Materials and methods

Type of study / information:
Excretion of FK700 in humans.
Endpoint addressed:
basic toxicokinetics
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Six human volunteers received two doses of FK700 in apple juice. The urine was collected daily and analysed for the monomer SiO2 content (according to Baumann 1960).
GLP compliance:
no

NM-200 was stored at ambient temperature in the dark under N2 atmosphere.
Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Name of test material (as cited in study report): FK700
- Analytical purity: SiO2-content: 86.65%

Method

Ethical approval:
not specified
Details on study design:
Six human volunteers (5 males and 1 female; aged 22-28) received 2 x 1.25 g FK700 each dose in 250 mL apple juice each at day 4 (morning and midday) of an experimental period of 7 days. The urine was collected daily and analysed for the monomer SiO2 content (according to Baumann 1960).
Exposure assessment:
not specified

Results and discussion

Results:
The individual baseline values of the pre-test phase were very variable and individually different, mean excretion rates ranging from 16 to 71 mg/day. In the post-treatment phase, individual mean excretion rates ranged from 20 to 81 mg/day. After ingestion at day 4, the SiO2 excretion was increased in 5 of 6 subjects and ranged between 7 and 23 mg in urine compared to day 3. One of 6 subjects showed a decreased SiO2 excretion (26 mg). Overall, increases in excretion were not unequivocally detectable. The small apparent increases were in marked contrast to the high dose of 2500 mg SiO2 applied.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No significant increased renal excretion of SiO2 after oral uptake resp. no significant oral absorption.
