Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

intravenous

Vehicle:

physiological saline

Details on exposure:

Single i.v. injections of 10 or 20 mg/kg at a dosing volume of 2 ml/kg in physiological saline

No. of animals per sex per dose / concentration:

2 at 10 mg/kg
3 at 20 mg/kg

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

A series of in vitro and in vivo studies with a series of methacrylates were used to develop PBPK models that accurately predict the metabolism and fate of these monomers. This study segment was performed in order to validate the model.

Details on dosing and sampling:

Blood samples were taken at defined intervals post-dosing. Not more than 10 % of the total average blood volume were taken.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Non-compartmental analysis of the blood concentration data for MAA at the two doses, gives volumes of distribution of 23 ml (10 mg kg-1) and 35 ml (20 mg kg-1). The clearance of MAA was calculated to be 0.324 L hr-1 SRW-1 at the 10 mg kg-1 dose and 0.25 L hr-1 SRW-1 at the 20 mg kg-1 dose. The change in clearance from the lower dose to the higher dose indicates non-linear saturable metabolism in the rat.

Based on that information, the following kinetic parameters were determined from a simultaneous fit of the in vivo data to a one-compartment model with non-linear elimination (Vss = 0.039 L/SRW; Vmax = 19.8 mg/hrxSRW; Km = 20.3 mg/L; SRW: standard rat weight = 250 g) the half-life of MAA in blood was calculated to 1.7 min.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

In conclusion, from a simultaneous fit of the in vivo data to a one-compartment model with non-linear elimination the half-life of MAA in blood was calculated to 1.7 min.

Executive summary:

The PBPK model data were validated by i.v. administration of MAA in rats and subsequent analysis of blood from the tail vein.

In conclusion, from a simultaneous fit of the in vivo data to a one-compartment model with non-linear elimination, the half-life of MAA in blood was calculated to 1.7 min.
