TOXICOKINETIC BEHAVIOUR

The substance is composed, as listed in the Section 1.2 of IUCLID. It is an amber coloured liquid and the molecular weight is 210.21 – 322.42 g/mol. The low vapour pressure value (8.5 x 10-2Pa at 25°C) and predicted negative explosive and oxidising properties shows that the substance is non volatile therefore inhalation is not a significant route of exposure. The substance is considered as flammable.

The substance has a low log octanol/water partition coefficient value (Log10 Pow <0.3- 2.18) and low water solubility (5.95 x 10-3– 13.2 g/l at 20°C).

The available acute dermal irritation/corrosion (OECD 404) and repeated dose reproductive screening studies showed evidence of absorption however the repeated dose reproductive screening study did not show evidence of metabolism or excretion.

The test item was non-mutagenic in bacteria , non-clastogenic in mammalian cells in vitro and non-mutagenic in mammalian (CHO) cells in vitro in either the absence or presence of an auxiliary metabolising system.

Absorption

Although the test item is lipophobic in nature the small molecular size of the substance should allow absorption through passive diffusion. This would suggest that the gastrointestinal tract provides a route of absorption, following oral administration, before entering the circulatory system via the blood.

Limited absorption may also take place via the skin due to small molecular size. The substance is corrosive therefore damage to the skin surface may allow for increased penetration of the substance through the skin.

The low vapour pressure value (8.5 x 10-2Pa at 25°C) shows that the substance is not available as a vapour therefore inhalation is not a significant route of exposure.

Distribution

Once absorbed, the substance may be distributed in plasma due to the water solubility and may therefore be distributed systemically. The lipophobic nature of the test item suggests that bioaccumulation in body fat is unlikely.

Metabolism

The results of the repeated dose/reproductive screening study did not show evidence to indicate any test item influenced hepatic metabolism. The results of the genotoxicity assays have shown that genotoxicity is neither enhanced or diminished in the presence

of the S9 metabolising system.

Excretion

There is no evidence to indicate the route of excretion but water-soluble products are not favourable for biliary excretion and therefore urinary excretion may well be a significant route for this material. Any test item that is not absorbed will be excreted in the faeces.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The available information suggests that absorption of the test substance from the gastrointestinal tract can take place. Some absorption may also take place via the skin. Once absorbed, the substance would be distributed in the serum and urine is the significant route of excretion. There is no evidence to suggest that the test substance may be metabolised, however no studies have been conducted to identify metabolites.
Executive summary:

The available information suggests that the substance is readily available via the oral route; however, absorption via the skin is also possible. This is supported by the physicochemical properties of the substance. Once absorbed, the substance would result in distribution in the serum. There is no evidence to indicate the route of excretion..
