Details on study design:
- Dose selection rationale:

The dose level for this study has been selected by the Sponsor based on available
data and the results of LPT study 35156.
In this study, 2 male rats were treated once intravenously with 10 mg DINCD/kg
b.w. on test day 1.
None of the two male rats treated intravenously with 10 mg DINCD/kg b.w. died
prematurely during the course of the study. No abnormalities in behaviour, external
appearance, or condition of faeces were observed.

Results and discussion

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Transfer into organs
Observation:
not determined
Details on excretion:
The analysis of the urine samples by a semi-quantitative HPLC-MS/MS method
was the responsibility of the analytical laboratory.
Stagger 1
The analysis of the urine samples was postponed as hardly any test substance or
metabolite levels were detected in the plasma samples.
Stagger 2
Sample analysis was carried out on urine samples taken during a sampling period of
0 to 24 hours p.a.
In 3 of 4 animals, DINCD analyte concentrations were below the detection limit of
20 ng/mL. In one animal (animal no. 15) DINCD was determined in a concentration
of 940 ng/mL urine.
Quantification of the metabolite CHDCA in the urine samples revealed analyte
concentrations above the calibration range (i.e. >4000 ng/mL urine). Further
dilution of the urine samples into the calibration range was not advisable due to the
higher impact of matrix effects on the analytical results.
Toxicokinetic parameters
Key result
Toxicokinetic parameters:
Cmax: The maximum DINCD in plasma concentrations determined 5 minutes post administration (p.a.) ranged from 2727.73 to 4229.63 ng/ml (3380.52 ± 769.95 ng/ml) for animal nos. 9 to 11.

Metabolite characterisation studies

Metabolites identified:
yes
Details on metabolites:
The metabolite CHDCA (cis- 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid) was also detected and quantified in the plasma of all
animals treated once intravenously with 100 mg DINCD/kg b.w. Metabolite plasma
concentrations increased steadily with a peak value determined between 80 and
160 minutes p.a. (80 minutes p.a.: 540.22 ± 416.85 ng/ml; 160 minutes p.a.:
327.54 ±16.41 ng/ml).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The toxikokinetik study of Diisononyl
1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate (DINCD) following
a single intravenous bolus injection to male rats generates qualitative and only orienting results.
In the preliminary test, DINCD was insoluble in 0.9% NaCl (stability and solubility problems).
The suitable solvent for i.v.injection in the main experiment was 5% Tween 80 in 0.9% NaCl.
The results show a metabolism of DINCD to a metabolite (cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid) (Cmax peak between 120 and 240 min).
This hydrolyzation occurs after 5 min (maximum plasma concentration), T1 / 2 <5 min.
In conclusion, the esults are not linear (high fluctuations between the animals and time points), which is why further studies are needed to generate trustworthy data.
Executive summary:

The study was conducted in 2 separate phases (i.e. 2 staggers) based on the

analytical results obtained for the first stagger. Bioanalytical data of the plasma

sample analysis of the first stagger indicated that no test item was quantifiable in

plasma samples. Solubility testing at LPT revealed that the test item was insoluble

in 0.9% NaCI solution used as vehicle. lnsolubility resulted in the formation of two

separate clear phases and only 0.9% NaCI solution was presumably administered.

No formulation analysis was carried out and phase separation could not be

detected visually prior to administration.

Testing of various solvents (data not included in this report) confirmed

5% Tween 80® in 0.9% NaCI solution as the most suitable vehicle for

administration of DINCD with respect to solubility and tolerability in the given

animal model.

An additional stagger (stagger 2) was employed administered with the test item

using Tween 80® in 0.9% NaCI solution as vehicle. Bioanalytical data revealed

high data variability for both DINCD and CHDCA (DINCD metabolite) plasma levels.

The maximum DINCD in plasma concentrations determined 5 minutes post

administration (p.a.) ranged from 2727.73 to 4229.63 ng/ml (3380.52

± 769.95 ng/ml) for animal nos. 9 to 11.

The metabolite CHDCA was also detected and quantified in the plasma of all

animals treated once intravenously with 100 mg DINCD/kg b.w. Metabolite plasma

concentrations increased steadily with a peak value determined between 80 and

160 minutes p.a. (80 minutes p.a.: 540.22 ± 416.85 ng/ml; 160 minutes p.a.:

327.54 ±16.41 ng/ml).

Furthermore, formulation analysis revealed a high variance in sample recovery of

only a 60 to 84% recovery with respect to the test item concentration.

Due to the observed difficulties regarding solubility and stability of the test item

DINCD in various solvents, as well as to generate more reliable data, further

solubility testing are recommended associated with formulation analyses prior to

administration.
