Safety Factor for Pyrethroids: Updated Literature and CAPHRA

Program Data Review

Page 1 of 30


-------
Previously, EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) used a 3X FQPA Safety Factor based on
concerns for pharmacokinetic differences between adults and children (Scollon, 2011). OPP has
re-evaluated the need for an FQPA Safety Factor for human health risk assessments for
pyrethroid pesticides. Consistent with EPA's 2014 Guidance for Applying Quantitative Data to
Develop Data Derived Extrapolation Factors (DDEF) for Interspecies and Intraspecies
Extrapolation1, the Agency considers the FQPA safety factor as having two components: with
3X assigned to pharmacokinetics (PK) and 3X to pharmacodynamic (PD) differences. The
previous conclusion that the PD contribution to the FQPA factor is IX remains the same. Based
on a review of the available guideline and literature studies as well as data from the Council for
the Advancement of Pyrethroid Human Risk Assessment (CAPHRA) program, the Agency
concludes that the PK contribution to the FQPA factor is also IX for adults, including women of
child-bearing age, and children. Therefore, the total FQPA safety factor for pyrethroids can be
reduced to IX for all populations.

Re-Evaluation of the FQPA Safety Factor for Pyrethroids: Updated
Literature and CAPHRA Program Data Review

1. Background

Naturally occurring pyrethrin and synthetic pyrethroid2 pesticides constitute a class of
insecticides used to control a variety of pests. The typical pyrethroid structure includes a
chrysanthemic acid linked to an aromatic alcohol through an ester linkage (Figure 1). Structural
modifications such as the addition of halogens to the chrysanthemic acid and aromatic alcohol
moieties and the addition of the a-cyano group have increased photostability, insecticidal
potency, and in some incidences, stereoisomerism of the pyrethroids. As a point of reference,
pyrethroids lacking the a-cyano group are referred to as Type I and those with the a-cyano group
are referred to as Type II pyrethroids.

Figure 1. The typical structure of a pyrethroid pesticide, as illustrated by cypermethrin, includes
an acid and an alcohol moiety. Type II pyrethroids also contain an a-cyano group.

Pyrethroid pesticides have a common mammalian mode of action: interaction with voltage-gated
sodium channels (VGSCs) (USEPA, 2009). This interaction results in disruption of membrane
excitability in the nervous system, leading to neurotoxicity. Two specific toxicity syndromes
have been observed in rats following pyrethroid exposure: T- (fine tremors) and CS-syndromes
(choreoathetosis and salivation). The T-syndrome is associated with Type I pyrethroids and
characterized by aggressive sparring, increased sensitivity to external stimuli and fine whole-
body tremors. The CS-syndrome is associated with Type II pyrethroids and characterized by
initial pawing and burrowing, salivation, and choreoathetosis. A few pyrethroids, including
esfenvalerate and fenpropathrin, elicit symptoms that are a combination of the T- and CS-
syndromes.

In human health risk assessment, the Agency commonly applies default uncertainty factors to
estimate potential human health risks based on animal toxicity study results (interspecies
extrapolation), and to account for human variability (intraspecies extrapolation). In addition, the
Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) (1996) instructs EPA, in making its "reasonable certainty
of no harm" finding, that in "the case of threshold effects, an additional tenfold margin of
safety for the pesticide chemical residue and other sources of exposure shall be applied for

infants and children to take into account potential pre- and post-natal toxicity and
completeness of data with respect to exposure and toxicity to infants and children." Section
408 (b)(2)(C) further states that "the Administrator may use a different margin of safety for the
pesticide chemical residue only if, on the basis of reliable data, such margin will be safe for
infants and children."

Consistent with EPA's 2014 Guidance for Applying Quantitative Data to Develop Data Derived
Extrapolation Factors for Interspecies and Intraspecies Extrapolation3, when sufficient scientific
information is available to delineate the key differences between animals and humans, or across
human populations (e.g., mode of action, metabolism rates), DDEFs can replace the use of
default uncertainty factors of 3X for PK and 3X for PD. The PK component depicts the process
of chemicals being absorbed into, distributed to, metabolized within, and excreted from the body,
and thus, PK processes influence the target tissue dose of a chemical that enters the body. The
PD component determines how a chemical mechanistically brings about target tissue responses
at a given target tissue dose.

The Agency also considers the FQPA safety factor of 10X to have two components: with 3X
assigned to PK and 3X to PD associated with differences between adults and juveniles that
impact lifestage sensitivity. In the case of the pyrethroids, these pesticides share the same mode
of action and a similar pattern of toxicity. The parent pyrethroid is the toxicologically active
compound and metabolism results in detoxification. Also, the rapid absorption, distribution, and
clearance of pyrethroids from the body results in the onset of toxicity and recovery within a few
hours of exposure is shared across the class of pesticides. As such, robust information is
available for this class to support a DDEF approach to the FQPA SF. Moreover, these
similarities support the use of a single FQPA factor for the entire pyrethroid class. The purpose
of this document is to provide a reevaluation the FQPA safety factor for pyrethroids based on
updated information.

2. 2011 Evaluation of the FQPA SF for Pyrethroids

In 2010, as part of registration review4 and new use registrations under the Pesticide Registration
Improvement Act (PRIA), OPP performed a comprehensive evaluation of data pertinent to
assessing the health risks of pyrethroid exposures to children. This review included reproductive,
developmental, and developmental neurotoxicity (DNT) animal guideline studies submitted by
registrants, as well as studies from the open literature (Scollon, 2010). The Agency also
evaluated information on PK (i.e., time course of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and
excretion of pyrethroids) and PD (i.e., sequence of events at the molecular/cellular levels leading
to a toxic response) to determine whether there are any quantitative differences in how young
animals respond to pyrethroids versus adult animals.

PD can be defined as the changes that chemicals cause to the body; in this case, how pyrethroids
interact with the sodium channels. There are several variations of sodium channels, called
isoforms, which have been shown to be differentially expressed by tissue and age in rats.

4	http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrdl/registration_review/

Page 5 of 30


-------
Therefore, it is reasonable to hypothesize that there may be differences in the age-dependent
toxicity of pyrethroids related to age-specific populations of sodium channel isoforms.

In 2011, the Agency reviewed available data to characterize the PD relationship between
pyrethroids and sodium channels (Scollon, 2011). Studies identified at the time consisted of in
vitro studies using frog oocytes or nervous cells artificially grown in media. While these data
did not provide direct quantitative measure of in vivo pyrethroid activity, they consistently and
qualitatively demonstrated that juvenile sodium channels are not more sensitive to pyrethroid
perturbation compared to adults and that, pharmacodynamically, the rat is a conservative model
for humans. Therefore, the Agency concluded that the default pyrethroid 3X FQPA safety factor
for PD could be reduced to IX for humans at all ages.

PK can be defined as what the body does to chemicals; in this case, how pyrethroids are
absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted following exposure. Differences in the ability of
the adults and juveniles to metabolize pyrethroids, or age-dependent PK, are largely responsible
for the juvenile susceptibility previously noted in rats. No such susceptibility has been found in
developmental or reproductive toxicity studies reviewed by EPA (Scollon, 2011). Furthermore,
fetal exposure and exposures to children below 6 months of age are expected to be negligible
because pyrethroid levels in food and drinking water are generally low and there is no or low
potential for contact with treated surfaces. Therefore, EPA's concern and the focus of this
evaluation is humans between 6 months and 6 years old.

In 2011, the Agency reviewed physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models developed
to describe the PK of a few pyrethroids, including deltamethrin, in rats at multiple ages (Scollon,
2011; Godin, 2010; Mirfazaelian, 2006). At the time, no similar age-dependent human PBPK
models were available for these pyrethroids. The rat PBPK model predicted increased
deltamethrin concentrations in 10- and 21-day old rats compared to 90-day old adults given the
same administered dose. A 10-day old rat is a close approximation to the most sensitive human
population, children from birth to <6 years old. Therefore, the Agency retained the default
pyrethroid 3X FQPA safety factor for PK for children <6 years old.

Although the available guideline studies do not indicate that juveniles are more susceptible to
pyrethroid toxicity than adults, several literature studies demonstrate increased juvenile
sensitivity following treatment with high doses of pyrethroids. However, the Agency considered
these literature studies were not sufficiently robust for use in risk assessment and concluded that
additional data were needed to adequately characterize potentially relevant juvenile
susceptibility. To address this data gap, the Agency requested proposals for study
designs/protocols that could identify and quantify potential juvenile sensitivity (USEPA-OPP,
2010). Based on this request, CAPHRA was formed by pyrethroid and pyrethrin registrants in
2011 to develop a research program with the aim of addressing the data gaps identified by EPA
to evaluate potential differential sensitivity of pyrethroids between juveniles and adults.

3. Available Information for the 2019 Reevaluation

New information considered for this evaluation includes research conducted by CAPHRA as
well as systematic review of the pyrethroid open literature.

-------
3.1 Research Conducted by CAPHRA

The fundamental scientific question that CAPHRA worked to address is whether children are
more sensitive than adults to the acute neurotoxic effects resulting from pyrethroid exposure.
Thus, their research program has evaluated both PD and PK factors that are associated with
pyrethroid neurotoxicity to determine if these factors possibly lead to age-related sensitivity to
pyrethroid neurotoxicity in humans. The program included three phases: (1) phase I established
baseline data and understanding of PD and PK using two chemicals (deltamethrin and
permethrin); (2) phase II extrapolated findings from the first phase to five other pyrethroids; (3)
phase III generated data needed to extend the knowledge gained from the previous two phases to
the remaining pyrethroids in the class. A Science Advisory Panel (SAP) reviewed the proposal
and some of the initial research (USEPA, 2010) and a peer-review panel evaluated the resulting
PBPK model.

3.1.1 PD Data Provided by CAPHRA

For PD, CAPHRA used an Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP) for pyrethroid neurotoxicity to
guide the design of targeted studies to investigate whether there is an age-related difference in
the interaction of pyrethroids with the VGSCs in juveniles that makes them more sensitive to the
same target tissue dose in adults. These targeted studies include (a) examining the in vitro effects
of pyrethroids on mammalian cells transfected with the human VGSCs; (b) examining the in
vitro effects of pyrethroids on tetrodotoxin-sensitive, voltage-sensitive sodium channels in
juvenile and adult rat brain neurolemma fragments; and (c) examining the in vivo effects on
acoustic startle response and clinical observations in juvenile and adult rats.

a.	In vitro effects of pyrethroids on mammalian cells transfected with VGSCs

The effects of 9 pyrethroids (cypermethrin, bifenthrin, pyrethrum, prallethrin, permethrin,
esfenvalerate, deltamethrin, tefluthrin, and allethrin) on human sodium channels commonly
found in the young and adult central nervous system were examined in vitro (MRID 49916401).
Several deficiencies were noted in this study, which make the results difficult to interpret,
including: lack of methodology details such as experiment temperatures (some pyrethroid effects
are known to be temperature-dependent) or how the pyrethroids were solubilized; also,
researchers could not confirm the transfection of the pi subunits. Furthermore, this study did not
show differences in sodium channel sensitivity for most of the pyrethroids tested. These results
differ from published studies showing that deltamethrin affects human sodium (Navl.l) channel
currents (James, 2017). The differing results together with the identified deficiencies decrease
confidence in this study. Therefore, this study is not considered informative regarding age-
related pharmacodynamic differences for the pyrethroids.

b.	Neurolemma Study

Neurolemma preparations from juvenile and adult rat brains were microtransplanted into
Xenopus oocytes to compare age-specific concentration-dependent response curves (CDRCs)
from sodium channels (MRID 50409303, TXR#0057772). The effects of treatment with
permethrin and deltamethrin on native VGSC neurolemma preparations were compared.
However, several deficiencies (see data evaluation report [DER] for details) undermine
confidence in this study, including: large variability in the data and concerns with the

Page 7 of 30


-------
appropriateness of the statistical analyses. Given these concerns, this neurolemma study is
considered insufficiently reliable to provide additional insight on the issue of pharmacodynamic
differences for the pyrethroids.

c. In vivo Acoustic Startle Response Studies in Rats

Acoustic startle response (ASR) studies are used to demonstrate the direction, magnitude, and
time-course of effects of pyrethroids on neurological function in adult rats. However, the SAP
concluded in 2010 that ASR is not the best measure for juvenile sensitivity to pyrethroids
because this type of response varies with age (USEPA, 2010). Nonetheless, CAPHRA examined
the suitability of ASR to measure acute neurotoxicity effects of deltamethrin (MRID 50409301)
and permethrin (MRID 50409302) in adult and juvenile rats. EPA has conducted a full review
and performed statistical analyses on these studies, details of which can be found in the
respective DERs (K. Yozzo, TXR#0057772). A short summary is presented below.

Exposure to deltamethrin decreased the ASR in both juvenile and adult rats; however, juvenile
rats were more sensitive to the neurotoxic effect of deltamethrin compared to adult rats. Motility,
salivation and tremor rose above moderate at the highest dose only. Appropriate doses for post-
natal day 15 (PND15) pups were not established in this study; deltamethrin induced significant
dose-dependent decreases in ASR at all doses that did not dissipate or level-off by 8 h post-
treatment. Therefore, a clear time to peak effect, post-treatment interval for testing, or no
observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) were not established.

Exposure to permethrin increased ASR in adult rats starting at the mid-dose. Tremors were
observed in juvenile (PND15) rats at all doses. The adverse effects (tremors) observed at all
doses tested for the juvenile rats did not allow study authors to establish a clear time to peak
effect, or post-treatment interval for testing. Also, the available data indicate that tremors
interfered or confounded the results of the ASR testing in juveniles. Based on the results of the
deltamethrin and permethrin ASR studies, a quantitative comparison between juveniles and
adults is not appropriate using ASR data.

3.1.2. PK Data Provided by CAPHRA

To address the potential PK sensitivity for juveniles, CAPHRA centered their research strategies
on developing a generic, life stage PBPK model for humans for pyrethroids, which can be
parameterized for individual pyrethroids. The ultimate goal was to use the individual PBPK
models to predict dose metrics in target tissues, which is the maximal concentration (Cmax) in
plasma, for juveniles and adults, followed by calculating a data-derived FQPA safety factor for
the entire class of pyrethroids. In phase I, life-stage PBPK models for rats were developed for
deltamethrin and permethrin as both chemicals have extensive body of data for parameterizing
models and evaluating the predictive capability of these models. These data include in vivo time-
concentration data for male Sprague-Dawley rats (PND15, PND21, and adults) for up to 24
hours following oral administration (MRID 49840710, 49840709, 49840708, 49884601,
49840703, 49840704, 49884604, 49884603, 49884602), in vivo tissue/plasma partition
coefficients (MRIDs 49840705, 49840706, and 49916407), in vitro absorption rates (MRIDs
49817604, 49821808, 49821809), in vitro protein binding data (MRIDs 49817601, 49817605,

Page 8 of 30


-------
49840701, 49817602), and in vitro enzyme expression data (MRIDs 49916404 and 49916405)
(See Appendix for study summaries).

The key findings from rat PBPK modeling analysis for deltamethrin and permethrin were that (1)
one generic PBPK model structure parameterized with chemical-specific metabolism rates is
appropriate for simulating plasma Cmax for deltamethrin and permethrin; (2) an in vitro to in
vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) approach implemented to estimate in vivo metabolic clearance from
in vitro measurements based on microsomes and cytosol requires an empirical factor to describe
"restrictive clearance" in vivo, but a single value for the empirical factor is appropriate for both
deltamethrin and permethrin; and (3) the life stage model that incorporates metabolic ontogeny
data is capable of predicting plasma Cmax in juvenile and adult rats. After demonstrating the rat
models have the capability to simulate oral exposures to deltamethrin and permethrin, the same
model structure and parameterization approaches (e.g., IVIVE, enzyme ontogeny) were used to
develop human life stage PBPK models, based on in v/Yro-measured metabolic clearance rates
for humans (MRIDs 50600302, 50600304) and enzyme ontogeny data, for predicting
distributions of plasma Cmax in juveniles and adults.

The modeling analysis in phase I was reviewed by an external panel that consisted of 10
members between July and October 2018. The peer reviewers addressed approximately 20
charge questions in five areas: model representation, coding, evaluation, documentation, and
applications. Their findings were summarized in a report (MRID 50309104) submitted to EPA in
November 2018; the panel concluded that significant modifications must be made to the
documentation before the models can be considered appropriate. Following external peer-review
of the PBPK models for deltamethrin and permethrin, CAPHRA provided their responses to the
peer review comments and revised documentations and model code for the deltamethrin and
permethrin models in a submission dated June 10, 2019 (MRID 50879601). In addition, this
CAPHRA report included analyses and results from phase II of their research program.

The read across approach that used the deltamethrin model as a generic modeling platform for
pyrethroids and replacing metabolic clearance rates with in iv'/m-measured rates for individual
pyrethroids, proved to be appropriate for cis- and trans-permethrin in phase I. Thus, in phase II,
the same read across approach was applied to five additional pyrethroids (esfenvalerate,
bifenthrin, cyphenothrin, cyfluthrin and cyhalothrin) to develop individual PBPK models using
in vitro metabolic clearance rates measured for each chemical (MRIDs 50600303, 50600308,
50600305, 50600301; TXR#0057799). The performance of these models was evaluated by
comparing model simulations with in vivo time-concentration data measured in PND15 and
PND90 rats for each of the five pyrethroids. The difference between observed and simulated
plasma Cmax was generally within two-fold. Similar to the analysis conducted in phase I, these
five rat PBPK models were scaled up to humans, using in v/Yro-measured metabolic clearance
rates and enzyme ontogeny data, for calculating data-derived FQPA safety factors. Data-derived
FQPA safety factors calculated using the five models ranged between 0.66-1.16 (MRID
50879601). After peer-review and revision of the PBPK model, OPP concludes that this model
is adequate for calculating a data-derived FQPA safety factor for the entire class of pyrethroids.

3.2 Systematic Review of Pyrethroid Open Literature

Page 9 of 30


-------
In 2017, OPP performed an updated literature search to generate a comprehensive list of publicly
available pyrethroid citations (McGovern, 2019). A systematic review was performed on the
10,532 citation results to determine whether there were any studies that may be useful for risk
assessment purposes. Two studies were identified and submitted for in-depth review and
incorporation into chemical-specific risk assessments. Additionally, citations tagged as "in vitro"
(271) were reviewed to determine whether new studies assessing age-related sensitivity as it
relates to sodium channels could be located. However, no new studies relating to this topic were
identified. A final search was performed in PubMed on 07/02/2018 for studies between
05/01/2017 and 07/01/2018 with the following search string:

(Pyrethroid OR Deltamethrin OR Bifenthrin OR Cyfluthrin OR Cypermethrin OR Cyphenothrin
OR "d-Phenothrin" OR Esfenvalerate OR Fenpropathrin OR Imiprothrin OR Prallethrin OR
Pyrethrin OR Tau-Fluvalinate OR Tetramethrin) AND (in vitro OR VGSC)

This search identified 67 citations but none of these studies were found to provide additional
information on age-related sensitivity of sodium channels following abstract review.

A systematic review was also conducted for epidemiological studies investigating the association
between pyrethroid exposure and human health effects (Aldridge, 2019). Overall, there was little
substantive evidence to suggest a clear associative or causal relationship between exposure to
pyrethroids and health outcomes in the studies identified.

In conclusion, systematic review of the open literature for pyrethroid epidemiological, in vivo
and in vitro studies did not identify additional information to be used in the assessment of the
FQPA safety factor for pyrethroids.

4. Results of the 2019 Reevaluation

4.1	Pharmacodynamic Considerations for the FQPA Safety Factor

The multiple deficiencies identified in the recently submitted studies preclude the use of these
data to further characterize the PD properties of the pyrethroids. Also, the systematic review of
the open pyrethroid literature did not identify additional studies that could be used to inform the
PD properties of the pyrethroids. In the absence of new adequate data, the previous conclusions
from the 2011 analysis that the rat is an appropriate surrogate for the evaluation of human PD
and that juvenile rats are not more sensitive than adults with respect to pyrethroid PD remain the
same. Therefore, the PD contribution for pyrethroids to the FQPA factor is IX.

4.2	Pharmacokinetic Considerations for the FQPA Safety Factor

The EPA reviewed CAPHRA's reports describing their research strategies on developing a
generic, human life stage PBPK model for pyrethroids, as well as the model code, and responses
to peer review comments from the external panel that evaluated their phase I modeling approach
in 2018. Based on this review, the EPA concludes that the PBPK modeling analysis, combined
with IVIVE and read-across approaches, are appropriate for estimating data-derived FQPA
safety factors for the entire class of pyrethroids.

Page 10 of 30


-------
Based on a weight-of-the-evidence approach and considering all the available information, the
EPA concludes that the PK contribution to the FQPA safety factor is IX for all populations. This
conclusion is based on the following: 1) there is reasonable concordance between Cmax in
plasma predicted using rat life-stage PBPK models for deltamethrin, cis-permethrin, trans-
permethrin, bifenthrin, esfenvalerate, cyphenothrin, cyhalothrin, and cyfluthrin, and those
measured in PND15 and PND 90 rats; 2) human life stage PBPK models that incorporate
enzyme ontogeny data for deltamethrin, cis-permethrin, trans-permethrin, bifenthrin,
esfenvalerate, cyphenothrin, cyhalothrin, and cyfluthrin are used to estimate data-derived FQPA
safety factors, which are all at or below IX; 3) the read across approach for developing PBPK
models for individual pyrethroids based on a single model structure and chemical-specific
metabolic clearance rates measured in microsomes and cytosols has been evaluated for
deltamethrin, cis-permethrin, trans-permethrin, bifenthrin, esfenvalerate, cyphenothrin,
cyhalothrin, and cyfluthrin using in vivo time-concentration data collected in PND 15 and PND90
rats, providing confidence in concluding that data-derived FQPA factor is also IX for the
remaining pyrethroids.

5. Conclusions

FFDCA section 408 requires the Agency to apply an additional 10X safety factor to account for
the potential pre- and post-natal toxicity and completeness of the data with respect to infants and
children unless, based on reliable data, EPA can conclude that another safety factor will be
"safe." The Agency considered previous as well as newly available data on the two components
of the FQPA safety factor (PD and PK). No new information of suitable quality was available on
the age-related PD properties of the pyrethroids. Therefore, the previous conclusion that the PD
contribution to the FQPA safety factor is IX remains the same. With regard to PK, recent data
including human PBPK models, as well as in vivo and in vitro data on protein binding, enzyme
ontogeny and metabolic clearance, support the conclusion that the PK contribution to the FQPA
safety factor is IX for all populations. Therefore, the Agency concludes that the default 10X
FQPA safety factor can be reduced to IX for all populations for the pyrethroid pesticides.

MRID 49840705: Deltamethrin: assessment of partition coefficients

The objective of this study was to determine tissue:plasma partition coefficients for
deltamethrin (DLM) for brain, liver, skeletal muscle and fat in PND15 and PND21 pups and
PND90 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. An oral loading dose coupled with constant
infusion of DLM provided systemic steady-state or equilibrium of the chemical in PND21
pups and adult rats. Only constant infusion of DLM was used for PND15 pups due to toxicity
observed with the combination of the oral dose and then constant infusion. An Alzet®
infusion pump containing DLM was surgically implanted subcutaneously (SC) on the
dorsum of members of these age-groups, with constant infusions of 0.36 mg DLM/hr in the
adult rats or 0.021 mg DLM/hr and 0.028 mg DLM/hr in the PND21 rat pups and PND15 rat
pups, respectively. Three to four hours post-start, PND21 pups and adult rats were gavaged
with 0.25 mg DLM/kg and 30 mg DLM/kg, respectively. Adult rats were euthanized at 72 hr
and PND15 and PND21 pups were euthanized at 48 and 72 hr. DLM concentrations were
measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or gas chromatography -
negative chemical ionization-mass spectrometry (GC-NCI-MS).

DLM distributed evenly between erythrocytes and plasma for adult rats and equilibrium was
achieved after 48 hours and maintained for the duration of the study (72 hr). DLM was
distributed throughout the tissues based on triglyceride content. Adipose tissue was not
visible for PND15 and PND21 pups, which should be taken into account during PBPK
modeling. Partition coefficients are listed in the table below.

MRID 49817601: Deltamethrin: assessment of age differences in rat plasma protein
binding

The ability of deltamethrin (DLM) to bind to proteins and lipoproteins in rat plasma
(Sprague-Dawley) was examined. Four age groups were assessed: post-natal day (PND) 10,
15, 21, and 90. Concentrations of 14C-DLM (250 nM to 100 |iM) were incubated with rat
plasma for 3 hours at 37°C and then extracted to isolate unbound, lipoprotein-bound, and
protein bound fractions. Radioactivity was measured with a liquid scintillation counter, and
specific activity was used to determine the DLM concentration in each fraction. Albumin and
total plasma proteins were measured for each age group.

Binding capacity (Bmax) of DLM to the plasma as well as to plasma proteins is lower in
PND 10 and PND 15 pups compared to PND21 pups and adult (PND90) rats. However,
binding of DLM to lipoproteins was significantly increased in the PND 10 pups compare to
adult rats. In PND21 pups and adult rats, 20% remained unbound, -50% bound to plasma
protein, and -30% bound to lipoprotein. In PND 10 and PND 15 pups, 30-50% remained
unbound; this greater unbound fraction can lead to increased diffusion of deltamethrin from
the blood to many sites including fat, liver, and brain. Albumin levels were significantly
lower in PND 10 and PND 15 pups compared to PND21 pups and adult rats. Additionally,
total protein was significantly lowered in all juvenile age groups (PND 10-21) and may
contribute to altered systemic disposition of the chemical in young pups.

The percent binding decreased with an increase of DLM concentration. Adult plasma had the
greatest extent of binding over a wide range of DLM concentrations, while PND 10 pup
plasma had the lowest binding. Binding to plasma proteins decreased more than binding to
lipoproteins with an increase in DLM concentration, suggesting that lipoproteins can take up
and retain DLM when protein binding becomes saturated.

Conclusion: Age-related differences in binding of DLM to plasma proteins and lipoproteins
should only have a significant impact on the disposition of DLM in rats younger than 21 -
days.

MRID 49817605: Deltamethrin: assessment of age differences in human plasma protein
binding

The ability of deltamethrin (DLM) to bind to proteins and lipoproteins in human plasma was
examined. Seven age groups were assessed: birth to 1 week; >1 week to 4 weeks; >4 weeks
to 1 year; >1 year to 3 years; >3 years to 6 years; >6 years to 18 years; and >18 years

(adults). Concentrations of 14C-DLM (250 nM to 100 |iM) were incubated with human
plasma for 3 hours at 37°C and then extracted to isolate unbound, lipoprotein-bound and
protein bound fractions. Radioactivity was measured with a liquid scintillation counter, and
specific activity was used to determine the DLM concentration in each fraction. Albumin and
total plasma proteins were measured for each age group. Total binding (%) was constant
from 250-750 nM DLM in plasma of all age-groups. Once DLM binding occurs at >4 weeks
of age adults, 10% of DLM remained unbound, -55% bound to plasma proteins, and -35%
bound to lipoprotein. Percent binding reached and remained at adult levels in infants >4
weeks of age. Lipoprotein binding remained constant with age, so plasma proteins must
contribute to the early increase in binding. Albumin comprised 62-78%) of total plasma
proteins throughout human maturation.

The percent binding decreased with an increase of DLM concentration. Adult plasma had the
greatest extent of binding over a wide range of DLM concentrations, while neonatal plasma
had the lowest binding. Binding to plasma proteins decreased more than binding to
lipoproteins with an increase in DLM concentration, suggesting that lipoproteins can take up
and retain DLM when protein binding becomes saturated.

Conclusion: Age-related differences in binding of DLM to plasma proteins and lipoproteins
should not have a significant impact on the disposition of DLM in children and infants older
than 4 weeks of age.

MRID 49840701: Cis-permethrin: assessment of age differences in rat plasma protein

binding

The ability of c/.s-permethrin (CIS) to bind to proteins and lipoproteins in rat plasma
(Sprague-Dawley) was examined. Four age groups were assessed: post-natal day (PND) 10,
15, 21, and 90. Concentrations of 14C-CIS (250 nM to 100 |iM) were incubated with rat
plasma for 3 hours at 37°C and then extracted to isolate unbound, lipoprotein-bound and
protein bound fractions. Radioactivity was measured with a liquid scintillation counter, and
specific activity was used to determine the CIS concentration in each fraction. Albumin and
total plasma proteins were measured for each age group.

Binding capacity (Bmax) of CIS to the plasma as well as to plasma proteins is lower in PND 10
and PND 15 pups compared to PND21 pups and adult (PND90) rats, with saturation in
plasma proteins occurring at 10 and 50 |iM for PND 10 and PND 15 pups, respectively.
However, binding of CIS to lipoproteins was significantly increased in the PND 10 pups
compared to adult rats. In PND21 pups and adult rats, 20% remained unbound, -50% bound
to plasma protein, and -30% bound to lipoprotein. In PND 10 and PND 15 pups, -30%
remained unbound; this greater unbound fraction can lead to increased diffusion of
deltamethrin from the blood to many sites including fat, liver, and brain. Albumin levels
were significantly lower in PND 10 and PND 15 pups compared to PND21 pups and adult
rats. Additionally, total protein was significantly lowered in all juvenile age groups (PND 10-
21) and may contribute to altered systemic disposition of the chemical in young pups.
The percent binding decreased with an increase of CIS concentration. Adult plasma had the
greatest extent of binding over a wide range of CIS concentrations, while PND 10 pup plasma
had the lowest binding. Binding to plasma proteins decreased more than binding to

lipoproteins with an increase in CIS concentration, suggesting that lipoproteins can take up
and retain CIS when protein binding becomes saturated.

Conclusion: Age-related differences in binding of CIS to plasma proteins and lipoproteins
should not have a significant impact on the systemic disposition of CIS in rats older than
PND21.

MRID 49817602: Cis-permethrin: assessment of age differences in human plasma protein

binding

The ability of c/.s-permethrin (CIS) to bind to proteins and lipoproteins in human plasma was
examined. Seven age groups were assessed: birth to 1 week; >1 week to 4 weeks; >4 weeks
to 1 year; >1 year to 3 years; >3 years to 6 years; >6 years to 18 years; and >18 years
(adults). Concentrations of 14C-CIS (250 nM to 100 |iM) were incubated with human plasma
for 3 hours at 37°C and then extracted to isolate unbound, lipoprotein-bound and protein
bound fractions. Radioactivity was measured with a liquid scintillation counter, and specific
activity was used to determine the CIS concentration in each fraction. Albumin and total
plasma proteins were measured for each age group. Total binding (%) was constant from
250-750 nM CIS in plasma of adults and from 250-500 nM CIS for all younger age-groups.
Once maturity of CIS binding occurs at >4 weeks of age adults, 10% of CIS remained
unbound, -55% bound to plasma proteins, and -35% bound to lipoprotein. Percent binding
reached and remained at adult levels in infants >4 weeks of age. Lipoprotein binding
remained constant with age, so plasma proteins must contribute to the early increase in
binding. Albumin comprised 62-78%) of total plasma proteins throughout human maturation.
The percent binding decreased with an increase of CIS concentration. Adult plasma had the
greatest extent of binding over a wide range of CIS concentrations, while neonatal plasma
had the lowest binding. Binding to plasma proteins decreased more than binding to
lipoproteins with an increase in CIS concentration, suggesting that lipoproteins can take up
and retain CIS when protein binding becomes saturated.

Conclusion: Age-related differences in binding of CIS to plasma proteins and lipoproteins
should not have a significant impact on the disposition of CIS in children and infants older
than 4 weeks of age.

MRID 49840707: 7>a«s-permethrin: assessment of age difference in rat plasma protein

binding

The ability of /ra/7.s-permethrin (TRANS) to bind to proteins and lipoproteins in rat plasma
(Sprague-Dawley) was examined. Four age groups were assessed: post-natal day (PND) 10,
15, 21, and 90. Concentrations of 14C-TRANS (250 nM to 100 |iM) were incubated with rat
plasma for 3 hours at 37°C and then extracted to isolate unbound, lipoprotein-bound and
protein bound fractions. Radioactivity was measured with a liquid scintillation counter, and
specific activity was used to determine the TRANS concentration in each fraction. Albumin
and total plasma proteins were measured for each age group.

Binding capacity (Bmax) of TRANS to the plasma as well as to plasma proteins is lower in
PND 10 and PND 15 pups compared to PND21 pups and adult (PND90) rats, with saturation
in plasma proteins occurring at 10 and 50 |iM for PND 10 and PND 15 pups, respectively.

Page 19 of 30


-------
However, binding of TRANS to lipoproteins was significantly increased in the PND10 pups
compared to adult rats. In PND21 pups and adult rats, 20% remained unbound, -50% bound
to plasma protein, and -30% bound to lipoprotein. In PND 10 and PND15 pups, -30%
remained unbound; this greater unbound fraction can lead to increased diffusion of
deltamethrin from the blood to many sites including fat, liver, and brain. Albumin levels
were significantly lower in PND 10 and PND 15 pups compared to PND21 pups and adult
rats. Additionally, total protein was significantly lowered in all juvenile age groups (PND 10-
21) and may contribute to altered systemic disposition of the chemical in young pups.
The percent binding decreased with an increase of TRANS concentration. Adult plasma had
the greatest extent of binding over a wide range of TRANS concentrations, while PND 10 pup
plasma had the lowest binding. Binding to plasma proteins decreased more than binding to
lipoproteins with an increase in TRANS concentration, suggesting that lipoproteins can take
up and retain CIS when protein binding becomes saturated.

Conclusion: Age-related differences in binding of TRANS to plasma proteins and
lipoproteins should not have a significant impact on the systemic disposition of TRANS in
rats older than PND 21.

protein binding

The ability of /ra/7.s-permethrin (TRANS) to bind to proteins and lipoproteins in human
plasma was examined. Seven age groups were assessed: birth to 1 week; >1 week to 4 weeks;
>4 weeks to 1 year; >1 year to 3 years; >3 years to 6 years; >6 years to 18 years; and >18
years (adults). Concentrations of 14C-TRANS (250 nM to 100 |iM) were incubated with
human plasma for 3 hours at 37°C and then extracted to isolate unbound, lipoprotein-bound
and protein bound fractions. Radioactivity was measured with a liquid scintillation counter,
and specific activity was used to determine the TRANS concentration in each fraction.
Albumin and total plasma proteins were measured for each age group. Total binding (%)
was constant from 250-750 nM TRANS in plasma of adults and from 250-500 nM TRANS
for all younger age-groups. Once maturity of TRANS binding occurs at >4 weeks of age
adults, 12-15%) of TRANS remained unbound, 55-60%) bound to plasma proteins, and 26-
33%o bound to lipoprotein. Percent binding reached and remained at adult levels in infants >4
weeks of age. Lipoprotein binding remained constant with age, so plasma proteins must
contribute to the early increase in binding. Albumin comprised 62-78%) of total plasma
proteins throughout human maturation.

The percent binding decreased with an increase of TRANS concentration. Adult plasma had
the greatest extent of binding over a wide range of TRANS concentrations, while neonatal
plasma had the lowest binding. Binding to plasma proteins decreased more than binding to
lipoproteins with an increase in TRANS concentration, suggesting that lipoproteins can take

MRID 49817604: Investigation of the potential role of gastrointestinal membrane
transporters in deltamethrin absorption

Caco-2 cells were used to establish the intestinal permeability and transport properties of
DLM. Caco-2 cell monolayers were grown for 21 days to confluency on plates to assess
cellular uptake of DLM and R6G [a p-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate] in the presence and
absence of P-gp inhibitors. Caco-2 cell monolayers were also grown on inserts in a
Transwell® system, which allowed R6G and DLM influx and efflux to be characterized
qualitatively and quantitatively. To further assess the potential P-gp transport properties of
DLM, MDCK-MDRl and wild type MDCK cells, which overexpress P-gp, were grown.

DLM accumulation in caco-2, MDCK-MDRl, and MDCK cells was significantly reduced by
CSA and RTV, well-established P-gp inhibitors, suggesting involvement of an influx
transport system. Transepithelial flux of deltamethrin was significantly higher apical (AP) to
basolateral (BL) direction compared to the BL to AP direction. Papp value ratio was 0.4 (>1:
efflux transportation; <1: influx transportation; ~1: passive transportation), thus DLM is
transported by influx processes and has limited GI absorption in vivo.

MRID 49821808: Investigation of the potential role of gastrointestinal membrane
transporters in cis-permethrin absorption

Caco-2 cells were used to establish the intestinal permeability and transport properties of
CIS. Caco-2 cell monolayers were grown for 21 days to confluency on plates to assess
cellular uptake of CIS and R6G [a p-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate] in the presence and
absence of P-gp inhibitors. Caco-2 cell monolayers were also grown on inserts in a
Transwell® system, which allowed R6G and CIS influx and efflux to be characterized
qualitatively and quantitatively.

CIS did not change R6G accumulation, suggesting CIS is not a P-gp inhibitor. Additionally,
CSA (P-gp inhibitor cyclosporine) and RTV (P-gp inhibitor ritonavir) reduced CIS
accumulation, suggesting inhibition of an influx transport process. Transepithelial flux of
CIS was significantly higher apical (AP) to basolateral (BL) direction compared to the BL to
AP direction. Papp value ratio was 0.51 (>1: efflux transportation; <1: influx transportation;
~1: passive transportation), thus CIS is transported by influx processes and has limited GI
absorption in vivo.

MRID 49821809: Investigation of the potential role of gastrointestinal membrane
transporters in frans-permethrin absorption

Caco-2 cells were used to establish the intestinal permeability and transport properties of
TRANS. Caco-2 cell monolayers were grown for 21 days to confluency on plates to assess
cellular uptake of TRANS and R6G [a p-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate] in the presence and
absence of P-gp inhibitors. Caco-2 cell monolayers were also grown on inserts in a
Transwell® system, which allowed R6G and TRANS influx and efflux to be characterized
qualitatively and quantitatively.

TRANS did not change R6G accumulation, suggesting TRANS is not a P-gp inhibitor.
Additionally, CSA (P-gp inhibitor cyclosporine) and RTV (P-gp inhibitor ritonavir) reduced

flux of TRANS was significantly higher apical (AP) to basolateral (BL) direction compared
to the BL to AP direction. Papp value ratio was 0.64 (>1: efflux transportation; <1: influx
transportation; ~1: passive transportation), thus TRANS is transported by influx processes
and has limited GI absorption in vivo.

MRID 49916405: Deltamethrin: Determination of rates of metabolism of deltamethrin by

tissue preparations from 15, 21, and 90-day old rats

The objective of this study was to determine rates of metabolism of deltamethrin (DLM) by
liver microsome and cytosol preparations and by plasma preparations from male Sprague-
Dawley rats aged 15, 21 and 90 days. The metabolism of DLM in liver microsome and
cytosol preparations was determined with target DLM substrate concentrations of 0.1, 0.3,1,
3 and 10 |iM. Incubations with liver microsomes were performed in both the presence (to
determine metabolism by both CYP and CES enzymes) and absence (CES enzymes only) of
NADPH. Rates of metabolism of DLM by hepatic microsomal CYP enzymes were greater
than rates of DLM metabolism by microsomal CES enzymes. Liver microsome, liver cytosol
and plasma preparations CLmt values for DLM metabolism were lowest in 15-day old rats
and greatest in 90-day old rats, demonstrating that the metabolism of DLM is impaired in
young rats compared to adults.

MRID 49916404: Deltamethrin: comparison of rates of metabolism of deltamethrin by rat
hepatocytes and liver subcellular fraction

The objective of this study was to compare rates of metabolism of deltamethrin (DLM) in
male Sprague-Dawley rat (PND90) hepatocytes with rates of metabolism in liver microsomes
and cytosol. The metabolism of 0.05, 0.1, 0.3, and 1 |iM DLM in rat hepatocytes and in liver
microsomes and cytosol was determined by loss of substrate with time of incubation.
Incubations with liver microsomes were performed in the presence of NADPH to determine
DLM metabolism by both cytochrome P450 (CYP) and carboxylesterase (CES) enzymes,
whereas incubations with liver cytosol were performed in the absence of NADPH (CES
enzymes only). Bifenthrin was used as the internal standard for analysis of DLM in rat
hepatocyte and liver microsome and cytosol incubate extracts. The mean (±SD) of unbound
CLint was 0.2045±0.0399 ml/min/lxlO6 viable cells, and the mean (±SD) affinity constant
was 3.8597±1.0544 Ka. Metabolism rates of DLM with the CRL liver microsome and
cytosol preparation varied from 1.14-1.68 fold, while metabolism rates of DLM with the LFR
liver microsome and cytosol preparation varied from 1.19-1.29 fold. With both liver
preparations, the rate of metabolism in the hepatocytes was similar to the rate of the
microsomes, suggesting that uptake into hepatocytes may not be a major factor in
determining the overall rate of in vivo metabolism of DLM in the rat.

MRID 49916403: Deltamethrin: development of a microassay to determine rates of
metabolism of deltamethrin by liver preparations from humans of various ages

The objective of this study was to develop a microassay for the metabolism of deltamethrin
(DLM) by human liver microsomal and cytosolic preparations. DLM metabolism was
determined by loss of substrate in incubations with human liver microsome and cytosol
preparations (150 donor pools). Incubations with human liver microsomes were performed in
the presence and absence of NADPH, but incubations with liver cytosol were performed in
the absence of NADPH only. This assay uses flat bottomed clear glass screw capped 1.5 ml
vials with separate incubations conducted for each time point in a shaking water bath at 37°C.
For both human liver microsomes and cytosol, apparent CLint values decreased with
increasing protein concentration in the incubation mixtures.

MRID 49916402: Deltamethrin and cis- and trans- permethrin: studies on the kinetics of
deltamethrin and cis- and trans- permethrin metabolism by rat and human liver
microsomes

The objective of this study was to determine rates of metabolism of deltamethrin (DLM) and
cis- and trans-permethrin by rat and human liver microsomal preparations. In both rat and
human liver microsomes, rates of metabolism of DLM, CIS and TRANS decreased with
increasing microsomal protein concentration from 0.1 to 1.0 mg protein/ml incubation
mixture. DLM, CIS and TRANS exhibit nonspecific binding to liver microsomes, especially
at higher concentrations.

MRID 49916406: Determination of human hepatic CES1 and CES2 age-dependent
developmental expression patterns in postnatal ages birth to 18 years

Human CES1 and CES2 are expressed in both hepatic microsomal and cytosolic
compartments; moreover, this expression is dependent on age. Expression of both enzymes is

Page 23 of 30


-------
lower among infants 3 weeks of age or less compared to older infants and children.
Furthermore, microsomal CES1 and cytosolic CES2 do not exhibit any additional age-related
differences. However, expression of microsomal CES2 and cytosolic CES1 is significantly
decreased in infants of 3 weeks of age to 6 years of age, suggesting major changes occur
during this developmental window. Microsomal and cytosolic CES1 have greater variance
(30- and 70-fold, respectively) compared to microsomal and cytosolic CES2 (11- and 8-fold,
respectively). Additionally, CES1 expression varies more than CES2 across age-groups.
When assessed independent of age or any other factors, race/ethnicity appeared to have an
association with microsomal CES1 and CES2 protein expression. Caucasians had greater
microsomal CES1 expression than those from African Americans, which had a greater
expression than Hispanics. Microsomal CES2 expression showed the same pattern as
microsomal CES1 expression. Cytosolic CES1 was also greater in Caucasians compared to
African Americans, but there was no difference in expression of cytosolic CES2.

MRID 49817603: Investigation of blood brain barrier transport of deltamethrin

The human brain microvessel endothelial cell line (hCMEC/D3) that displays many BBB
marker and most properties of brain endothelium in vivo. Experiments were conducted with a
substrate (Paclitaxel; PTX) and an inhibitor (Cyclosporine A; CSA) of the P-glycoprotein (P-
gp) efflux transporter. DLM did not cause any change of PTX accumulation suggesting DLM
is not a P-gp inhibitor. P-gp does not mediate the efflux of DLM from human brain
endothelial cells. Uptake by hCMEC cells was dependent on the free fraction of DLM
available for transport. Influx transport of DLM is only functional at high free fraction of
DLM (-60%); however, at physiologically relevant human serum albumin (HAS)
concentrations and levels of unbound DLM (-10%), a linear passive diffusion process
occurs.

MRID 49840710: Toxicokinetic assessment of blood and tissue deltamethrin concentrations

following the administration of a single oral dose to 15-day-old pups

The objective of this study was to characterize the toxicokinetics (TK) of deltamethrin
(DLM) in 15-day-old Sprague-Dawley rats to obtain comprehensive plasma and tissue time-
course concentration data to support PBPK modeling. DLM exhibited dose-dependent TK in
PND15 pups, as plasma levels increased with an increase in dose with a maximum
concentration (Cmax) at 2-4 hours. The half-life was similar for all doses (212-252 minutes).
The Cmax for the 0.25 and 0.5 mg/kg doses were proportional to dose; however, the Cmax for
the 0.1 mg/kg dose was lower than expected partially due to either lower GI absorption
and/or an increase in first pass metabolism. Oral clearance (Cl/F) ranged from 4.6-9.6
ml/min. Peak brain concentrations occurred 3-6 hours post-dosing and increased with an
increase in dose. The AUC ratio for the lowest dose was 0.29 indicating greater relative brain
exposure. Plasma concentrations at the mid- and high-dose groups were higher than brain
concentrations, suggesting saturation of uptake processes into the brain. Liver Cmax and AUC
increased disproportionately with dose; however, the half-lives were comparable for all
doses.

-------
The objective of this study was to characterize the toxicokinetics (TK) of deltamethrin
(DLM) in 21-day-old Sprague-Dawley rats to obtain comprehensive plasma and tissue time-
course concentration data to support PBPK modeling. DLM exhibited dose-dependent TK in
PND21 pups, as plasma levels increased with an increase in dose with a maximum
concentration (Cmax) at 2-4 hours. The half-life was similar for all doses (287-418 minutes).
The plasma Cmax for the 0.25 and 0.5 mg/kg doses were proportional to dose; however, the
Cmax for the 0.1 mg/kg dose was higher than that of the mid dose. Oral clearance (Cl/F)
ranged from 3.5-13.6 ml/min, with the low dose having the lowest oral clearance, suggesting
either clearance decreased and/or bioavailability increased. There was a dose-dependent
clearance in the brain with a Cmax of 6-8 hours for O.lmg/kg and 0.25 mg/kg and 2 hrs for 0.5
mg/kg. Brain concentrations increased more slowly than plasma concentrations. Liver Cmax
and AUC increased disproportionately with dose; however, the half-lives were comparable
for all doses.

MRID 49840708: Toxicokinetic assessment of blood and tissue deltamethrin concentrations

following the administration of a single oral dose to mature rats

The objective of this study was to characterize the toxicokinetics (TK) of deltamethrin
(DLM) in adult Sprague-Dawley rats to obtain comprehensive plasma and tissue time-course
concentration data to support PBPK modeling. DLM exhibited dose-dependent TK in adults,
as plasma levels increased with an increase in dose. Concentration of DLM increased for 4-5
hours, plateaued, and then slowly eliminated for >8 hours. No detectable concentrations of
DLM were found in the brain at 0.1 mg/kg dose or in the liver at 0.1 mg/kg and 0.25 mg/kg.
Liver area under the curve (AUC) and maximum concentration (Cmax) increased
disproportionally with dose. Fat concentrations increased with dose. Brain, muscle, and liver
had longer residence times compared to plasma.

MRID 49884604: Toxicokinetic assessment of blood and tissue trans-permethrin

concentrations following the administration of a single oral dose to 15 day old rats

The objective of this study was to characterize the toxicokinetics (TK) of trans-permethrin
(TRANS) in 15-day-old Sprague-Dawley rats to obtain comprehensive plasma and tissue
time-course concentration data to support PBPK modeling. Oral clearance was similar for all
doses (3.01-4.39 L/h). The half-life for plasma and brain in the highest dose tested (600
mg/kg) was approximately 2-fold higher than that for the lower doses. Peak plasma
concentrations occurred at 2 hours post-dose, while peak brain concentrations occurred at 4
hours post dose and ranged from 6.76-7.14 jug/g. Muscle Tmax and Cmax did not increase with
dose but AUC increased with dose. Liver concentration-time profiles had the same pattern as
plasma but had higher concentrations. The muscle AUCs were greater than brain and plasma,
suggesting greater uptake in the muscle.

MRID 49884603: Toxicokinetic assessment of blood and tissue trans-permethrin

concentrations following the administration of a single oral dose to 21 day old rats

The objective of this study was to characterize the toxicokinetics (TK) of trans-permethrin
(TRANS) in 21-day-old Sprague-Dawley rats to obtain comprehensive plasma and tissue
time-course concentration data to support PBPK modeling. Oral clearance was similar for the
300 and 450 mg/kg doses but doubled for the 600 mg/kg dose. Peak plasma concentrations
occurred at 2 hours with a maximum concentration (Cmax) similar for all doses, suggesting

Page 25 of 30


-------
saturation in absorption. Peak brain concentrations occurred at 4 hours post dose. Brain AUC
and Cmax increases with dose with AUC increasing 3-fold with a 50% increase in dose,
suggesting an increase in residence time. Liver Cmax occurred during the first time point, so
the study may have missed Cmax. The muscle AUCs were greater than brain and plasma,
suggesting greater uptake in the muscle.

MRID 49884602: Toxicokinetic assessment of blood and tissue trans-permethrin

concentrations following the administration of a single oral dose to adult rats

The objective of this study was to characterize the toxicokinetics (TK) of trans-permethrin
(TRANS) in adult Sprague-Dawley rats to obtain comprehensive plasma and tissue time-
course concentration data to support PBPK modeling. Plasma, brain, liver, and muscle
concentrations paralleled one another with a peak concentration after 4-6 hours for the
highest dose tested (300 mg/kg). TRANS levels in liver, brain, or muscle could not be
reliably detected in the lowest two dose groups (120 and 150 mg/kg); however, levels in fat
increased progressively and plateaued at 12 hours post-dose with concentrations three times
that of plasma with no clearance during the test window. Oral clearance was similar at the
lowest 2 doses but increased -40% for the 300 mg/kg dose suggesting either clearance
increased or bioavailability decreased.

MRID 49884601: Toxicokinetic assessment of blood and tissue cis-permethrin

concentrations following the administration of a single oral dose to 15-day old rats

The objective of this study was to characterize the toxicokinetics (TK) of c/.s-permethrin
(CIS) in 15-day-old Sprague-Dawley rats to obtain comprehensive plasma and tissue time-
course concentration data to support PBPK modeling. Plasma AUC increased proportionately
with an increase in dose. Oral clearance was similar for all doses (1.3-2.0 L/h). Plasma
concentrations peaked at 2-4 hour post-dosing and had half-lives of 1.8-4 hours. Brain Cmax
and AUC increased proportionately with an increase in dose. Brain Cmax was achieved at 6-8
hours and was equivalent to plasma Cmax for the two higher doses, the low dose was 50%
higher than plasma. Liver concentrations followed the same pattern as the plasma
concentrations; however, liver Cmax was 2-3-fold higher than plasma. Muscle Cmax was higher
than plasma and had a longer half-life, suggesting uptake and retention in muscle. Fat was
not measurable in 15-day old rats.

MRID 49840703: Toxicokinetic assessment of blood and tissue cis-permethrin

concentrations following the administration of a single oral dose to 21-day old rats

The objective of this study was to characterize the toxicokinetics (TK) of c/.s-permethrin
(CIS) in 21-day-old Sprague-Dawley rats to obtain comprehensive plasma and tissue time-
course concentration data to support PBPK modeling. The plasma TK profile was similar for
all doses tested with a peak plasma concentration at 2-4 hours post-dose. Plasma AUC was
similar for all doses, for oral clearance increased with an increase in dose. Peak brain
concentrations occurred at 4-6 hours post-dose. Brain AUC and Cmax were approximately
equal for the two lowest doses tested but increased at the highest concentration tested. Liver
AUC paralleled plasma AUC but were higher. The muscle Cmax were greater than brain and
plasma, suggesting greater uptake in the muscle. Fat was not measurable in 21-day old rats.

The objective of this study was to characterize the toxicokinetics (TK) of c/.s-permethrin
(CIS) in adult Sprague-Dawley rats to obtain comprehensive plasma and tissue time-course
concentration data to support PBPK modeling. Plasma AUC increased proportionately with
increase in dose, and the oral clearance was equivalent for all 3 doses tested. Liver profile
paralleled the plasma profile but at a higher concentration. Peak concentrations in the muscle
and brain occurred at 6-8 hours. Fat concentrations increased throughout the 24-hour
monitoring period. Liver and brain Cmax changed disproportionately with dose. AUC values
suggested that liver and brain concentrations were saturated at the 90 and 120 mg/kg doses.

MRID 49916401: Effects of pyrethroids on human sodium channels co-expressed with
beta-1 and beta-2 subunits

The effects of 9 pyrethroids (cypermethrin, bifenthrin, pyrethrum, prallethrin, permethrin,
esfenvalerate, deltamethrin, tefluthrin, and allethrin) on human sodium channels commonly
found in the young and adult central nervous system were examined in vitro. The study uses
HEK cells stably expressing the alpha subunit of 4 isoforms of VGSC (Navl.l, 1.2, 1.3 and
1.6). These cells were then transfected with a plasmid containing the beta 1 and beta 2
subunits, which are the common beta subunits in adult brain. There was no successful
demonstration of the presence of betal protein using western blots. Although this could be
due to lack of a suitable antibody the electrophysiology also does not support expression of
this subunit, as rather than causing a hyperpolarizing shift in Navl.3 current of 10-13 mV, a
depolarizing shift of ~3mV was observed in cells transfected with beta subunits.
Deltamethrin, cypermethrin and permethrin were all generally without effects on sodium
currents of any type. The conclusions of the report are not informative. However, given the
overall uncertainty in the report, it is unlikely that the results can be informative regarding
toxicodynamic differences in age-sensitivity.

MRID 50600302: Cispermethrin: a study to determine the kinetics of metabolism of
cyphenothrin in rat and human plasma, rat and human liver microsomes and rat and
human liver cytosol

The purpose of this study was to assess the kinetics of metabolism of c/.s-permethrin in
human and rat liver microsomes, human and rat liver cytosol and human and rat plasma. The
human tissue preparations were comprised of commercially available pools of liver
microsome, liver cytosol and plasma, while the rat tissue preparations were comprised of
liver microsomes, liver cytosol and plasma from male Sprague-Dawley rats (PND 15, 21, and
90). Cytochrome P450 (CYP) and carboxylesterase enzymes (CES) were investigated as well
as metabolism in the presence of NADPH. CYP only metabolism was estimated by
examining the difference between with NADPH and without NADPH metabolic rates.

( 7.s-permethrin was predominantly metabolized by CYP enzymes in all three ages of rat liver
assessed but was predominantly metabolized by CES enzymes in human liver microsomes.
Metabolism was highest in the 90-day rat liver microsomes, cytosol and plasma and lowest in
the 15-day rat liver microsomes, cytosol and plasma. In human liver microsomes,
metabolism by CES enzymes was 59% of the rate from CYP enzymes. Metabolism was not
observed in human plasma.

The purpose of this study was to assess the kinetics of metabolism of deltamethrin in human
and rat liver microsomes, human and rat liver cytosol and human and rat plasma. The human
tissue preparations were comprised of commercially available pools of liver microsome, liver
cytosol and plasma, while the rat tissue preparations were comprised of liver microsomes,
liver cytosol and plasma from male Sprague-Dawley rats (PND 15, 21, and 90). Cytochrome
P450 (CYP) and carboxylesterase enzymes (CES) were investigated as well as metabolism in

between with NADPH and without NADPH metabolic rates.

Deltamethrin was predominantly metabolized by CYP enzymes in all three ages of rat liver
assessed but was predominantly metabolized by CES enzymes in human liver microsomes.
Metabolism was highest in the 90-day rat liver microsomes, cytosol and plasma and lowest in
the 15-day rat liver microsomes, cytosol and plasma. In human liver microsomes,
metabolism was entirely due to CES enzymes, as rates could not be calculated for CYP
enzymes.
