Study Initiated/Completed: March 16, 2010 / (see report cover page) Experimental Start/Termination: March 23, 2010 / July 1, 2010 In-Life Initiated/Completed: March 23, 2010 / March 30, 2010 Notebook Number(s): E-114321-AH, E-98524-GF, E-114321-AL - 8 - CH-FW-DEQ-0009516 H-28548: Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Elimination in the Rat DuPont-18405-1017 SUMMARY The absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination of H-28548 were investigated in the Sprague-Dawley rat. H-28548 was administered in water to 5 male and 5 female rats as a single oral dose at a target dose level of 30 mg H-28548/kg bodyweight (bw) and a dose volume of 4 mL/kg bw. Rats were housed individually in glass metabolism units and urine and feces were collected on dry ice predose and postdose at 0-6 hours, 6-12 hours, 12-24 hours, and every 24 hours until 168 hours post-dose. At 168 hours post-dose, rats were asphyxiated by exposure to carbon dioxide and then sacrificed by exsanguination. H-28548 was quantitated in urine, feces, and cagewash by liquid chromatograpy tamdem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). Urine samples were further evaluted by LC/MS to confirm the identity of the parent analyte and determine if H-28548 was eliminated metabolized or unmetabolized. Following oral administration of H-28548 in water, 96.6% ± 1.43% and 94.6% ± 8.57% of the administered dose was accounted for in urine (0-12 hours) from male and female rats, respectively. At the conclusion of the study (168 hours post-dose), the total accumulated amount of H-28548 detected in urine was 103% ± 2.73% and 99.8% ± 6.41% of the administered dose for male and female rats, respectively. Elimination of H-28548 via urine was rapid and accounted for a majority of the administered dose for both male and female rats; negligible levels of H-28548 detected in feces from male (1.35% ± 1.05%) and female rats (0.85% ± 0.58%), were likely contamination from urine. Cagewash, which is composed of dried excreta (urine and feces), accounted for 0.98% ± 0.52% and 5.03% ± 5.14% of the administered dose for male and female rats, respectively. Following oral dosing with H-28548 in water and a 168 hour post-dose collection period, 105.3% ± 2.19% and 105.7% ± 1.42% of the administered dose was recovered from male and female rats, respectively. Samples of urine evaluated using LC/MS were found to contain only the parent substance, H-28548. This finding, taken with the complete recovery of the administered dose in urine, confirms that H-28548 was rapidly absorbed and eliminated unmetabolized following oral dosing in the rat. - 9 - CH-FW-DEQ-0009517 H-28548: Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Elimination in the Rat DuPont-18405-1017 INTRODUCTION The data from this study provides basic information on the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) of H-28548 following oral dosing in the rat. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine the ADME of H-28548 in the rat following a single oral dose of H-28548 in water. Use of a non-radiolabeled test substance for determining a material balance and metabolite identification is justified based on results from an in vitro metabolism experiment with rat hepatocytes and rat oral and rat and monkey intravenous dose kinetic studies, which suggests that H-28548 is not metabolized and is eliminated rapidly.(1,2,3,4) ANIMAL WELFARE ACT COMPLIANCE This study complied with all applicable sections of the Final Rules of the Animal Welfare Act regulations (9 CFR) and the Guidelines from the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (NRC 1996). All studies conducted by or for DuPont Haskell adhere to the following principles: • The sponsor and/or the study director ensures that the study described in this report does not unnecessarily duplicate previous experiments, and is in compliance with the DuPont Policy on Animal Testing. • Whenever possible, procedures used in this study have been designed to implement a reduction, replacement, and/or refinement in the use of animals in an effort to avoid or minimize discomfort, distress or pain to animals. • DuPont Haskell policy is that animals experiencing severe pain or distress that cannot be relieved are painlessly euthanized, as deemed appropriate by the veterinary staff and study director or appropriate designee. • Methods of euthanasia used during this study were in conformance with the above referenced regulation and the recommendations of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), 2007 Guidelines on Euthanasia. • DuPont Haskell is accredited by the Association for the Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC) International. MATERIALS AND METHODS A. Test Guidelines The study design complied with the following test guideline: - 10 - CH-FW-DEQ-0009518 H-28548: Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Elimination in the Rat DuPont-18405-1017 • U.S. EPA, OPPTS 870.7485. Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics, Health Effects Test Guidelines (1998) B. Test Substance The test substance (CAS registry number 62037-80-3) was supplied by the sponsor and assigned Haskell number 28548. C. Test System Male and female Crl:CD(SD) rats were obtained from Charles River Laboratories, Inc. (Raleigh, North Carolina, U.S.A.). The Sprague-Dawley rat was chosen for this study because of the extensive experience with this strain and its suitability with respect to longevity, sensitivity, and low incidence of spontaneous diseases. Furthermore, the Sprague-Dawley rat has been used previously for toxicokinetic and toxicity testing of this chemical. Each animal was assigned a unique identification number to be used throughout the study. The last 3 digits of the animal identification number were marked on the tail of each animal in indelible ink. D. Animal Husbandry 1. Housing During the pretest period, animals were housed individually in solid bottom caging with bedding. Animals were moved to metabolism units for the in-life phase of the study. 2. Environmental Conditions Animal rooms were maintained at a temperature of 18-26ºC (64-79ºF) and a relative humidity of 30-70%. Animal rooms were artificially illuminated (fluorescent light) on an approximate 12 hour light/dark cycle. 3. Feed and Water All animals were provided tap water ad libitum and fed PMI® Nutrition International, LLC Certified Rodent LabDiet® 5002 ad libitum. When housed in metabolism units, feed was supplied as ground chow. 4. Animal Health and Environmental Monitoring Program As specified in the DuPont Haskell animal health and environmental monitoring program, the following procedures are performed periodically to ensure that contaminant levels are below those that would be expected to impact the scientific integrity of the study: • Water samples are analyzed for total bacterial counts, and the presence of coliforms, lead, and other contaminants. - 11 - CH-FW-DEQ-0009519 H-28548: Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Elimination in the Rat DuPont-18405-1017 • Samples from freshly washed cages and cage racks are analyzed to ensure adequate sanitation by the cagewashers. Certified animal feed is used, guaranteed by the manufacturer to meet specified nutritional requirements and not to exceed stated maximum concentrations of key contaminants, including specified heavy metals, aflatoxin, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and organophosphates. The presence of these contaminants below the maximum concentration stated by the manufacturer would not be expected to impact the integrity of the study. The animal health and environmental monitoring program is administered by the attending laboratory animal veterinarian. Evaluation of these data did not indicate any conditions that affected the validity of the study. E. Pretest Period Upon arrival at DuPont Haskell, all rats were housed in quarantine. The rats were: • quarantined for at least 6 days. • identified temporarily by cage identification. • weighed at least 3 times during quarantine and once prior to dosing. • observed with respect to weight gain and any gross signs of disease or injury. The animals were released from quarantine by the laboratory animal veterinarian or designee based on body weights and clinical signs. F. Assignment to Groups Animals were selected for use on study based on adequate body weight gain and freedom from any clinical signs of disease or injury. The weight variation of selected animals by sex was less than 4% of the mean weight. Each animal was assigned an animal number and a cage identification number. The animal number and cage identification number were both included on the cage label. At study start, the animals were at least 8 weeks old. G. Dose Preparation, Analysis, and Rates The test substance was prepared for administration by oral gavage. This route was chosen because it is most commonly used for toxicity studies with H-28548. H-28548 was weighed into a vial (approximately 178.5 mg) and mixed with deionized water (20 mL). The dose solution was prepared at a nominal concentration of 7.5 mg H-28548/mL (adjusted for purity, 84%), with a target dose level of 30 mg/kg body weight (bw) and a dose volume of 4 mL/kg bw. The dose level was chosen based on the results of the 28-day daily oral - 12 - CH-FW-DEQ-0009520 H-28548: Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Elimination in the Rat DuPont-18405-1017 dosing study in rats, where the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) was 30 and 300 mg/kg/day for males and females, respectively.(5) The dosing solution was prepared prior to the day of use and was stored refrigerated at 1-10°C prior to dosing. H. In-Life Phase 1. Material Balance and Tissue Distribution The conduct of this study was designed to comply with the Tier 1 requirements of U.S. EPA, OPPTS 870.7485 - Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics, Health Effects Test Guidelines (1998). Rats were housed individually in glass metabolism units and fasted for approximately 16 hours prior to dosing. Food was returned approximately 2 hours post-dose. Five male and 5 female rats were administered H-28548 at a nominal target of 30 mg H-28548/kg bw. Two male and 2 female rats were each administered dose vehicle (deionized water at 4 mL/kg bw) for collection of control excreta and tissue samples. Rats were returned to individual metabolism units following dosing. Urine and feces were collected on dry ice predose and at 0-6 h, 6-12 h, 12-24 h, and every 24 hours until 168 hours post dose. Evidence supporting a lack of metabolism of H-28548 in rat hepatocytes and rat oral dose administration studies, precluded the necessity for a radiolabeled form of H-28548 and collection of expired air. At the end of the experiment (168 hours post dose), rats were killed by CO2 asphyxiation followed by exsanguination. The following tissues (Tier 1) were collected: liver fat G.I. tract (and contents) kidney spleen whole blood residual carcass After collection, these samples were stored at approximately -10C. Over the course of the experiment, residual feed was collected into a single container and stored refrigerated at 1-10°C. Cages were rinsed with deionized water, which was collected into a single container. Cage wash was stored at room temperature and/or refrigerated at 1-10°C. - 13 - CH-FW-DEQ-0009521 H-28548: Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Elimination in the Rat DuPont-18405-1017 I. Quantitation of H-28548 1. Sample Receipt The dose solution, urine, feces, and cage wash samples were received and stored at approximately -20C by the analytical laboratory upon receipt and when not in use. 2. Sample Preparation Procedure (dose solution and urine samples) The frozen samples were thawed to room temperature and mixed briefly before sampling. A pipette was used to transfer 25 µL of sample into an empty HPLC vial, and the sample weight was recorded to the nearest 0.0001 gram. The pipette was then used to add 975 µL of HPLC grade water, and mixed. The initial sample preparation dilution factor = 1/sample weight (g). Additional sample dilutions were performed with HPLC grade water to ensure that the sample peak area results were within the calibration curve limits. Quality control fortification samples were also prepared at low, mid and high levels in control urine, and prepared for analysis using the same procedure. 3. Sample Preparation Procedure (cage wash samples) The frozen cage wash samples were thawed to room temperature and mixed briefly before sampling. A pipette was used to transfer 200 µL of sample into an empty HPLC vial, and the sample weight was recorded to the nearest 0.0001 gram. The pipette was then used to add 800 µL of HPLC grade water, and mixed. The initial sample preparation factor = 1/sample weight (g). 4. Sample Preparation Procedure (feces samples) The frozen feces samples submitted in 50-mL conical polypropylene centrifuge tubes were thawed to room temperature. HPLC grade water was added to the 40-mL mark, and the weight of water added was recorded to the nearest 0.1 gram. Five ball bearings (5/32” diameter) were added to the sample tubes and sealed. The samples were homogenized using a Genogrinder for 5 minutes at 1400 strokes/minute (SPEX CertiPrep Genogrinder 2000, Metuchen, New Jersey U.S.A.). After homogenization, the samples were placed in a refrigerator for overnight extraction. After overnight extraction the samples were shaken to mix and centrifuged for 10 minutes at 4150 rpm at 20ºC. Approximately 1.5 mL of supernatant was added to a 1.7 mL microcentrifuge tube and further centrifuged for 15 minutes at 14,000 rpm and 20 ºC. A syringe filter (PALL Acrodisc - 25 mm with 0.2 µm Nylon Membrane) was then used to filter approximately 1 mL supernatant into a HPLC vial for analysis. The preparation factor = (H2O weight (g) + feces weight (g)) / feces weight (g). Additional sample dilutions were performed with HPLC grade water to ensure that the sample peak area results were within the calibration curve limits. Quality control fortification samples were also prepared at low, mid and high levels using 2 grams of control feces, and prepared for analysis using the same procedure. - 14 - CH-FW-DEQ-0009522 H-28548: Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Elimination in the Rat DuPont-18405-1017 5. Stock Solutions and Calibration Standards A stock solution of H-28548 was prepared in HPLC grade water. The stock solution was diluted with HPLC grade water to prepare calibration standards at 0, 2.50, 5.00, 12.5, 25.0, 62.5, 156, and 250 ng/mL levels. 6.

Quantitation The samples, calibration standards, and fortification quality control plasma samples were analyzed by LC/MS/MS. The calibration standard curve was generated by regression analysis using the chromatographic peak areas of the calibration standard solutions. The peak areas for the study samples and fortification QC samples were compared to the calibration standard curve to determine the concentration of the analyte. Any samples with peak areas above the upper calibration standard were diluted to ensure that the peak areas were within the calibration curve. J. Identification of Metabolites Samples of urine were pooled across animals for a given time interval where the mean percent of the administered dose (by sex) was ≥5% (males: 0-6, 6-12 and 12-24 hours; females: 0-6 and 6-12 hours); feces extract samples were not pooled since the total mean percent of dose for each collection interval (by sex) was <5% of the administered dose. Samples of pooled urine (25 µL) were diluted to 500 µL with Nanopure water prior to analysis. Samples of the diluted urine (20 µL) were qualitatively screened by LC/HRMS for metabolites. Retention time and mass spectral confirmation of the parent was performed by spiking control urine with approximately 40 ppm (v/v) of the test material (H-28548) and analyzing the spiked sample using the identical method for the study samples (Method 1). 1.

Quantitation of H-28548 by LC/MS/MS (Tables 1-2, Figures 1-3) 1. Calibration Standard Curve A calibration curve for H-28548 is shown in Figure 1. The curve was generated based on resulting peak areas of the H-28548 analyte using a quadratic equation, and 1/x weighing. 2. Limit of Detection and Limit of Quantitation The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) were determined by comparing the peak-to-peak noise in chromatograms of control matrix versus the signal of the lowest level calibration standard. The initial LOD was calculated as 3 times the concentration equivalent of the mean noise level. The initial LOQ was based on the lowest calibration standard concentration, which had at least a 10x signal-to-noise ratio. For a sample preparation factor of 1x the initial urine and cage wash sample LOD was 0.1 ng/g and for feces the initial LOD was 0.4 ng/g. For a sample preparation factor of 1x the urine, cage wash, and feces matrices all have an initial LOQ of 2.5 ng/g. The final LOD and LOQ for each sample was determined by multiplying the initial values by the sample preparation factor. Example LOD & LOQ Calculation: Urine sample from animal 001M, 120 hour time point • 25 µL aliquot sample weight (g) = 0.0279 g • Sample Preparation Factor = 1 / 0.0279 = 35.8 • Final LOD for this sample = 0.1 ng/g x 35.8 = 4 ng/g (reported to 1 significant digit) • Final LOQ for this sample = 2.5 ng/g x 35.8 = 89.5 ng/g (reported to 3 significant digits) Example LOD & LOQ Calculation: Feces sample from animal 001M, 120 hour time point • Water Extraction Weight = 25.3 g. Feces weight = 14.21 grams • Sample Preparation Factor = (25.3(g) + 14.21 (g)) / 14.21 (g) = 2.78 • Final LOD for this sample = 0.4 ng/g x 2.78 = 1 ng/g (reported to 1 significant digit) • Final LOQ for this sample = 2.5 ng/g x 2.78 = 6.95 ng/g (reported to 3 significant digits) Example LOD & LOQ Calculation: Cage wash sample from animal 001M, 168 hour time point • 200 µL aliquot sample weight (g) = 0.2000 g • Sample Preparation Factor = 1 / 0.2000 = 5.00 - 18 - CH-FW-DEQ-0009526 H-28548: Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Elimination in the Rat DuPont-18405-1017 • Final LOD for this sample = 0.1 ng/g x 5.00 = 0.5 ng/g (reported to 1 significant digit) • Final LOQ for this sample = 2.5 ng/g x 5.00 = 12.5 ng/g (reported to 3 significant digits) None of the predose urine or feces samples had detectable levels of H-28548. 3. Chromatographic Results (urine, cage wash, and dose samples) H-28548 eluted as a well-resolved peak with a retention time of approximately 2.4 minutes. An example chromatogram for the lowest calibration standard at 2.5 ng/mL is shown in Figure 2a. An example chromatogram of a urine control matrix sample is shown in Figure 2b (H-28548 was not detected). A low level fortification quality control (QC) sample is shown in Figure 2c, which was fortified at a level of 400 ng/g, and had a preparation factor of 40x. A 24-hour urine sample from animal 001M, which had a total dilution factor of 1540x is shown in Figure 2d. The final concentration for this sample was 34700 ng/g. 4. Chromatographic Results (feces samples) H-28548 eluted as a well-resolved peak with a retention time of approximately 5.5 minutes. An example chromatogram for the lowest calibration standard at 2.5 ng/mL is shown in Figure 3a. An example chromatogram of a feces control matrix sample is shown in Figure 3b (H-28548 was not detected). A low level fortification quality control (QC) sample is shown in Figure 3c, which was fortified at a level of 250 ng/g, and had a preparation factor of 20x. A 12 hour feces sample from animal 001M, which had a total dilution factor of 336x is shown in Figure 3d. The final concentration for this sample was 2750 ng/g. 5. Fortification QC Sample Results The average QC fortification results for the urine matrix are provided in Table 1. The average recoveries for the low level, mid level, and high level fortification standards ranged from 98-99%. The associated coefficient of variation (CV) ranged from 1-2% and demonstrates acceptable method performance. The average QC fortification results for the feces matrix are provided in Table 2. The average recoveries for the low level, mid level, and high level fortification standards ranged from 85-91%. The associated CV ranged from 3-6% and demonstrates acceptable method performance. B. Dose Formulation Concentration, Animal Body Weights, Dosing Information (Table 3, Appendices A-B) The concentration of H-28548 in the dose solution, as confirmed by LC/MS, was 6.82 mg H-28548/mL, which was approximately 91% of the nominal target (7.5 mg H-28548/mL). At study initiation (day of dosing), males weighed 247.8 g ± 8.15 g and females weighed 181.1 g ± 4.23 g; the calculated dose rate for male (27.4 ± 0.17 mg/kg bw) and female rats (27.2 ± 0.16 mg/kg bw) were within 10% of the nominal target (30 mg/kg bw). - 19 - CH-FW-DEQ-0009527 H-28548: Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Elimination in the Rat DuPont-18405-1017 C. Urine Data (Table 4, Figure 4, Appendix C) Following oral administration of H-28548 in water, 96.6% ± 1.43% and 94.6% ± 8.57% of the administered dose (0-12 hours) was accounted for in urine from male and female rats, respectively. At the conclusion of the study (168 hours post-dose), the cumulative amount of H-28548 detected in urine was 103% ± 2.73% and 99.8% ± 6.41% for male and female rats, respectively. Elimination of H-28548 via urine was rapid and accounted for the administered dose for both male and female rats. D. Feces Data (Table 5, Figure 5, Appendix D) Following oral administration of H-28548 in water, the cumulative amount of H-28548 detected in feces over the entire collection period (0-168 hours) was 1.35% ± 1.05% and 0.85% ± 0.58% for male and female rats, respectively. The negligible amount of H-28548 detected in feces was likely contamination from of urine. Given the high levels of H-28548 in urine, and the design of the urine/feces collection system of the metabolism units, feces likely became contaminated with small amounts of urine when contacting surfaces in transit to the feces collection vessel. E. Material Balance (Table 6, Figure 6, Appendices E-F) Following oral dosing with H-28548 in water and a 168 hour post-dose collection period, 105.3% ± 2.19% and 105.7% ± 1.42% of the administered dose was recovered from male and female rats, respectively. Of the total H-28548 recovered, the majority of administered dose was account for in urine from both males (103.0% ± 2.73%) and females (99.8% ± 6.41%); lesser amounts of H-28548 were accounted for in feces (male = 1.35% ± 1.05%; female = 0.85% ± 0.58%). Cagewash, which is composed of dried excreta (urine and feces) accounted for 0.98% ± 0.52% and 5.03% ± 5.14% of the administered dose for male and female rats, respectively. The carcass and residual feed were not analyzed for H-28548 because analysis of urine, feces and cagewash accounted for the majority of administered dose with an overall recovery of 100% ± 10%. - 20 - CH-FW-DEQ-0009528 H-28548: Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Elimination in the Rat DuPont-18405-1017 F. Metabolite Identification (Figures 7-9) H-28548 was detected in its anionic form by negative ESI mass spectrometry. A representative reconstructed chromatogram of ions characteristic of H-28548 (parent) for the 6 hour female dosed rat urine sample and control urine fortified with the H-28548 test substance is shown in Figure 7. The LC/MS mass spectrum of H-28548 in urine shows a significant amount of its proton bound dimer (m/z 658.943 Da) and sodium bound dimer (m/z 680.923 Da) (Figure 8); the dimer and the sodium dimer were created in the MS system and were not present in the sample itself. The molecular anion (m/z 328.968) was observed in both urine from a rat dosed with H-28548 and the urine fortified with the test substance H-28548, but at a low intensity relative to the dimer adducts. These dimers are not to be confused with a covalent dimer, such as the HFPO acid dimer parent, but are charged dimers sometimes formed, in-source, as a result of the desolvation and ionization processes necessary to be observed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The daughter ion mass spectra of the parent ion 328.97 Da for urine from a rat dosed with H-28548 and urine fortified with the H-28548 test substance shows the same 2 characteristic fragment ions at m/z 284.977, the loss of CO2 and 169.989, [C3F7]- (Figure 9). Subsequent to collection of the LC/MS, all sample data were screened for suspected metabolites manually and automatically for unexpected metabolites using the IntelliExtractTM control- comparison data processing tool. In all cases, there was no evidence of metabolism observed in any of the samples by either method and only the anionic form of the residual parent, H-28548, was detected. CONCLUSIONS Following oral administration of H-28548 in water, 96.6% ± 1.43% and 94.6% ± 8.57% of the administered dose was accounted for in urine (0-12 hours) from male and female rats, respectively. At the conclusion of the study (168 hours post-dose), the total accumulated amount of H-28548 detected in urine was 103% ± 2.73% and 99.8% ± 6.41% of the administered dose for male and female rats, respectively. Elimination of H-28548 via urine was rapid and accounted for a majority of the administered dose for both male and female rats; negligible levels of H-28548 detected in feces from male (1.35% ± 1.05%) and female rats (0.85% ± 0.58%), were likely contamination from of urine. Cagewash, which is composed of dried excreta (urine and feces), accounted for 0.98% ± 0.52% and 5.03% ± 5.14% of the administered dose for male and female rats, respectively. Following oral dosing with H-28548 in water and a 168 hour post-dose collection period, 105.3% ± 2.19% and 105.7% ± 1.42% of the administered dose was recovered from male and female rats, respectively. - 21 - CH-FW-DEQ-0009529 H-28548: Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Elimination in the Rat DuPont-18405-1017 Samples of urine evaluated using LC/MS were found to contain only the parent substance, H-28548. This finding, taken with the complete recovery of the administered dose in urine, confirms that H-28548 was rapidly absorbed and eliminated unmetabolized following oral dosing in the rat.
