    Nitromethane is a colorless, oily, highly flammable liquid with a strong, disagreeable odor that emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides upon decomposition. Nitromethane is used to make industrial antimicrobials and pharmaceuticals, and is also used as a soil fumigant and as a fuel in race car engines. Exposure to nitromethane irritates the skin and affects the central nervous system causing nausea, dizziness and narcosis. This substance is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen. (NCI05)

    4 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
    4.1 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

    Nitroparaffins are absorbed through lung and from GI tract. Applications to skin give no evidence of sufficient absorption to result in systemic injury. /nitroparaffins/

    4.2 Metabolism/Metabolites

    Nitromethane is apparently metabolized by different mechanism than nitroethane and nitropropane in that negligible amt of nitrites are found in blood following iv injection of 1 mmol in rabbits.

    Rabbit liver homogenate yields nitrite after incubation with nitromethane.

    SCOTT EW; J IND HYG TOXICOL 25: 20 (1943)

    Liver microsomes from phenobarbital pretreated rats convert nitromethane to acetone and nitrate in presence of the reduced form of nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate and oxygen. Addition of nitromethane to oxidized rat liver microsomal suspension gave rise to substrate binding difference spectrum with peak at 437 nm, interpreted as formation of cytochrome p450 no complex. Parallel to complex formation, oxidized rat liver microsomes catalyzed prodn of formaldehyde from nitromethane in the reduced form of nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate-dependent reaction.

    PMID:7362648 SAKURAI H ET AL; BIOCHEM PHARMACOL 29 (3): 341 (1980)

    Formaldehyde generated from nitromethane was found only in trace amounts after incubation with microsomes from from Fischer 344 rat liver, but none was found after incubation with rat nasal microsomes. Nitromethane inhibited rabbit liver cytochrome P450 activity, apparently competing for the same ferrohaemochrome- binding sites as carbon monoxide.
