NTP REPORT ON THE TOXICOLOGY STUDIES OF DICHLOROACETIC ACID (CAS NO. 79-43-6) IN GENETICALLY MODIFIED (FVB Tg.AC HEMIZYGOUS) MICE (DERMAL AND DRINKING WATER STUDIES) AND CARCINOGENICITY STUDIES OF DICHLOROACETIC ACID IN GENETICALLY MODIFIED [B6.129-Trp53tm1Brd (N5) HAPLOINSUFFICIENT] MICE (DRINKING WATER STUDIES) NATIONAL TOXICOLOGY PROGRAM P.O. Box 12233 Research Triangle Park, NC 27709 April 2007 NTP GMM 11 NIH Publication No. 07-4428 National Institutes of Health Public Health Service U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES FOREWORD The National Toxicology Program (NTP) is an interagency program within the Public Health Service (PHS) of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and is headquartered at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences of the National Institutes of Health (NIEHS/NIH). Three agencies contribute resources to the program: NIEHS/NIH, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (NIOSH/CDC), and the National Center for Toxicological Research of the Food and Drug Administration (NCTR/FDA). Established in 1978, the NTP is charged with coordinating toxicological testing activities, strengthening the science base in toxicology, developing and validating improved testing methods, and providing information about potentially toxic substances to health regulatory and research agencies, scientific and medical communities, and the public. The Genetically Modified Model (GMM) Report series began in 2005 with studies conducted by the NTP. The studies described in the GMM Report series are designed and conducted to characterize and evaluate the toxicologic potential, including carcinogenic activity, of selected agents in laboratory animals that have been genetically modified. These genetic modifications may involve inactivation of selected tumor suppressor functions or activation of oncogenes that are commonly observed in human cancers. This may result in a rapid onset of cancer in the genetically modified animal when exposure is to agents that act directly or indirectly on the affected pathway. An absence of a carcinogenic response may reflect either an absence of carcinogenic potential of the agent or that the selected model does not harbor the appropriate genetic modification to reduce tumor latency and allow detection of carcinogenic activity under the conditions of these subchronic studies. Substances selected for NTP toxicity and carcinogenicity studies are chosen primarily on the basis of human exposure, level of production, and chemical structure. The interpretive conclusions presented in NTP GMM Reports are based only on the results of these NTP studies. Extrapolation of these results to other species, including characterization of hazards and risks to humans, requires analyses beyond the intent of these reports. Selection per se is not an indicator of a substance’s carcinogenic potential. The NTP conducts its studies in compliance with its laboratory health and safety guidelines and FDA Good Laboratory Practice Regulations and must meet or exceed all applicable federal, state, and local health and safety regulations. Animal care and use are in accordance with the Public Health Service Policy on Humane Care and Use of Animals. Studies are subjected to retrospective quality assurance audits before being presented for public review. NTP GMM Reports are indexed in the NIH/NLM PubMed database and are available free of charge electronically on the NTP website (http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov) or in hardcopy upon request from the NTP Central Data Management group at [email protected] or (919) 541-3419.

We tested if dichloroacetic acid could cause cancer in two different strains of genetically modified mice. Methods We applied solutions containing dichloroacetic acid to the backs of male and female Tg.AC mice for 6 or 9 months and gave dichloroacetic acid dissolved in drinking water to male and female Tg.AC hemizygous mice and to male and female p53 haploinsufficient mice for 6 or 10 months. Animals given plain water served as the control groups. Tissues from 18 sites were examined for every animal. Results Male and female Tg.AC mice with dichloroacetic acid applied to their backs had greatly increased rates of epidermal hyperkeratosis at the site where the chemical was applied, and Tg.AC mice receiving the highest concentrations (0.5 grams per kilogram of body weight each day) developed squamous cell papillomas. In Tg.AC mice receiving dichloroacetic acid in the drinking water, a few alveolar/bronchiolar tumors of the lung were seen in exposed animals in each of the four studies. There were no increases in cancers in the p53 haploinsufficient mice given dichloroacetic acid in the drinking water. Conclusions We conclude that dichloroacetic acid did not cause cancer in the genetically modified p53 haploinsufficient mice and gave only weakly positive responses when given to Tg.AC mice. Dichloroacetic acid did cause cancer in several other long-term studies with different rodents, and thus we conclude these genetically modified mice may not be as sensitive for detecting certain cancer-causing compounds. 5 ABSTRACT O Cl OH Cl DICHLOROACETIC ACID CAS No. 79-43-6 Chemical Formula: C2H2Cl2O2 Molecular Weight: 128.9426 Synonyms: Acetic acid, dichloro; bichloracetic acid; DCA; dichlorethanoic acid; 2,2-dichloroacetic acid; dichloroethanoic acid; kyselina dichloroctova; Urner’s liquid Dichloroacetic acid was nominated for study by the was tested for potential toxicity and carcinogenicity in United States Environmental Protection Agency and by two relatively well-studied models, the Tg.AC hemizy­ the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences gous strain and the p53 haploinsufficient strain.

Charles L. Perrin* and Phaneendrasai Karri Electronic Supplementary Information EXPERIMENTAL DETAILS Materials. All pyridines, dichloroacetic acid, and dichloroacetic anhydride were purchased from Aldrich Chemical Company. Pyridines were stored over activated 4Å molecular sieves under dry N2 for several days prior to use. NMR solvents CD2Cl2 and CDCl3 and 1-mL ampoules of H218O (97.6 atom% 18O) were purchased from Cambridge Isotope Labs. Preparation of Cl2CHCOOH-18O2. Dichloroacetyl chloride (0.5 mL, 5 mmol) was stirred in an ice bath with 0.3 mL H218O (16 mmol) for 1 hr, then warmed to 25ºC and stirred. Incorporation of 18O label was monitored by mass spectrometry. After 48 hr the peaks of mono-18O and di-18O2 acids had nearly equal intensites, and the ratio did not change further. The stirring was stopped and water and HCl were evaporated under reduced pressure (<1 mm Hg) for 24 hr. The extent of labeling was confirmed by the 13C NMR spectrum of a 2:1 mixture with unlabeled dichloroacetic acid in CDCl3, which showed three peaks of nearly the same intensity. Preparation of NMR Samples. Samples were prepared under inert atmosphere using syringe transfer techniques. Pyridine or a substituted pyridine (1.2 mmol) was added to dichloromethane- d2 (1 g). Dichloroacetic acid-18O2 (10 uL of 1:1 mixture with dichloroacetic acid-18O, 0.06 mmol each) and dichloroacetic acid (5 uL, 0.06 mmol) were added to the solution.

    Determination of Monochloroacetic Acid and Dichloroacetic Acid for Quality Control of Acetic Acid Chlorination Industry by Ion Chromatography

    Microchemical Journal 63, 317–321 (1999) Article ID mchj.1999.1759, available online at http://www.idealibrary.com on Determination of Monochloroacetic Acid and Dichloroacetic Acid for Quality Control of Acetic Acid Chlorination Industry by Ion Chromatography Feng Qu and Shifen Mou1 Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Academy of China, Beijing 100085 Received October 29, 1998; accepted June 1, 1999 An ion chromatographic method is described for the purpose of quality control in the process of monochloroacetic acid production. Using 2.5 mM NaOH–10% methanol as eluent, the simultaneous determination of acetic acid, monochloroacetic acid, dichloroacetic acid, and Cl2 was obtained in a single run. Monochloroacetic acid and dichloroacetic acid showed good linearity in the range 0.1–20 and 0.15–20 mg/ml and correlation coefficients were 0.9999 and 0.9998, respectively. The detection limits (signal-to-noise ratio 3:1) of monochloroacetic acid and dichloroacetic acid were 17 and 25 ng/ml. This simple, sensitive, and time-saving method can be applied for composition analysis in acetic acid chlorination production. © 1999 Academic Press Key Words: monochloroacetic acid; dichloroacetic acid; ion chromatography. INTRODUCTION The chloroacetic acid is an important industrial and commercial solvent. Acetic acid chlorination is the commonly used method for producing monochloroacetic acid (MCA). The reaction of acetic acid chlorination is 1 3 1 CH3COOH Cl2 ClCH2COOH HCl (1) 1 3 1 ClCH2COOH Cl2 Cl2CHCOOH HCl. (2) During the chlorinating process, the formation of dichloroacetic acid (DCA), the main by-product, not only increases the consumption of raw material but also lowers the quality and purity of MCA product.
