Results and discussion

Main ADME resultsopen allclose all
Type:
absorption
Results:
There is no direct evidence for absorption of unchanged Brown HT from the gastro-intestinal tract.
Type:
distribution
Results:
Major part of the distribution is in the gastro-intestinal tract, liver and kidneys.
Type:
metabolism
Results:
Naphthionic acid was the major urinary metabolite, whereas in the faeces naphthionic acid, trace quantities of unchanged dye and at least two unidentified metabolites were found.
Type:
metabolism
Results:
Recovery of administered radioactivity (%) in Guinea pig in the low dose (50 mg/kg bw and high dose 250 mg/kg bw was found to be 99.3 and 95.7 respectively. Guinea-pigs excreted a greater proportion of the higher dose in the urine

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In vivo study upon oral administration of the chemical Brown HT [IUPAC name: disodium 4,4'-[[2,4-dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-phenylene]bis(azo)]bisnaphthalene-1-sulphonate] to male guinea pig indicates that the chemical is expected to have low bio-accumulation potential since most of the administered radioactivity was eliminated in the faeces after 72 hours.
Executive summary:

From the available data on absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion in an in vivo study upon oral administration of the chemicalBrown HT [IUPAC name: disodium 4,4'-[[2,4-dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-phenylene]bis(azo)]bisnaphthalene-1-sulphonate] to male guinea pig there are indications that the chemical is expected to have low bio-accumulation potential since most of the administered radioactivity was eliminated in the faeces after 72 hours.
