Isocyanates and thioisocyanates are incompatible with many classes of compounds, reacting exothermically to release toxic gases. Reactions with amines, aldehydes, alcohols, alkali metals, ketones, mercaptans, strong oxidizers, hydrides, phenols, and peroxides can cause vigorous releases of heat. Acids and bases initiate polymerization reactions in these materials. Some isocyanates react with water to form amines and liberate carbon dioxide. Base-catalysed reactions of isocyanates with alcohols should be carried out in inert solvents. Such reactions in the absence of solvents often occur with explosive violence, [Wischmeyer(1969)].

Toxicity

IDENTIFICATION AND USE: 1-Amino-2-thiourea is an odorless white crystalline powder or long needles from water. It is an intermediate for pesticides, especially herbicides, and pharmaceuticals; used in certain photographic and dye applications and used as a reagent for the detection of metals. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: Thioureas are potential sensitizing accelerators and antioxidants used in the manufacture of rubber which may cause irritant contact dermatitis. ANIMAL STUDIES: Subcutaneous injections of thiosemicarbazide into postnatal mice caused convulsions in mice when treated on the day 7 or later but not on the days 1-5. The latent period of the 1st convulsion was 115 min in mice injected on the day 7. The convulsions were inhibited by pyridoxine-HCL, but not by pyridoxal phosphate. GABAergic antagonists (1-amino-2-thiourea) enhanced aggressive behavior and decreased the social behavior of mice. 1-amino-2-thiourea was noncarcinogenic in mice and rats. The agent was teratogenic in chick embryos when applied to the vascular area on the 3rd day of incubation at 0.5 to 1 mg it produced deformities of the wing and beak, but not harelip. ECOTOXICITY STUDIES: Exposure of Rana sylvatica tadpoles to 25 mg/L or more caused a curvature of digits, abnormal limb articulations, difficulty in swimming, and death. Wood frog (Rana sylvatica) tadpoles were exposed to 50 mg thiosemicarbazide (TSC)/L water for varying lengths of time and at different developmental stages. Short exposure periods (3 and 6 hr) resulted in no visible deformities. Exposure periods of 12 or more hr caused slight to severe abnormalities, with a direct relationship between length of exposure and degree of deformity. Tadpoles exposed to TSC from posthatching Days 24-30 were more seriously affected than were tadpoles exposed at an older age.

The acute neurobehavioral toxicity of organochlorine pesticide, aldrin, has been studied at sublethal doses. A dose of 8.9 mg/kg (1/4 LD50) induced piloerection, tremors, convulsive excitement restlessness, augmented spontaneous motor activity and exploratory behavior in mice after 60 min, of i.p. administration indicating CNS stimulation. Blockade of specific neurotransmitter system by pretreatment with atropine (10 mg/kg), iproniazid (100 mg/kg) alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine (200 mg/kg), p-chlorophenylalanine (200 mg/kg) or thiosemicarbazide (5 mg/kg) significantly altered the neurotoxic symptoms induced by the pesticide indicating direct or indirect involvement of various neurotransmitter system in mediating CNS toxicity. Conditioned avoidance response in rats was not affected by the pesticide alone or in combination with either drug.|Female CD1 mice given the contraceptive steroids mestranol and norethynodrel (1:10) in the diet (0.0033%) for 4 months had a growth reduction of 20% when compared with mice fed a normal diet, and had lower convulsive thresholds when tested with the vitamin B6 antagonists 2,4-dimethyl-5-methyl-hydroxypyrimidine and thiosemicarbazide. In conditioned avoidance response (CAR) tests, mice fed the steroid-containing diets showed a decreased acquisition performance during all six sessions; however, mice fed the same diet supplemented with vitamin B6 (0.04%) performed as well during the last three sessions of the CAR tests as mice fed the normal diet.|Susceptibility to thiosemicarbazide was compared in 7 animal species together with the protective effect of vitamin B6 on the induction of convulsions. Susceptibility occurred generally with the phylogenetic development of the brain of vertebrates as well as invertebrates. Abnormal behavior analogous to running fits in rats and mice, which was thought to be a characteristic and activated form of locomotion, was also induced in every animal except the silkworm. Vitamin B6 arrested the induction of convulsions and abnormal behavior in guinea pigs and goldfish.|GABA-/inhibitory/ agents (thiosemicarbazide) markedly decreased the effect of morphine, hydrocodone, and the enkephaline analogs: Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Phe-NH2 and Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Phe (NO2) NH2 /in experimental animals/.|For more Interactions (Complete) data for 1-AMINO-2-THIOUREA (15 total), please visit the HSDB record page.

/AQUATIC SPECIES/ The effects of exposure of Rana sylvatica tadpoles to varying concentrations (10-75 mg/L for 4 days) of thiosemicarbazide (TSC) was studied. Exposure to concentrations of 25 mg/L or more caused a curvature of digits, abnormal limb articulations, difficulty in swimming, and death. For all of these parameters, effects were dose dependent. Tadpoles exposed to 10 mg/L metamorphosed significantly slower than controls while those exposed to 50 mg/L metamorphosed significantly faster than controls. Rate of endochondral ossification in femurs and tibio-fibulas also was affected by TSC. These long bones ossified faster than in controls in both the 25- and 75-mg/L exposure groups. R. sylvatica tadpoles respond to TSC (a known osteolathyrogen) in a manner similar to that of other species. This response appears to be due in part to an acceleration of long bone ossification and speed of metamorphosis in high-concentration exposure groups. These responses are similar but not identical to those seen in Xenopus laevis, the only other amphibian studied to date.|/AQUATIC SPECIES/ Wood frog (Rana sylvatica) tadpoles were exposed to 50 mg thiosemicarbazide (TSC)/L water for varying lengths of time and at different developmental stages.

1-Amino-2-thiourea's production and use as a reagent for ketones and certain metals, in photography, and in the production of pesticides(1) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC).

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 16(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that 1-amino-2-thiourea is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of 1-amino-2-thiourea from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 6.6X10-10 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), using a fragment constant estimation method(2). 1-Amino-2-thiourea is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 0.0087 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2). Utilizing the Japanese MITI test, 0% of the theoretical BOD was reached in 4 weeks indicating that biodegradation in soil is not an important environmental fate process(3).|AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 16(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that 1-amino-2-thiourea is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 6.6X10-10 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(2). 1-Amino-2-thiourea may undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions(3). According to a classification scheme(4), BCFs of 3.8-4.2 and <39 in carp (Cyprinus carpio)(5), suggest bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Utilizing the Japanese MITI test, 0% of the theoretical BOD was reached in 4 weeks indicating that biodegradation in water is not an important environmental fate process(5).|ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), 1-amino-2-thiourea, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 0.008 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 1-amino-2-thiourea 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 4 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 8.4X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(2). Particulate-phase 1-amino-2-thiourea may be removed from the air by wet and dry deposition(SRC). 1-Amino-2-thiourea 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 1-amino-2-thiourea with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated as 8.4X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) using a structure estimation method(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 4 hours at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1). 1-Amino-2-thiourea may undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions(2). 1-Amino-2-thiourea contains chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(2) and, therefore, may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

BCFs of 3.8-4.2 and <39 were reported using carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed to 0.4 and 0.04 mg/L of 1-amino-2-thiourea over a 6-week period, respectively(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF range suggests bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of 1-amino-2-thiourea can be estimated to be 16(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1-amino-2-thiourea is expected to have very high mobility in soil.

The Henry's Law constant for 1-amino-2-thiourea is estimated as 6.6X10-10 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) using a fragment constant estimation method(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that 1-amino-2-thiourea is expected to be essentially nonvolatile from water and moist soil surfaces(2). 1-Amino-2-thiourea is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 0.0087 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(1).

NIOSH (NOES Survey 1981-1983) has statistically estimated that 1341 workers (1152 of these were female) were potentially exposed to 1-amino-2-thiourea in the US(1). Occupational exposure to 1-amino-2-thiourea may occur through inhalation of dust and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where 1-amino-2-thiourea is produced or used(SRC).
