Materials and methods

Objective of study:

excretion

Principles of method if other than guideline:

A small quantity of 113Sn in 4M HCl was diluted into phosphate buffered saline containing isologous 10% normal mouse serum. One-half milliliter of this solution was injected intraperitoneally into each of five Swiss mice. Six days after injection of the labeled tin solution, 0.5 mL, containing 80 µg of stannous chloride, was injected into two of the five mice.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

intraperitoneal

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on exposure:

A small quanity of 113Sn in 4M HCl was diluted into phosphate buffered saline containing isologous 10% normal mouse serum. One-half milliliter of this solution was injected intraperitoneally into each of five Swiss mice. Six days after injection of the labeled tin solution, 0.5 mL, containing 80 µg of stannous chloride, was injected into two of the five mice.

Duration and frequency of treatment / exposure:

Six days after the 113Sn solution was injected, stannous chloride was injected

Doses / concentrations

Dose / conc.:

0.5 other: mL containing 80 µg of stannous chloride

No. of animals per sex per dose / concentration:

Five mice were injected with 113Sn. Six days later stannous chloride was injected into two of the mice.

Control animals:

no

Details on dosing and sampling:

The radioactivity of the mice was counted in a whole-body counter facility consisting of NaI crystals, each 6 in. in diameter. Two crystals were mounted from the roof of the steel room housing them and the other two crystals were mounted from the floor. Each mouse was counted between two crystals, one upper and one lower. It was confined to the central region of the crystals in a small cylindrical chamber attached to a plastic frame which fitted over the lower crystal and also served as a spacer for the crystals. This arrangement permitted an accurately reproducible and almost 4 pi counting geometry.
The system was calibrated so that 512 channels represented 512 keV. The accumulated counts in all channels in the region of the mean photopeaks of labeled tin and indium, its decay product, were printed out.

Results and discussion

Main ADME results

Type:

excretion

Results:

Curve fitting by least squares gave an effective half-life of 25 days for 113Sn activity and 21 days for labeled indium, with coefficients of determination of 0.93 and 0.80, respectively.

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on excretion:

The injection of the unlabeled tin into two mice which had been injected with 113Sn had no apparent effect upon the observed whole-body counts. The decrease in whole-body counts with time was the same for both injected and noninjected mice containing labeled inorganic tin. Labeled tin has a half-life of 118 days and labeled indium, 1.7 hours.

Toxicokinetic parameters:

half-life 1st: 29 days

Any other information on results incl. tables

The injection of unlabeled tin into mice which had been injected with ¹¹³Sn 6 days earlier had no apparent effect upon the observed whole-body counts. The decrease in the whole-body counts with time was the same for both injected and noninjected mice containing labeled inorganic tin.

Twenty-three days for ¹¹³Sn activity based on the average of the observed values for labeled tin and labeled indium. This half-life is the result of the biological and physical decay. Using 118 days for the physical half-life, it is estimated that the biological half-life in the mouse would be 29 days.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The effective half-life of labeled tin in the mouse is estimated to be 23 days, the average of the observed values for labeled tin and labeled indium. This half-life is the result of the biological and physical decay. Using 118 days for the physical half-life, it is estimated that the biological half-life in the mouse would be 29 days.
The injection of unlabeled tin into mice which had been injected with radiolabeled tin 6 days earlier had no apparent effect upon the observed whole-body counts. The decrease in the whole-body counts with time was the same for both injected and noninjected mice containing labeled inorganic tin.

Executive summary:

The injection of the unlabeled tin into two mice which had been injected with 113Sn 6 days earlier had no apparent effect upon the observed wholebody counts. The decrease in the wholebody counts with time was the same for both injected and noninjected mice containing labeled inorganic tin.
