Effect of various treatments on toxicity of inhaled vinylidene chloride.

Embryotoxicity and fetotoxicity of inhaled or ingested vinylidene chloride in rats and rabbits.

Embryotoxicity and Fetotoxicity of Inhaled or Ingested Vinylidene Chloride in Rats and Rabbits. MURRAY, F. J., NITSCHKE, K. D., RAMPY, L. W., AND SCHWETZ, B. A. (1979). Toxicol. App/. Pharmacal. 49, 189-202. The teratogenic potential of inhaled or ingested vinylidene chloride was evaluated in Sprague-Dawley rats and New Zealand white rabbits. Both species were exposed to the test material by in...

A chronic toxicity and oncogenicity study in rats and subchronic toxicity study in dogs on ingested vinylidene chloride.

The chronic toxicity and oncogenic potential of ingested vinylidene chloride (VDC) was evaluated in a 2-year study on Sprague-Dawley rats and the subchronic toxicity was evaluated in beagle dogs in a 97-day study. The vinylidene chloride was incorporated in the drinking water of the rats at nominal concentrations of 50, 100 or 200 ppm. The time weighted average mg/kg body weight/day dosages of ...

Pharmacokinetics of vinylidene chloride in the rat.

The metabolism of inhaled vinylidene chloride in rats represents a balance of biotransformation pathways leading to the formation of a reactive alkylating species which is normally detoxified by conjugation with glutathione. Detoxification of the reactive intermediate formed from inhaled VDC is dependent upon the availability of hepatic glutathione (GSH); as VDC exposure concentrations are incr...

Effect of Particulate Properties of Inhaled Dry Powder Formulation on Bioavailability, Dissolution Rate of Drug Particles and Rate of Drug Removal from the Body

Introduction: The use of pulmonary drug delivery as a non-invasive drug delivery system for the systemic treatment of diseases as well as the topical treatment of respiratory diseases is increasing. Among the various inhaled formulations, inhaled dry powders show advantages over the other forms of inhaled medicines due to high stability, bioavailability and ease of use. The effect of particle p...
