Materials and methods

Objective of study:
absorption
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The 14C-labelled test substance was applied to the back of 4 rabbits. Radioactivity at the application site, in urine, faeces, exhaled carbon dioxide, other skin and cage wash was determined over a 72 hour period.

Results and discussion

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on absorption:
Most of the radioactivity remained at the site of application (88 ± 2.3%).
Details on distribution in tissues:
Only traces of radioactivity were detected at other skin sites (0.2%).
Details on excretion:
Only traces of administered radioactivity were detected over a 72 h-period in urine (0.15 %), faeces (0.16 %), exhaled carbon dioxide (0.27 %) and cage wash (0.3%).
