BINAPACRYL EXPLANATION Binapacryl has been evaluated for an acceptable daily intake (ADI) by the Joint Meetings in 1969 and 1982 (Annex 1, FAO/WHO, 1970a and 1983a). A toxicology monograph was prepared by the Joint Meeting in 1969 (Annex 1, FAO/WHO, 1970b). In 1969 the Joint Meeting estimated an ADI of 0-0.0025 mg/kg b.w., based on toxicity data largely produced by IBT. In the absence of any validation or information concerning replacement studies, the 1982 Joint Meeting recommended that the existing ADI be withdrawn. Since then some IBT studies that were evaluated by the 1969 Joint Meeting have been submitted with accompanying validation reports. Moreover, some new studies have also become available. All these studies are reviewed in this monograph addendum. EVALUATION FOR ACCEPTABLE DAILY INTAKE BIOLOGICAL DATA Biochemical aspects Absorption, distribution, excretion and metabolism Concentrations of radioactive compounds were measured in the portal blood of rats 2, 4, and 6 hours after oral administration of 2.7 mg/kg b.w. of binapacryl-(phenyl-U-14C) or binapacryl-(acrylic acid-14C). The active ingredient was not detectable in the portal blood at any measurement time. Dinoseb (a hydrolytic product of binapacryl) was extracted as the only radioactive compound from the blood when binapacryl-(phenyl-U-l4C) was administered. On average, 15% of the total radioactivity in the blood was extractable as free dinoseb with diethyl ether. After boiling for 1 hour with 1 M HC1 an additional 20% of the radioactivity was extracted and also identified as dinoseb. The remaining radioactivity could not be extracted; it probably consists of highly polar metabolites which are not hydrolysed under the conditions adopted. The dimethyl acrylic acid group was present in the portal blood at a lower concentration than the dinoseb moiety. In both tests the highest radioactivity in the portal blood was measured 4 hours after administration (Kunzler et al., 1980). Dinoseb, dinoseb acetate, binapacryl-(phenyl-U-l4C), or binapacryl-l4C-labelled in the dimethylacrylic acid group, were administered orally to rats at a dose level of 8.3 µmol/kg b.w. Two, 4 and 6 hours after administration, the portal blood was withdrawn for analysis and radioactivity was measured. After administration of dinoseb, dinoseb acetate, or binapacryl-14-C labelled in the phenyl ring, the total radioactivity directly extractable from the blood was identified as dinoseb. Additional dinoseb was extracted after hydrolysis of the blood samples. After administering binapacryl-14-C labelled in the dimethylacrylic acid group, only small quantities of radioactivity were absorbed by the blood; these were highly polar in nature. Dinoseb was most rapidly absorbed and quickly reached the maximum blood level. Dinoseb acetate reached a blood level similar to that of dinoseb but with some delay. Both moieties of the binapacryl molecule were transferred to the blood, but at distinctly slower rates and at lower levels than when dinoseb or dinoseb acetate was administered. As the two moieties of the binapacryl molecule (dinoseb and dimethylacrylic acid) were not present in the blood at equal levels, the authors assumed that, after slow hydrolysis of binapacryl, dinoseb and dimethylacrylic acid were absorbed at different rates (Dorn et al., 1982). Toxicological studies Special study on reproduction An IBT multigeneration study on binapacryl was reviewed by the Joint Meeting in 1969 (Annex 1, FAO/WHO, 1970b). In this study, groups of rats (8 males and 16 females) were fed 0, 1, or 50 ppm of binapacryl for three generations. The reproductive performance, as measured by the indices of mating, pregnancy, fertility, parturition and lactation, was not influenced by the feeding with binapacryl. Neither were the different parameters of the progeny, e.g. litter size, number of stillbirths, viability, survival and weight of weanlings. Upon weaning of the F3b litters, gross and histological examination of several of the animals from all groups did not reveal any changes attributable to binapacryl (Kennedy and Calandra, 1965a,b,c). An audit validation for the three IBT reports covering this three-generation reproduction study in rats was submitted to the Joint Meeting in 1985. According to this validation, the three-generation reproduction study in ablino rats is a valid statement of the work conducted (Ellison, 1979d,e,f). However, in view of the many important missing data (e.g. pathological examinations of weanlings, individual animal and litter data and specifications of the test substance), the Meeting considered this study not to be adequate. Special studies on embryotoxicity and teratogenicity Groups of 11-12 pregnant female New Zealand rabbits received (by gavage) binapacryl (% a.i. not specified) at a daily-dose level of 0, 0.2, 1.0, or 5.0 mg/kg b.w. on days 6 through 18 of pregnancy. On day 29, dams were sacrificed and the foetuses removed for external, visceral and skeletal examinations. Mean feed and water consumption, and body weight and body-weight gain of dams were comparable between control and treated groups throughout the pregnancy period. There were no statistically-significant differences between control and treated groups with respect to mean value of corpora lutea, implantations, live and dead foetuses, early and late resorptions, or live foetal weight. Placenta weight was slightly decreased in the 5.0 mg/kg b.w. group, but the difference was not toxicologically relevant because all other findings were normal. Sex incidence of live foetuses was also comparable between control and treated groups. Foetuses with externally visible malformations were one in the control and one in the 5.0 mg/kg b.w. group. The incidence of skeletal variations was usual for this strain and comparable among groups. Only one visceral malformation was observed in the control group. Survival rate after 6 and 24 hours was greater in the treated groups than in the control. Absolute organ weight of dams was unremarkable. Ophtalmological examinations of eyes of the dams and histopatological examination of the foetal eyes gave no indication of any cataract development. The daily no-effect level for embryotoxicity/teratogenicity is 5.0 mg/kg b.w. in this study (Korte and Osterburg, 1980). Special studies on mutagenicity Several microbiol assays carried out on binapacryl did not indicate any mutagenic potential (Table 1). Special study on cataract formation An IBT dog study on cataract formation (Cervenka and Kay, 1963) was reviewed by the 1969 Joint Meeting (FAO/WHO, 1979). This study has not been validated (Ellison, 1979b). Table 1.

Acute toxicity Oral acute toxicity of technical binapacryl has been studied in several species, whereas dermal acute toxicity has only been assayed in rats (Table 2). Clinical signs of acute oral intoxication in mice include decreased spontaneous activity, lying prone, increased respiratory rate, discharge of yellow urine and diarrhoea. In fatal cases, death occurrred within 6 hours after dosing, following additional symptoms of sudden excitation, a rise of body temperature, Table 2.

All the survivors recovered to normal on the next day of dosing. Weight loss lasted from 1-4 days of the post-dosing period (Morioka et al., 1978b). Short-term studies Rat An IBT study in which groups of Sprague-Dawley albino rats (10 males and 10 females/group) were fed diets containing binapacryl at levels of 2, 10, 50, 250, or 500 ppm for 90 days, was submitted to the Joint Meeting in 1969 (Kay and Calandra, 1962). However, this study has not been validated by Ellison (1979c). Cat A non-validated cat dietary study is available where groups of 1 male and 1 female domestic cats were administered binapacryl (% a.i. not specified) in the diet at daily-dose levels of 0, 0.25 and 25 mg/kg b.w. for 2 years (IBT study without number, dated 24 January 1966). Dog Groups of mongrel dogs (1 male and 1 female per group) were fed diets containing binapacryl (purity not specified), at concentrations of 25 or 50 ppm for 2 years (6 times per week). No control group was used. Three dogs, fed at 150 ppm, on day 3 of the experiment already showed paralytic symptoms in the hind legs and reduced feed consumption; therefore, the feeding at 150 ppm was discontinued. The 25-ppm and 50-ppm levels produced no toxic symptoms. Behaviour, feed consumption and weight gains of all animals were normal. The haematological examinations and urinalyses (appearance, colour, protein and sediment) did not reveal pathological changes. No clinical chemistry data were available. Autopsy and histological examination of heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, stomach, intestine, spleen, adrenals, testicles or ovaries, and thyroid gland revealed no lesions attributable to the treatment (Scholz, 1962). An IBT dog study, where groups of 3 male and 3 female Beagle dogs were administered orally (gelatin capsules) binapacryl at dose levels of 0, 0.25, 1.25, 2.50, 5.0, or 25.0 mg/kg b.w/day for 2 years, was reviewed by the 1969 Joint Meeting (FAO/WHO, 1970). This study was validated by Ellison (1979a) and reconsidered by this Joint Meeting. The NOEL in this study was 0.25 mg/kg b.w., but presentation of the data is unsatisfactory (e.g. no individual animal data are available as well as no individual gross and histopathological findings). Therefore, the Meeting did not consider this study to be adequate (Baran et al., 1966b). Groups of 4 male and 4 female Beagle dogs were fed diets containing binapacryl (98.1% a.i.) at levels of 0, 0.5, 3.3, or 20 ppm for 2 years. Animals were observed daily for behaviour, general condition, feed and water consumption and mortality. Body weights were checked weekly. Reflex tests, ophtalmoscopic examination, noise test, teeth inspection and visible mucous membranes inspection were conducted at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months. Haematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis, bromosulfophthalein (BSP) test and phenolsulfonphthalein (PSP) test were carried out at 0, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. At the end of treatment all animals were sacrificed for gross and histopatho- logical examinations. All dogs survived the scheduled end of the study. There was no treatment-related impairment of general condition, or of feed and water intake. Mean body weight gain in males and females of the 20-ppm dietary level was lower than control. Examinations of behaviour, neurological condition, eyes, hearing ability, teeth and visible mucous membranes showed no remarkable findings or differences from the initial status. Relative organ weights, gross or histopathological findings did not suggest treatment-related effects. Haematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis parameters, and BSP and PSP tests did not show any dose-related differences between control and treated groups. The no-effect level in this study was 3.3 ppm in the diet, equal to 0.22 and 0.20 mg/kg b.w. for males and females, respectively (Brunk et al., 1981). Long-term studies Rat An IBT study where groups of Charles-River COB rats (30 males and 30 females per group) were fed diets containing binapacryl at levels of 0, 25, 100 or 500 pppm for 2 years (Wolf et al., 1966) was reviewed by the Joint Meeting in 1969. This study has not been validated (Ellison, 1979g). In another old study, which completes the 2-year rat study included in the 1969 evaluation, groups of cross-bred albino rats (20 males and 20 females/treated group; 5 males and 5 females/control group) were fed diets containing binapacryl (purity not specified) at concentrations of 0 and 500 ppm for 2 years. In the treated group, 15 males and 13 females died during the experiment (3 males and 4 females during the first six months); marked body weight losses and laboured breathing were observed prior to death; most of the animals died of putrid bronchitis or pneumonia. No mortality occurred in the control group. Behaviour and physical appearance of surviving rats were comparable between groups. The weight gains of the treated animals were distinctly lower as compared to those of the control. No effect was observed on haematology and urinalysis (appearance, colour, protein and sediment) carried out on 5 males and 5 females every six months and on all surviving rats at the end of study. The macroscopic post-mortem examination performed after termination of the experiment revealed pneumonia and fatty infiltration of the liver more frequently among treated animals. Histopathological examinations (heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and spleen) revealed purulent broncho-pneumonia in treated animals, but not in the untreated ones, and purulent bronchiectases, haemosiderosis in the spleen, brownish pigment in the epithelium of renal tubules, and fatty infiltration in the liver more frequently in the treated than untreated animals. No tumours were observed (Scholz, 1962). This study, however, was considered by the Joint Meeting to be inadequate for several reasons, including the small number of animals used, the small number of survivors at the end of the study, and the fact that only five organs were examined histopathologically. COMMENTS Additional pharmacokinetic and metabolism studies in rats indicate that binapacryl is rapidly absorbed following oral administration and showed that only dinoseb, dimethyl acrylate and water-soluble metabolites could be measured in the portal blood. Absorption occurred more slowly with binapacryl than with dinoseb. This suggests that decomposition of binapacryl to dinoseb occurs in the gastrointestinal tract. However, in dogs (study evaluated in 1969), appreciable amounts of binapacryl were measured in the kidney, liver and brain, which may be indicative of species differences in metabolism. Acute toxicity studies did not show any species, strain, or sex specificity. A no-effect level was established for embryotoxic/teratogenic effects in rabbits. The three-generation reproduction study in rats was not considered to be valid. Binapacryl did not show any mutagenic potential in several bacterial tests. Paralysis of hind-quarters was observed in dogs fed high (150 ppm) dietary levels of binapacryl in capsules (1969 evaluations), but not in a new 2-year dietary dog study at levels comparable with the capsule study. Paralysis of hind-quarters was not observed in rat studies at any dose levels. Apart from the new dog study, the short and long-term studies submitted do not conform to present-day testing standards. Some of the studies were considered invalid. None of the long-term studies contain clinical chemistry examinations. The Meeting concluded that the total data base is inadequate for establishing an ADI. TOXICOLOGICAL EVALUATION At least the following data will be required before the assessment of an ADI can be reconsidered: 1. Teratology study in rats. 2. Chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity studies in rats. 3. Carcinogenicity study in a second species. 4. Multi-generation reproduction study. 5. Pharmacokinetic studies. 6. Justification for the small doses administered in the rabbit teratology study. 7. In studies that were found to be invalid, possible neurological effects were noted. If these effects are observed in any of the above studies, they should be investigated further. REFERENCES Baran, J., Fancher, O.E. & Calandra, J.C.
