Compound Type
  • Amine
  • Industrial By-product/Pollutant
  • Nitrite
  • Organic Compound
Description N-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine is a chemical produced by industry in small amounts for research. Small amounts of n-nitrosodi-n-propylamine are also produced as a side reaction during some manufacturing processes, as a contaminant in some weed killers, and during the manufacture of some rubber products.

Route of Exposure Oral (R420); inhalation (R420) ; dermal (R420).
Mechanism of Action Reactive metabolites of n-nitrosodi-n-propylamine are believed to form adducts with DNA, resulting in carcinogenic effects. (R420)
Metabolism n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine can be absorbed through oral, inhalation, or dermal routes. It is metabolized by cytochrome p-450 enzymes (mainly CYP 2E1) into its reactive metabolites via oxidation at the alpha, beta and gamma carbon positions. Alpha carbon oxidation is regarded as the primary pathway, resulting in formation of propionaldehyde, 1-propanol, and 2-propanol. The metabolites of n-nitrosodi-n-propylamine are excreted mainly in the urine. (R420, R421)
Toxicity Values LD50: 480 mg/kg (Oral, Rat) (R373) LD50: 487 mg/kg (Subcutaneous, Rat) (R373)
Lethal Dose Not Available
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification) 2B, possibly carcinogenic to humans. (R264)
Uses/Sources Small amounts of n-nitrosodi-n-propylamine are also produced as a side reaction during some manufacturing processes, as a contaminant in some weed killers, and during the manufacture of some rubber products. (R420)
Minimum Risk Level Acute Oral: 0.095 mg/kg/day (R260)
Health Effects High levels of n-nitrosodi-n-propylamine may damage the liver, lung, stomach, kidneys, and heart. n-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine is also a likely carcinogen. (R420)
