Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on absorption:
Not Specified
Details on distribution in tissues:
Not Specified
Details on excretion:
In the rabbit, no cleavage of the ether linkage /of phenyl ether occurs.

Metabolite characterisation studies

Metabolites identified:
yes
Details on metabolites:
The major metabolite was the p-hydroxylated ether, which is excreted both unconjugated (15%) and conjugated with glucuronic acid (63%) and sulfuric acid (12%). Another metabolite was also isolated from the rabbit urine and fairly well identified as di(p-hydroxyphenyl) ether.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Diphenyl Ether, when injected into the rabbit, was excreted in the urine as p-hydroxyphenyl phenyl ether and none was excreted as the unchanged ether.
Confirmation of these observation showed that in the rabbit no cleavage of the ether linkage occurs. The major metabolite was the p-hydroxylated ether, which is excreted both unconjugated (15%) and conjugated with glucuronic acid (63%) and sulfuric acid (12%). Another metabolite was also identified as di(p-hydroxyphenyl)-ether.
Executive summary:
