Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on excretion:
After 72 h 90 and 98 % of the administered dose were recovered mainly in the urine (54 and 66%). See table below for details.

Metabolite characterisation studies

Metabolites identified:
yes
Details on metabolites:
The metabolites identified in this study indicate various metabolizing ways for DDAOs. Urinary metabolites suggest omega-, and beta-oxidation, amine oxide reduction and aliphatic mid-chain hydroxylation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): no bioaccumulation potential based on study results
Under the conditions of the test between 90 and 98 % of the dose administerd orally to rats were excreted within 72 h, mainy by urine. Only a metabolized product of the test substance was observed in urine.
Executive summary:

Male and female rats were exposed to 1 and 100 mg/kg test substance orally by gavage. Within 72 h 90 and 98 % of radioactivity was excreted mainly via urine (54 and 66%). No unmetabolized amine oxide was excreted in urine.
