Materials and methods

Objective of study:
absorption
distribution
excretion
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Wistar rats were dosed by gavage with 14C-labelled propan-1-ol. Urine, faeces and expired CO2 were collected and examined. Further more radioactivity in the blood and tissue distribution were determined.

Details on dosing and sampling:

Determination of radioactivity in blood of rats dosed with 14C-labelled propan-l-o l:
Rats were dosed with 14C-labelled compounds (1.6-9.1 µCi/rat); 2.9 mmol/kg body wt for propan-l-ol. Blood samples (1 ml) were taken from the tail vein at intervals after the dose, (5, 15, 30, 60, 120, 240, 360, 480, 1140 min), not more than 3 samples being taken from any 1 rat. The blood samples were diluted to 25 ml with water and triplicate aliquots ( 1 ml) were pipetted into counting vials. Soluene was added to digest the protein. The radioactivity was counted using a Philips Automatic Liquid Scintillation Analyser
 
Determination of Urinary metabolites:
Urine and faeces were collected after each 24 h; expired 14CO2 trapped in 2 M-KOH. The radioactivity of samples Control samples of urine, faecal extract and diluted 2 M-KOH were also counted. Time-course curves for the excretion of 14CO2 were plotted and used to calculate the velocity constants for the elimination of the dose and for the excretion of 14CO2 as described by Bray et al 1950 and 1951 
 
Distribution of radioactivity in rat tissues:
The amount of radioactivity given to each rat was 8.8-9.6 µCi. At 2 h or 6 h after dosing blood samples (1 ml) were taken and then the rats were killed For each compound 4 rats were dosed, 2 being killed at 2 h and 2 at 6 h after the doses were administered. The livers, hearts, kidneys and brains were removed and weighed. The level of radioactivity of duplicate weighed samples (approx . 300 mg) was measured by combustion and measurement of the 14CO2 produced using the Harvey Biological Material Oxidiser (ICN Tracerlab Ltd., Hersham,). In control, determinations combustion of weighed amounts of [14C] mannitol (Radiochemical Centre, Amersham, Bucks,) of known specific activity gave a recovery of 96-101%.

Results and discussion

Main ADME resultsopen allclose all
Type:
absorption
Results:
Propanol concentrations in blood peaked one hour after administration.
Type:
distribution
Results:
Six hours after oral dosing following distribution of radioactivity in tissues of rats (μmol of the dose/g tissue) was found: blood (0.4), brain (0.2), heart (0.3), kidney (0.7), liver (1.3).
Type:
excretion
Results:
Total recovery rate 72 hours after dosage was about 80% , with about 74% of the radioactivity being eliminated in expired air, 5% via the urine and 0.4% in faeces
