Strain:
other: albino mice, Wistar albino rats, Syrian golden hamsters, albino Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs
Sex:
not specified
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Mice, hamsters, guinea pigs and rats were kept in special metabolic cages and given standard diet and water.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
intraperitoneal
Vehicle:
corn oil
Details on exposure:
Mice, hamsters, guinea pigs and rats were kept in special metabolic cages and given standard diet and water. Each one was given a single intra-peritoneal dose (40 µCi/kg, 6.7mg/kg)of 2-ABP dissolved in com oil (0.5ml). Urine was collected continuously for 5 days. All urine samples were clarified bycentrifugation and frozen at -20oC until required for analysis. Aliquots of urine (20µl) were counted for radioactive content.

Type:

Results:
The chemical was absorbed after intra-peritoneal administration as a single dose
Type:

Results:

Type:
metabolism
Results:
Results show that sulphate conjugation is a more effective route of metabolism than glucuronidation at the doses used and in all species used in these studies.
Type:
excretion
Results:
Renal excretion accounts for about 30-40% of the administered dose during the first 24 hours.

Metabolite characterisation studies

Metabolites identified:
yes
Details on metabolites:
Unconjugated metabolites 2-ABP-50H, 2-ABP-30H, and conjugated 2-ABP-50S, 2-ABP-30S, and 2-ABP-50G.
Apart from these major peaks, minor conjugated metabolites were also detected: 2-ABP-NG in all species, 2-ABP-30G in all but hamster, 2-ABP-NS was found in hamster and small amounts in guinea pig urine.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Absorption: The chemical was absorbed afterintra-peritoneal administration as a single dose

Distribution:Details not available

Metabolism:Results show that the highest conversion of 2-ABP to different metabolites was with hamster and mice followed by guinea pig and rat. The major metabolite with all species was 2-ABP 50S. The isomeric 2-ABP-30S together with 2-ABP50G

were the next abundant metabolites. Results show that sulphate conjugation is a more effective route of metabolism than glucuronidation at the doses used and in all species used in these studies.

Excretion:Renal excretion accounts for about 30-40% of the administered dose during the first 24 hours. Results show that there was virtually no

species differences in the amount of total radioactivity eliminated in urine. After 5 days the radioactivity recovery was around 40-50% in all cases.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): low bioaccumulation potential based on study results
In an in vivo study, conducted on 4 rodent species using radio labelled [14C] 2-aminobiphenyl (2-ABP), using intra-peritoneal route of administration, the results of the metabolism and excretion indicate that after metabolism, 40 to 50 % chemical is excreted out of the living system via renal elimination. This suggests that the chemical biphenyl-2-ylamine (Synonym - 2-aminobiphenyl) shall have low bioaccumulation potential. The study also concludes that the chemical is relatively non-toxic given its failure to be converted to N-oxidation products
