A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was developed for the monkey, to account for fractional systemic uptake of inhaled methanol vapors in the lung. Fractional uptake of inhaled [C-14]-methanol was estimated using unreported exhaled breath time course measurements of [C-14]-methanol from the D. C. Dorman et al, (1994, Toxicol Appl Pharmacol, 128, 229-238) lung-only exposure study. The cumulative amount of [C-14]-methanol exhaled was linear with respect to exposure duration (0.5 to 2 h) and concentration (10 to 900 ppm). The model estimated that forty to eighty-one percent of the of inhaled [C-14]-methanol delivered to the lung was taken into systemic circulation in female Cynomolgus monkeys exposed for two h to 10-900 ppm of [C-14]methanol. There was no apparent trend between the percent of inhaled [C-14]-methanol absorbed systemically and the [C-14]-methanol exposure concentration. Model simulations were conducted using a single saturable Michaelis-Menten equation with Vmaxc, the metabolic capacity set to 15.54 mg/kg/h and Km, the affinity constant, to 0.66 mg/l. The [C-14]-methanol blood concentrations were variable across [C-14]-methanol exposure groups and the PBPK model tended to over-predict systemic clearance of [C-14]- methanol, Accounting for fractional uptake of inhaled polar solvents is an important consideration for risk assessment of inhaled polar solvents.
