TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River
- Weight at study initiation: 183-190 g

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

water

Duration and frequency of treatment / exposure:

once

Doses / concentrations

Remarks:

Doses / Concentrations:
10.8 mg/kg bw (1 mL)

No. of animals per sex per dose / concentration:

3

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

The test substance in water is administered by gavage.
For 72 hrs after dosing, the animals are housed in metabolism cages designed for the separation of urine, faeces, and expired CO2. Urine and faeces are collected at 24, 48, and 72 hrs and freezed until they are analyzed. C02 is collected at 8 hr intervals for 72 hrs (3 samples/day/rat). At the end of the 72 hr test period, the rats are sacrificed with ether after which organs and tissues are examined.

Results and discussion

Main ADME results

Type:

absorption

Results:

Oral absorption is low (< 2 %), most of the test substance was recovered in the feces (91.4%), the carcass contained only 1.12% of the test substance.

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on absorption:

When the substance was dosed orally to rats most (91.4%) of the recovered 65Zn was in the faeces. The 0-24 hour faecal collection had 90.4% of this total.
Less than 0.5% of the 65Zn was found in the tissues collected at necropsy, although the bone concentration at 0.388 µg/g and the bone marrow concentration at 0.255 µg/g was around ten times higher than the blood concentration. The concentration of radioactivity in the blood (0.039 µg/g) was higher than that in the plasma (0.012 µg/g) at necropsy, indicating that the removal of radioactivity from the blood cells was not as rapid as from the plasma.
The carcass contained 1.12% of the 65Zn after the tissue removal.
The total Zn recovery was 96.1%.
