Atrazine is a white crystalline solid. Melting point 173-175°C. Sinks in water. A selective herbicide used for season-long weed control in a variety of crops.
Atrazine (ATR) is a widely used chlorotriazine herbicide, a ubiquitous environmental contaminant, and a potential developmental toxicant. To quantitatively evaluate placental/lactational transfer and fetal/neonatal tissue dosimetry of ATR and its major metabolites, physiologically based pharmacokinetic models were developed for rat dams, fetuses and neonates. These models were calibrated using pharmacokinetic data from rat dams repeatedly exposed (oral gavage; 5mg/kg) to ATR followed by model evaluation against other available rat data. Model simulations corresponded well to the majority of available experimental data and suggest that: (1) the fetus is exposed to both ATR and its major metabolite didealkylatrazine (DACT) at levels similar to maternal plasma levels, (2) the neonate is exposed mostly to DACT at levels two-thirds lower than maternal plasma or fetal levels, while lactational exposure to ATR is minimal, and (3) gestational carryover of DACT greatly affects its neonatal dosimetry up until mid-lactation. To test the model's cross-species extrapolation capability, a pharmacokinetic study was conducted with pregnant C57BL/6 mice exposed (oral gavage; 5mg/kg) to ATR from gestational day 12 to 18. By using mouse-specific parameters, the model predictions fitted well with the measured data, including placental ATR/DACT levels. However, fetal concentrations of DACT were overestimated by the model (10-fold). This overestimation suggests that only around 10% of the DACT that reaches the fetus is tissue-bound. These rodent models could be used in fetal/neonatal tissue dosimetry predictions to help design/interpret early life toxicity/pharmacokinetic studies with ATR and as a foundation for scaling to humans.
Atrazine (ATR) is a widely used herbicide. There are several types of reactions in its metabolism. Herein, the mechanism of three paths of hydrolysis reactions in its metabolism and predictions of toxicities of its metabolites in the three paths will be presented. The calculation results by B3LYP (Becke, 3-parameter, Lee-Yang-Parr), one of the approaches in density functional theory, indicated that (1) there were three models in the three hydrolysis paths of ATR. The dissociation mechanisms of C(9/11)-N(8/10), C(4/6)-N(8/10), and C-Cl were dealkylation, deamination, and Cl substitution, respectively. (2) The energy barrier of C-Cl dissociation was lower. The dissociation was advantageous in dynamics and the primary reaction in the three hydrolysis paths. In these hydrolysis reactions, the different intermediates had different concentrations because of the impact of the reaction rate. (3) In addition, it was necessary to consider the solvent effect to investigate hydrolysis reaction. The conductor-like polarizable continuum model (CPCM) was used to simulate the hydrolysis reaction in bond length and energy barrier because of the solvent effect. Experimental or predictive results showed that atrazine and its metabolites in the three hydrolysis paths were carcinogenic.
Compounds of the s-triazine family are among the most heavily used herbicides over the last 30 years. Some of these derivatives are suspected to be carcinogens. In this study the identity of specific phase-I enzymes involved in the metabolism of s-triazine derivatives (atrazine, terbuthylazine, ametryne, and terbutryne) by human liver microsomes was determined. Kinetic studies demonstrated biphasic kinetics for all pathways examined (S-oxidation, N-dealkylation, and side-chain C-oxidation). Low Km values were in a range of about 1-20 uM, whereas high Km values were up to 2 orders of magnitude higher. For a correlation study, 30 human liver microsomal preparations were screened for seven specific P450 activities, and these were compared to activities for the metabolites derived from these s-triazines. A highly significant correlation in the high-affinity concentration range was seen with cytochrome P450 1A2 activities. Chemical inhibition was most effective with alpha-naphthoflavone an furafylline at low s-triazine concentrations and additionally with ketoconazole and gestodene at high substrate concentrations. Studies with 10 heterologously expressed P450 forms demonstrated that several P450 enzymes are capable of oxidizing these s-triazines, with different affinities and regioselectivities. P450 1A2 was confirmed to be the low-Km P450 enzyme involved in the metabolism of these s-triazines. A potential participation of flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMOs) in sulfoxidation reactions of the thiomethyl derivatives ametryne and terbutryne in human liver was also evaluated. Sulfoxide formation in human inhibition indicated no significant involvement of flavin-containing monooxygenases. Finally, purified recombinant FMO3, the major flavin-containing monooxygenase in human liver, exhibited no significant activity (< 0.1 nmol (nmol of FMO3)-1 min-1) in the formation of the parent sulfoxides of ametryne and terbutryne. Therefore, P450 1A2 alone is likely to be responsible for the hepatic oxidative phase-I metabolism of the s-triazine derivatives in exposed humans.
A large number of urinary metabolites was isolated and 15.8% was detected in the carcasses at 72 hr post-exposure. Dealkylation of atrazine in vitro, predominated over glutathione conjugation. Metabolites identified from rat and rabbit urine contained an intact triazine ring suggesting initial loss of ethyl or methyl groups from the alkyl side chains. In the miniature pig, atrazine and its metabolites were seen in urine for slightly more than 24 hr; diethylatrazine was also identified. Excretion by sheep and cattle is rapid with no residues seen in the milk of cows receiving 5 ppm atrazine in the diet for 4 days.
IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Atrazine is a colorless powder. It is used for pre- and post-emergence control of annual broad-leaved weeds and annual grasses. It is also used in combinations with many other herbicides. HUMAN STUDIES: Potential symptoms of overexposure are irritation of eyes and skin, dermatitis, skin sensitization, dyspnea, weakness, incoordination, salivation, hypothermia, and liver injury. Two studies from northern Italy showed elevated risks of ovarian tumors among women exposed to triazine herbicides including atrazine. Small excess risks for cancer at a number of sites were associated with exposure either to unspecified triazine herbicides or specifically to atrazine. There was a positive association between atrazine exposure in drinking water and preterm birth. Atrazine failed to induce clastogenic and aneugenic damage in cultured human lymphocytes with metabolic activation. However, atrazine was found genotoxic in single-cell gel electrophoresis assay by using human peripheral blood lymphocytes with and without metabolic activation. Atrazine also induced unscheduled DNA synthesis in human EUE line cells. ANIMAL STUDIES: Atrazine is minimally irritating to skin and mildly irritating to eyes of rabbits. A 50% formulation was shown to be weakly irritating to the skin but did produce strong eye irritation including edema of the eyelid and conjuctivae of guinea pigs, rabbits, and cats. Cattle and sheep were killed by two daily doses of 250 mg/kg atrazine. Acutely poisoned sheep and cattle exhibited muscular spasms, fasciculations, stiff gait and increased respiratory rates. Adrenal degeneration and congestion of lung, liver and kidneys were observed. Rats fed diets that contained an equivalent of 10 or 50 mg/kg for 6 months showed growth retardation and slight leukopenia along with alterations of selective organ weights. Administration of atrazine by oral gavage at 100-600 mg/kg bw per day to rats for seven or 14 days induced both nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity. Atrazine disrupted the regular 4-day estrous cycles in rats. Short- and long-term studies performed with rats have shown that the mammary tumors induced in rats given high doses of atrazine in the diet are likely to be the result of an accelerating effect on normal, age-related perturbations of the estrous cycle, with resultant increase in exposure to endogenous estrogen and prolactin. The lack of effect of atrazine on the incidence of mammary tumors and other evidence of proliferative activity in ovariectomized rats fed the highest dose tested (400 ppm) suggests a non-genotoxic mechanism of action associated with hormonal imbalance. Atrazine was found to adversely affect the immune system in mice. Subcutaneous injection of atrazine at 800 mg/kg/day on days 3, 6, and 9 of gestation resulted in the death and resorption of some or all of the pups in each litter of rats. Dosages as high as 200 mg/kg by this route did not affect the number of pups per litter nor weight at weaning. Dietary levels up to 1000 ppm (about 50 mg/kg/day) also were harmless. Rats acutely treated with atrazine (100 mg/kg, bw) showed a significant decrease in spontaneous Purkinje cell firing rate. Atrazine also decreased the cerebellar potentials evoked by electrical stimulation of the ipsilateral radial nerve, affecting mostly the response to climbing fiber input. Neurobehavioral development of female and male mice daily exposed from Gestational Day 14 until Postnatal Day 21 to 1 or 100 ug/kg bw atrazine was investigated. Changes in exploratory profile and in affiliative/investigative behavior were observed, revealing a feminization of behavioral profile in atrazine-exposed males. Alteration in learning performance at adulthood was also evident. Atrazine alters steroidogenesis in male rats resulting in elevated serum corticosterone, progesterone, and estrogens. Atrazine is activated by plant enzymes to produce a mutagenic metabolite for Schizosaccharomyces pombe (forward mutation) and Chinese hamster cells (forward mutation). Atrazine is positive in the host mediated assay (mouse, yeast injected intrasanguineously) and induced chromosome aberrations in bone marrow cells of mice after single dose of 1 g/kg and 2 g/kg, respectively. ECOTOXICITY STUDIES: Weakness, tremors, ataxia, and weight loss occurred in mallards 1 hr after oral treatment with atrazine and persisted up to 11 days. In pheasants, remission had occurred by 5 days after treatment. In adult male Japanese quail, significantly longer comet tails of DNA damage in leukocytes and isolated hepatocytes were recorded with 500 mg/kg bw atrazine oral treatment. Atrazine did not mimic the effects of either estradiol or tamoxifen in male quail. Thus, atrazine did not exhibit overt estrogenic or anti-estrogenic activity. Conversely, atrazine augmented the effects of testosterone and estradiol on testis regression. It is concluded that atrazine up to 1000 ppm in the diet may exert some effects on reproductive development in sexually maturing male birds. Both endocrine and physiological effects of short-term, acute exposure to atrazine in juvenile barramundi (Lates calcarifer) was conducted in a controlled laboratory experiment. Expression of hepatic vitellogenin was not affected, supporting the notion that atrazine does not have a direct estrogenic effect via mediation of estrogen receptors. Atrazine exposure had profound influence on the oxidative stress markers and detoxifying enzyme of the exposed zebrafish. Sheepshead minnow embryo-juvenile exposure to atrazine found that a mean measured atrazine concentration of 3.4 mg/L had no effect on hatching success of embryos or growth of juveniles, but significantly reduced juvenile survival. The decrease in amphibian length and weight at metamorphosis may indicate a reduction in fitness in wild populations of anurans exposed to atrazine at 200 to 2,000 ug/L. Atrazine was found nontoxic to bees. Exposure and accumulation of atrazine caused oxidative toxicity and antioxidant response in maize.

Cancer Classification: Not Likely to be Carcinogenic to Humans
Evaluation: There is inadequate evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of atrazine. There is sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of atrazine. Overall evaluation: In making the overall evaluation, the Working Group concluded that the mammary tumors associated with exposure to atrazine involve a non-DNA reactive, hormonally mediated mechanism. In reaching the conclusion, the following evidence was considered: (A) Atrazine produces mammary tumors (fibroadenomas, adenocarcinomas) only in intact female Sprague-Dawley rats (not Fischer 344 rats, CD-1 mice or ovariectomized Sprague-Dawley rats) and does not increase the incidences of other tumor types. (b) Atrazine affects neuroendocrine pathways of the hypothalamus to accelerate the onset of reproductive senescence in female Sprague-Dawley rats but not Fischer 344 rats. (c) Atrazine does not have intrinsic estrogenic activity. (d) There are critical interspecies differences in the hormonal changes associated with reproductive senescence. Therefore, there is strong evidence that the mechanism by which atrazine increased the incidence of mammary gland tumors in Sprague-Dawley rats is not relevant to humans. Atrazine is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3).

Estimation of dioxin emission from fires in chemicals
摘要:
The formation of the 17 toxic 2,3,7,8-substituted PCDDs and PCDFs during combustion of selected chemicals were measured by high-resolution GC/MS. The 16 chemicals studied were commonly used chlorinated pesticides, industrial chemicals, and PVC. In a series of experiments carried out in a DIN 53,436 furnace, 2.5 g of these compounds were burned at 500 degrees C and 900 degrees C, respectively. The resultant yields ranged from 740 ng ITEQ/g for pentachlorophenol, to below 0.01 ng ITEQ/g for PVC and dichlobenil. The results show that some chemicals generate PCDD/F in very high possibly dangerous - amounts during burning, whereas others generate insignificant amounts. The influence of scale were studied for chlorobenzene and 4-chloro-3-nitro-benzoic acid in additional experiments, carried out in a cone calorimeter burning 20 g substance, and in ISO 9705 room test burning about 50 kg. A good agreement between the results for large and small scale indicated that formation of PCCD/F during a fire may be estimated from laboratory experiments. This suggest laboratory test may be used to screen for chemicals posing a hazard for release of PCDD/F during fires. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
