Acute Dust Inhalation Toxicity Study with Triphenyltin Fluoride in Albino Rats

Elliott CB

An acute dust inhalation toxicity study using albino rats as experimental animals was performed for the compound triphenyltin-fluoride. The acute dust inhalation median lethal concentration of the test compound is 0.29 milligrams per liter of air based on a four hour exposure period. Untoward behavioral reactions exhibited by the animals included gasping, bloody nasal discharge, bloody ocular discharge, and weakness. Body weight gains of the survivors of the 14 day observation period were less than normal. Gross pathologic observation revealed mild to severe focal discoloration of the lungs in all test animals.

We isolated the highly potent attachment-inhibitors (three times more active than standard CuSO4 in the blue mussel assay), trans-6-, 8-, and 10-shogaols, from a hexane extract of the roots of ginger, Zingiber officinale Roscoe. Trans-8-shogaol showed the highest antifouling activity comparable with that of tributyltin fluoride (TBTF), which is recognized as one of the most effective antifouling agents, in the conventional submerged assay.

A study of the applicability of various ionization methods and tandem mass spectrometry in the analyses of triphenyltin compounds.

BIOSIS COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. Triphenyltin compounds are widely introduced into the Dutch aquatic environment. To be able to detect them in environmental samples, the ionization methods of electron ionization, chemical ionization, fast atom bombardment, field desorption, thermospray and electrospray have been applied to triphenyltin acetate, chloride, fluoride and hydroxide to find out which of these methods is best suited to obtain molecular weight information on the intact molecules. For this purpose, field desorption is shown to be the most appropriate method giving, without fragmentation, molecular ion peaks, with the exception of triphenyltin hydroxide. The latter compound gives rise to the base peak at m/z 716, due to the formation of bis(triphenyltin)oxide. Field desorption tandem mass spectrometry, applied to the molecular ions, has shown that the main decomposition pathway corresponds to the loss of a phenyl radical. Subsequently, sediment and surface water samples from the Dutch inland wat

BIOSIS COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. The growing awareness over the environmental fate of organotin compound is reflected in the large number of analytical methods developed for their speciation. Organotin compounds have varying degrees of toxicological properties, depending on the nature and number of alkyl groups bonded to the tin atom. Most of the analytical speciation methods applied to actual environmental media have involved prior derivatization to transform organotin compounds into volatile hydrophobic analytes amenable to separation and Identification by gas chromatography coupled to a sensitive and selective tin detector. Evidence exists that members of the same homologous series are related by environmental degradation pathways. Chemical treatment prior to analysis, or high temperatures associated with gas chromatography separation, may alter the relative amounts of organotins in samples and blur the true environment picture. To avoid species redistribution that may occur during derivatization or [abstract truncated]

BIOSIS COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. The speciation of some triphenyltin compounds i.e. triphenyltin hydroxide, triphenyltin chloride, triphenyltin fluoride, under varying salinity and pH conditions, was studied by Mossbauer spectroscopy in both anoxic and oxic estuarine sediments. The results indicate that altering the pH or salinity of the sediment environment does not apparently affect the speciation of these compounds.

Triphenyltin fluoride in vitro inhibition of rabbit platelet collagen-induced aggregation and ATP secretion and blockade of arachidonic acid mobilization from membrane phospholipids.

Manabe S, Wada O, Matsui H, Takada M, Kobayashi N, Maekawa T.

Recent studies have demonstrated that triphenyltin fluoride (TPTF) inhibits collagen-induced aggregation and ATP secretion of rabbit platelets in vivo [S. Manabe and O. Wada, J. Toxic. Sci. 6, 236 (1981)]. The aim of the present investigation was to test the effects in vitro of TPTF on platelet aggregation and to elucidate the mechanism of the inhibitory action by studying the release and metabolism of arachidonic acid and the cyclic AMP contents of rabbit platelets treated in vitro with TPTF. Although no inhibitory effect of TPTF was found on sodium arachidonate-induced platelet aggregation and ATP secretion, TPTF inhibited both reactions induced by collagen. Triphenylarsine and triphenylantimony did not inhibit, even at a concentration of 10(-3) M. The anti-aggregating concentration (IC50) of TPTF was 6.0 x 10(-6) M against collagen. TPTF had no inhibitory effect on the conversion of exogenous arachidonic acid to malondialdehyde (MDA) by platelets, while the collagen-induced production of arachidonate metabolites [MDA, 12-L-hydroxy-5,8,10-heptadecatrienoic acid (HHT) and thromboxane B2] was remarkably inhibited by TPTF. Furthermore, TPTF apparently inhibited the collagen-induced release of arachidonic acid from platelets, although the formation of phosphatidic acid was not inhibited. Total cyclic AMP content after TPTF exposure was not changed significantly. These results indicate that TPTF inhibited the collagen-induced arachidonic acid release from platelet phospholipids, presumably by acting on phospholipase A2. Furthermore, it seems unlikely that the inhibition of arachidonic acid release by TPTF can be explained by the level of cyclic AMP in platelets.

[The effect of triphenyltin fluoride on aggregation, ATP secretion and malondialdehyde formation of rabbit platelets in vitro]

[Article in Japanese]

Manabe S, Wada O, Matsui H, Ono T, Arakawa Y, Iwai H.

Recent studies have demonstrated that triphenyltin fluoride (TPTF), widely used as an agricultural chemical and a marine antifoulant, inhibits collagen-induced platelet aggregation and ATP secretion in rabbits ex vivo. The aim of the present investigation was to elucidate the mechanism of the inhibitory action of TPTF by investigating platelet malondialdehyde (MDA) formation, aggregation and ATP secretion following the stimulation by various stimuli of rabbit platelets treated in vitro with TPTF, other triphenyl metals and aspirin. Although no inhibitory effect of TPTF was found on sodium arachidonate-induced platelet aggregation and ATP secretion, TPTF inhibited dose-dependently both platelet aggregation and ATP secretion induced by collagen. The antiaggregating (IC50) concentration of TPTF was 6.0 X 10(-6) M against collagen. In addition, TPTF prevented the collagen-, and thrombin-induced formation of MDA, but had little inhibitory effect on the conversion of exogenous arachidonic acid to MDA in platelets. In contrast, aspirin (10(-3) M) inhibited platelet aggregation, ATP secretion and MDA formation induced by all the stimuli tested. Other triphenyl metals did not any inhibitory effect on collagen-, and sodium arachidonate-induced platelet aggregation and ATP secretion even at a final concentration at 10(-3) M. These results suggest that TPTF has a specific inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation and ATP secretion by acting at some step(s) of platelet membrane between the binding site of collagen and thrombin and the release of arachidonic acid.

Report of a case of occupational irritant contact folliculitis due to triphenyl tin fluoride (TPTF) in a worker manufacturing antifouling paint. Contact allergy was excluded by patch testing with TPTF. An attempt to reproduce the follicular reaction in man, rabbit and guinea pig proved unsuccessful. The follicular reaction pattern may be dependent not only on the substance but also on the subject and the exposure circumstances.

[Recent progress in the study of analytical methods, toxicity, metabolism and health effects of organotin compounds]

[Article in Japanese]

Wada O, Manabe S, Iwai H, Arakawa Y.

Over the years, a variety of uses has been found of organic tin compounds as fungicides, as stabilizers in plastics and for other industrial uses. The purpose of this article is to summarize and review the results so far obtained as to the analytical method for organotins in biological samples, the toxicity, metabolism, and biochemical and health effects of organotin compounds.
1) Many methods have been developed for analysis of organotin compounds by spectrophotometry, polarography, gas- or liquid-chromatography, etc. These methods, however, are mainly for analysis of organotins in standard solutions or in wate
r, and are not suitable for organotin compounds in biological samples. Recently, we have developed several methods for analysis of various kinds of organotin compounds in biological samples. These methods are able simultaneously to separate and determine trace amounts (at nanogram order) of organotin compounds and their metabolites in the same biological samples.
2) Acute toxicity of organotin compounds which appeared on the literature are summarized. Trialkyl and triaryl compounds seem to be more toxic than the tetra-, di-, or mono-compounds of the same chain length. With an increase in the number of C atoms the toxicity of alkyl compounds decreases. Aryltin compounds are less toxic than alkyltin compounds.
3) Intestinal absorption sites for tetra-alkyltins are jejunum and duodenum, and those for trialkyltins are ileum and jejunum. A considerable amount of orally administered tetra- and trialkyltins of low molecular weights are absorbed, but only very little of the other organotin compounds seems to be absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Absorbed organotin compounds rapidly undergo dealkylation by the microsomal mono-oxygenase system dependent on cytochrome P-450 in the liver, brain or other organs, and the compounds and their metabolites distribute to the whole body, ultimately being excreted into urine, bile and faeces. The biological half life of organotin compounds in mammals is usually short, a half of the amount of tributyl- and triphenyl-tins deposited in the body disappearing in several days. A part of organotin compounds excreted into bile is demonstrated to have been absorbed from the intestine and to circulate in the body via enterohepatic circulation.
4) Specific effects of organotin compounds on the biological systems and health include disturbance of the structure and function of the central nervous system (interstitial edema of white matter), inhibited oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria of cells, atrophy of the thymus and thymus dependent lymphoid tissues resulting in the dysfunction of T cells for immunity, inhibited enzyme activity, lesions in the liver and bile ducts etc., although some specificity is observed among species of animals and organotin compounds. Recently we found that a single oral administration of triphenyltin fluoride to rabbits induces transient diabetes and diabetic lipemia by inhibiting insulin secretion from morphologically normal pancreatic B-cells...

Triphenyltin fluoride (TPTF) as a diabetogenic agent. TPTF induces diabetic lipemia by inhibiting insulin secretion from morphologically intact rabbit B-cell.

Manabe S, Wada O.

Recent work in our laboratory has shown that oral administration of triphenyltin fluoride (TPTF) evokes hypertriglyceridemia in rabbits. The present experiments were conducted to elucidate the mechanism of TPTF-induced hypertriglyceridemia in rabbits by a combined biochemical and ultrastructural approach. After a single TPTF administration, fasting blood glucose and plasma triglyceride levels increased significantly (P less than 0.02) for about 20 days. On the other hand, both plasma and adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity was markedly decreased (P less than 0.001) during this period, and triglyceride production rates on day 2 after TPTF administration was significantly decreased (P less than 0.01). Density-gradient ultracentrifugation showed a remarkable accumulation of chylomicron and VLDL in the composition of plasma lipoproteins. Insulin injection to the hypertriglyceridemic rabbits induced a significant recovery of the decreased plasma LPL activity with a concomitant decrease of plasma triglyceride levels, while abeyance of insulin injection resulted in a decrease of LPL activity again. A significant inhibition of insulin release in response to the loading of glucose, glucagon, or arginine was observed in the TPTF rabbits (P less than 0.02). Inhibition of glucagon release was also observed in the arginine-loading test (P less than 0.01). Electron microscopic studies showed small abnormalities in the pancreatic islets of TPTF-treated rabbits. These findings suggest that TPTF inhibits insulin release from rabbit islets, subsequently inducing diabetic lipemia due to the insulin deficiency. Furthermore, it is possible to provide a new animal model for diabetes and diabetic lipemia by administration of TPTF to rabbits.

Dissipation and detoxification of organotins in the environment.

Sheldon AW

M&T Chem. Inc., Rahway, NJ

PESTAB. The dissipation of 3 commonly used organotins in soil environments was studied. These test materials were: tributyltin oxide (TBTO), tributyltin fluoride (TBTF), and triphenyltin fluoride (TPhTF). The soil employed in these studies was sandy loam obtained from South Carolina. Soil samples were treated with about 2.5 ppm of 1 of the 3 test compounds. After 182 days all 3 test compounds showed substantial degradation, especially in those samples kept under aerobic conditions. Degradation under anaerobic conditions was not as consistent as that under aerobic conditions. In the aerobic tests the TPhTF had released 37.2% of the applied radioactivity as CO2; the TBTF had evolved 11.6% and the TBTP, 14.2%. It is suggested from these studies that the organotins used in antifouling coatings are not persistent pesticides and do not present the hazards usually associated with persistent materials.

Effects Of Organotin Anti-Fouling Coatings On Man And His Environment

Sheldon AW

Abstract: The acute and chronic toxicities of anti fouling coatings were studied in animals. The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) was determined for bis(tri-n-butyltin)oxide (56359), tributyltin-fluoride (1983104) and triphenyltin-fluoride (379-52-2) for rats and rabbits. The acute dermal LD50 was also determined. Primary skin and eye irritation were assessed for these compounds. A subacute dermal toxicity study was performed using albino-rabbits exposed to 14.0, 27.2 or 68.0 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) applied to the skin of the back each day. Mortality, reactions, body weight, hematologic and clinical blood chemistry, urine and gross microscopic pathology were studied. An assessment of the carcinogenicity of tributyltin-fluoride was made in male Swiss-white-mice. Animals received a dermal application of 15mg of 5 or 10 percent tributyltin-fluoride solution 3 times a week for 6 months. The acute oral LD50 of bis(tri-n-butyltin)oxide was 234mg/kg and its acute dermal toxicity was 11,700mg/kg as a powder. The acute oral LD50 of tributyltin-fluoride was 200mg/kg and the dermal LD50 was 680mg/kg. The acute oral LD50 of triphenyltin-fluoride was 1,170mg/kg. All were severe or extreme eye irritants and most were moderate to severe skin irritants. In the 90 day study, no effects were seen at 14mg/kg. A dose of 68mg/kg was toxic, with increases in total and differential leukocyte counts and decreases in body weight. Skin lesions were seen. At 27.2mg/kg effects were less pronounced. No carcinogenic effects were seen from the dermal application of either concentration of tributyltin-fluoride to mice. The author concludes that skin and eye irritation are the major hazards from these organotin anti fouling coating when used by humans.

Methods of Fluorine and Fluoride Analysis-III

McKenna FE

Methods of fluorine (7782414) and fluoride determination are reviewed. The pertitanic-acid and fluosilicic-acid methods are discussed, and analysis of fluorocarbons, volatile fluorides, and elementary fluorine are described. Methods discussed include: reactions of fluoride with peroxide treated titanium solutions; spectrochemical determination; determination as bismuth-fluoride (7787613); and antimony-fluoride (7783702); determination as boron-trifluoride (7637072); determination as triphenyl-tin-fluoride (379-52-2); determination with benzidine (92875); determination as a complex uranium-fluoride (11133714); determination as a complex molybdenum-fluoride (7783779); colorimetric determination as lead-sulfide (1314870); colorimetric determination with methemoglobin; acidimetric alkalimetric titrations; determination by the enzymatic inhibition due to fluorides; determination of the wettability of glass; determination of fluorine in organic fluoro compounds; and determination of fluorine or fluorides in specific materials. The author concludes that such factors as the amount of fluoride, the type of matrix, and the proficiency of the analyst with the various methods must determine the analytical methods to be considered.
