1.C-14-TBBP-A (2,2-bis(4-hydroxy-3,5-dibromophenyl)propane) was administered orally to the conventional and bile-duct cannulated male Sprague-Dawley rat (2.0 mg/kg body weight). Urine, bile and faeces were collected daily for 72 h, and selected tissues were removed for distribution studies.2. Faeces was the major route of elimination of TBBP-A in the conventional rat (91.7 % of dose), and urine was a minor elimination route (0.3 %). Enterohepatic circulation was suggested by biliary excretion of 71.3 % and faecal excretion of 26.7 % of the administered radioactivity in the bile-duct cannulated rat.3. C-14-labelled residues in tissues were 2 % in the conventional rat, and < 1 % in the bile-duct cannulated rat. The large and small intestines contained the majority of the tissue C-14 activity for both groups of rat. Levels of TBBP-A in liver were < 0.1 %, and in fat were below the level of quantification.4. Three metabolites were characterized in 0-24 h bile samples. Glucuronic acid and sulphate ester conjugates were characterized by mass spectrometry. More than 95 % of the extractable faecal C-14 was identified as parent TBBP-A.5. Negligible amounts of TBBP-A-derived C-14 were associated with carrier proteins in the urine and bile.
