5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Anti-Infective Agents, Local

Substances used on humans and other animals that destroy harmful microorganisms or inhibit their activity. They are distinguished from DISINFECTANTS, which are used on inanimate objects. (See all compounds classified as Anti-Infective Agents, Local.)


5.2 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Chlorophene was applied to the intrascapular region of male Fischer-344 rats at a total dose of 10 mg/kg in dermal studies. Three days after exposure to Chlorophene, 59% of the dose was excreted in the urine and feces. Chlorophene was distributed, as a percent of the total dose, to large intestinal contents (1.58%), small intestinal contents (0.55%), the skin (0.23%), and the skin site (32.33%). Chlorophene was incompletely absorbed through the skin.

Cosmetic Ingredient Review; International Journal of Toxicology 23 (Suppl 1): 1-27 (2004)


Rats /were/ dosed with 10 mg/kg chlorophene /iv/ and three rats each were sacrificed at various time points from 15 min to 72 hr. After iv exposure, 88% of the dose was excreted by 72 hr. After 15 min of treatment, about 30% of the chlorophene dose administered was present in the intestinal contents. Radioactivity was greatest in the kidneys and liver at this same time point and remained the greatest after 72 hr. The relative percent of unmetabolized chlorophene increased with time in the blood and liver over 72 hr. However, in the kidneys, it decreased with time. The skin had significant chlorophene radioactivity, 7.92% of the total dose administered after 15 min, but little remained after 24 hr.

Cosmetic Ingredient Review; International Journal of Toxicology 23 (Suppl 1): 1-27 (2004)


/Investigators/ dosed rats orally with 10, 100, or 1000 mg/kg chlorophene. The relative concentration of chlorophene excreted in the urine and feces was dose dependent. At the low and high dose, feces were the major route of excretion, whereas at the intermediate dose, urinary excretion predominated. However, more than 92% of the radioactive chlorophene was excreted within 3 days by rats in all dose groups. Rats injected with 5, 10, or 25 mg/kg chlorophene in the femoral vein had a dose-related decrease in biliary excretion.

Cosmetic Ingredient Review; International Journal of Toxicology 23 (Suppl 1): 1-27 (2004)


Male Sprague-Dawley rats /were administered/ (3/dose level) a single dose of 69 or 206 mg/kg [14C]-chlorophene. The kidneys and liver had the highest radiochemical concentrations of chlorophene and its metabolites. The combined concentrations of these two organs accounted for 0.16% and 0.13% of the 69 and 206 mg/kg doses, respectively. Approximately 0.23% and 0.18% of the dose was associated with the body fat at the low and high dose, respectively.

5.3 Metabolism/Metabolites

After iv treatment with 10 mg/kg chlorophene, the major metabolite formed was the glucuronic acid conjugate of the parent compound. The metabolite gradually decreased over a 6-hr period after treatment. The oxidative metabolite increased from 0.5% to 6% of the glucuronide acid conjugates in bile over 6 hr.

Cosmetic Ingredient Review; International Journal of Toxicology 23 (Suppl 1): 1-27 (2004)


In vitro metabolism studies found that about 95% of chlorophene was metabolized by liver supernatant in the presence of NADPH, uridine diphosphoglucuronic acid (UDPGA), and glutathione (GSH). Metabolism varied from 14% to 51% as the parent compound was exposed to various combinations of the cofactors, microsomes, and organ extracts.

Cosmetic Ingredient Review; International Journal of Toxicology 23 (Suppl 1): 1-27 (2004)


/Investigators/ isolated the metabolites of [14C]-chlorophene in urine and feces over a 5-day period. A significant percentage of the radioactive dose was present in the urine and feces from 12 to 24 hr. The majority of metabolites were present as either glucuronide or sulfate ester conjugates in the urine during this time period. Two additional metabolites were also identified, one in which the benzyl aromatic ring had a hydroxyl and a methoxyl substituent (22.9% and 17.6% of the low and high dose, respectively) and the second in which the benzyl aromatic ring had a hydroxyl substituent (12.7% and 29.4% of the low and high dose, respectively). These same metabolites were identified in feces but at a lower concentration. Chlorophene was also identified in the urine as 5.3% and 14.1% of the low and high dose, respectively. However, a larger percentage of [14C]-chlorophene was identified in feces, 21.4% and 22.4% of the low and high dose, respectively.

Cosmetic Ingredient Review; International Journal of Toxicology 23 (Suppl 1): 1-27 (2004)


Undiluted chlorophene (2 mL/kg) applied to the skin of rabbits lowered the percent of inorganic sulfates. However, the amount of glucuronate excreted was not affected. Application of 0.2 g/kg chlorophene in cottonseed oil and castor oil soap caused a slight increase in the output of glucuronates, but did not affect excretion of sulfates. The dilutions (1:100 and 1:300) produced no change in the excretion of glucuronates or sulfates.

5.4 Biological Half-Life

Male rats given an oral dose of 69 mg/kg or 206 mg/kg (14)C labeled o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol. ... Excretion of o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol was biphasic with an initial rapid alpha phase with a half life of 8 to 9 hr and slightly slower beta phase estimated to have a half life of 52 to 140 hr. ...
