Results and discussion
Main ADME resultsopen allclose all
- Type:
- absorption
- Results:
- The test substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapor, through the skin and by ingestion.
- Type:
- distribution
- Results:
- Given the high water solubility of the chemical (approx. 21000 mg/L at 20 deg C), it is expected that the chemical shall be transported via blood to other parts of the body.
- Type:
- metabolism
- Results:
- Metabolism: Most of the metabolism of chemicals/drugs in living organisms is reported to take place in the liver.
- Type:
- excretion
- Results:
- No information about the excretion of the chemical is available.
Metabolite characterisation studies
- Metabolites identified:
- yes
- Details on metabolites:
- p-aminophenol &
p-methoxy-n-methylaniline
Any other information on results incl. tables
The predicted bio-concentration factor (BCF) for p-anisidine using the EPI Suite model is 3.16 L/kg wet-wt. This value suggests, low bio-accumulation potential.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information): other: Bio-accumulation potential cannot be judged based on the available information.
The test substance p-anisidine can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapor, through the skin and by ingestion. Considering the high water solubility and low partition co-efficient values, the chemical after absorption shall be bio-available for metabolism. However, since no information is available on the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of p-anisidine in humans, bio-accumulation potential cannot be judged based on the available information. - Executive summary:
The test substance p-anisidine can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapor, through the skin and by ingestion.This chemical also has a harmonized classification for acute oral, inhalation and dermal toxicity. Considering the high water solubility and low partition co-efficient values, the chemical after absorption shall be bio-available for metabolism. There is no information on the metabolites formed in humans; though in rabbits it is suggested that p-aminophenol & p-methoxy-n-methylaniline are formed. Reports also suggest that it leads to blood damage in living organisms.
However, since no information is available on the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of p-anisidine in humans, bio-accumulation potential cannot be judged based on the available information.
