P155 Inhibitory action of 2-bromopropane on animal ovulation

Mutagenicity of 2-bromopropane.

2-Bromopropane (2BP, isopropyl bromide), a substitute for freon, has recently been suspected to be the causative chemical for the outbreak of some reproductive dysfunctions such as amenorrhea and oligospermia in workers who has been exposed to this solvent in an electronic factory. Bacterial mutation assays, chromosome aberration analysis in vitro, and micronucleus tests in vivo, were carried o...

Nomination of 1-Bromopropane (1-BP) and 2- Bromopropane (2-BP) for Testing by the National Toxicology Program

NTP-CERHR Monograph on the Potential Human Reproductive and Developmental Effects of 2-Bromopropane (2-BP).

The National Toxicology Program (NTP) Center for the Evaluation of Risks to Human Reproduction (CERHR) conducted an evaluation of the potential for 2-bromopropane to cause adverse effects on reproduction and development in humans. 2-Bromopropane was selected for evaluation due to documented evidence of worker exposures and published evidence of reproductive toxicity in both rodents and humans. ...

Fipronil: mechanisms of action on various organisms and future relevance for animal models studies

Because insects had developed resistance to several insecticides, today, neonicotinoids and fiproles are used to combat pests. The difference between this two classes of insecticides is that fipronil acts by inhibiting the receptors of nervous cells, while neonicotinoids perturbs the neuronal transmission. The suitable properties of fipronil make that its use to be more obvious on the pesticide...
