Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EPA OTS 795.2280 (Oral/Dermal Pharmacokinetics)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Radiolabeled 14C-Tributyl phosphate was administered to Yucatan minipigs by intravenous and dermal dose routes in order to investigate its absorption, distribution, and excretion in this species. Measurements of radioactivity were made in samples of feces, urine, bladder and kidney following intravenous and dermal application.

Results and discussion

Percutaneous absorption
Remarks on result:
other: 14C-TBP is poorly absorbed across the skin of Yucatan Minipigs, is rapidly eliminated via the urine, and does not appear to bioaccumulate in the bladder or kidneys.
Conversion factor human vs. animal skin:
no data

Any other information on results incl. tables

Measurements of radioactivity were made in samples of feces, urine, bladder and kidney following intravenous and dermal application. Radioactive material was recovered at more than 80% for all dose groups except the low dose dermal groups where about 60% was recovered. 14C-TBP was rapidely eliminated via the urine and within the first 6 hr of intravenous exposure. The dermal doses were very poorly absorbed (maximum amount absorbed was about 5% of dose) and it was again eliminated mostly via the urine. There were no apparent sex differences in this study.
