Total recovery in bile and urine 91-93% of the administered dose.

Metabolite characterisation studies

Metabolites identified:
yes
Details on metabolites:
Between 65-71% and 17-21% of the applied dose were excreted as glucuronide and sulfate conjugates, respectively.
(At 8, 15, 28 and 69 μmol/kg the excretion of Glucuronide was 68 ±7%, 65 ± 4%, 71 ± 3% and 67 ± 3%, respectively.
At 8, 15, 28 and 69 μmol/kg the excretion of Sulphate was 21 ±8%, 29 ± 4%, 17 ± 3%, and 29 ± 4%, respectively).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Para-tert-ButylPhenol is rapidly metabolised and excreted as conjugates in urine. Radiolabelled P-t-ButylPhenol was given intravenously to Wistar rats (single dose 1.2-10.4 mg/kg bw) and bile and urine were collected for four hours.

Total recovery was 91-93% of which 65-71% was excreted as glucuronide conjugate, 17-21 % as sulphate conjugate.
