Metabolite Identification
Common NameDibromochloromethane
DescriptionDibromochloromethane, also known as chlorodibromomethane, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as trihalomethanes. These are organic compounds in which exactly three of the four hydrogen atoms of methane (CH4) are replaced by halogen atoms. Dibromochloromethane is possibly neutral. Dibromochloromethane is a potentially toxic compound. In humans and laboratory animals, dibromochloromethane (and bromoform) are generally absorbed quickly. If required provide artificial respiration. If necessary, the person should shower and change contaminated clothing and shoes, and then must seek medical attention. Dibromochloromethane (and bromoform) are thought to be metabolized by at least two route-independent pathways: oxidation by cytochrome P-450 mixed function oxidase system and conjugation via glutathione S-transferase. Some studies in animals indicate that exposure to high doses of dibromochloromethane may also lead to liver and the kidney injury within a short period of time. Exposure to dibromochloromethane leads to central nervous system depression, which is probably the chief cause of death in acute exposures. Dibromochloromethane is oxidized into trihalomethanol by the cytochrome P-450 mixed function oxidase system of liver. After ingestion, excretion occurs primarily by exhalation of the compound or of CO2. Trihalomethanol then decomposes by loss of hydrogen and halide ions to yield the dihalocarbonyl (an analogue of phosgene), which is a highly reactive molecule, and may undergo a number of reactions, including direct reaction with cellular nucleophiles to yield covalent adducts, reaction with two moles of glutathione (GSH) to yield CO and oxidized glutathione (GSSG), and hydrolysis to yield CO2. Rinse mouth with water (never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person). EYES: irrigate opened eyes for several minutes under running water. Seek immediate medical advice.
