Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureOral (7) ; inhalation (7) ; dermal (7)
Mechanism of ToxicityOrganobromide compounds, especially alkylbromides are strong alkylating agents. Consequently they can randomly modify the surfaces of proteins and lipids, leading to the disruption of enzyme, transporter or membrane functions. One of the most probable protein targets is the TRPA1 ion channel that is expressed in sensory nerves (trigeminal nerve) of the eyes, nose, mouth and lungs. Alkylation of DNA by alkylbromides may also lead to mutations. 2-bromopropane triggers the mitochondrion-dependent apoptotic pathway via ROS (reactive oxygen species) generation. 2-bromopropane has also been shown to induce DNA damage, impair functional antioxidant cellular defenses, and enhance the lipid peroxidation in cultured Leydig cells.
MetabolismNot Available
Toxicity ValuesLD50: 4837 mg/kg (Intraperitoneal, Mouse) (3) LD50: >2000 mg/kg (Oral, Rat) (4) LC50: 31 171 ppm over 4 hours (Inhalation, Mouse) (4)
Lethal DoseNot Available
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)No indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC).
Uses/Sources2-Bromopropane is an industrial and laboratory chemical.
Minimum Risk LevelNot Available
Health Effects2-Bromopropane is a strong lachrymator. Chronic exposure has been shown to have teratogenic effects in mouse and rat embryos. Very high chronic doses led to developmental toxicity which included an increase in the fetal deaths, a decrease in the litter size, and a reduction in the fetal body weight. In addition, an increase in the incidence of fetal external, visceral, and skeletal abnormalities was seen. Chronic exposure to 2-bromopropane depletes spermatogenic cells in male rats and oocytes in female rats. Humans exposed to 2-bromopropane exhibited oligospermia, amenorrhea and other reproductive toxic effects.
SymptomsMay cause skin, eye and respiratory tract irritation. May affect behavior/central nervous system (central nervous system depression, excitement fatigue, headache, dizziness, stupor,unconsciousness and possible coma). If ingested, 2-bromopropane may cause gastrointestinal tract irritation with nausea, and vomiting. It may also affect behavior/central nervous system with symptoms similar to those for inhalation. May also cause kidney damage and liver damage.
TreatmentEYES: irrigate opened eyes for several minutes under running water. INGESTION: do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water (never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person). Seek immediate medical advice. SKIN: should be treated immediately by rinsing the affected parts in cold running water for at least 15 minutes, followed by thorough washing with soap and water. If necessary, the person should shower and change contaminated clothing and shoes, and then must seek medical attention. INHALATION: supply fresh air. If required provide artificial respiration.

General Function:
Temperature-gated cation channel activity
Specific Function:
Receptor-activated non-selective cation channel involved in detection of pain and possibly also in cold perception and inner ear function (PubMed:25389312, PubMed:25855297). Has a central role in the pain response to endogenous inflammatory mediators and to a diverse array of volatile irritants, such as mustard oil, cinnamaldehyde, garlic and acrolein, an irritant from tears gas and vehicule exhaust fumes (PubMed:25389312, PubMed:20547126). Is also activated by menthol (in vitro)(PubMed:25389312). Acts also as a ionotropic cannabinoid receptor by being activated by delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component of marijuana (PubMed:25389312). May be a component for the mechanosensitive transduction channel of hair cells in inner ear, thereby participating in the perception of sounds. Probably operated by a phosphatidylinositol second messenger system (By similarity).
