Calcium lactate

Calcium lactate is a salt that consists of two lactate anions for each calcium cation (Ca2+). It is prepared commercially by the neutralization of lactic acid with calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide. Approved by the FDA as a direct food substance affirmed as generally recognized as safe, calcium lactate is used as a firming agent, flavoring agent, leavening agent, stabilizer, and thickener. Calcium lactate is also found in daily dietary supplements as a source of calcium. It is also available in various hydrate forms, where calcium lactate pentahydrate is the most common.

Pharmacology

Both components of calcium lactate, calcium ion and lactic acid, play essential roles in the human body as a skeletal element an energy source, respectively [F59].

Mechanism of Action

In aqueous environments such as the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, calcium lactate will dissociate into calcium cation and lactic acid anions, the conjugate base of lactic acid. Lactic acid is a naturally-occurring compound that serves as fuel or energy in mammals by acting as an ubiquitous intermediate in the metabolic pathways [F59]. Lactic acid diffuses through the muscles and is transported to the liver by the bloodstream to participate in gluconeogenesis [F59].

Environmental Fate/Exposure Summary

Androstenedione’s production and administration as a drug to treat symptoms due to male andropause, dietary supplement, and athletic performance-enhancing drug may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams. Androstenedione is a naturally occurring androgen produced by the adrenal gland and converted to testosterone or estrone. It is produced naturally in humans during the production of testosterone and estrogen. It can be formed in soils via the metabolism of testosterone and estradiol occurring in poultry and livestock manures used as agricultural fertilizers. If released to air an extrapolated vapor pressure of 7.35X10-9 mm Hg at 20 °C indicates androstenedione will exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase androstenedione will be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals and with ozone; the half-lives for these reactions in the air are estimated to be 3.5 hours and 1 day respectively. Particulate-phase androstenedione will be removed from the atmosphere by wet and dry deposition. Androstenedione absorbs light at wavelengths >290 nm, and therefore, may be susceptible to direct photolysis. If released to soil, androstenedione is expected to have no mobility based upon a Koc of 6170. Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon an estimated Henry’s Law constant of 3.7X10-8 atm-cu m/mole. Androstenedione is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces based upon its vapor pressure. Results of soil column studies using various soils and sands found that half-life of androstenedione ranged from 1.7 to 77 hours. If released into water, androstenedione is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment based upon the Koc. Using OECD Guideline 301B (CO2 Evolution Test), androstenedione reached 79-95% degradation over a 28-day incubation period which classified the compound as readily biodegradable. Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon this compound’s estimated Henry’s Law constant. An estimated BCF of 30 suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low to moderate. Hydrolysis is not expected to be an important environmental fate process since this compound lacks functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions. Androstenedione in aqueous solutions underwent direct photolysis half-lives ranging from 3.7 to 10.8 hours in direct sunlight. Occupational exposure to androstenedione may occur through dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where androstenedione is produced or used.
