In human erythrocytes in vitro, methyl bromide is consumed, probably with formation of a glutathione conjugate. The reaction involves a glutathione S-transferase enzyme that metabolized methyl halides. This enzyme has not been found in erythrocytes of mouse, rat, cattle, sheep, pig or rhesus monkey. The enzyme is present only in part of the human population: among 45 people investigated, only 27 conjugated glutathione with methyl bromide. The enzyme is erythrocytes of conjugators is different from other glutathione S-transferases with respect to substrate specificity, affinity chromatography, and inhibition characteristics; it has been designated as glutathione S-transferase theta.
Bromomethane undergoes initial metabolism primarily by nucleophilic displacement of the bromide ion. When the attacking species is water, the products are methanol and bromide ion. Bromomethane may also react with organic thiols (R-SH) to yield S-methyl derivatives. This has been shown to result in formation of S-methylcysteine derivatives in hemoglobin of mice exposed to bromomethane. Further metabolism of methanol or S-methyl derivatives then leads to the formation of carbon dioxide.
IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Methyl bromide is a colorless gas. Methyl bromide's most prevalent use pattern is as a soil fumigant. It is also used as a post harvest treatment of commodities and structural fumigation. Structural non-food treatments (such as residential buildings) are reportedly no longer performed. It is also used in synthesis of many pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals, either as a methylating agent or as the Grignard reagent, methylmagnesium bromide. HUMAN STUDIES: Methyl bromide can cause severe irritation and corrosive skin injury, blisters and vesicles resembling second-degree burns. In particular, severe injury may occur if gas or liquid is trapped in gloves, boots or other clothing. A number of fatalities have occurred in humans from inhalation of methyl bromide. Overwhelming exposure may cause death from CNS depression and respiratory failure. In addition, inhalation exposure to high levels of methyl bromide may cause direct damage to lungs resulting in chemical pneumonia and edema that also may be fatal. Secondarily, inhalation exposure may damage the central and peripheral nervous system. In cases where damage to the lung is not fatal, death may result from convulsions or coma. Where death has not resulted, CNS and PNS damage may persist, the former as organic brain syndrome and the latter as a peripheral neuropathy in cases of heavy exposure. CNS and PNS damage results more commonly from episodic or high level chronic rather than acute exposure. More rarely, renal and hepatic sequelae may ensue from acute overexposure to methyl bromide. Human experience indicates that acute fatal intoxication can result from exposures to vapor levels as low as 1164 to 1552 mg/cu m, and harmful effects can occur at 388 mg/cu m or more. Systemic poisoning has been reported to occur from a two week exposure (8 hr/day) at about 136 mg/cu m. Symptoms generally increase in severity with increasing levels of exposure and may vary somewhat according to exposure circumstances and individual susceptibility. In sublethal poisoning cases a latency period of 2 to 48 hr (usually about 4 to 6 hr) occurs between exposure and onset of symptoms. Exposure of human lymphocyte cultures to 4.3% methyl bromide for 100 sec increased the frequency of sister chromatid exchanges from 10.0 to 16.8%. Compared to individuals with no history of methyl bromide exposure, samples from exposed workers showed an increased incidence of micronuclei in oropharyngeal cells, and an increased frequency of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase gene (hprt) mutations in lymphocyte. ANIMAL STUDIES: Experimental exposure of a rabbit's eye to pure methyl bromide gas at room temperature for one and one half minutes caused immediate loss of surface luster, followed in several hours by loss of corneal epithelium, and much edema of the conjunctivae and lids. A day later the corneal stroma was bluish, much swollen, and nearly opaque, but within five days the cornea started to clear. Toxic responses in rabbits administered bromomethane sc at 20-120 mg/kg included limb paralysis, cessation of drinking, reduced urine excretion. Levels >50 mg/kg sharply increased the blood bromide level and reduced platelets, serotonin, and water content. Mice were exposed to 0, 0.87, 1.72, 2.20, 2.70, 3.50, 3.82, 4.70, 5.77, or 5.93 mg/L. Animals exposed to 3.50 mg/L or more exhibited kidney lesions. Animals with exposure to 2.20 or 2.70 mg/L showed decreased lung and liver weight. Liver lesions appeared in animals exposed to 4.70 mg/L. Animals exposed to 5.77 mg/L developed decreased motor coordination. Oral administration of 25 and 50 mg/kg bw methyl bromide by gavage for periods of 20, 60, 90 and 120 days, caused ulceration and epithelial hyperplasia of the forestomach in rats without evidence of malignancy. In other experiment, the incidence of adenomas of the pituitary gland was significantly increased in high-dose males compared with controls. In females, no increase in the incidence of tumors related to treatment was observed. No clinical evidence of maternal toxicity, fetoxicity or developmental toxicity was observed in rats. Inseminated rabbits exposed to 70 ppm methyl bromide were terminated due to excessive mortality and neurotoxicity characterized by convulsions and paresis in the hind limbs seen after one week of treatment. Control and 20 ppm exposed rabbits were sacrificed on gestation day 30. No fetoxicity nor developmental toxicity was noted in the 20 ppm group. Alkylation of guanine-N-7 in DNA of liver and spleen was observed after treatment of male mice with (14)C methyl bromide by inhalation. Methyl bromide was mutagenic to Salmonella typhimurium TA100 when tested at concn of 0.02-0.2% in desiccators in absence of metabolic activation. A commercial methyl bromide was mutagenic to Salmonella typhimurium TA1535 and TA100 (but not to TA1538 or TA98) and to Escherchia coli WP2 hcr in the absence of metabolic activation. Micronuclei were induced in bone marrow cells of rats and mice and in peripheral blood cells of mice exposed to methyl bromide by inhalation for 6 hr/day, 5 days/wk for 2 wk. ECOTOXICITY STUDIES: Morphological damage to the gill epithelium, indicative of alkylation of cell membranes, was the most pronounced effect of methyl bromide in carp. Not hazardous to bees when used as described.
Organobromide compounds such as bromomethane are strong alkylating agents. Consequently they can readily modify free thiols (cysteines) and methionine residues of the surfaces of proteins leading to the disruption of enzyme, transporter or membrane functions. The bromide ion (which is produced from bromomethane metabolism in the body) is known to affect the central nervous system, causing a condition called bromism. This is believed to be a result of bromide ions substituting for chloride ions in the in actions of neurotransmitters and transport systems, thus affecting numerous synaptic processes. (L626, L627, T104). However, the exact mechanism of toxicity for methyl bromide is currently uncertain, although its alkylating property as well as the reactive intermediates formed through metabolic transformation remain attractive hypotheses.
Evaluation: There is inadequate evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of methyl bromide. There is limited evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of methyl bromide. Overall evaluation: Methyl bromide is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity in humans (Group 3).

Methyl bromide was rapidly absorbed when rats, beagles, and humans were exposed by inhalation. Rats are believed to be more efficient than humans at absorbing methyl bromide by inhalation exposure, absorbing 50% of the dosage up to approximately 180 ppm. Also in this species, absorption was found to be directly proportional to air concentrations up to about 300 ppm. Absorption also was rapid and extensive (97%) in rats after oral administration (ibid.). After oral or intraperitoneal (ip) administration, methyl bromide also was rapidly absorbed and distributed to various tissues.
Once absorbed after oral or ip administration, methyl bromide is distributed in rats to fat, lung, liver, adrenals, and kidney, with less found in the brain. Thereupon, methyl bromide is rapidly and extensively metabolized to methanol (ultimately to CO2) and bromide. After oral or inhalation exposure, 85% of the dose was eliminated in rats within 65 to 72 hours. Most of the (14)C-radiolabeled dose (30-50%) was recovered as expired CO2, 4-20% as expired parent compound, 16-40% was recovered in the urine, and a small percentage was found in the feces. Extensive enterohepatic circulation was indicated since 46% of the radioactivity was found in bile within the first day after dosing.
Uptake of methyl bromide and pathways for excretion of (14)C were investigated in male Fischer 344 rats after nose only inhalation of 50, 300, 5700, or 10,400 nmoles (1.6 to 310 ppm) of (14)C methyl bromide/l of air for 6 hr. Fractional uptake of methyl bromide decreased at the highest concentrations, with 37 and 27% of the inhaled methyl bromide absorbed, compared to 48% at the lower levels. Total methyl bromide adsorbed was 9 or 40 umol/kg body wt after exposure to 50 or 300 nmol/L, respectively. Exhaled (14)CO2 was the dominant route of excretion, with from 1.2 to 110 umol (50% of amount absorbed) exhaled, and was described by a two component negative exponential function; 85% was exhaled with a half-life of 4 hr, & the remaining 15% was exhaled with a half-life of 17 hr.
Male Fischer 344 rats were exposed nose only to a vapor concentration of 337 nmol (14)C methyl bromide/L air (9.0 ppm, 25 degrees C, 620 torr) for 6 hr. Urine, feces expired air, and tissues were collected for up to 65 hr after exposure. Elimination of (14)C as (14)CO2 was the major route of excretion with about 47% (3900 nmol/rat) of the total (14)C methyl bromide absorbed excreted by this route. Radioactivity was widely distributed in tissues immediately following exposure /with highest (14)C concentrations (in nmol equivalent/g) of: lung (250), adrenal (240), kidney (180), liver (130), and nasal turbinates (110)/.
