Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

In an oral study in male F344/DuCrj rats, the animals received diet containing 1.0% test substance for 3 days.

The objective of this study was to identify the chemical structure of the test substance metabilites in urine. Urine from the test substance fed rats was more yellow than urine from control rats, exhibiting a broad UV-spectrum around a peak wavelength of 360 nm; the control urine did not have an absorbance. The yellow component was extracted and analyzed. The optical properties of the yellow component were the same as the N-acetylcysteine conjugate of 1,4 -dichloro-2 -nitrobenzene: 1,4 -DCNB is secreted in urine as an N-acetylcysteine conjugate. LC-MS/MS analyses of this yellow component demonstrated its chemical structure to be the N-acetylcysteine conjugate of the test substance. Nuclear overhauser effect and LC-MS/MS analyses revealed the structural isomer of this test substance metabolite as N-acetyl-S-(5 -chloro-2 -nitrophenyl)-L-cysteine.
