Physical & Safety Data

Physical Properties

Molecular weight:298.4; Physical form:Colourless, odourless crystals. Melting point:134.8 °C; Vapour pressure:6.4 × 10-4 mPa (20 °C); 11 mPa (100 °C); Partition coefficient(n-octanol and water):logP = 3.23; Solubility:In water 4 mg/l (20 °C). In dichloromethane >200, hexane 0.1-1.0, toluene 20-50, isopropanol 5-10 (all in g/l, 20 °C).; Stability:Stable to light. In storage, 94.8% remains unchanged after 6 months at 30 °C. Stable to hydrolysis at pH 4-9.;

Toxicology

Oral:Acute oral LD₅₀ for rats, mice and dogs >5000 mg/kg. Percutaneous:Acute percutaneous LD₅₀ for rats and mice >5000 mg/kg. Not irritating to skin and eyes (rabbits). Inhalation: LC₅₀ (4 h) for rats >0.02 mg/l (dust).

Environmental Profile

Ecotoxicology:
Algae: EC₅₀ (96 h) for Scenedesmus subspicatus 0.18 mg/l.Birds: LC₅₀ (5 d) for bobwhite quail >5000 mg/ kg diet.Daphnia: LC₅₀ (48 h) 1.81 mg/l.Fish: LC₅₀ (96 h) for carp 6.0, trout 6.8, golden orfe 11.5 mg/l.Worms: LC₅₀ (28 d) for Eisenia foetida >1000 mg/ kg dry substrate.

Environmental fate:
Animals:Degradation in the rat is to N-methylaniline which is subsequently demethylated, acetylated and hydroxylated to 4-aminophenol and its sulfate and glucuronide conjugates.Soil:In soil, mefenacet is strongly adsorbed and therefore shows little movement. DT₅₀ in soil is a few weeks; metabolites formed are benzothiazole and benzothiazolyloxyacetic acid. In sterile aqueous buffer solutions, mefenacet undePlant:Metabolised to 4-aminophenol via oxidation of an intermediate N-methylaniline. Other metabolites found are benzothiazolone and benzothiazolyloxyacetic acid; both are degraded by hydroxylation.
