Adequacy of study:

other information

Reliability:

3 (not reliable)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: This study is considered not reliable as only one test animal was used for studying the organ distribution as well as the excretion. Thus there are significant methodological deficiences and the study is rated Klimisch 3b.

Objective of study:

distribution

excretion

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Labelled benzoyl chloride was applied over a 3 cm² area on the dorsal musculature of two male Wistar rat through a small incision. Of one of these rats urine and feces was collected during a 15 day period. The major internal organs of the other rat were isolated after 3 days.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information): no data
The authors tested the distribution in organs and the excretion via urine and feces of benzoyl chloride. Labelled benzoyl chloride was applied over a 3 cm² area on the dorsal musculature of two male Wistar rats through a small incision. Of one of these rats urine and feces was collected during a 15 day period., while the major internal organs of the other rat were isolated after 3 days. In these test conditions only a very small amount of radioactivity was found in the urine and feces measured over a period of 15 d. The distribution of benzoyl chloride was as follows: heart < brain < kidneys < spleen < liver < lungs < skin/muscle.

Executive summary:

The authors tested the distribution in organs and the excretion via urine and feces of benzoyl chloride (CAS n° 98-88-4). Labelled benzoyl chloride (10µL, specific activity 3 µc/µL) was applied over a 3 cm² area on the dorsal musculature of two male Wistar rats through a small incision. Of one of these rats urine and feces was collected during a 15 day period., while the major internal organs of the other rat were isolated 3 days after application. In these test conditions only a very small amount of radioactivity was found in the urine and feces measured over a period of 15 d. Furthermore, the distribution of benzoyl chloride was as follows: heart < brain < kidneys < spleen < liver < lungs < skin/muscle.

No data is available on the GLP status of this study. Moreover, this study is considered not reliable as only one test animal was used for studying the organ distribution as well as the excretion via urine and feces. Hence there are significant methodological deficiences and the study is rated Klimisch 3b.
