Metabolite characterisation studies

Metabolites identified:
yes
Details on metabolites:
Nitro-p-phenylenediamine appears to be metabolized successively to N4-acetyl-2-nitro-1,4-diaminobenzene, N4-acetyl-1,2,4-triaminobenzene and N1,N4-diacety1-1,2,4-triaminobenzene by regioselective N4-acetylation and subsequent nitro reduction, followed by regioselective N1-acetylation, because rats given N4-acetyl-2-nitro-1 ,4-diaminobenzene or N4-acetyl-1,2,4-triaminobenzene excreted N1,N4-diacety1-1,2,4-triaminobenzene in the urine. Nitro-p-phenylenediamine might be also metabolized through an alternative pathway to N1,N4-diacety1-1,2,4-triaminobenzene via 1,2,4-triaminobenzene formed by direct nitro reduction, because N1,N4-diacety1-1,2,4-triaminobenzene was excreted as a urinary metabolite in rats given 1,2,4-triaminobenzene or its N1- monoacetylated product. Thus, the metabolism of Nitro-p-phenylenediamine appears to proceed through regioselective N-acetylation of the amino groups.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): low bioaccumulation potential based on study resultsNitro-p-phenylenediamine expected to have Low bio-accumulation potential based on study results.
Executive summary:

In a in vivo metabolism study, Sprague-Dawley were treated with Nitro-p-phenylenediamine dissolved in a 2% carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt solution at 100 mg/5 ml/kginjected intraperitoneally. Nitro-p-phenylenediamineappears to be metabolized successively to N4-acetyl-2-nitro-1,4-diaminobenzene, N4-acetyl-1,2,4-triaminobenzene and N1,N4-diacety1-1,2,4-triaminobenzene by regioselective N4-acetylation and subsequent nitro reduction, followed by regioselective N1-acetylation, because rats given N4-acetyl-2-nitro-1 ,4-diaminobenzene or N4-acetyl-1,2,4-triaminobenzene excreted N1,N4-diacety1-1,2,4-triaminobenzene in the urine.Nitro-p-phenylenediaminemight be also metabolized through an alternative pathway to N1,N4-diacety1-1,2,4-triaminobenzene via 1,2,4-triaminobenzene formed by direct nitro reduction, because N1,N4-diacety1-1,2,4-triaminobenzene was excreted as a urinary metabolite in rats given 1,2,4-triaminobenzene or its N1- monoacetylated product. Thus, the metabolism ofNitro-p-phenylenediamineappears to proceed through regioselective N-acetylation of the amino groups. Therefore,Nitro-p-phenylenediamine considered to haveLow bio-accumulation potential based on study results.
