Absorption

2-tert-butylaminoethyl methacrylate and the read across substance 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate both would be expected to be rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract; the modelling (Epiwin) information predicts 91.7% and 89.5% respectively. Both would also be assumed to be readily absorbed in the lungs, although this is highly unlikely route of exposure. 2-tert-butylaminoethyl methacrylate would be expected to somewhat more readily absorbed through the skin due to it higher octanol water partition coefficient, in reality both substances are corrosive to skin and would therefore destroy the barrier with prolonged exposure so similar higher than might be predicted absorption would be expected.

 Metabolism

There is no specific information on the metabolism of 2-tert-butylaminoethyl methacrylate, however there is information in the OECD SIDS dossier for the read across substance 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate that is relevant.Small quantities of methacrylates may readily be metabolized by saponification into the alcohol and methacrylic acid. The latter may form an acetyl-CoA derivative, which then enters the normal lipid metabolism [Clayton/Patty, 1993-1994]. The substance (2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) was rapidly hydrolysed to methacrylic acid (MAA) and N,N-dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE) when incubated with simulated saliva or simulated intestinal fluidin vitro. 90 % degradation was observed in simulated saliva after 4 hrs at 37 °C, 86 % degradation after incubation with simulated intestinal fluid for 4 hrs at 37 °C. Degradation was below 8% after incubation with simulated gastric fluid for 4 hours at 37 °C [Atochem, 1994]. However, noin vivostudy is available.

 

Based on the available information on 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate it is expected that the same hydrolysis would take place such that the 2-tert-butylaminoethyl methacrylate would be initially metabolised to methacrylic acid (MAA) and 2-(tert-Butylamino)ethanol CAS No 4620-70-6..Then the MAA may form an acetyl-CoA derivative, which then enters the normal lipid metabolism. No information is available concerning the further metabolism of the 2-(tert-butylamino)ethanol. Information from the water solubility experiment is that 2-tert-butylaminoethyl methacrylate undgoes rapid hydrolysis in water, which supports a similar metabolism to the 2-diemthylaminoethyl methacrylate.

 

Excretion

The urine would be expected to be the main route of excretion of the conjugated waste products from the metabolism of the 2-(tert-butylamino)ethanol. It is possible the nitrogen would be excreted in the form of urea.
