Administrative data

Endpoint:
basic toxicokinetics in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:
4 (not assignable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: No GLP compliance and not a full compliance with guidelines because it only determines the diuretic activity.

Results and discussion

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on excretion:
An increase in the output of urine became apparent about 2 hr after administration of the drug, and the duration of the polyuria depended upon the dose of compound used.

Metabolite characterisation studies

Metabolites identified:
not measured

Any other information on results incl. tables

No more available data on the results.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Ethyleneimine causes a diuresis.
Executive summary:

Certain simple derivatives of ethyleneimine cause an intense and prolonged diuresis in nonhydrated rats. Sodium, potassium and chloride excretion is unaffected by these compounds. Ethyleneimine also causes a diuresis in the rat, but the polyfunctional compound thiotepa is ineffective. The relationship between structure and activity of a number of compounds is discussed with particular reference to the possibility that the diuresis is due to the in vivo liberation of ethyleneimine.
