Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureOral (9) ; inhalation (9) ; dermal (9)
Mechanism of ToxicityOne of the metabolites of vinyl acetate, acetaldehyde, is a known animal carcinogen. Acetaldehyde can form adducts with DNA, causing damage such as cross-links. (8, 1)
MetabolismVinyl acetate may be absorbed following ingestion, inhalation, or dermal exposure, and distributes throughout the body. It is rapidly hydrolyzed by esterases in the blood to acetate and the unstable intermediate, vinyl alcohol. Vinyl alcohol is then rapidly converted to acetaldehyde, which in turn is metabolized to acetate in the liver. This in turn is incorporated into the "2 carbon pool" of normal body metabolism and eventually forms carbon dioxide as the major breakdown product, which is expired. (8)
Toxicity ValuesLD50: 2.92 g/kg (Oral, Rat) (3) LC50: 2511 ppm over 4 hours (Inhalation, Rabbit) (2)
Lethal DoseNot Available
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)2B, possibly carcinogenic to humans. (6)
Uses/SourcesVinyl acetate is used mainly for the production of other industrial chemicals, such as polyvinyl acetate, an important polymer for which it is the precursor. These chemicals are used mainly to make glues for the packaging and building industries. They are also used to make paints, textiles, and paper. Vinyl acetate is also used as a coating in plastic films for food packaging and as a modifier of food starch. (7, 8)
Minimum Risk LevelIntermediate Inhalation: 0.01 ppm (5)
Health EffectsVinyl acetate may affect the immune system. It may also be a carcinogen. (8)
SymptomsInhalation of vinyl acetate irritates the eyes, nose, and throat. Skin contact causes irritation and blisters. (8)

Targets

General Function:
Temperature-gated cation channel activity
Specific Function:
Receptor-activated non-selective cation channel involved in detection of pain and possibly also in cold perception and inner ear function (PubMed:25389312, PubMed:25855297). Has a central role in the pain response to endogenous inflammatory mediators and to a diverse array of volatile irritants, such as mustard oil, cinnamaldehyde, garlic and acrolein, an irritant from tears gas and vehicule exhaust fumes (PubMed:25389312, PubMed:20547126). Is also activated by menthol (in vitro)(PubMed:25389312). Acts also as a ionotropic cannabinoid receptor by being activated by delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component of marijuana (PubMed:25389312). May be a component for the mechanosensitive transduction channel of hair cells in inner ear, thereby participating in the perception of sounds. Probably operated by a phosphatidylinositol second messenger system (By similarity).
