Abstract:
:The pharmacokinetics of styrene were investigated in male Sprague-Dawley rats and male B6C3F1 mice using the closed chamber technique. Animals were exposed to styrene vapors of initial concentrations ranging from 550 to 5000 ppm, or received intraperitoneal (i.p.) doses of styrene from 20 to 340 mg/kg or oral (p.o.) doses of styrene in olive oil from 100 to 350 mg/kg. Concentration-time courses of styrene in the chamber atmosphere were monitored and analyzed by a pharmacokinetic two-compartment model. In both species, the rate of metabolism of inhaled styrene was concentration dependent. At steady state it increased linearly with exposure concentration up to about 300 ppm; more than 95% of inhaled styrene was metabolized and only small amounts were exhaled unchanged. At these low concentrations transport to the metabolizing enzymes and not their metabolic capacity was the rate limiting step for metabolism. Pharmacokinetic behaviour of styrene was strongly influenced by physiological parameters such as blood flow and especially the alveolar ventilation rate. At exposure concentrations of styrene above 300 ppm the rate of metabolism at steady state was progressively limited by biochemical parameters of the metabolizing enzymes. Saturation of metabolism (Vmax) was reached at atmospheric concentrations of about 700 ppm in rats and 800 ppm in mice, Vmax being 224 mumol/(h.kg) and 625 mumol/(h.kg), respectively. The atmospheric concentrations at Vmax/2 were 190 ppm in rats and 270 ppm in mice. Styrene accumulates preferentially in the fatty tissue as can be deduced from its partition coefficients in olive oil:air and water:air which have been determined in vitro at 37 degrees C to be 5600 and 15. In rats and mice exposed to styrene vapors below 300 ppm, there was little accumulation since the uptake was rate limiting. The bioaccumulation factor body:air at steady state (K'st*) was rather low in comparison to the thermodynamic partition coefficient body:air (Keq) which was determined to be 420. K'st* increased from 2.7 at 10 ppm to 13 at 310 ppm in the rat and from 5.9 at 20 ppm to 13 at 310 ppm in the mouse. Above 300 ppm, K'st* increased considerably with increasing concentration since metabolism became saturated in both species. At levels above 2000 ppm K'st* reached its maximum of 420 being equivalent to Keq. Pretreatment with diethyldithiocarbamate, administered intraperitoneally (200 mg/kg in rats, 400 mg/kg in mice) 15 min prior to exposure of styrene vapours, resulted in effective inhibition of styrene metabolism, indicating that most of the styrene is metabolized by cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenases.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
