Results and discussion

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on excretion:
85% of the radioactivity was excreted in the first-day'urine. No unchanged THT was detected either in the urine and in the exhaled air

Metabolite characterisation studies

Metabolites identified:
yes
Details on metabolites:
3-hydroxytetrahydrothiophene-1,1-dioxide

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): no bioaccumulation potential based on study results
Executive summary:

Tetrahydrothiophene (THT) involves extensive oxidation. Tetrahydrothiophene-1,1-dioxide is formed from the sulfide, and this is then further metabolized to 3-hydroxytetrahydrothiophene-1,1-dioxide. Up to 85% of the administered dose is excreted in the urine within 24 hours.
