Title:
The metabolism of 14C-labeled ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid in the rat
Author:
Foreman H, Vier M, Magee M
Year:
1953
Bibliographic source:
J Biol Chem 203, 1045-1053

Materials and methods

Objective of study:
absorption
excretion
metabolism
toxicokinetics
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Metabolism studies were conducted in rat. First distribution and balance studies were carried out with male animals. The animals were housed individually in metabolism cages for the separate collection of expired CO2, urine and feces. In a second series of experiments detailed studies on blood and urine were conducted on female animals. Studies were made after intraperitoneal, intravenous, intramuscular, and oral administration (intubation).

Results and discussion

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on absorption:
Oral studies:
2-18% (most of the values were in the range of 2-4%)
Details on distribution in tissues:
- no organ retained more than 0.5% of the dose
Details on excretion:
ORAL
- 2-18% of the dose was excreted in the urine
- 80-95% of the dose was excreted via feces within 24 h
- less than 0.1% of the dose was exhaled as CO2

PARENTERAL ADMINISTRATION
- 95 - 98% of the dose appeared in the urine within 6 h (iv: 96.09%; ip: 98.67%; im: 95.35%)
- less than 0.1% of the dose was exhaled as CO2
- the dose size 250 mg/kg bw vs 50 mg/kg bw had no effect on the excretion kinetics

Metabolite characterisation studies

Details on metabolites:
Chromatography provided evidence that EDTA is not metabolized but passes the body unchanged.

Any other information on results incl. tables

While the half-life determine in urine was 31 to 35 min after parenteral application, a 50% drop of activity in plasma took 35- 50 min.
