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: The documentation is from secondary literature.

- Endpoint:
- basic toxicokinetics in vivo
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study

- other: The documentation is from secondary literature.
- Justification for type of information:
- The justification for read across is provided as an attachment in IUCLID Section 13.
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across source
- Metabolites identified:
- yes
- Details on metabolites:
- The major urinary metabolites in rats were p-tert-butylbenzoic acid and its alcohol derivative 2-(p-carboxyphenyl)-2-methylpropan-1-ol whereas p-tert-butylbenzoylglycine was the most prominent metabolite in guinea pig urine.
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results: low bioaccumulation potential based on study results
- Executive summary:
This data is being read across from the source study that tested 1-tert-butyl-4-methylbenzene based on analogue read across.
The metabolism of p-tert-butyltoluene (TBT) was studied in the rat and guinea pig. Both the methyl and the tert.-butyl group were oxidized to alcohol and carboxylic acid derivatives in these species. The major urinary metabolites in rats were p-tert-butylbenzoic acid and its alcohol derivative 2-(p-carboxyphenyl)-2-methylpropan-1-ol whereas p-tert-butylbenzoylglycine was the most prominent metabolite in guinea pig urine. No significant differences in metabolism were found when TBT was given intragastrically or by inhalation. The intragastric administration of 14C-TBT to rats showed that the bulk of the excretion of radioactivity occurred within three days. A recovery of 83% was achieved and the ratio of urinary/faecal radioactivity was roughly 3.5:1.
