Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Materials and methods

Objective of study:
distribution
Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The test substance was extracted from liver and fat tissue of the abdominal cavity of rats which received different doses of the unlabelled test substance in diet. The concentration was assessed using gas chromatography. The limit of detection was 0.6 and 1.4 ppm (mg/kg) for fatty tissue and liver, respectively.
GLP compliance:
no

Results and discussion

Main ADME results
Type:
distribution
Results:
No cummulation of the test substance in liver and fat tissue.

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on absorption:
The study design was not intended to investigate details on the absorption of the test substance.
Details on distribution in tissues:
No test substance was detected within samples of the liver tissue, while in samples of the fat tissue the test substance was detected occasionally. No correlation was found between the applied dose and the amount of test substance in the samples. No cumulative effect was observed. For details see Table 1 in "Any other information on results"
Details on excretion:
The study design was not intended to investigate details on the excretion of the test substance.

Metabolite characterisation studies

Any other information on results incl. tables

The test relies on non-labelled test material which might impair the sensitivity of the method. However, the detection limit using the employed method is in the range of 0.6-1.4 ppm and can be regarded sufficiently sensitive. Experience with other phenolic compounds shows that the molecules are readily conjugated to glucuronic acid and sulphate. The conjugates are then rapidly excreted via urine. Thus, accumulation in tissues is unlikely because of the intrinsic properties of the parent compound.
