Administration / exposure

Details on study design:
The following investigations were performed:
- Purity control with GC/FID of the C12, 13-branched alcohols and of the Propanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-, C12-13-branched alkyl esters,
- Hydrolysis in gastric fluid simulants with GC/MS of the Propanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-, C12-13-branched alkyl esters after 0, 1, 2 and 4 hours at 37 °C.
- Hydrolysis in digestive fluid simulants with GC/MS of the Propanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-, C12-13-branched alkyl esters after 0, 1, 2 and 4 hours at 37 °C.

Gastric-juice simulant:
Dilute 0.1 M hydrochloric acid standard solution to a concentration of 0.07 M. The pH of the solution should be 1.2+- 0.1.

Intestinal-fluid simulant:
Dissolve 6.8 g of potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (KH2PO4) in 250 ml of water, transfer to a 1 L volumetric flask and add 190 ml of 0.2 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Add 400 ml of water and shake briefly to mix. Weight 10.0 g of pancreatin extract into a 250 ml beaker. Add a little water, and stir to make a stiff, homogenous paste. Gradually dilute the paste with small portions of water, stirring well after each dilution, to give approximately 150 ml of a lump-free solution. Transfer the solution to the volumetric flask, rinsing the beaker and funnel with water. Add 0.5 g of sodium taurochlorate, gently shake the flask and make the volume up to the neck of the flask. Adjust the pH of the solution to 7.5 +- 0.1 with 0.2 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Make the volume up to the mark with water and shake thoroughly to mix.


Results and discussion

Main ADME resultsopen allclose all
Type:
other: ester hydrolysis in gastric juice simulant
Results:
decrease of Propanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-, C12-13-branched alkyl esters of about 11 to 23% within 1 hour, and about 36 to 66 % within 4 hours in the gastric medium for (di)lactate esters
Type:
other: ester hydrolysis in intestinal fluid simulant
Results:
decrease of Propanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-, C12-13-branched alkyl esters of about 75 % to ≥ 95 % within 1 hour, and about 80 % to ≥ 95 % within 4 hours for (di)lactate esters

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The overall results show a decrease of the Propanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-, C12-13-branched alkyl esters of about 11 to 23% within 1 hour, and about 36 to 66 % within 4 hours in the gastric medium for (di)lactate esters.

In the pancreatic digestion was seen a decrease of the Propanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-, C12-13-branched alkyl esters of about 75 % to ≥ 95 % within 1 hour, and about 80 % to ≥ 95 % within 4 hours for (di)lactate esters.

The mass balance of this reaction displays good congruence of expected and measured values for the lactate esters.
