Details on study design:
- Dose selection rationale:
According to the relevant guidelines (OECD No. 417), experiments shall be performed using one "high" dose level which should cause slight toxic effects and at which there might be changes in toxicokinetic parameters and one "low" dose level causing no toxic effects. The above mentioned doses of 500 and 25 mg/kg bw have been selected using the results from previously performed studies on the biokinetics and subacute or subchronic toxicity with Trilon A 92 (ref. 1-3).
As the study results should be set in relation to already available data from the same test system, the same mode of administration (oral) was used.
Details on dosing and sampling:

Results and discussion

Preliminary studies:
Based on theoretical considerations and published data, it was assumed that the systemically available portion of dose, i.e. the absorbed portion of dose, is exclusively excreted via urine and no metabolism of Trilon A 92 occurs. The portion of dose of Trilon A 92 which is found
in urine, thus, directly gives the bioavailability of Trilon A 92. For this reason only urine samples were analyzed for Trilon A 92.

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on absorption:
Single oral administration of high dose:
(nominally 500 mg/kg bw (actually received on average: 440.9 mg/kg bw) corresponding to 132.05 mg per animal.)
Within 72 hours after single oral administration to male rats 40.71 % of the applied dose was found in urine. => bioavailability 40.71 %

Single oral administration of low dose:
(nominally 25 mg/kg bw (actually received on average: 21.8 mg/kg bw) corresponding to 6.6 mg per animal.)
Within 72 hours after single oral administration to male rats 53.03 % of the applied dose was found in urine. => bioavailability 53.03 %


Repeated oral administration of high dose:
(nominally 500 mg/kg bw /day (actually received on average: 453.4 mg/kg bw/day) resulting in a mean total dose of 878.91 mg per animal over 7 days of treatment.)
Continuously decreasing body weight during treatment period.
Increasing body weight during 72 hour observation period after last administration.
47.81 % of the total dose applied could be found in the urine collected during the treatment period and up to 72 hours after the last administration. => bioavailability over 7 days = 47,81 % (with some variations on a daily basis: range: 27.89 % on day 3 and 62.09 on day 4)
Details on excretion:
Single oral administration of high dose:
The urinary excretion half-life of Trilon A 92 was calculated to be 6.2 hours.
Kinetic analysis revealed a mean residence time of Trilon A 92 of 11.9 hours.

Single oral administration of low dose:
The urinary excretion half-life of Trilon A 92 was calculated to be 4.7 hours.
Kinetic analysis revealed a mean residence time of Trilon A 92 of 6.5 hours.

Repeated oral administration of high dose:
The urinary excretion half-life of Trilon A 92 was calculated to be 5.4 hours.
Kinetic analysis revealed a mean residence time of Trilon A 92 of 8.5 hours.

All these data do not give an indication that induction or saturation of urinary excretion of Trilon A 92 occurs after repeated oral administration.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): no bioaccumulation potential based on study results
After single and repeated oral administration Na3NTA was rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Absorption, however, was incomplete amounting to about 50 % of the dose applied. The excretion of Na3NTA was rapid with an urinary excretion half-life of about 5-6 hours.
Executive summary:

In an absorption and excretion study according to OECD 417 Na3NTA was administered to male Wistar rats in single oral administration at dose levels of 500 mg/kg and 25 mg/kg bw, and repeated oral administration at a dose level of 500 mg/kg/day, nominally.

After single and repeated oral administration Na3NTA was rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Absorption, however, was incomplete amounting to about 50 % of the dose applied. Excretion was rapid with an urinary excretion half-life of about 5-6 hours.

The investigation does not give an indication that induction or saturation of urinary excretion of Na3NTA occurs after repeated oral administration. The experiment does not indicate any bioaccumulation potential.

This absorption and excretion study in male Wistar rats is classified acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirements in rats according to OECD 417.
