Molecular formula, molecular weight, pKa and logD were all calculated using ChemAxon MarvinSketch (v.5.4.0.1).
Melting point, boiling point, vapour pressure and logPow were estimated by EPI Suite (v4.1).
Solubility and logPow are estimated using ALOGPS 2.1 (VCCLAB, Virtual Computational Chemistry Laboratory,http://www.vcclab.org, 2005)

Absorption
Piperazine has been shown to be readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, the REACH dossier suggest 100% absorption. Information in the REACH dossier for Aminoethyl piperazine also suggests high oral bioavailability. The information from the QSAR tool box above indicates similar high percentage of human intestinal absorption, for all three substances; therefore 1-methyl piperazine is expected to have high oral bioavailability. Also all three should be absorbed through the skin with 1 -methyl piperazine and aminoethyl piperazine having a similar and higher potential for dermal penetration based on the data from the model. The physico chemical properties both measured and calculated above, indicate more similarities between the aminoethyl piperazine and the 1-methyl piperazine which are both liquids at room temperature compared to piperazine which is a crystalline solid and both have higher water solubility.
Distribution
Based on related molecules such as diethylene triamine wide distribution in the tissues of the body would be expected for the 1-methyl piperazine , this is also expected for piperazine and aminoethyl piperazine, due to their basic nature and high water solubility/ low Log Pows. This would be followed by rapid elimination of the substances and their metabolites, mainly via the urine.
Metabolism
Metabolism data is not available for 1-methyl piperazine, piperazine or amino ethyl piperazine. The Rat liver S9 metabolism simulatorand skin metabolism simulator in the OECD tool box, predict similar metabolites for piperazine and 1-methyl piperazine, with some similar metabolites for the aminoethyl piperazine based on the oxidation of the ethylamine group. (see attached documents for details). Any piperazine formed will be metabolized to ethylene diamine by N-dealkylation of the piperazine ring. Other possible aldehydes which are possibly formed such as formaldehyde from the 1-methyl piperazine would be finally metabolized to CO2.
Excretion
Excretion of the 1-methy piperazine and its metabolites would be expected to be primarily in the urine with a small percentage in the faeces based on the available information on piperazine and related amines. Some of the products of the metabolism such as aldehydes would be fully metabolized and excreted as CO2.
