Peringatan Keamanan

LC50 via inhalation in rat is 7338 ppm/1h MSDS. High exposure to ammonia can cause pulmonary edema, which may be life-threatening. Exposure can cause headache, loss of sense of smell, nausea, and vomiting. While mammals has various mechanisms to detoxify and excrete ammonia from the body, death has been reported after an exposure to 10,000 ppm for an unknown duration. Bradycardia was seen at 2,500 ppm, and hypertension and cardiac arrhythmias leading to cardiovascular collapse followed acute exposures to concentrations exceeding 5,000 ppm L2033.

Deskripsi

Ammonia is a naturally-occurring compound with a chemical formula NH3 and structure of trigonal pyramidal geometry. It is a colorless gas with a pungent smell, and become NH4, or ammonium ion, when in water. Although ammonia is used as a food additive in the anhydrous form and serves as a starting material in pharmaceutical and commercial products, it is caustic and hazardous when concentrated. Ammonia gas has been used in the clinical setting as a respiratory stimulant to prevent fainting. The radiolabelled form of ammonia, ammonia N 13, is intravenously administered as a radioactive diagnostic agent for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging of the myocardium to evaluate myocardial perfusion. Ammonia is a natural byproduct of biological and chemical reactions, including decomposition of organic matter, including plants, animals, and animal wastes. It is present in normally present in all tissues constituting a metabolic pool, where it is mostly taken up by glutamic acid and take part in transamination and other reactions, including the synthesis of protein by the Krebs-Hanseleit cycle in the liver L2033. It is proposed that human adults produce about 1000 mmol of ammonia daily, most of which undergoes excretion in the urine.

Profil Farmakokinetik

Waktu Paruh (Half-Life) In normal rat brain, blood-derived ammonia was rapidly converted to glutamine, indicating very short half-life of less than 3 seconds [L2033].

Absorpsi

Ammonia can be absorbed via oral or inhalation route. Inhales ammonia is temporarily dissolved in the mucus of the upper respiratory tract, however the majority of the gas is released back into the air via expiration L2033. In healthy male subjects under exposure to 500 ppm ammonia for 10-27 minutes, about 70-80% of total inspired ammonia was expired L2033. In extrahepatic tissues such as the intestine, ammonia is incorporated into nontoxic glutamine and released into blood, where it is transported to the liver for ureagenesis L2033.

Metabolisme

Healthy hepatocytes detoxify ammonia where hepatic glutaminase, glutamine synthetase and the urea cycle enzymes act as major enzymes for ammonia metabolism. Ammonia is converted to urea in the liver and other tissues. Glutaminase and glutamine synthetase catalyze the condensation of ammonia with glutamate to glutamine, which is a common nontoxic carrier of ammonia A32385. In case of hepatic dysfunction or impairment, detoxification capacity decreases and may cause severe pathologies from hyperammonemia, such as hepatic encephalopathy L2033.

Rute Eliminasi

It is mainly excreted through expired air or renal elimination L2033.
