- Positive control reference chemical:

- Details on study design:
- At the end of each experiment, the animal was anesthetized with an ip injection of 60 mg/kg ketamine and 8.6 mg/kg xylazine. Blood was then withdrawn via cardiac puncture until death occurred. Tissue samples were collected and stored in the dark at -20C until analzyed.
- Details on dosing and sampling:
- Animals were fasted 24 overnight prior to oral dosing.
The specifi activity of the [14C] crotonaldehyde was adjusted by combining appropriate amounts of unlabeled crotonaldehyde with purified [14c] crotonaldehyde (in HPLC mobile phase consisting of 10% ethanol in water) so that the correct dose was contained in ca. 1 mL of the sode formulation.
Oral doses were prepared in argon-purged vials sealed with teflon-faced silicone septum caps adn wrapped in aluminum foil. Dosing solutions were administered within 2 hrs of their preparation. Dose was calculated as the difference between the weights of the filled and empty dosing apparatus.
An aliquot of the dose formulation was removed after each 1ml dose was administered in order to determine the amount of 14C crotonaldeyde in each dose. This was necessary beacuase of the volatility of crotonaldehyde. The purity of the dosing solution was assayed by HPLC after all the animals had been dosed.
Urine and feces were collected separately over the time intervals (12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours). Urine was collected in round bottom flasks over dry ice. Feces were collected in tail cups secured to the rats with surgical adhesive. Urine and feces were stored in the dark at -20C until analyzed.
Breath was collected by two different trapping methods. in method A, which trapped volatile organics and CO2, air was pulled through the metabolism cages at 200-500 mL/min and then through a series of 3 traps. The first contained ca. 75ml of 9% ethanol in water maintained in ice water. The second contained ca 75 ml of 1% crotonaldehyde in 2-propanol (w/v) maintained in a dry ice-acetone bath. The thrid trap contained 400 mL of 1N sodium hydroxide maintained at ambient temp.
In Method B, which trapped only 14CO2, air was pulled through the metabolism cage at 200-500 ml/min and then through a series of two traps each containing 400 ml of 1N sodium hydroxide maintained at ambient temp. Breath trap solutions were stored at room temp until analyzed - Statistics:

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies
- Details on absorption:
- The amount excreted in the feces is the amount that was not absorbed the systemic circulation since no excretion in feces by IV dosing (in same study). > or equal to 93% absorption from oral gavage administration. The percent dose excreted in feces (6-7% was consistent with the small percentage of the 14C that in the in vitro study (same study) was bound to stomach contents.
- Details on distribution in tissues:
- the percent of oral dose in tissues 72 h after dosing was essentially the same for doses of 35 and 0.67 mg/kg, except for that of the stomach which contained 0.2% and 0.8% of the doses, respectively. Tissue-blood ratios (TBR) were higher than in IV administration. Tissues with TBR values between 1 and 2 included skin, intestines, seminal vesicles, prostate, lungs, spleen, kidney and heart. Higher TBR values were observed in teh adrenals(3.4 and 4.6), trachea (2 and 2.3), stomach (3.9 and 14), esophagus (3 and 4.4) and liver (2.9 and 7.1),
- Details on excretion:
- Urine and exhaled air were major routes of excretion of [14c] crotonaldehyde. 38-39% excreted in urine, 44-49% in breath as CO2 and 6-7% in feces in 72 hours. No change in excretion pattern over the dose range (0.67, 3,3 and 35 mg/kg bw). Essentially no unmetabolized crotonaldehyde was excreted via the urine. Excretion of 14C in breath was essentialy entirely 14CO2. The very small amounts of (<1.5% of dose) of 14C trapped in the cryogenic (organic vapors) trap may also be 14CO2 dissolved in the 2-propanol trapping solution.
Metabolite characterisation studies
- Metabolites identified:
- yes
- Details on metabolites:
- 3-hydroxy-1-methylpropylmercapturic acid and 2-carboxy-1-methylethylmerpaturic acid as urinary metbaolite

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information): no bioaccumulation potential based on study results
no bioaccumulation potential based on study results - Executive summary:
[14C]Crotonaldehyde of greater than 96% radiochemical purity was obtained as a 1:9 ethanol:water solution by high performance liquid chromatography of commercial [14C]crotonaldehyde.
Orally administered [14C] crotonaldehyde at doses of 0.7, 3 and 35 mg/k was greater than 90% absorbed. Within 12 h of dosing, 78, 74 adn 60 percent of the dose, respectively, had been excreted in breath and urine. In 3 days, 86, 83 and 82%, respectively, had been excreted by these routes. An additional 7% off the dose was excreted in feces.
