Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
n-[1-14C]Butanol was mixed with corn oil and administered by gavage to male Charles River CD (SD) rats in doses of 4.5, 45, or 450 mg/kg bw. The excretion of the n-[1-14C]Butanol was examined.

Results and discussion

Main ADME resultsopen allclose all
Type:
distribution
Results:
highest concentrations: liver 3.88 % at 8 h, blood 0.74 % at 8 h, kidney 0.24 % at 4 h, other tissue < 0.12 %
Type:
excretion
Results:
Elimination of administered dose 450 mg/kg bw: > 44 % within 4 h, 69.3 % at 8 h, 83.3 % at 24 h
Type:
other: remaining radioactivity in carcass
Results:
at 4 h: 42.2 %; at 8 h: 27.2 %; at 24 h: 12.3 %

Metabolite characterisation studies

Metabolites identified:
yes
Details on metabolites:
About 75 % of the radioactivity was detected as 1-butanol, presumably both as an O-sulfate (44.4 %) and as an O-glucuronide (30.7 %). Urea accounted for the remainder of the radioactivity.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
no bioaccumulation potential based on study results
