ДИАЗИНОН

Описание

Diazinon is a non-systemic organophosphate insecticide formerly used to control cockroaches, silverfish, ants, and fleas in residential, non-food buildings. Diazinon functions as the inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), which breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) into [choline] and an acetate group. The inhibition of the AChE causes an abnormal accumulation of ACh in the synaptic cleft. However, recent studies have shown that diazinon and other kinds of organophosphate can cause neural toxicity through causing oxidative stress in the neural cells.

Химические свойства

Diazinon is available as a colorless or dark brown liquid. It is sparingly soluble in water but very soluble in petroleum ether, alcohol, and benzene. Diazinon is used for the control of a variety of agricultural and household pests. These include pests in soil, on ornamental plants, fruit, vegetable, crops pests, and household pests like fl ies, fl eas, and cockroaches. Diazinon undergoes decomposition on heating above 120°C and produces toxic fumes, such as nitrogen oxides, phosphorous oxides, and sulfur oxides. It reacts with strong acids and alkalis with the possible formation of highly toxic tetra ethyl thiopyrophosphates. Diazinon is classifi ed as an RUP. Depending on the type of formulation, diazinon is classifi ed as toxicity class II, meaning moderately toxic, or toxicity class III, meaning slightly toxic.

Использование

Diazinon is used to control a wide range of sucking and chewing insects and mites in a very wide range of crops and is also used as a veterinary ectoparasiticide.

Определение

ChEBI: A member of the class of pyrimidines that is pyrimidine carrying an isopropyl group at position 2, a methyl group at position 6 and a (diethoxyphosphorothioyl)oxy group at position 4.

Возможный контакт

roducers, formulators and applicators of this nonsystemic pesticide and acaricide. Diazinon is used in the United States on a wide variety of agricultural crops, ornamentals, domestic animals; lawns and gardens; and household pests.

Канцерогенность

Among 23,106 male applicators participating in the Agricultural Health Study who reported using diazinon, there was an increased risk with exposure to diazinon for lung cancer, leukemia, and all cancer sites combined, although the small number of cases observed makes these estimates unreliable .

Метаболический путь

The main route of diazinon metabolism in soil, plants and animals is through cleavage of the P-O-pyrimidine group to yield 2-isopropyl-4- methyl-6-hydroxypyrimidine. As with most other phosphorothioates, loss of the pyrimidinyl function in mammalian metabolism probably occurs either through oxidative desulfuration of the thiono group, catalysed by microsomal mixed function oxidases, to give diazoxon followed by hydrolysis catalysed by an A-esterase, or via an oxidative mechanism catalysed by a mixed function oxidase acting directly on diazinon. In the first case the second product is diethyl phosphate and in the second, diethyl phosphorothioate (Yang et al., 1971). Further metabolism then leads to hydroxylation of the methyl and isopropyl groups on the pyrimidine ring. This oxidative metabolism may the act on the pyrimidinol, diazoxon or diazinon itself, the last of which seems to be important in mammalian and avian liver and gives rise to metabolites which still have anticholinesterase or latent anticholinesterase activity.

Метаболизм

The main biodegradation pathway in mammals, plants, and soils is pyrimidinyl ester bond cleavage; the principal metabolites are diethyl phosphorothioate and diethyl phosphate. Degradation in the environment involves oxidation to diazoxon and hydrolysis.

Несовместимости

Reaction with nitrosating agents (e.g., nitrites, nitrous gases, nitrous acid) capable of releasing carci- nogenic nitrosamines. Hydrolyzes slowly in water and dilute acid. Reacts with strong acids and alkalis with possible forma- tion of highly toxic tetraethyl thiopyrophosphates. Incompatible with copper-containing compounds. Contact with oxidizers may cause the release of phosphorous oxides. Contact with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides; may cause the formation of flammable and toxic phosphine gas.

Утилизация отходов

Diazinon is hydrolyzed in acid media about 12 times as rapidly as parathion, and at about the same rate as parathion in alkaline media. In excess water this compound yields diethylthiophosphoric acid and 2-isopropyl-4-methyl-6-hydroxypyrimidine. With insufficient water, highly toxic tetraethyl monothiopyropho- sphate is formed. Therefore, incineration would be a prefer- able ultimate disposal method with caustic scrubbing of the incinerator effluent . In accordance with 40CFR165, follow recommendations for the disposal of pesticides and pesticide containers. Must be disposed properly by follow- ing package label directions or by contacting your local or federal environmental control agency, or by contacting your regional EPA office.

Меры предосторожности

Workers should avoid eye contact with diazinon, wear chemical safety glasses or goggles, protective clothing or equipment, wear waterproof boots, long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and a hat. Workers should avoid contamination of food and feed, wash thoroughly after handling and before eating or smoking. In fact, occupational workers should avoid eating, drinking, or smoking in areas of work with the chemical.
