IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Quinclorac is a herbicide. HUMAN STUDIES: It induced chromosomal aberrations in cultured human lymphocytes. ANIMAL STUDIES: It produced no sensitization reactions in a guinea-pig maximization test. Quinclorac was fed to groups of Beagle dogs in the diet at a dose of 0, 1,000, 3,000, 9,000 or 27,000 ppm for 28 days. At 27,000 ppm, feed consumption was reduced in females, and there was body weight loss over the duration of the study in both sexes. Kidney lesions were present at the top dose level. In mice Quinclorac was administered in a diet, at dose levels of 0, 4,000, 8,000, or 16,000 ppm. At 8000 and 16000 ppm there was an increase in water intake in males and females and blood urea nitrogen in males. There was decreased kidney weight in males and females and relative kidney weight in males in the 16,000 ppm group. At 4000 ppm there was decreased body weight gain in males and females. In rats given Quinclorac at dose levels of 0, 1,000, 4,000, or 12,000 ppm in a diet, noted decreases in body weight gain, food consumption and an increase in water intake in males and females, and decrease in monocytes in female, increases in liver enzymes in males, and pathological changes in kidneys of males. Quinclorac did not induce tumors in mice, rats or dogs. In rabbits the developmental toxicity observed at 600 mg/kg/day consisted of increased rate of resorption and post-implantation loss, a decrease in the number of live fetuses, and reduced fetal body weight. No structural anomalies were observed in rats in a 2-generation reproduction study. There were no effects noted for neuropathology or brain weight determinations in rats. Bacterial reverse gene mutation test was negative with or without metabolic activation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537. ECOTOXICITY STUDIES: When tested in fingerlings of the silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen), acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was evaluated in brain and muscle tissue of fish exposed to different herbicide concentrations. Quinclorac caused increases in enzyme activity in the brain and inhibitions in muscle tissue. In fish species Cyprinus carpio exposed to the quinclorac herbicide the levels of antioxidant enzymes and oxidative stress were increased.

/AQUATIC SPECIES/ Fingerlings of the silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) were exposed to three herbicides widely used in rice culture in south Brazil: clomazone, quinclorac, and metsulfuron methyl. LC50 was determined and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was evaluated in brain and muscle tissue of fish exposed to different herbicide concentrations after 96h (short term). The LC50 value (nominal concentration) was 7.32 mg/L for clomazone and 395 mg/L for quinclorac, but was not obtained for metsulfuron-methyl since all fingerlings survived the highest concentration of 1200 mg/L. Brain and muscle AChE activity in unexposed fish were 17.9 and 9.08 micromol/min/g protein, respectively. Clomazone significantly inhibited AChE activity in both tissues, achieving maximal inhibition of about 83% in brain and 89% in muscle tissue. In contrast, quinclorac and metsulfuron methyl caused increases in enzyme activity in the brain (98 and 179%, respectively) and inhibitions in muscle tissue (88 and 56%, respectively). This study demonstrated short-term effects of exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of rice field herbicides on AChE activity in brain and muscle tissue of silver catfish.|/AQUATIC SPECIES/ The occurrence of pollutants in the aquatic environment can produce severe toxic effects on non-target organisms, including fish. These sources of contamination are numerous and include herbicides, which represent a large group of toxic chemicals. Quinclorac, an herbicide widely applied in agriculture, induces oxidative stress due to free radical generation and changes in the antioxidant defense system. The aim of this study was to assess if dietary diphenyl diselenide (PhSe)2 has a protective effect in tissues of fish species Cyprinus carpio exposed to the quinclorac herbicide. The fish were fed with either a standard or a diet containing 3.0 mg/Kg of diphenyl diselenide for 60 days. After were exposed to 1 mg/L of Facet (quinclorac commercial formulation) for 192 hr. At the end of the experimental period, parameters as thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance levels (TBARS), protein carbonyl, catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione S-transferase (GST), nonprotein thiols (NPSH) and ascorbic acid in the liver, gills, brain and muscle were evaluated in Cyprinus carpio. In fish exposed to quinclorac and feeding with standard diet TBARS levels increased in liver and gills. However, SOD activity decreases in liver whereas no alterations were observed in catalase activity in this tissue. Quinclorac also decrease GST activity in liver and brain, NPSH in brain and muscle and ascorbic acid in muscle. Concerning protein carbonyl exposed to herbicide the fish did not show any alterations. The diphenyl diselenide supplemented diet reversed these effects, preventing increases in TBARS levels in liver and gills. GST activity was recovered to control values in liver. NPSH levels in brain and muscle increased remain near to control values. These results indicated that dietary diphenyl diselenide protects tissues against quinclorac induced oxidative stress ameliorating the antioxidant properties.|/AQUATIC SPECIES/ This study evaluated parameters of oxidative stress and antioxidant profile in fish after herbicide exposure. Cyprinus carpio were exposed to quinclorac (initial concentration 344.60 ug/L) for 7, 30, and 90 days under rice field condition. Thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) were evaluated in brain, liver and muscle tissues, and protein carbonyl in liver. Enzymatic parameters such as catalase (CAT) and gluthatione S-transferase (GST) activities also were studied in liver. TBARS levels fluctuated in the brain showing increase in 7 days and decrease in 30 days, while in liver it was observed increase in 7 and 30 days, as well as in muscle after 30 and 90 days. The protein carbonyl was also increased after 30 and 90 days of herbicide exposure. CAT and GST activities were decreased after 30 and 90 days, respectively. The alterations observed suggest that a commercial formulation containing quinclorac causes oxidative damage in different tissues of carp after a long time of exposure. This study pointed out the importance of quinclorac toxicity considering the concentration used in rice fields.|/AQUATIC SPECIES/ In this study, the protective effects of diphenyl diselenide [(PhSe)2] on quinclorac- induced toxicity were investigated in silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen). The fish were fed for 60 days with a diet in the absence or in the presence of 3.0 mg/Kg (PhSe)2. Animals were further exposed to 1 mg/L quinclorac for 8 days. At the end of experimental period, fish were euthanized and biopsies from liver and gills, as well as blood samples, were collected. The cortisol and metabolic parameters were determined in plasma, and those enzyme activities related to osmoregulation were assayed in the gills. In liver, some important enzyme activities of the intermediary metabolism and oxidative stress-related parameters, such as thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance (TBARS), protein carbonyl, catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione S-transferase (GST), nonprotein thiols (NPSH) and ascorbic acid contents were also evaluated. Compared to the control group, quinclorac exposure significantly decreased hepatosomatic index and increased cortisol and lactate values in plasma. Moreover, the activities of fructose biphosphatase (FBPase), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6Pase), glycogen phosphorilase (GPase) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were significantly increased in liver. Quinclorac also induced lipid peroxidation while the activity of SOD, NPSH and ascorbic acid levels decreased in the liver. However, dietary (PhSe)2 reduced the herbicide-induced effects on the studied parameters. In conclusion, (PhSe)2 has beneficial properties based on its ability to attenuate toxicity induced by quinclorac by regulating energy metabolism and oxidative stress-related parameters.|/OTHER TERRESTRIAL SPECIES/ This work sought to ascertain survival and possible changes in levels of glycogen, triglycerides, total lipids, cholesterol, protein, and lipid peroxidation in gills, liver, and muscle of bullfrog tadpoles (Lithobates catesbeianus) exposed to low concentrations of atrazine (2.5 ug/L), glyphosate (18 ug/L), and quinclorac (0.025 ug/L) at laboratorial conditions. Tadpoles showed a reduction of glycogen and triglyceride in all organs and an increase in lipid peroxidation (LPO) compared with control animals. Total lipid in gills and muscle increased in exposure to atrazine, and gills alone in exposure to glyphosate, but decreased in gills, liver, and muscle after quinclorac. Cholesterol increased in gills and liver after atrazine, in gills and muscle after glyphosate, and decreased in liver after quinclorac. Total protein in gills decreased after exposure to all herbicides, increased in muscle after atrazine, and in liver and muscle after quinclorac. These findings show that at concentrations of these herbicides tested can lead to an increase in energy expenditure to maintain homeostasis and survival of these animals despite the increase in lipid peroxidation levels in all organs analyzed. Responses observed can be one of the factors responsible for the decline in the number of amphibians around the world.

Quinclorac's production may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams; its use as a herbicide to control weeds on agricultural crops, and turf in residential and commercial areas(1) will result in its direct release to the environment(SRC).

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 470(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that quinclorac is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC). The pKa of quinclorac is 4.34(3), indicating that this compound will exist partialy in the anion form in the environment and anions generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4). Volatilization of the neutral species from moist soil surfaces is not expected(4) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 7.6X10-12 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(2). Quinclorac is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 4.0X10-8 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2). Quinclorac is stable to hydrolysis in sterile water however the compound undergoes rapid photolysis in non-sterile rice paddy, natural river waters and solutions containing activated sludge with half-lives of 5-10 days reported(5). Quincloarac is resistent to biodegradation in soil under aerobic and anaerobic conditions(5), indicating that biodegradation is not an important environmental fate process in soil(SRC).|FIELD STUDY: Quinclorac applied to experimental rice fields in Tianjin and Jilin Provinces, China in 1993 and 1994, exhibited rapid dissipation from water, with half-lives of 0.8 and 2 days, respectively. The half-life from rice leaves was <1 day; sediment half-life was reported as 6 days. The compound was not detected in associated soils. Levels in rice at pre-harvest interval of 95-105 days was <0.005 mg/kg(1). A field half-life range of 18-176 days has also been reported(2).|AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 470(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that quinclorac is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). A pKa of 4.34(3) indicates quinclorac will exist partially in the anion form at pH values of 5 to 9 and, therefore, volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC). Volatilization of the neutral species from water surfaces is not expected(4) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 7.6X10-12 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(2). Quinclorac was reported to be stable under both UV light and sunlight under aqueous conditions(4) the compound undergoes rapid photolysis in non-sterile rice paddy, natural river waters and solutions containing activated sludge with half-lives of 5-10 days reported. According to a classification scheme(5), a BCF of <1(6) suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Biodegradation of <10% was reported in 28 days in an aquatic ready biodegradability test(7), indicating that biodegradation is not an important environmental fate process in water(SRC).|ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), quinclorac, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 4.0X10-8 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2), will exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase quinclorac is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 13 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 1.3X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(2). Particulate-phase quinclorac may be removed from the air by wet and dry deposition(SRC). Quinclorac contains chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(3) and, therefore, may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of quinclorac with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated as 1.3X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) using a structure estimation method(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 13 hours at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1). Quinclorac contains chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(2) and, therefore, may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC) The compound is reported to be stable to hydrolysis and photolysis in sterile water(3). Quinclorac was reported to be stable under both UV light and sunlight under aqueous conditions(4). However, the compound undergoes rapid photolysis in non-sterile rice paddy, natural river waters and solutions containing activated sludge with half-lives of 5-10 days reported(3). A half-life of 141 days was reported for photolysis on soil surfaces(3).

A log BCF of -0.38722 (BCF <1) was reported in fish for quinclorac(SRC), using bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) which were exposed over a 4-week period in the OPPTS 850.1730 test(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of quinclorac can be estimated to be 470(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that quinclorac is expected to have moderate mobility in soil. The pKa of quinclorac is 4.34(3), indicating that this compound will exist partially in the anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4).|A sorption coefficient Kd of <1 indicates that leaching is a probable route of dissipation in the soil environment. Some leaching was observed, as quinclorac was detected below the 12 inch soil depth in the several of the terrestrial field dissipation studies. Detections of residues of quinclorac and its degradates in the soil down to 42-48 inches were reported in terrestrial field studies performed in KS, CA, MO, and NJ(1). Soil column leaching experiments were conducted using 3 of 5 major soil zones found in Alberta, Canada, and 10 g of quinclorac-spiked soils, equivalent to 120 g/ha. Quinclorac was reported to leach very rapidly (84 to 97% by 0.67 rain year) in brown Skiff loam (pH 6.0; 2.1% OM) and dark brown Lethridge loam (pH 7.6; 2.7% OM). Intermediate leaching (69-76% by 3.0 rain-year) was reported using black Lacombe sandy loam (pH 5.6; 5.9% OM)(2).

A pKa of 4.34(1) indicates quinclorac will exist partially in the anion form at pH values of 5 to 9 and, therefore, volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC). The Henry's Law constant for the neutral species of quinclorac is estimated as 7.6X10-12 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) developed using a fragment constant estimation method(2). This Henry's Law constant indicates that quinclorac is expected to be essentially nonvolatile from water and moist soil surfaces(2). Quinclorac is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 4.0X10-8 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2).

Reports of surface water or ground water monitoring studies that included quinclorac indicated that quinclorac was present in samples from 31 Arkansas wells and 2 Colorado surface water samples as a result of surveys by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) online National Water Quality Assessment Data Warehouse (NAWQA) database, and the EPA publication, EPA Pesticides in Ground Water, A Compilation of Monitoring Studies 1971-1991 National Summary(1).

Occupational exposure to quinclorac may occur through inhalation of dust and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where quinclorac is produced or used. Use data indicate that the general population may be exposed to quinclorac via dermal contact with consumer products containing quinclorac. (SRC)

The extent of oral absorption was high (> 90%), based on urinary and biliary data, with most of the biliary component reabsorbed and excreted in urine. The biliary component increased disproportionately with increasing dose from 15 to 600 mg/kg bw. Absorption of radiolabel was rapid, with maximal blood concentrations achieved between 0.25 and 1 hour for single doses of 600 mg/kg bw and below. Quinclorac was widely distributed in the body, with highest concentrations present in the blood, plasma and kidneys. Tissue levels were generally higher (< 2-fold) in females than in males. The labelled material was rapidly excreted, primarily via urine (50-90% in 24 hours). Initial plasma half-lives were calculated to be approximately 3-4 hours. Clearance from the blood was slower following repeated dosing with 600 mg/kg bw and with single doses of 1200 mg/kg bw, resulting in non-proportionate increases in the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC). The excretion pattern and tissue distribution of radioactivity were similar across administered dose levels and when the administration of radiolabelled quinclorac was preceded by 7 or 14 days of administration of the labelled or unlabelled material.|The metabolism of quinclorac ((2,3,4-(14)C)3,7-dichloro-8-quinolinecarboxylic acid) following oral administration was studied extensively in male and female CD rat. The compound was rapidly absorbed and eliminated in the urine following administration of single oral doses of (14)C quinclorac at 15 or 600 mg/kg and at 15 mg/kg after the animals were dosed with unlabeled quinclorac at 15 mg/kg/day for 14 days. Elimination in the urine 5 days after dosing accounted for 91 to 98% of the dose with only 1 to 4% eliminated in the feces. No radioactivity was detected in expired air. Biliary excretion was significant (11.5 to 14.5% of the dose) in animals receiving 600 mg/kg. However, most of this radioactivity was reabsorbed from the intestines and eliminated in the urine. Most of the radioactivity in the bile is associated with the glucuronide conjugate of quinclorac. The conjugate is apparently hydrolyzed in the intestines and reabsorbed. Almost all the radioactivity in the urine is unchanged quinclorac. Radioactive tissue residue levels 5 days after dosing were dose-dependent. Results from these and other (whole-body autoradiography and time-course) studies indicate that quinclorac may accumulate in the adrenal glands, bone marrow, thyroid, squamous epithelium of the non-fundic stomach, and ovaries.|In 7-day time-course studies (oral gavage at 15 mg/kg/day or dietary at about 1,000 mg/kg/day) maximum (14)C residue levels were detected 30 minutes after the final dose; thereafter, residue levels decreased with time. Mean (14)C residues in plasma were also detected at 30 minutes in animals receiving single oral doses of 15, 100, or 600 mg/kg or 15 mg/kg/day for 7 days. Elimination was biphasic with half-lives of 3 to 4 hours for the rapid phase at the low doses and a half-life of about 13 hours at 600 mg/kg. Peak plasma levels of radioactivity in animals receiving higher doses (1200 mg/kg or 600 mg/kg/day for 7 days) were noted for 7 to 48 hours postdosing: saturation kinetics were also noted at these higher doses.

Samples ... extracted and analyzed for the presence of metabolites using techniques including thin-layer chromatography and mass spectroscopy. Absorbed quinclorac was metabolized to only a limited extent, with unchanged parent compound representing approximately 80% of the excreted radiolabel. The major biotransformation product was quinclorac-glucuronide conjugate, representing approximately 5% of the administered dose. The pattern of metabolism was similar across sexes, dose levels and administration of repeated doses. A number of metabolites each representing less than 5% of the administered dose were not identified. The metabolism of quinclorac is so limited that a metabolic pathway is considered unnecessary.

In 7-day time-course studies (oral gavage at 15 mg/kg/day or dietary at about 1,000 mg/kg/day) maximum (14)C residue levels were detected 30 minutes after the final dose; thereafter, residue levels decreased with time. ... Elimination was biphasic with half-lives of 3 to 4 hours for the rapid phase at the low doses and a half-life of about 13 hours at 600 mg/kg. ...

Adequate analytical methods (gas chromatography/electron capture detector (GC/ECD)) are available for enforcing quinclorac tolerances on plant and livestock commodities. The methods have undergone successful agency method validation trials and have been submitted to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for publication in the Pesticide Analytical Manual (PAM) II as the tolerance enforcement methods. The Limit of Quantitation (LOQ) of both methods is 0.05 ppm for all matrices.|Other adequate LC/MS/MS based analytical methods, BASF Method D9708/02 (for quinclorac) and BASF Method D9806/02 (for quinclorac methyl ester), are available for data collection and tolerance enforcement of residues of quinclorac and its methyl ester metabolite in/on plant commodities. The validated LOQ for both methods is 0.05 ppm. Both methods monitor two ion transitions. The Agency concurred with BASF's proposal to designate BASF Method D9708/02 and BASF Method D9806/02 as the new tolerance enforcement methods for quinclorac and quinclorac methy ester, respectively. These LC/MS/ MS enforcement analytical methods without the methylation step are preferable to the previous GC/ECD method.
