Results and discussion

Main ADME resultsopen allclose all
Type:
absorption
Results:
In rats TBTO was absorbed incompletely and slowly from the gastro-intestinal tract.
Type:
distribution
Results:
Distribution in the organism was rapid. Maximum plasma levels were reached after about 1 day.
Type:
distribution
Results:
High residues of radiolabel were found in the liver and kidney (I to 3 days after dosing) of which only a small amount was unchanged TBTO. The liver contained more than 95% of radiolabel as TBTO metabolites.
Type:
distribution
Results:
Other organs and tissues (e.g.,brain and fatty tissue) showed lower concentrations but the fraction of unchanged TBTO was higher.
Type:
distribution
Results:
Whole body autoradiography did not demonstrate high levels of radiolabel in peripheral tissues as compared to excretory organs and contents of gastro-intestinal tract.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): other: •Bio-accumulation potential cannot be judged based on study resultsBis(tributyltin) oxide was found to be absorbed incompletely and slowly from the gastro-intestinal tract. Distribution in the organism was rapid. The liver contained more than 95% of radiolabel as TBTO metabolites. However, in the absence of information related to excretion out of the living system of Rat; the bio-accumulation potential cannot be judged based on study results.
Executive summary:

Bis(tributyltin) oxide was found to beabsorbed incompletely and slowly from the gastro-intestinal tract. Distribution in the organism was rapid. The liver contained more than 95% of radiolabel as TBTO metabolites. However, in the absence of information related to excretion out of the living system of Rat; the bio-accumulation potential cannot be judged based on study results.
