Toxicity Profile

Route of ExposureDermal ; eye contact ; inhalation ; oral
Mechanism of ToxicityAzodicarbonamide prevents the progression of human CD4+ T lymphocytes into the G1 phase of the cell cycle, inhibits their blastogenesis, down-regulates their membrane expression of CD25 and CD69, and decreases their transcription of cytokine genes .
MetabolismAzodicarbonamide is readily converted to biurea, the only breakdown product identified, and it is likely that systemic exposure is principally to this derivative rather than to the parent compound. Biurea is then eliminated rapidly from all tissues with the majority of the elimination via the urine .
Toxicity ValuesLD50: >2,000 mg/kg (Dermal, Rabbit)
Lethal Dose
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)No indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC).
Minimum Risk Level
Health EffectsPoisoning can cause pulmonary sensitization and dermatitis in people (L1214).
TreatmentAfter inhalation exposure, first aid treatment includes fresh air and rest. After skin exposure, remove contaminated clothes, then rinse and wash skin with water and soap. After eye exposure, rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible). After ingestion, rinse mouth, give plenty of water to drink, and rest. In all causes medical attention should be sought.
