General description

3,4,4′-Trichlorocarbanilide(TCC) is employed as bacteriostat and antimicrobial agent in bar soaps, cosmetics and other personal care prducts.TCC is a toxic, persistent and potentially bioaccumulative polychlorinated binuclear aromatic urea pesticide.

Application

3,4,4′-Trichlorocarbanilide was used to develop a sensitive analytical method to determine triclocarban and environmental phenols in breast milk using isotope dilution on-line solid-phase extraction coupled with HPLC–tandem mass spectrometry. 3,4,4′-Trichlorocarbanilide was used in quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR)analyses conducted to study the co-occurrence of Triclocarban and Triclosan in U.S. Water Resources.

Biochem/physiol Actions

3,4,4′-Trichlorocarbanilide interferes with mammalian reproduction and can cause methemoglobinemia in humans.

Triclocarban (TCC) and triclosan (TCS) are antimicrobial additives in personal care products. Whereas TCS has been studied extensively, the environmental fate of TCC remains largely unknown. To address this data gap, we performed quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analyses that suggested

Microtubule targeting agents (MTAs) characteristically promote phosphorylation and degradation of Mcl-1, and this represents a critical pro-apoptotic signal in mitotic death. While several phosphorylation sites and kinases have been implicated in mitotic arrest-induced Mcl-1 phosphorylation, a comprehensive biochemical analysis has

3,4,4'-Trichlorocarbanilide (triclocarban, TCC) is widely used as an antimicrobial agent in a variety of consumer and personal care products. Because of its widespread use, the potential for human exposure to TCC is high. Human exposure to TCC may be assessed

Triclosan (TCS) and triclocarban (TCC) are two commonly used personal care products. They may enter into aquatic environments after consumption and pose potential risks to aquatic organisms. We investigated the occurrence and fate of TCS and TCC in five large
