Results and discussion

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on absorption:
In toxico-kinetics, the fastest route of absorption is inhalation. The vapour pressure of phenethyl phenylacetate is equivalent to 0.024797 Pascal at 25oC. Therefore it is assumed that absoprtion of phenethyl phenylacetate shall be moderate by the inhalation route. Assuming that the absoprtion via the other route of exposure (oral or dermal) is also significant but since the bio-concentration factor (BCF) of phenethyl phenylacetate is 310 which is below the threhold of 1000 when chemicals tend to bio-accumulate, even if phenethyl phenylacetate is absorbed it shall not bio-accumulate and thereby bio-concentration within the living system.

Details on distribution in tissues:
The water solubility of phenethyl phenylacetate is less compared to its solubility in organic solvent. Hence phenethyl phenylacetate shall not be distributed so easily to various parts of the body thru blood though there could be some distribution; given its solubility in the lipid fraction of blood. However, the low BCF will ensure that the chemical shall not bio-accumulate.
Details on excretion:
Since phenethyl phenylacetate is not likely to bio-accumulate inside the living system, it shall be excreted, either through the urine or the feaces.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): other: No bio-accumulation potential deduced on the basis of physico-chemical properties and bio-concentration factor
Based upon the physico-chemical properties and BCF of phenethyl phenylacetate, it has been deduced that the chemical has potentially low bio-accumulative property and hence shall be eliminated from the body system through urine or feaces.
Executive summary:

Based upon the physico-chemical properties and BCF of phenethyl phenylacetate, it has been deduced that the chemical has potentially low bio-accumulative property and hence shall be eliminated from the body system through urine or feaces.
