Ethanol is commonly blended with gasoline (10% ethanol) in the US, and higher<br />

ethanol concentrations are being considered. While the pharmacokinetics and toxicity<br />

<strong>of</strong> orally-ingested ethanol are widely reported, comparable work is limited for<br />

inhalation exposure (IE), particularly at concentrations producing blood (BEC)<br />

and brain (BrEC) ethanol concentrations associated with developmental neurotoxicity<br />

(DNT). Multi-route, life-stage PBPK models for adult, pregnant, and neonatal<br />

rats were developed and used to predict inhalation exposure concentrations<br />

yielding BEC and BrEC associated with DNT. Based on model predictions, Long-<br />

Evans rats received multiple 6-hr IE at 5,000 to 20,000ppm to assess the pharmacokinetics<br />

<strong>of</strong> ethanol. Tissues (blood, brain, eyes, liver) were collected for analysis<br />

via headspace gas chromatography to provide quantitative data and support model<br />

calibration. Kinetic time points were specific to each IE and designed to capture<br />

loading, peak, and clearance phases across low and high IE and tissue concentrations,<br />

while remaining comparable to literature data at lower concentrations.<br />

Simulations using the calibrated ethanol model were in good agreement with peak<br />

and post-exposure BEC and BrEC for most datasets, though additional work is<br />

needed to refine estimates <strong>of</strong> metabolism. This work covers a range <strong>of</strong> ethanol tissue<br />

concentrations associated with DNT in rodents, and thus may be useful for risk assessments.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se models will be coupled with a gasoline model to describe bi<strong>of</strong>uel<br />

blends. This abstract does not reflect EPA policy.<br />

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widespread contaminant found in urine <strong>of</strong> over 90% <strong>of</strong><br />

samples from NHANES. <strong>The</strong> pharmacokinetics <strong>of</strong> aglycone BPA and its primary<br />

phase II metabolite, BPA-glucuronide (BPAG) were recently reported by our laboratory<br />

in immature and mature non-human primates and rats (Doerge et al., 2010).<br />

PBPK models are under development to include this new kinetic data for aglycone<br />

BPA in the developing rat and non-human primate. First pass presystemic metabolism<br />

<strong>of</strong> orally ingested BPA (GI tract and hepatic) and enterhepatic recirculation are<br />

included in a six compartment model for BPA. BPA is metabolized by intestinal and<br />

hepatic UDPGT to BPAG. BPAG is metabolized to BPA by bacterial glucuronidase<br />

in the colon. <strong>The</strong> kinetics <strong>of</strong> BPAG are described as a two compartment sub-model.<br />

Physiological model parameters for the maturing rat were retrieved from the literature<br />

and allometric scaling was used for the monkey. <strong>The</strong>se PBPK models will provide<br />

computational tools to compare the internal dosimetry <strong>of</strong> administered BPA in<br />

immature rats, which are commonly used for toxicity studies, with immature nonhuman<br />

primates, a species more similar to humans than rodents.<br />

<strong>The</strong> PK <strong>of</strong> TCDD is relatively well understood in adult humans. TCDD induces its<br />

elimination at high exposures, while at low exposures the PK is highly influenced<br />

by the percent body fat. Our understanding <strong>of</strong> the PK <strong>of</strong> TCDD in pregnant<br />

women is less complete. To better understand the PK <strong>of</strong> TCDD in women a physiologically-based<br />

pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was modified to include a gestational<br />

and lactational compartment and used to evaluate serum concentrations<br />

from a cohort <strong>of</strong> women <strong>of</strong> reproductive age exposed to dioxin in Seveso, Italy. <strong>The</strong><br />

model was structured in such a way as to allow for multiple gestational scenarios<br />

observed in the general population. <strong>The</strong> gestational and lactational compartments<br />

were activated based on the reproductive pr<strong>of</strong>ile scenario. This work compared actual<br />

serum measures <strong>of</strong> TCDD from Seveso women or from the general population<br />

with the prediction developed using the PBPK model. <strong>The</strong> initial modeling results<br />

indicate for the Seveso women, pregnancy and lactation had a small influence on<br />

the PK <strong>of</strong> TCDD, while pregnancy significantly decreased maternal blood concentrations<br />

following birth and lactation. Based on the modeling results, it appears that<br />

at high body burden, hepatic elimination is significantly induced, which masks the<br />

minor elimination from birth and milk. (<strong>The</strong> information in this abstract has been<br />

Currently, limited data and models exist to guide extrapolation <strong>of</strong> withdrawal times<br />

for approved drugs from major to minor animal species. Because PBPK models incorporate<br />

species-specific and chemical-specific parameters, they could be a useful<br />

tool to extrapolate withdrawal times <strong>of</strong> drugs across species and doses. <strong>The</strong> objective<br />

<strong>of</strong> this research was to develop a PBPK model for goats to simulate the pharmacokinetics<br />

<strong>of</strong> tulathromycin, a macrolide antibiotic. <strong>The</strong> model compartments<br />

were plasma, lung, liver, muscle, fat, kidney, and remaining poorly and richly perfused<br />

tissues. Tulathromycin was assumed to be 50% protein bound in the plasma<br />

with first order clearance to represent both fecal and urinary excretion <strong>of</strong> parent<br />

drug. Literature values were compiled for goat physiological parameters, partition<br />

coefficients were estimated from AUC ratios, and the remaining parameters were<br />

estimated by visual comparison with the experimental data. Three separate model<br />

structures were compared with plasma and tissue concentrations <strong>of</strong> tulathromycin<br />

in market age (6 mo) goats administered 2.5 mg/kg tulathromycin subcutaneously.<br />

<strong>The</strong> best simulation was achieved with a diffusion-limited PBPK model and absorption<br />

from a two compartment injection site. <strong>The</strong> model with age-appropriate<br />

physiological parameters was able to simulate plasma concentrations in juvenile (
