Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on absorption:

Approximately 34% of the activity of the test material was excreted in the urine over a period of 4 h after application, demonstrating rapid absorption and excretion. Some 42% of the activity was excreted during 24 h. The remainder of the activity could be accounted for approximately by estimating the total amount of activity in the blood, muscles, bone and other tissues of the body, such an estimate indicating that very little, if any, of the compound was oxidized to form CO2.

Details on distribution in tissues:

See Table 1 under "Any other information on results incl. tables".

Details on excretion:

The data demonstrated the rapid excretion of 14C from the body and suggested that little of the compound is metabolized and/or held within the tissues.
