Identification
Common Name2,5-Pyridinedicarboxylic acid, dipropyl ester
ClassSmall Molecule
Description2,5-Pyridinedicarboxylic acid, dipropyl ester is also known as Repellent MGK 326. It was initially registered by the USDA in 1957 as an insect repellent for livestock. MGK Repellent 326 works to broaden the spectrum of repellency of insect repellents, such as DEET (N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide) or pyrethrins, to repel flies, gnats, and other flying and biting insects. It functions as an insect attractant, an insect repellent and chemosterilant. It is still widely used as an insect repellent.

Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)Not listed by IARC. The EPA classifies it as a Tentative Class B Carcinogen.
Uses/SourcesInsect repellent, found in many commercial insect repellents and mosquito sprays.
Minimum Risk LevelNot Available
Health EffectsMay cause respiratory tract irritation and skin irritation. May also cause eye irritation. Harmful if swallowed. Rats tolerated MGK-326 in the diet for two years up to 100 mg/kg/day. MGK-326 increased the incidence of liver tumors (males and females) in the 100 mg/kg/day group. The tumor rates in both sexes in the 65 and 250 mg/kg/day groups were comparable to those of the control group. The insect repellent produced increases in the incidence of benign interstitial cell tumors in the testis and benign uterine tumors. Group mean body weights were significantly decreased for males and females at the 1000 mg/kg/day dosage level when compared to the controls. There was no observed teratogenicity.
SymptomsNot Available
TreatmentEYES: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. SKIN: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. INHALATION: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial respiration, preferably by mouth-to-mouth if possible. Call a poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice. INGESTION: Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by a physicican or poison control centre.

Targets

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).

General Function:
Interleukin-8 receptor binding
Specific Function:
IL-8 is a chemotactic factor that attracts neutrophils, basophils, and T-cells, but not monocytes. It is also involved in neutrophil activation. It is released from several cell types in response to an inflammatory stimulus. IL-8(6-77) has a 5-10-fold higher activity on neutrophil activation, IL-8(5-77) has increased activity on neutrophil activation and IL-8(7-77) has a higher affinity to receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2 as compared to IL-8(1-77), respectively.

General Function:
Primary amine oxidase activity
Specific Function:
Important in cell-cell recognition. Appears to function in leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion. Interacts with integrin alpha-4/beta-1 (ITGA4/ITGB1) on leukocytes, and mediates both adhesion and signal transduction. The VCAM1/ITGA4/ITGB1 interaction may play a pathophysiologic role both in immune responses and in leukocyte emigration to sites of inflammation.
