity session was significantly elevated through 90 minutes postexercise, while there was no significant increase in milk LA at any collection time after the 50% or 75% intensity sessions. There were no significant differences in milk pH, lipid, ammonium, or urea measurements after any of the exercise sessions. These data show that unlike maximum intensity exercise, moderate intensity exercise does not increase breast milk LA content.ENVIRONMENTAL: The purpose of this study was to observe the infant acceptance of postexercise breast milk. Twenty-six lactating postpartum women exercised to maximum (maximum oxygen consumption = 35.1 +/- 9.2 [SD] mL min-1 kg-1) on a treadmill. Breast milk was collected via self-expression at rest before exercise and at 10 and 30 minutes postexercise and analyzed for lactic acid by enzymatic methods. Following exercise, infants were presented with their mothers' pre-exercise and postexercise milk in a double-blind design. The mother rated the infant's acceptance of the milk samples. There was a significant difference in acceptance of pre-exercise and postexercise milk as analyzed by analysis of variance. Maximal exercise resulted in a significant increase in lactic acid concentration in breast milk that may be high enough to affect the taste of the milk. The decreased acceptance of postexercise milk was associated with increased lactic acid concentration. Suggestions to circumvent the decreased acceptance are offered.
독성 요약Based on the available information included in this report, the CIR Expert Panel concludes that Glycolic and Lactic Acid, their common salts and their simple esters, are safe for use in cosmetic products at concentrations less than or equal to 10%, at final formulation pH greater than or equal to 3.5, when formulated to avoid increasing sun sensitivity or when directions for use include the daily use of sun protection. These ingredients are safe for use in salon products at concentrations less than or equal to 30%, at final formulation pH greater than or equal to 3.0, in products designed for brief, discontinuous use followed by thorough rinsing from the skin, when applied by trained professionals, and when application is accompanied by directions for the daily use of sun protection...Lactic Acid...Safe for use in cosmetics, with qualificationsIDENTIFICATION AND USE: Lactic acid forms yellow to colorless crystals or syrupy 50% liquid. It has multiple uses in dyeing baths, as mordant in printing woolen goods, solvent for water-insoluble dyes. It is also used for reducing chromates in mordanting wool, in manufacture of cheese, confectionery. Lactic acid is a component of babies' milk formulasacidulant in beveragesalso used for acidulating worts in brewing. It is used in prepn of sodium lactate injections, and as ingredient of cosmetics, component of spermatocidal jellies. Other uses: for removing Clostridium butyricum in manufacture of yeastdehairing, plumping, and decalcifying hides, solvent for cellulose formate, flux for soft solder. Lactic acid is used to manufacture lactates which are used in food products, in medicine, and as solvents. It is also a plasticizer, catalyst in the casting of phenolaldehyde resins. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: Its effect on eye is similar to that of other acid of moderate strength, causing initial epithelial coagulation on cornea and conjunctiva, but having good prognosis if promptly washed off with water. In man, accidental intraduodenal administration of 100 mL 33% lactic acid was fatal within 12 hours. Hyperlactatemia and lactic acidosis are among the most dangerous and life-threatening side effect that occurs during therapy with some nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Lactic acidosis is associated with both inherited and acquired metabolic diseases. Lactic acid metabolism in the presence of altered gluconeogenesis, anaerobic glycolysis, and acid-base balance is a major factor in many disorders. Lactic acid can be formed only from pyruvic acidtherefore, disorders that increase pyruvate concentration, enhance lactic acid formation, or reduce lactic acid degradation cause lactic acidosis. Inborn metabolic errors that are accompanied by derangement of metabolic pathways of glucose, pyruvate, amino acids, and organic acids as well as toxic and systemic conditions that promote tissue hypoxia or mitochondrial injury result in lactic acidosis. ANIMAL STUDIES: Applied to rabbit eyes in a standard manner, the reaction at twenty-four hours has been graded 8 on scale of 1 to 10. If allowed to remain on rabbit eyes, both the full strength acid and a 50% solution in water have caused corneal necrosis and persistent stromal scarring. Groups of male rats, five per group, were dosed with 0.5 mL of 130, 650, or 1300 mg/2000 kg body wt lactic acid via stomach tubethe control group received the same volume of water. Two rats of the 650-mg group and one rat of the 1300-mg group died within 24 hr of dosing. The rats were dosed with the same amounts of lactic acid after 8 days. Two rats of the 1300 mg group dieddyspnea, snivel, vomiting, and abdominal inflation were observed in these animals immediately after dosing. No overt toxic effects were observed in pigs given approximately 3.6-18 g/kg lactic acid in feed or water for up to 5 months. Drunken lamb syndrome has been described as lamb D-lactic acidosis syndrome. In developmental study, twelve mice were dosed daily with 570 mg/kg lactic acid by gavage on days 6 to 15 of gestationa control group of 13 mice received distilled water. All dams were killed on day 18 of gestation. No significant difference was observed in gestational body weight gain between test and control animals, but feed consumption was significantly decreased as compared to control values. Also, relative maternal liver weight was significantly decreased as compared to controls. The only observed effect on the fetus was a statistically significant increase in delayed ossification of the parietal bones. Female rabbits were dosed orally with 0.1 - 0.2 g/kg lactic acid in 100 -150 mL water twice daily for 5 months, and five female rabbits were dosed orally with 0.1 - 0.7 g/kg lactic acid in 50 - 100 mL water twice daily for 16 months (13 months actual treatment). No tumors were reported after 5 or 16 months, respectively. Negative results were obtained when the mutagenic potential of lactic acid, 90.5% pure, in phosphate buffer was assayed in an Ames test using S. typhimurium strains TA92, TA1535, TA100, TA1537, TA94, and TA98 with metabolic activation. Negative results were obtained in an Ames test for 1000 ug/mL 11 mM lactic acid using a clonal subline of Chinese hamster fibroblasts derived from lung tissue in the absence of metabolic activation. Lactic acid was negative for chromosomal aberrations. ECOTOXICITY STUDIES: Feeding of 10% lactic acid to birds has been blamed for the development of polyneuritic crises resembling B1 deficiency on diets rich in carbohydrates, proteins or fats.Accumulation of L-lactic acid in the body has been shown to be toxic. At times of lactic acidosis, when excess intracellular lactate is released into the blood, maintenance of electroneutrality of the blood requires that a cation be released into the blood, as well. This can reduce blood pH. Lactate may exert a strong action over GABAergic networks in the developing brain, making them more inhibitory than it was previously assumed, acting either through better support of metabolites, or alterations in base intracellular pH levels, or both.
