Bioaccumulation potential:
no bioaccumulation potential

Additional information

Male and female rats were exposed to the substance via inhalation and toxicokinetics parameters including absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion were evaluated. These parameters subsequently provided information on the potential for accumulation of the test substance in the tissues/organs that were evaluated. The results indicated that test substance is systemically absorbed via the inhalation route of exposure and no indication of accumulation potential was identified. The absorption of the test substance was rapid with steady-state in whole blood occurring by 2 hours during a 6-hour exposure. The pharmacokinetic behavior of the substance in blood was similar between males and females following various exposure concentrations and durations with whole blood elimination half-lives ranging from 0.19-1.5 hours. The test substance was distributed throughout the tissues within 30 minutes after a single 6-hour exposure to 10000 ppm of the substance and there was no indication of accumulation potential. Excretion was substantially complete by 18 hours post exposure. The pattern of distribution and excretion was similar across sex and dose. The relatively small amounts of parent test substance that was detected in the urine and faeces were likely due to volatility during collection. Elimination via exhalation could not be determined under the conditions of this study. Metabolism of the absorbed dose was extensive and was characterized by identified components in blood, tissues, bile, urine, and faeces. The primary biotransformation steps for the test substance appear to be either oxidation or direct conjugation with glutathione. Additional secondary metabolism resulted in phase I and phase II metabolites including oxidation to a ketone, formation of a second glutathione conjugate, or further hydrolysis to dihydroxyl-test substance and glucuronidation. The glutathione conjugates were degraded to cysteine conjugates and N-acetylated cysteine conjugates. The metabolic profile appears to be qualitatively similar between male and female rats.
