IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Piperonyl alcohol is a benzodioxole derivative. It is biocompatible and can be used in chemical synthesis as an initiator. HUMAN STUDIES: There are no data available. ANIMAL STUDIES: Oxidation or conjugation of the side chain was the major metabolic pathway for piperonyl alcohol in mice, rats, or hamsters.

Piperonyl alcohol's production and use as a chemical intermediate(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 log Kow of 1.05(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that piperonyl alcohol is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of piperonyl alcohol from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 6.1X10-7 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(3). Piperonyl alcohol is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 2.9X10-4 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(3). Biodegradation data in soil were not available(SRC, 2018).|AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 16(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 1.05(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that piperonyl alcohol is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(4) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 6.1X10-7 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(5). According to a classification scheme(5), an estimated BCF of 1.3(SRC), from its log Kow(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Biodegradation data in water were not available(SRC, 2018).|ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), piperonyl alcohol, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 2.9X10-4 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2), will exist in both the vapor and particulate phases. Vapor-phase piperonyl alcohol 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 7 hrs(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 5.2X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(2). Particulate-phase piperonyl alcohol may be removed from the air by wet and dry deposition(SRC). Piperonyl alcohol does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(3) and, therefore, is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of piperonyl alcohol with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated as 5.2X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) using a structure estimation method(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 7 hours at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1). Piperonyl alcohol is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions(2). Piperonyl alcohol does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(2) and, therefore, is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

An estimated BCF of 1.2 was calculated in fish for piperonyl alcohol(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.05(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

The Koc of piperonyl alcohol is estimated as 16(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.05(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that piperonyl alcohol is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC).

The Henry's Law constant for piperonyl alcohol is estimated as 6.1X10-7 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) developed using a fragment constant estimation method(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that piperonyl alcohol is expected to be essentially nonvolatile from water and moist soil surfaces(2). Piperonyl alcohol is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 2.9X10-4 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(1).

Occupational exposure to piperonyl alcohol may occur through inhalation and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where piperonyl alcohol is produced or used. The general public is not likely to be exposed to piperonyl alcohol. (SRC)

... Male Swiss-Webster-mice, Sprague-Dawley-rats, or hamsters were administered 13 carbon-14 labeled MDP compounds such as tropital, piperonal, piperonyl-alcohol, piperonylic-acid, safrole, dihydrosafrole, or piperonyl-butoxide. Urine, feces, and expired air were collected for 48 hours for carbon-14 assay. Carbon-14 activity in the intestine, liver, and carcass was determined. ... Carbon-dioxide was not an important route of elimination in the metabolism of piperonyl-alcohol, piperonal, piperonylic-acid, and tropital. Their metabolites were excreted primarily in the urine. ...

The metabolism of methylenedioxyphenyl (MDP) compounds was studied in mammals. The purpose of the study was to investigate the mechanism and significance of demethylation of MDP and similar compounds in relation to the metabolism and mode of action of commercial synergist chemicals such as piperonyl-butoxide and tropital. Male Swiss-Webster-mice, Sprague-Dawley-rats, or hamsters were administered 13 carbon-14 labeled MDP compounds such as tropital, piperonal, piperonyl-alcohol, piperonylic-acid, safrole, dihydrosafrole, or piperonyl-butoxide. Urine, feces, and expired air were collected for 48 hours for carbon-14 assay. Carbon-14 activity in the intestine, liver, and carcass was determined. Urine samples were analyzed for metabolites. Compounds such as dihydrosafrole, safrole, myristicin, and piperonyl-butoxide were largely metabolized by oxidation of the methylene group of the MDP moiety to yield radiolabeled carbon-dioxide. The radiolabel ultimately appearing as carbon-dioxide was first liberated as radioactive formate. Carbon-dioxide was not an important route of elimination in the metabolism of piperonyl-alcohol, piperonal, piperonylic-acid, and tropital. Their metabolites were excreted primarily in the urine. No marked species difference was noted in carbon-14 tissue distribution after dosing with tropital and piperonyl-butoxide. Oxidation or conjugation of the side chain was the major metabolic pathway for tropital, piperonal, piperonyl-alcohol, and piperonylic-acid. Urinary metabolites of piperonyl-butoxide included many compounds lacking the MDP moiety and small amounts of 6-propyl-piperonylic-acid and its glycine conjugate. Urinary metabolites of tropital included glycine and glucuronic-acid conjugates of piperonylic-acid. In an in-vitro experiment, radiolabeled piperonyl-butoxide, tropital, safrole, and other MDP compounds were incubated with mouse liver microsomes and were assayed for metabolites. Metabolites such as formate and catechols were detected. The authors conclude that demethylation of the MDP moiety is the major metabolic pathway in mammals given piperonyl-butoxide, safrole, dihydrosafrole and myristicin.|After oral administration of piperine (170 mg/kg) to rats, the metabolites in bile and urine were examined by thin-layer chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography and combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Four metabolites of piperine, viz. piperonylic acid, piperonyl alcohol, piperonal and vanillic acid were identified in the free form in 0-96 hr urine whereas only piperic acid was detected in 0-6 hr bile. ...|The neolignan, burchellin, a natural compound that reduces urine excretion in larvae of the bloodsucking bug, Rhodnius prolixus, a vector of Chagas' disease, is rapidly degraded in the hemolymph of the insect. The main product that accumulates in this tissue has been shown to be piperonyl alcohol. Other catabolites have been identified by GC-MS analysis.
