Materials and methods

Objective of study:
excretion
Principles of method if other than guideline:
At regular intervals up to 32 h after a single dose of 95 mg Na2EDTA the gastrointestinal tract was removed and the stomach, small intestine and colon subjected to thorough washing before determining the EDTA concentrations of each of these sections.

no

Results and discussion

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on absorption:
All EDTA had passed through the stomach within 12 h and 93% of the dose was recovered in the colon after 32 h, which demonstrated a poor absorption from GI tract.
Details on distribution in tissues:
The contents of the small intestine and urine reached a maximum about 4 h after dosage.
Details on excretion:
Urinary excretion over the period of 32 h cumulated to 6% of the dose.

Metabolite characterisation studies

Details on metabolites:
no data

Any other information on results incl. tables

- When adults received daily doses of 95 mg Na2EDTA for 7 days the percentage of daily excretion in urine and feces was similar.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
All EDTA had passed through the stomach within 12 h and 93% of the dose was recovered in the colon after 32 h, which demonstrated a poor absorption from GI tract.
