Results and discussion

Main ADME resultsopen allclose all
Type:
absorption
Results:
BEA is expected to be absorbed from GI tract by passive diffusion. A high systemic availability via dermal and inhalation routes is unlikely.
Type:
distribution
Results:
BEA is expected to be predominantly distributed into the intravascular compartment due to its MW of 117.2 g/mol and high water solubility. BEA can also enter the cell inner (LogPow of 0.64). No risk for accumulation is expected for BEA (LogPow is <3.0).
Type:
metabolism
Results:
Hydroxylation and oxidation reactions by Phase I enzymes; conjugation reactions.
Type:
excretion
Results:
BEA is expected to be excreted primarily via the urine due to its MW (117.2 g/mol), vapour pressure (13.94 Pa) and high water solubility (1000 g/L).

Derivatives of hydroxilation and oxidation reactions.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results: no bioaccumulation potential based on study results
No bioaccumulation potential for BEA.
Executive summary:

An assessment of the toxicokinetic behaviour of butylethanolamine was performed, taking into account the chemical structure, the available physico-chemical-data and the available toxicity data. BEA is expected to be absorbed from GI tract by passive diffusion. A high systemic availability via dermal and inhalation routes is unlikely. BEA is expected to be predominantly distributed into the intravascular compartment due to its MW of 117.2 g/mol and high water solubility (1000 g/L). BEA can also enter the cell inner (LogPow of 0.62). No risk for accumulation is expected for BEA (LogPow is < 3.0). Possible reactions: hydroxylation and oxidation by Phase I enzymes with subsequent conjugation reactions. BEA is expected to be excreted primarily via the urine due to it MW (117.2 g/mol), vapour pressure (13.94 Pa) and the high water solubility (1000 g/L).
