Results and discussion

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on absorption:

Very little of the dose was absorbed in any of the studies.

Details on distribution in tissues:

What little was absorbed was found in the liver, fat, lymph nodes, kidney, and spleen.

Details on excretion:

The majority of the test compound was excreted into the faeces without being absorbed (>92%). Urinary excretion was low (<1%). Very little of the dose was recovered in the bile (0.01%).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results: no bioaccumulation potential based on study results
Very little of orally administered 1-dodecene, dimer with 1-decene was absorbed after either a single or multiple dose. The majority of the administered dose was recovered in the faeces (70.03%) and GI tract (24.76%) at sacrifice (48 hours post-dosing).  Very little of the dose (mean 0.01%) was recovered in the bile. 

Executive summary:

This study report describes the experimental procedures and results of 4 studies designed to assess the toxicokinetic profile of ³H-1 -dodecene, trimer in male rats. In each study, three rats were used per dose for each time point and endpoint measured.

Experiment 1. Male Fischer rats were administered a single oral dose of dec-1 -ene, homopolymer, hydrogenated at doses of 30, 210, or 1500 mg/rat.

Experiment 2. Male Fisher rats were administered a single intravenous dose of dec-1 -ene, homopolymer, hydrogenated (30 mg/rat).

Experiment 3. Male Fischer rats were administered dec-1 -ene, homopolymer, hydrogenated (210 mg/rat/day) for 14 days followed by a single dose of dec-1 -ene, homopolymer, hydrogenated

 Experiment 4. Three rats had bile duct-canulation surgery prior to oral administration of dec-1 -ene, homopolymer, hydrogenated (210 mg/rat).

 

1. Very little of the administered dose was absorbed following single oral administrations of 30, 210, or 1500 mg/rat dec-1 -ene, homopolymer, hydrogenated. Maximum plasma radioactivity was measured at 8, 4, and 72 hours, respectively, with mean concentrations of 0.893, 2.243 and 6.720 µg equivalents/ml. Terminal rate constants of 81 and 93 hours could only be estimated for the 210 and 1500 mg/rat doses. The majority of the dose remained in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and was excreted in the faeces by 168 hours with ≥ 92% of the dose recovered. Excretion was rapid with nearly all radioactivity collected by 48 hours for animals dosed with 30 or 210 mg dec-1 -ene, homopolymer, hydrogenated.  Excretion of the 1500 mg/rat dose took longer with radioactivity still collected at 168 hours. Urinary excretion were low (<1%). Although the majority of the dose was found in the gastrointestinal tract, radioactivity was also found in the liver, lymph nodes, fat, kidneys, and spleen.  Rats administered 210 or 1500 mg/rat dec-1 -ene, dimer, hydrogenated had oily fur shortly after dosing (this was also noted by increasing amounts of radioactivity in the fur).  While the oil was gone by morning in the 210 mg/rat group, it took 48-72 hours to decline after exposure to 1500 mg/rat. 

 

2. No pharmacokinetic analysis of plasma radioactivity was possible because the measured plasma radioactivity in 2 of the 3 rats did not exceed the limits of quantification 4 hours post-dosing. 

 

3. Mean overall recovery of radioactivity following repeated exposure to dec-1 -ene, homopolymer, hydrogenated was 94.88% (almost exclusively in the faeces) at 168 hours following the final dose of dec-1 -ene, homopolymer, hydrogenated. The pattern of excretion of radioactivity at the 210 mg/rat level was almost identical to the single dose excretion study (Experiment 1).

 

4. Following oral administration of a single dose of dec-1 -ene, homopolymer, hydrogenated (210 mg/rat) after bile duct-cannulation, the majority of the administered dose was recovered in the faeces (70.03%) and GI tract (24.76%) at sacrifice (48 hours post-dosing).  Very little of the dose (mean 0.01%) was recovered in the bile. The fraction of dec-1 -ene, dimer, hydrogenated absorbed from the GI tract was < 1%. The bile duct–cannulated rats ate and drank less than the other rats. 

This study received a Klimisch score of 1 and is classified as reliable without restrictions because it generally followed OECD guideline 417 and was GLP compliant.
