4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Therapeutic Uses

Morpholine has antibacterial and antimycotic properties, as has been demonstrated on pathogenic organisms.

WHO/Health and Safety Guide No. 92 for Morpholine (1995). Available from, as of May 14, 2010: https://www.inchem.org/pages/hsg.html


Morpholine, like other amines, shows antibacterial and anti-mycotic action. /It was/ demonstrated that 0.5% morpholine inhibits the growth of a variety of pathogenic bacteria on agar plates and in liquid medium. Application of 10% morpholine was shown to cure an experimental mycosis in guinea pigs caused by Trychophyton mentagrophytes var. granulosum. The pH was not specified.

WHO; Environ Health Criteria 179: Morpholine (1996). Available from, as of May 14, 2010: https://www.inchem.org/pages/ehc.html


4.2 Minimum/Potential Fatal Human Dose

4. 4 = very toxic: probable oral lethal dose (human) 50-500 mg/kg; between 1 teaspoon & 1 ounce for 70 kg person (150 lb).

Gosselin, R.E., H.C. Hodge, R.P. Smith, and M.N. Gleason. Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products. 4th ed. Baltimore: Williams and Wilkins, 1976., p. II-74


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

The results of a variety of in vivo and in vitro experiments suggested that the kidneys were the primary route of elimination of morpholine in the rabbit. Morpholine was not bound to serum proteins and was excreted 90% unchanged. The concentration of [14C]morpholine in the renal cortex was 6.6 times the concentration in the blood, and in the renal medulla was 15.3 times the concentration in the blood after 30 min after the intravenous injection of single boluses of labeled compound. The chemical appeared to be distributed mainly to the extracellular space, and its rate of elimination was enhanced by acidification of the urine.

PMID:7268791 Van Stee EW et al; Toxicology 20 (1): 53-50 (1981)


Morpholine is well absorbed after oral and dermal administration and inhalation. Distribution studies showed that in rabbits, following inhalation or injection, the highest concentrations of morpholine were found in the kidney, whereas, in rats, high concentrations were found in muscle. In mice, rats, hamsters, guinea-pigs, and rabbits, almost all ingested or intravenously or intraperitoneally injected morpholine was excreted unchanged in the urine. In guinea-pigs, the metabolite N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide was identified. Only 0.5% was eliminated as CO2.

WHO/Health and Safety Guide No. 92 for Morpholine (1995). Available from, as of May 14, 2010: https://www.inchem.org/pages/hsg.html


Female New Zealand rabbits (number not given) were exposed to morpholine (905 mg/ci m) for 5 hr by nose-only inhalation. At the end of the exposure, the animals were sacrificed and the tissue and body fluids analyzed. Concentrations of morpholine were highest in urine (324 mg/L) and kidney (118 mg/kg), the other tissues having concentrations below 40 mg/kg.

WHO; Environ Health Criteria 179: Morpholine (1996). Available from, as of May 14, 2010: https://www.inchem.org/pages/ehc.html


Elimination of (14)C from labeled morpholine (intraperitoneal injection) through expired air is minimal. In rats, experiments have shown that only about 0.5% of the dose of radioactively labelled morpholine is exhaled as (14)CO2. In rabbits 0.0008% of the administered dose was (14)CO2.

5.2 Metabolism/Metabolites

There is ample evidence that this substance can be nitrosated to the carcinogenic N-nitrosomorpholine (NMOR) by reactions ... within the human body ... NMOR may be formed following concomitant administration of morpholine and nitrite or nitrous oxide under physiological conditions.

WHO/Health and Safety Guide No. 92 for Morpholine (1995). Available from, as of May 14, 2010: https://www.inchem.org/pages/hsg.html


Immunostimulation of rats by intraperitoneal treatment with E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 1 mg/kg) led to a large increase in urinary nitrate and urinary metabolites of NMOR (N-nitrosomorpholine) when morpholine (80 umol/kg) and L-arginine (400 umol/kg) were injected intraperitoneally. The replacement of LPS with nitrate (330 umol/kg intraperitoneal) did not increase urinary metabolites of NMOR. This result is consistent with endogenous nitrosation of morpholine by nitrogen oxide (NO) from oxidation of the guanido group of arginine by induced NO synthase.

WHO; Environ Health Criteria 179: Morpholine (1996). Available from, as of May 14, 2010: https://www.inchem.org/pages/ehc.html


In vitro nitrosation of morpholine has been reported. NMOR (N-nitrosomorpholine) was formed when morpholine was added to human saliva. Additionally, a new type of metabolite, N-cyanomorpholine, was identified in human saliva.

WHO; Environ Health Criteria 179: Morpholine (1996). Available from, as of May 14, 2010: https://www.inchem.org/pages/ehc.html


A method /was developed/ to monitor the in vivo formation of NMOR (N-nitrosomorpholine) by measuring N-nitroso (2-hydroxyethyl)glycine, its major urinary metabolite. The formation of NMOR was measured in F-344 rats over wide range of doses of morpholine (38.3 - 0.92 umol) and sodium nitrite (191 - 4.8 umol). According to estimates ..., 0.5 to 12% of the morpholine, depending on the dose, was nitrosated.

5.3 Biological Half-Life

After ip admin of 125 mg/kg (14)C-morpholine (50 uCi)/animal, the blood plasma half-lives in the rat, hamster, and guinea pig were 115, 120, and 300 min, respectively.

PMID:7135398 Sohn OS et al; Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 64 (3): 486-91 (1982)


5.4 Mechanism of Action

The irritating and corrosive properties of morpholine are due to its basicity. The mechanism of action of its systemic effects is not known.

WHO; Environ Health Criteria 179: Morpholine (1996).


Morpholine fungicides have been shown to act by inhibiting several enzymes of sterol biosynthesis.
