Copper dimethyldithiocarbamate (CDDC) has been recently introduced as an alternative to chromated copper arsenate (CCA) preserved wood. The potential effects on human health and the environment with CDDC-treated wood have not been examined. This study investigated the toxicity and accumulation of copper in the hippocampus of maternal and newborn Long-Evans rats, and in maternal livers and kidneys following a subacute exposure to CDDC. Pregnant rats (220-270 g) were treated daily with 0, 25, 50, or 75 mg/kg CDDC by oral gavage starting from day 6 of gestation and continuing to parturition. Following parturition, maternal and newborn rats were euthanized. Brain, liver, and renal tissues were removed, processed, and stored for analysis. Electron microscopy revealed demyelination and by-products of peroxidative damage in treated maternal hippocampi. Treated newborn hippocampi exhibited numerous degenerating mitochondria, membrane bound inclusion bodies, and vacuoles containing degraded structures. Western blot analysis revealed an induction of stress proteins HO-1 and Hsp70, and the formation of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4HNE) adducts. Overt destruction of liver architecture and renal tissue was observed. Graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry demonstrated a significant increase in copper concentration in the tissues of treated animals as compared to controls. CDDC was shown to be toxic to the brains, livers, and kidneys at all doses used, and this toxicity is attributable to copper-induced lipid peroxidation.
