TEST DIGESTIVE SIMULANTS
INTESTINAL FLUID SIMULANT
- Description: The intestinal fluid simulant contains pancreatin from porcine pancreas as hydrolytic catalyst.
- Preparation: reported to have been done according to the guideline.
- Source of Pancreatin: Porcine pancreatin extract, activity equivalent to 8x SUP specification

SALIVA SIMULANT
- Description: carbonate buffer with a pH value of 9
- Preparation: reported to have been done according to the guideline.

GASTRIC JUICE SIMULANT
- Description: For more convenience, 0.1 M HCl were used for screening. As no hydrolysis with 0.1 M HCl was observed , it was considered not necessary to test 0.07 M HCl.
- Preparation: reported to have been done according to the guideline.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
other: mixing
Vehicle:
ethanol
Details on exposure:
- Preparation of sample solution
1. 200 mg of test material was weight to a 20 mL measuring flask.
2. The measuring flask was filled to the mark with ethanol.

- In vitro hydrolysis of sample solution
1. 100 µL of the sample solution was transferred to a 100 mL erlenmeyer flask.
2. The digestive fluid hydrolysis was carried out according to the guideline (see Duration and frequency of treatment / exposure).

Duration and frequency of treatment / exposure:
Intestinal fluid simulant: 1, 2 and 4 h
Saliva simulant: 0.5 h
Gastric juice simulant: 1, 2 and 4 h
Doses / concentrations
Remarks:
Doses / Concentrations:
10 mg/mL
No. of animals per sex per dose / concentration:
single determination
Control animals:
other: for GC: blank samples from test digestive simulants and samples of reference materials (parent substance and hydrolysis products)
Details on dosing and sampling:
DETERMINATION OF HYDROLYSIS PRODUCTS

- Calibration of the analytical method
It was checked, whether GC suited to determine the ester nC7/TMP (for 0 to 95% hydrolysis) and its hydrolysis products:
acid nC7 and TMP alcohol. Therefore a mix of acid nC7 and TMP alcohol and ester nC7/TMP in heptane was prepared to determine the retention time of each product. in addition a “blank” test using water as fluid simulant was performed in order to check that the ester amount is sufficient to be
measured by GC.

- sample preparation
At the end of hydrolysis test, products (ester, acid, alcohol) were extracted by adding:
- 1 mL of heptane in the 100 mL bottle for saliva and gastric-juice simulants
- 100 mL of heptane in a 250 mL bottle where the 100 mL of intestinal-fluid simulant test were also poured.
The bottle was shaken vigorously, and then the content was allowed to settle. The heptane fraction was recovered.
For saliva and gastric-juice simulants, this fraction was directly injected into the GC; for intestinal-fluid simulant, the
100 mL heptane were first concentrated to around 1 mL, with a rotary evaporator, and then injected into the GC.
It was also checked that no ester, acid or alcohol was remaining in water fraction after the heptane extraction.
