Results and discussion
Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies
- Details on excretion:
- A singel oral dose of 28,57 mg thiourea/kg bw in humans was completely eliminated within 48h in urine; a peak concentration was measured within 30 min.
In rats administered 5 mg intravenously, 30% of thiourea was recovered from the carcasses after 3h, and only traces after 25h.
No thiourea was excreted in the stools
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results: no bioaccumulation potential based on study results
Thiourea is rapidly absorbed form the GI tract and completely eliminated in the urine. - Executive summary:
A singel oral dose of 28,57 mg thiourea/kg bw in humans was completely eliminated within 48h in urine; a peak concentration was measured within 30 min. In rats administered 5 mg intravenously, 30% of thiourea was recovered from the carcasses after 3h, and only traces after 25h. No thiourea was excreted in the stools.
