α-Chloralose Chemical Properties, Uses, Production
Description
Chloralose, (R)-1,2-O-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)-
α-D-glucofuranose, is a crystalline powder which is soluble in water,
fairly soluble in alcohol, diethyl ether, glacial acetic acid,
sparingly soluble in chloroform, practically insoluble in
petroleum ether.
Chloralose is produced by reaction of glucose with waterfree
chloral under heating (21).
Chemical Properties
needle-like crystals or powder
Uses
Coating seeds to protect them from birds.
Uses
It has been employed widely as an animal anesthetic in the laboratory setting. alpha-chloralose is a true anesthetic or an immobilizing agent with sedative-hypnotic properties has important implications. Canada geese (Branta canadensis) and blue geese (Chen caerulescens) were caught with alpha-chloralose, an oral hypnotic administered on bait. Wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) were captured with alpha-chloralose, an oral anesthetic.
Uses
Chloralose is used for the control of rodents, particularly mice, and as a bird repellent and a bird narcotic.
Production Methods
The commercial production of chloralose involves the condensation of chloral (trichloroacetaldehyde) with glucose under acidic conditions. This reaction forms a glycosidic bond between the aldehyde group of chloral and the hydroxyl groups of glucose, resulting in the formation of chloralose.
Hazard
May cause addiction, highly toxic.
Mechanism of action
Acts via the depression of the central nervous system, primarily through its interaction with the GABA-A receptor, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter receptor in the central nervous system. This interaction increases the receptor's affinity for its endogenous ligand, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), leading to an increased influx of chloride ions into neurons, causing hyperpolarisation and a subsequent reduction in neuronal excitability. This results in soporific effect - sedation and anaesthesia.
Safety Profile
Poison by ingestion, subcutaneous, and intraperitoneal routes. Questionable carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic data. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl-.
Metabolic pathway
Chloralose is effectively a chloral generator which, in turn, affords trichloroethanol by metabolism. This is the narcotic agent. Sleep is induced in mice before death and therefore the compound is regarded as a humane mouse killer. It is particularly effective when a quick clearout is required but there is evidence that mice can become tolerant.
Degradation
Chloralose is hydrolysed by acid and base to glucose and chloral (2, trichloroacetaldehyde).
Pesticide Type
Rodenticide; Avicide; Repellent
