Diazolidinyl Urea (Germall® II) the art and science of smart patch testingTM AP87: Diazolidinyl urea (Germall® II) Patient Information Your patch test result indicates that you have a contact allergy to diazolidinyl urea. This contact allergy may cause your skin to react when it is exposed to this substance although it may take several days for the symptoms to appear. Typical symptoms include redness, swelling, itching, and fluid-filled blisters. Where is diazolidinyl urea found? Diazolidinyl urea is found in cosmetics, skin care products, shampoos, bubble baths, baby wipes, and household detergents. It is used as a preservative and acts as a formaldehyde releaser. How can you avoid contact with diazolidinyl urea? Avoid products that list any of the following names in the ingredients: Diazolidinyl urea N-(Hydroxymethyl)-N-(1,3- EINECS 278-928-2 dihydroxymethyl-2,5-dioxo-4- Germall 11 imidazolidinyl)- Imidazolidinyl urea 11 N'-(hydroxymethyl) urea N-(1,3-Bis(hydroxymethyl)-2,5- N-(Hydroxymethyl)-N-(1,3- dioxo-4-imidazolidinyl)-N,N'- dihydroxymethyl-2,5-dioxo-4- bis(hydroxymethyl)urea imidazolidinyl)- N'-(hydroxymethyl)urea What are some products that may contain diazolidinyl urea?

  • Formaldehyde, D4, MEK, and Styrene in Children's Products
    Formaldehyde, D4, MEK, and Styrene in Children’s Products Sara Sekerak, Environmental Assessment Program Overview In 2016, the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) began an assessment of the data reported in the Children’s Safe Products Act (CSPA) Manufacturer Reporting Database. Under CSPA (Chapter 70.240 Revised Code of Washington (RCW)), manufacturers of children’s products offered for sale in Washington State are restricted from using certain chemicals. They are also required to report to Ecology if a product contains any Chemicals of High Concern to Children (CHCC) (Chapter 173-334 Washington Administrative Code (WAC)). Using a study performed by Smith et al. (2016) to characterize, rank, and prioritize chemicals reported in children’s products based on chemical toxicity and the potential exposure pathways, Ecology identified four priority chemicals for this study: formaldehyde, octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4), methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and styrene. These chemicals ranked high in either chemical toxicity, exposure potential, number of manufacturer reports, or a combination of these criteria. Ecology frequently performs testing on CHCCs in children’s products to verify compliance, to further understand chemical usage and presence in products, and for making policy decisions. In 2016, Ecology purchased 137 children’s products and submitted 97 component samples to the laboratory Toys/Games 34 for analysis of one or more of the four priority chemicals. Figure 1 displays the types and distribution Beauty/Personal Care/Hygiene 33 of products purchased. Manufacturer-reported data and research on the use and application of these chemicals in product-manufacturing processes helped Clothing 18 guide product selection. Household/Office 16 Data gathered from this study were used to enhance Furniture/Furnishings our understanding of chemicals used in children’s products and assess compliance with CSPA.

Oste, Takayuki Nagasaki and David C. Paik Downloaded from http://portlandpress.com/bioscirep/article-pdf/39/5/BSR20182392/848135/bsr-2018-2392.pdf by guest on 29 September 2021 Department of Ophthalmology, Columbia University, Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, NY, U.S.A Correspondence: David C. Paik ([email protected]) Our recent tissue cross-linking studies using formaldehyde releasers (FARs) suggest that corneal and scleral tissue strengthening may be possible without using ultraviolet irradia- tion or epithelial removal, two requirements for the photochemical method in widespread clinical use. Thus, the present study was carried out in order to better understand these po- tential therapeutic solutions by studying the effects of concentration, pH, buffer, time, and tissue reactivity on formaldehyde release of these FARs. Three FARs, sodium hydroxymethyl glycinate (SMG), DMDM, and diazolidinyl urea (DAU) were studied using a chromotropic acid colorimetric FA assay. The effects of concentration, pH, and buffer were studied as well as the addition of corneal and scleral tissues. The main determinant of release was found to be dilution factor (concentration) in which maximal release was noted at the lowest concentra- tions studied (submillimolar). In time dependent studies, after 60 min, FA levels decreased by 38% for SMG, 30% for DMDM, and 19% for DAU with corneal tissue added; and by 40% for SMG, 40% for DMDM, and 15% for DAU with scleral tissue added.

  • Imidazolidinyl Urea
    Imidazolidinyl urea 39236-46-9 OVERVIEW This material was prepared for the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for consideration by the Chemical Selection Working Group (CSWG) by Technical Resources International, Inc. under contract no. N02-07007. Imidazolidinyl urea came to the attention of the NCI Division of Cancer Biology (DCB) as the result of a class study on formaldehyde releasers. Used in combination with parabens, imidazolidinyl urea is one of the most widely used preservative systems in the world and is commonly found in cosmetics. Based on a lack of information in the available literature on the carcinogenicity and genetic toxicology, DCB forwarded imidazolidinyl urea to the NCI Short-Term Toxicity Program (STTP) for mutagenicity testing. Based on the results from the STTP, further toxicity testing of imidazolidinyl urea may be warranted. INPUT FROM GOVERNMENT AGENCIES/INDUSTRY Dr. John Walker, Executive Director of the TSCA Interagency Testing Committee (ITC), provided information on the production volumes for this chemical. Dr. Harold Seifried of the NCI provided mutagenicity data from the STTP. NOMINATION OF IMIDAZOLIDINYL UREA TO THE NTP Based on a review of available relevant literature and the recommendations of the Chemical Selection Working Group (CSWG) held on December 17, 2003, NCI nominates this chemical for testing by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) and forwards the following information: • The attached Summary of Data for Chemical Selection • Copies of references cited in the Summary of Data for Chemical Selection • CSWG recommendations to: (1) Evaluate the chemical for genetic toxicology in greater depth than the existing data, (2) Evaluate the disposition of the chemical in rodents, specifically for dermal absorption, (3) Expand the review of the information to include an evaluation of possible break- down products, especially diazolidinyl urea and formaldehyde.

  • Effects of Several Cosmetic Preservatives on ROS-Dependent Apoptosis of Rat Neural Progenitor Cells

Recent reports suggested that these compounds may have cellular and systemic toxicity in high concentration. In addition, diazolidinyl urea and imidazolidinyl urea are known formaldehyde (FA) releasers, raising concerns for these cosmetic preservatives. In this study, we investigated the effects of benzalkonium chloride, diazolidinyl urea, and imidazolidinyl urea on ROS-dependent apoptosis of rat neural progenitor cells (NPCs) in vitro. Cells were isolated and cultured from embryonic day 14 rat cortices. Cultured cells were treated with 1-1,000 nM benzalkonium chloride, and 1-50 μM diazolidinyl urea or imidazolidinyl urea at various time points to measure the reactive oxygen species (ROS). PI staining, MTT assay, and live-cell imaging were used for cell viability measure- ments. Western blot was carried out for cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-8 as apoptotic protein markers. In rat NPCs, ROS production and cleaved caspase-8 expression were increased while the cell viability was decreased in high concentrations of these substances.

Thirty-five chemicals were identified as being formaldehyde-releasers. Although a further seven are listed in the literature as formaldehyde-releasers, data are inadequate to consider them as such beyond doubt. Several (nomenclature) mistakes and outdated information are discussed. Formaldehyde and formaldehyde allergy are reviewed: applications, exposure scenarios, legislation, patch testing problems, frequency of sensitization, relevance of positive patch test reactions, clinical pattern of allergic contact dermatitis from formaldehyde, prognosis, threshold for elicitation of allergic contact dermatitis, analytical tests to determine formaldehyde in products and frequency of exposure to formaldehyde and releasers. The frequency of contact allergy to formaldehyde is consistently higher in the USA (8–9%) than in Europe (2–3%). Patch testing with formaldehyde is problematic; the currently used 1% solution may result in both false-positive and false-negative (up to 40%) reactions.
