Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

corn oil

Details on exposure:

PREPARATION OF DOSING SOLUTIONS:

Dosing solution was prepared on the day of administration. For administration at the target dose level of 2000 mg/kg, an aliquot of 300 mg of the radiolabelled test item, an aliquot of 2700 mg of the non-labelled test item and 12 mL corn oil were mixed to give a target concentration of 2000 mg/kg/10 mL. The exact amount of radioactivity in the application solution was determined by Liquid Scintillation Counting (LSC) resulting in 21.5 MBq, equivalent to 308 mg of undiluted 14C-Silan 449029 VP. The total amount of diluted 14C-Silan 449029 VP was 3008 mg, resulting in a new specific activity of 0.0072 MBq/mg. The concentration of Silan 449029 VP (= Silan 449029 VP & 14C-Silan 449029 VP) in the formulation was 200.5 mg/mL.

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on absorption:

After an oral dose of 2000 mg/kg, test substance was rapidly absorbed and distributed in blood, plasma and all organs investigated. Peak concentrations were found at t = 1 h in blood, plasma, femur, liver and kidney.

Cmax in blood, plasma, femur, liver and kidney of male mice were 70.0 ± 11.2 µgeq/g, 72.7 ± 12.9 µgeq/g, 49.2 ± 12.7 µgeq/g, 179.2 ± 40.1 µgeq/g, and 481.3 ± 340.4 µgeq/g. The corresponding values in female mice were 74.6 ± 12.3 µgeq/g, 78.2 ± 11.9 µgeq/g, 177 ± 36.3 µgeq/g and 332.8 ± 98.7 µgeq/g

Peak concentrations in stomach, small intestine, large intestine, combined GI tract contents were found at t = 1 h or t = 4 h.

Cmax in stomach, small intestine, large intestine and combined GI tract contents were 12986.0 ± 7940.9 µgeq/g, 4543.4 ± 1710.2 µgeq/g, 1524.0 ± 1311.7 µgeq/g and 30171.4 ± 4649.0 µgeq/g. The corresponding values in female mice were 9183.3 ± 3435.5 µgeq/g, 2867.6 ± 503.0 µgeq/g, 3170.4 ± 1792.8 µgeq/g and 28315.7 ± 1552.2 µgeq/g.

Mean plasma concentrations declined during the 24 h observation period to approximately 6.8% of the peak value in male mice and to 6.0% of the peak value in female mice. A comparable effect was seen in all tissues analysed.

Oral bioavailability was approximately 28%.

Details on excretion:

After 24 hours 24.9% and 17.4% of applied dose was detected in the urine in males and females respectively. During the same period at total of 63.8% and 64.2% of the applied dose was excreted via the faeces in males and females respectively.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results: low bioaccumulation potential based on study results
After a nominal oral dose of 2000 mg/kg test substance VP to male and female mice, blood, plasma and femur were exposed to test item and/or its metabolites.
