3M MEDICAL DEPARTMENT, CORPORATE TOXICOLOGY Protocol for Study No. T-7098.1 PHARM ACOKINETIC STUDY OF POSF IN RATS 01/07/99 T-7098.1 POSF PK 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.

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 w ater 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 o f 72 3F, humidity o f 30-70%, a minimum o f 10 exchanges o f 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 o f POSF will be administered via oral gavage to rats in groups 4-6 on day zero o f 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 o f 5 ml suspension / kg body weight will be administered to each rat. Re-suspension o f solids will be performed with 5 strokes o f the tissue grinder pestel before each sample is drawn-up in the syringe for dosing. A single 5 ml / kg body weight dose o f 2% Tween 80 will be administered via oral gavage to rats in groups 1-3 on day zero o f 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. 000105 3 Table 2 - Schedule Jan 10 Jan 11 day 0 DOSING Jan 17 day 6 PD Jan 24 day 13 PD Jan 18 day 7 PD Jan 25 day 14 PD Switch to met cages.

The initial volume o f urine will be recorded, the sides o f the urine collection apparatus will be washed with 10-20 ml deionized water and the final volume o f 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 2 and 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 o f 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 o f each carcass will be placed in a labeled ziplock bag and frozen (-70 C) until analysis. Specimen Handling: Specimens will temporarily be stored in a freezer set to maintain -60 to 80C. For metabolite analysis, these specimens will be packed in dry ice and shipped to: 000106 4 Kris Hansen, Ph.D. 3M Environmental Technology and Safety Services 935 Bush Avenue St. Paul, M N 55133-3331 Ph: 612-778-6081, FAX: 612-778-6176. 01/07/99 T-7098.1 POSF PK The 3M Environmental Laboratoiy will manage the extraction and analysis o f sera, liver, urine and feces for the parent compound, POSF, and its presumed metabolite, PFOS.
