Cyanamide is an exogenous organic compound with the formula CH2N2 and an average molecular weight of 42.04 g/mol. At room temperature, this compound exists as a solid. Cyanamide belongs to the amines, a subclass of organonitrogen compounds within the organic compounds. Biologically, cyanamide acts as an inhibitor of the aldehyde dehydrogenase (NAD(+)) (EC 1.2.1.3). It has six recorded protein targets, which include Interleukin-1 alpha (IL1A), Transforming growth factor beta-1 proprotein (TGFB1), C-C motif chemokine 2 (CCL2), and Cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9). The compound is found in or released from 55 recorded sources across multiple sectors. Within the food, food processing, and cookware sector, it is associated with the processing of meats and fish, food preservation, the preparation of wine or sparkling wine, and fermentation processes for beer. It is detected in aquatic systems and sediments, including seawater, freshwater, surface water, and groundwater, as well as in drinking water and water supply sources such as bottled water, tap water, and desalinated water. Other sources include building and construction materials like ceilings, floors, roofs, stairs, ramps, and waterproofing sprays; household cleaning and consumer products including soap detergents, bleaching agents, pipe accessories, perfumes within detergents and soaps, and cigar cigarettes; and electrical and electronic equipment such as antennas, coils, communication cables or conductors, adjustable resistors, and conductors or conductive bodies characterised by the conductive materials. Recorded exposure routes for cyanamide include oral, inhalation, and touch.

Toxicity / Toxin ClassNot Available
Mechanism of ToxicityOrganic nitriles decompose into cyanide ions both in vivo and in vitro. Consequently the primary mechanism of toxicity for organic nitriles is their production of toxic cyanide ions or hydrogen cyanide. Cyanide is an inhibitor of cytochrome c oxidase in the fourth complex of the electron transport chain (found in the membrane of the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells). It complexes with the ferric iron atom in this enzyme. The binding of cyanide to this cytochrome prevents transport of electrons from cytochrome c oxidase to oxygen. As a result, the electron transport chain is disrupted and the cell can no longer aerobically produce ATP for energy. Tissues that mainly depend on aerobic respiration, such as the central nervous system and the heart, are particularly affected. Cyanide is also known produce some of its toxic effects by binding to catalase, glutathione peroxidase, methemoglobin, hydroxocobalamin, phosphatase, tyrosinase, ascorbic acid oxidase, xanthine oxidase, succinic dehydrogenase, and Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase. Cyanide binds to the ferric ion of methemoglobin to form inactive cyanmethemoglobin. (2)
