Results and discussion

Main ADME results
Type:
other: absorption + excretion

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on absorption:
In two indepent experiments studying oral gavage in rats, 14.5% *MOCA was excreted in urine in the first 24 hours, although ony ca. 1% is excreted as parent MOCA. By far the largest percentage of *MOCA was excreted in the faeces (ca. 53.5% in the first 24 hours). By 96 hours the rate of exretion in both urine and faeces had been reduced below 1%.

In the skin experiments, the rate of excretion of *MOCA was fairly constant during a 3-day period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): other: upon oral administration in rats ca. 13.7% of *MOCA was retained in tissue and ca. 5-13% upon dermal administration
Upon oral administration of *MOCA to rats, ca. 68% is excreted via urine and faeces during the first 24 hours, excretion fells down rapidly during the third day. Within 72 hours ca. 16.5% of the administered compound is excreted in urine, but only 0.25% as parent MOCA. Circa 13% of *MOCA is retained in the tissues after 72 hours. Upon dermal administration of *MOCA to rats, ca. 2.5% is excreted via urine and faeces during the first 72 hours, wherease only very small amounts are excreted as parent MOCA.
Overall, urinary analysis for MOCA may not be a suitable indicator of the extent of recent exposure.
