- Details on absorption:
- No data available
- Details on distribution in tissues:
- No data available
- Details on excretion:
- 1% free non-acidic phenol, 13% ethereal sulphate, 1 % ester glucuronide, 50 % ether glucuronide and 69 % ether-soluble acid were recovered in urine
- Metabolites identified:
- yes
- Details on metabolites:
- The major portion of the dose (77-93 %) being excreted as O-conjugates. the values for ether glucuronide are somewhat lower than those for the ether-soluble acid. This difference probably arises from decomposition occurring during the preliminary hydrolysis which case the crystals obtained were shown by comparison is carried out in 5N-sulphuric acid.
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information): low bioaccumulation potential based on study results
On the basis of observed result it is concluded that 2,3-dimethylphenol show O-conjugates metabolism and excreted in the form of ethereal sulphate, ester glucuronide, ether glucuronide and ether-soluble acid in urine. Hence, expected to have Low bio-accumulation potential based on study results. - Executive summary:
In a in vivo metabolism study, rabbit were treated with 2,3-dimethylphenol orally by gavage at 1000 mg. It was observed that 2,3-dimethylphenol were excreted as O-conjugates by preliminary hydrolysis which case the crystals obtained were shown by comparison is carried out in 5N-sulphuric acid. 1% free non-acidic phenol, 13% ethereal sulphate, 1 % ester glucuronide, 50 % ether glucuronide and 69 % ether-soluble acid were recovered in urine.Therefore, On the basis of observed result it is concluded that 2,3-dimethylphenol show O-conjugates metabolism and excreted in the form of ethereal sulphate, ester glucuronide, ether glucuronide and ether-soluble acid in urine. Hence, expected to have Low bio-accumulation potential based on study results.
