PHARMACOKINETIC STUDY OF POSF IN RATS - STUDY OUTLINE
Study Objective: The objective o f this study is to assess the potential for oral absorption, urinary
and fecal clearance and biological persistence o f perfluorooctane sulfonyl fluoride (POSF) in male Sprague Dawley rats after a single oral dose. The POSF compound is the starting material for the synthesis o f a wide variety o f perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) based materials. The purpose o f this study is to understand the rate o f metabolism o f POSF to PFOS by the liver. This study will provide data for proper risk characterization o f POSF.
GLP Status: This study will be performed in the 3M Strategic Toxicology Laboratory under a
defined protocol and classified as a "Class B Study" as explained in TOX SOP 0950, Strategic
Toxicology Lab GLP Program Procedure.
Test Animals: Male, Sprague-Dawley rats, 150-250 g, obtained from Harlan.
Dose Groups: 0 and 5 mg/kg according to the following schedule:

Test Article: Dan Hakes, Product Responsibility Liaison 3M Chemicals Division, will furnish
high-purity POSF.
Compound Administration: Oral gavage.
Clinical Observations: Once daily.
Sample Collection: Urine and feces will be collected three specific rats from groups 3 and 6 on
days 1, 2, 4, 15 and 29-post dose. These animals will be placed in metabolism cages for 24 hours for each for each collection. Necropsies will occur on days 1.4 and 29 post-dose. Liver, kidneys, sera, subcutaneous fat and whole carcass collection will occur at necropsy.
Sample Analysis: The 3M Environmental Laboratory will manage the extraction and analysis o f
sera, liver, urine and feces for the parent compound, POSF, and its presumed metabolite. PFOS. All tissue samples will be retained for possible future analysis o f total organic fluorine (TOF). 3M Environmental Laboratory or its designee would perform such an analysis if deemed necessary by the Study Director.
Data Analysis: Data collected on tissue levels o f parent compound and identifiable metabolites
will be analyzed for toxicokinetic parameters and for statistically significant differences between groups using Students T-test and/or ANOVA.

Husbandry:
Housing: Three specific rats from groups 3 and 6 will be housed individually in
metabolism cages for portions of the study (see Table 2). When not in
metabolism cages, these rats will be group housed in standard cages. All
other rats will be group housed in standard cages throughout the study.
Diet/Water: Harlan Teklad LM-485 Mouse/Rat Sterilizable Diet, supplied by Harlan
Teklad, Madison, WI, and tap water will be provided to all rats ad libitum
throughout the study.
Environment: Environmental controls for the animal room will be set to maintain a
temperature of 72 3F, humidity of 30-70%, a minimum of 10
exchanges of room air per hour and a 12 hour light/dark cycle.
Dose and Dosing Procedures: Method of administration/Dose preparation: A single 5mg/kg dose of POSF will be administered via oral gavage to rats in groups 4-6 on day zero of the study. The POSF will be prepared as a 1% (1 mg/ml) uniform suspension in 2% Tween 80 using a 15 ml tissue grinder. A volume of 5 ml suspension / kg body weight will be administered to each rat. Re-suspension of solids will be performed with 5 strokes of the tissue grinder pestel before each sample is drawn-up in the
syringe for dosing. A single 5 ml / kg body weight dose of 2% Tween 80 will be administered via oral gavage to rats in groups 1-3 on day zero of the study.
Observation o fAnimals: Clinical Observations: Each animal will be observed daily for mortality and morbidity and notable findings will be recorded. Additional findings will be recorded as they are observed. Body Weights: Each animal will be weighed immediately prior to dosing, weekly thereafter and immediately prior to euthanasia.
Specimen Collection: Frequency (see Table 2): Urine and feces collections will be made on days 1,2,4, 14 and 29 post dose. Necropsies will be performed on days 1, 4 and 29 post dose.

Method of Specimen Collection: Urine and feces will be collected from each metabolism cage at the designated times. The initial volume of urine will be recorded, the sides of the urine collection apparatus will be washed with 10-20 ml deionized water and the final volume of urine will be brought to 45 ml with additional deionized water. Daily feces weight will be recorded for each animal. At the designated times, animals will be euthanized by C 0 2and
gross necropsy performed. During necropsy, blood ( 6 ml) will be collected via the abdominal aorta and transferred to blood collection tubes without anticoagulant. Blood samples will be allowed to clot for a period of 15 to 30 minutes at room temperature, and the clot will be spun down in a centrifuge at 1100 x g for 5 minutes. The serum will be transferred to labeled 1.5 ml microfuge tubes and centrifuged again at 2000 x g to remove any remaining red blood cells. Each sera sample will then be transferred to a separate labeled polypropylene microfuge tube and flashfrozen in liquid nitrogen. Liver, kidneys and subcutaneous fat from each animal will be removed, weighed, flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and placed individually into labeled sterile sample bags. The remainder of
each carcass will be placed in a labeled ziplock bag and frozen (-70 C) until analysis.
Specimen Handling:

The 3M Environmental Laboratory will manage the extraction and analysis of sera, liver, urine and feces for the parent compound, POSF. and its presumed metabolite, PFOS. All tissue samples will be retained for possible future analysis of total organic fluorine (TOF) if deemed necessary by the Study Director. 3M Environmental Laboratory or its designee would perform this analysis. All results will be provided for inclusion in the final report.
