Results and discussion

Main ADME results
Type:
excretion
Results:
Excretion of the unchanged parent substance: urine 82% of which 80% was excreted within the first 24 hours; Feces 13% of which the first 11.7% was excreted within the first 24 hours.

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on absorption:
The substance is rapidly absorbed given that almost 85% of the substance was excreted in the urine within 24 hours of dosing.
Details on excretion:
The primary excretory pathway is urinary with 82 to 85% of the dose being elimited via this route.
Toxicokinetic parameters
Key result
Toxicokinetic parameters:
half-life 1st: 75 minutes

Metabolite characterisation studies

Metabolites identified:
no
Details on metabolites:
Chromatographic analysis of excreta indicated that only the unaltered tosylate-35S moeity had been excreted. In none of the three solvent systems employed was the presence of any metabolite detected.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The substance is rapidly absorbed following oral gavage adminstration and then excreted unchanged primarily in the urine.
Executive summary:

In a metabolism study the substance was administered to Sprage Dawley rats (2 animals/sex/dose) by oral gavage at a dose level of 34.8 mg/kg bw (single administration). Urine and feces were collected daily for 4 days. The substance was excreted unchanged primarily in the urine.
